Bad Axe junior Galen Miller will serve as Program Board president and Rockford junior Aneline Mellin will serve as vice president for the 2018-19 year, the organization announced April 9.

Current president and Hartland senior, Marissa Mattioli said she is very excited to see how Program Board will expand under the directon of its new Executive Board.

“This year, the application process was extremely competitive which made the leadership teams decision extremely hard,” Mattioli said. “The new executive board represents the best of the best student leaders with exceptional qualifications and skills.”

She said she has personally seen both Miller and Mellin grow as students on campus.

“Anelene was actually my Safari participant two years ago, so it is so rewarding to see her be elected in this position,” she said in regards to the Vice Presidentelect. “She is such a dedicated general member and truly an asset to our organization.”

Mattioli said Miller is also an experienced leader on campus and in the community.

Miller currently serves as executive director and founder of Pack Your Back, a nonprofit organization that provides school supplies and financial support to children in need.

He also served as this year’s president of the Interfraternity Council (IFC) at Central Michigan University.

Program Board’s Executive Board is selected through an application and interview process via OrgSync. Candidates are interviewed and selected by the current president, vice president and adviser, Miller said.

“I believe this organization offers so much to its members and the student body as a whole,” he said.

Miller said prior to arriving at CMU, he had been interested in joining the group. He said he fell in love with volunteering at events

as a general member during his freshman year.

“I have seen the organization grow to what it is today and I believe that with my experience I have the potential to take the organization to the next level,” he said.

Miller’s goal is to utilize relationships across campus to develop better collaborations and partnerships with the organization.

He plans to use assistance from outside organizations and departments to publicize events and expand their size and value.

Miller said he is fairly confident he and Mellin will be a strong duo.

“I have great confidence that both of these individuals will continue to create an amazing legacy within this organization as set by the leadership before them,” Mattioli said. “I know that the organization is in amazing hands.”

March phishing simulation forms ‘baseline’ for OIT

By Issac Ritchey Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Office of Information Technology security officers recently collected data from a March phishing simulation, forming a “baseline” from which future numbers can be compared.

In Fall 2017, OIT introduced an initiative that would provide Central Michigan University with a heightened and stronger security system. Part of the security initiative is performing a range of phishing simulations.

According to SANS Institute — an online organization committed to strengthening online security — phishing is a pinpoint attack against a subset of people with the goal of mining passwords or personal information like social security or credit card numbers.

March’s simulation, which concluded at the end of the month, was the first in a series of simulations to come.

“We didn’t go into (the simulation) with any specific expectations,” said Kole Taylor, communications manager of OIT. “Overall, (OIT) is happy with the data collected, excited to move forward and work to continually bring numbers down.”

PhishMe — the tool used in the simulation — sent 2,746 counterfeit phishing messages to all faculty and staff users at CMU. It tracked the participants who opened the message, how many times the link in the message was clicked and the number of people submitting their personal data on the spoofed page.

Usernames were kept anonymous and passwords were not stored. However, upon submitting their credentials, susceptible participants were provided resources on how to avert a genuine threat.

According to a report organized by the security officers, 1,003 of the emails were opened and 234 of those participants submitted the desired credentials.

Of the total participants, 8.5 percent submitted their credentials. Of those who opened the email, 23.3 percent submitted their credentials.

“The data collected is being used to give us an idea of our current state so future phishing simulations can be compared,” Taylor said. “We now have a baseline, so we know what kind of effort to put into training and education.”

OIT is unsure when the next simulation will occur. Discussions will take place in Summer 2018, with the highest likelihood being the next simulation will happen in

the fall.

In the future, OIT anticipates simulations conducted with students.

On the off chance that another simulation happens over the summer, it would solely be for CMU employees, Taylor said.

Phishing emails target a person’s direct deposit, tax forms (UW2), passwords and linked accounts. Access is gained through embedded links and the release of confidential information.

According to OIT’s webpage, CMU students, faculty and staff can avoid phishing emails by noticing improper verb conjugation, spelling mistakes, generic terminology and performing a “skeptical hover,” — a technique that involves mousing-over a link to make sure it will send recipients to a webpage they are familiar with.

Allowing a phisher access to a CMU email or account can cause a cascading effect, compromising several accounts at once, Taylor said. Because of this, users should be careful using a university email as a recover or primary email.

If ever skeptical, people should contact the CMU IT desk or report suspicious emails to spambusters@cmich.edu before responding or interacting with it, Taylor said.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

OWLS SLUTWALK TO TAKE PLACE APRIL 15 Central Michigan University’s Organization of Women Leaders (OWLs) will be hosting its annual SlutWalk from 1-3 p.m. April 15.

SlutWalk is an opportunity for students, staff and community members to stand up against victim blaming, street harassment and rape culture. The event will also provide a space for survivors to feel empowered and share their experiences if they feel comfortable doing so.

The walk will begin at the Bovee University Center and continue to downtown Mount Pleasant.

OWLs President and Wyandotte junior Ashleigh Laho said the walk will bring awareness to sexual harassment by confronting it “head-on.”

“By naming these issues and voicing our stance against them, we are bringing

attention to and against sexual harassment, victim blaming and rape culture,” she said.

Laho added OWLs understands that previous SlutWalk events around the country have not all been inclusive.

Past SlutWalks around the nation may have failed to include people of any diverse background, however, there are several populations much more at risk to be victimized, Laho said. She said it is important to include any and all people because rape culture and sexual assault affects everyone.

“OWLs welcomes everyone who wants to take a stand against sexual assault and rape culture, and support survivors to attend SlutWalk at CMU,” Laho said.

Keepin' it Local ‘Shop Talk’ feature made to help you explore, support Mount Pleasant businesses If you've picked up our print edition, visited cm-life.com or watched any of our videos recently, Abbie Robinson | File Photo you've probably noticed we've started a new segment.

Stan’s Resturant on Dec. 9, 2015, located at 220 E. Broadway St. Designed by our Community News team "Shop Talk" is a feature that runs once weekly both on our website and in print. It was designed with the intention of keeping you aware of the businesses both new and old around Mount Pleasant.

Did you know there's a coffee shop downtown, Ponder Coffee Company, that features waffles that come topped with salmon and dill cream cheese, blueberries and pears or a cinnamon roll flavored one with Ben Suddendorf | Staff Photographer brown sugar and roasted pecans?

Or that the Paperback Book ExStore Manager Josh Grosteffon sells Lake alumni Britany Johnson change is staffed by two full-time video games on Feb. 27 at Game On, located at 1024 S. Mission St. employees: a woman and her pet dog, Fauzey Bare?

Did you know Mount Pleasant is home to more than four different comic book, video and table top gaming stores?

And guess what — there's more Mexican restaurants in the city than just La Seniorita (even if it is a great place to eat).

The reason we started “Shop Talk” is because we know, especially for freshmen or transfer students, Mount Pleasant can seem confusing.

Students don't often make the Ben Suddendorf | Staff Photographer trek downtown. Anywhere past The Main Street Audio/Video on Feb. 26, located at 701 N. Mission St. Bird Bar and Grill or Dog Central is usually uncharted territory for many.

EDITORIAL

We want to fix the misconception that there's "nothing in Mount Pleasant."

From sushi to Southern soul food, juice bars to bakeries, we want students to be aware of the shops and restaurants that populate the city around them. The more you shop local and support these businesses, the more good they can do for our community through their craft.

While it's nice to have a Panda Express, Taco Bell or McDonald’s, these food chains aren't the backbone of the community.

Local businesses are.

So help us help you. If you believe there's a local business who doesn't get enough attention by students, or even community members, let us know. Email our news team at news@cm-life.com, contact us on Twitter @CMLife or shoot us a message on our Facebook page — Central Michigan Life.

For many students, Mount Pleasant has been (or will be) a fixture in their lives for four or more years.

Don't you want to explore your home-away-from-home while you're here?

We do.

Millennial nostalgia more potent due to rapid tech changes I don't have to tell you what Furbies, Tamagotchi pets, Blockbuster VHS tapes, "Rugrats," HitClips, band-aid bubble gum and Lite-Brites all have in common with each other — chances are you are already experiencing the common thread that runs between them.

Existing mostly as distant childhood memories, they are guaranteed to elicit waves of nostalgia in Millennials.

It happens when you hear a song come on the radio and you think about a middle school dance where you ran around gossiping about your crush. It happens when you get a whiff of a scent that reminds you of an old friend.

Nostalgia hits you when you least expect it, and good or bad, it is hitting Millennials harder than other generations.

Why are Millennials so nostalgic?

Every generation experiences nostalgia, but Millennials have lived through a complete cultural shift, creating a clear line between our childhood and our adulthood. Advancements in technology reshaped society at the same time that

Ashley Schafer Staff Reporter

we were shaping ourselves into adults.

While we were gawking at the latest product, we were absentmindedly saying goodbye to the last. Analogue toys and landlines were replaced with handheld games and flip phones, only to become tablets and smartphones in the matter of a few years.

Now we can hardly relate to our younger selves who played outside all day instead of staring at phone screens. Even our brains — the way we process information — has changed from linear long-form input of one source to fast-paced scanning of multiple outlets of information.

Not only has technology advanced, but those advancements have allowed for the easy capture of memories through pictures, audio and video. There are even

apps that market to our need for nostalgia, like Timehop, which shows previously made posts across social media accounts, and the "on-this-day" feature on Facebook. Similarly, there are days of the week dedicated to reminiscing (#TBT, #FBF, etc.) on social media.

Memories are no longer a dusty photo album brought out during special occasions, but referenced daily and in seconds. No other generation has had this instant access to the past.

For me, and I’m sure many others, nostalgia is an overwhelming sense of yearning. I miss my past so terribly when I think about all of the good memories that are gone forever, never to be relived.

The circumstances of life will never again allow for the exact same experience.

The more I ponder over a past experience, the farther away it seems. My childhood and the objects that symbolize it seem simple and come packaged in positivity. Each time I have to wrench myself back to reality and move on with my life.

The past is such a funny thing.

Memories are so precious, but what can you do with them? Reminiscing could arguably be a massive waste of time because the past is concrete. Spending time pondering what cannot be changed is not conducive to the future.

What are the implications of an entire generation living so disconnected from their past? While there may be nothing more than an emotional burden, it is just another unique challenge that Millennials have no choice but to endure.

It is unique because no other living generation has had to cope with growing up during such a quick technological advancement, and it is a challenge because we have to be productive towards our future while constantly being distracted by our past.

Despite the emotional havoc of looking at an old object, Millennials find pride in their nostalgia, as if it is an accomplishment to hold on so dearly to what could be easily forgotten. Each new remembrance is something to hold onto as we sprint into the uncertain future.

We must fight political polarization by listening to each other College students are becoming politically polarized, making it important to represent the entire political spectrum equally.

There must be opportunities to civilly discuss differing beliefs.

In 2017, I graduated from Algoma Christian School, a small private school in Kent County. What I experienced there made me attune to what is going on at Central Michigan University.

Senior year, I was required to take a class on U.S. government. Like many high school seniors, my knowledge of political topics was green and undeveloped. Nonetheless, I was intrigued and excited to study systems of government and the terminology associated.

Unfortunately, the class was taught by a middle-aged Republican who did not waiver in his political views.

I witnessed as students had a battering-ram of one-sided "facts" repetitively pound into their heads. I felt sorry for those leaning toward the left on the political spectrum.

Issac Ritchey Staff Reporter

It was awful seeing him fail to courteously debate or even openly speak with students having opinions and views different than his own.

I remember one instance, where the teacher raised his voice to a student after they confronted him about using biased "informative" videos in class. He haughtily told them if they did not want to watch the videos, they could excuse themselves.

At the time, I considered myself to be Independent when it came to my political views. It was never difficult for me to see both sides of a dilemma or social issue.

Sadly, the same one-sided representation I observed in a small private school is prevalent at Central Michigan University — only this time the megaphone on

campus is liberal.

In my freshman year, I have already experienced this dilemma in classrooms and in the publicizing of biased opinions.

I have sat in classrooms where degrading and inconsiderate remarks about political candidates and comments like "conservatives and their ignorance" are made to an unknown variety of students by professors.

After the March 2 shooting, I witnessed a student cautiously suggested not including the murder of Diva and James Davis Sr. in the discussion regarding school shootings since it was a domestic case.

I observed as this student's voice was drowned out and disregarded in an open discussion by a mass of liberalminded students in a journalism class.

They called him "numb" to the incident, though he offered sincere condolences to the Davis family.

The University of California at Los Angeles' Higher Education Research Institute released a study in 2017 sug-

gesting that freshman have become politically polarized. Fewer students than ever before (42.3 percent) categorized their political views as “middle of the road.”

With this clear divide in political beliefs, students at public universities should not be immersed in solely Democratic political views without a counterbalance of Republican counterpoints.

According to the same study by HERI at UCLA, liberal professors outnumber conservatives 12 to 1 in campuses across the United States.

In a time when equality and tolerance is preached, why are Republicans and Democrats not sharing the soapbox at high schools and on college campuses?

Campuses must begin to provide structured and safe opportunities for students to discuss their political differences civilly and without conflict so both beliefs can be embodied without partiality.

How else can students be fully involved politically unless they hear all sides of a debate?

More than 30 teams to take part in New Venture Competition

By Farhan Coleman Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

For 32 student-led teams, eight months of hard work and dedication will pay off during the New Venture Competition.

The eighth-annual event, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. April 13 in the Education and Human Services Building and McGuirk Arena, is hosted by the College of Business Administration. Teams will compete in three separate rounds for more than $90,000 in cash prizes.

More than 70 successful business professionals will serve as judges at the competition.

Bruce Marble, executive director of the Entrepreneurship Institute at Central Michigan University, emphasized the importance of this event as a learning tool for young entrepreneurs.

“We try to introduce (students) to mentors, advisors and experts and that’s a key part of it,” Marble said. “What they get to do at this event is pitch to those decision makers and actually earn capital to allow them to go forward with their idea.”

Registration opens at 8:30 a.m. in the EHS Building for the start of the competition. Once registration concludes at 9:30 a.m., there will be a welcoming ceremony that leads into the first round of the competition, which starts at 10 a.m. Final awards will be handed out at 6 p.m. in McGuirk Arena.

Each team will give a 10-minute pitch about their ideas in separate rooms in front of four judges. Once their pitch is over, the judges will have a chance to ask questions and give feedback.

This year’s competition will introduce a new award category,

the Investor Contribution Award.

This award is essentially an audience choice award where everyone who registers for the event will receive investment poker

chips they can use to invest in the student venture gallery displays.

Graduate students Tim Harkleroad and Zachary Huffman, members of team “Drone the

News” and first place winners at the Make-A-Pitch competition, plan to take the constructive criticism they received from Make-A-Pitch and use it to

improve upon their idea for the New Venture Competition.

“We got a lot of feedback after our pitch last semester at Make-A-Pitch that in our first 30 seconds we need to get across the concept of the company and how it’s going to be effective in the industry,” Harkleroad said.

“That’s something we’ve been working on changing.”

“Drone the News” is an idea that was started by both Harkleroad and Huffman to help implement drones into everyday news coverage.

“Our largest asset has been the team of advisers and the team of people who want to help us and be a part of this and I think a lot of that has come from the New Venture Competition,” Huffman said. “We haven’t even competed in it, but we’re already seeing the benefits from what it has brought to us.”

Hendricks hopes to garner more student input as SGA president

By Quinn Kirby Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Traverse City junior Jake Hendricks and Nashville sophomore Lyndi Rose are Student Government Association president and vice president, respectively, for the 2018-19 academic year.

More than 830 students voted in this year’s election, which took place April 1-6 via OrgSync.

Hendricks and Rose defeated the ticket of presidential candidate and Indiana senior Shane Guenin and vice presidential candidate and Greenville senior Allison Harrison.

Central Michigan University policy does not require SGA to disclose candidate vote totals.

Central Michigan Life spoke with Hendricks to discuss elec-

JAKE HENDRICKS

tion results, campaign promises and what the new administration’s first step will be when it takes over

next academic year.

CM Life: How do you feel about winning the election?

Hendricks: It’s super exciting.

The coolest thing about it was we had the opportunity to go out and talk to students on campus. I know that’s the part (Rose) and I enjoyed the most. Bringing those views into our campaign was the most important thing to us and making sure students felt heard on campus.

In regards to your platform, what are you doing first?

(The) first thing is we want to

have a functioning cabinet. We’re going to be doing interviews — the post will be going out sometime this week (on the SGA Facebook page) about different positions — and hopefully we’ll be able to interview everyone and have a meeting together before summer break.

Once we have those people together, we want to brainstorm how we can take some of the priorities we campaigned on and add priorities of the student body that weren’t in our campaign and see what kind of plans we can put in place so we can start on the ground running next semester.

What suggestions from students are you planning on implementing?

We’re going to encourage students in SGA to participate in programs that are about diversity.

We’ll make sure our budget is sustainable. (There have been) different questions about organizations we want to partner with. One of our ideas is to partner with Take Back the Tap to hand out reusable water bottles. It’s important to encourage a sustainable mindset on campus. We also want to make sure SGA includes members of the community who aren’t (Registered Student Organization) representatives so people might feel more comfortable coming to our meetings. Anybody can write legislation, so we want to encourage that and get people to come in with their different viewpoints.

SGA President Anna Owens’ administration was more program-based than in previous years with a lot of legislation.

How would you want your administration to function?

We would love if there was passionate legislation that comes through. That would be awesome.

I imagine, starting out, we’ll have a lot of the same representatives who we’ll encourage to work on those projects.

I’m hoping it’s a balance between projects and legislation because we really need to do those projects to be recognized in the community. That makes our legislation more meaningful.

You’re planning to bring students who were not previously in SGA to the organization.

What other method do you have to do this other than projects?

We want to send out senators to different RSO meetings — maybe two meetings per semester — so they can go out to organizations and talk to them about what senate is and what house is so

students might be more inclined to be a part of SGA. Rather than them coming to SGA not really knowing what it is, being passionate and encouraged to come to us.

Can you explain how your idea of a Greek community liaison is going to be implemented?

We want to make sure the volunteer coordinator is working closer with the Greek community.

Ideally, it would be someone who either has a Greek background or is passionate about working with student groups on campus.

We want to reach out to the Greek community to maybe partner in volunteer activities or help them raise money during Greek Week or something like that — just trying to bridge that gap because a lot of students feel there’s a gap although we do have Greek representatives.

It’s 1985. There are about 150 kids lined up outside the local rock bar, Tom’s Foolery.

They are about to have a lifechanging experience: witnessing the raw fury of America’s most powerful punk act, Black Flag.

In fact, Black Flag — fronted by musician, actor and spoken word artist Henry Rollins — played the downtown Mount Pleasant venue, now called Rubbles, twice in the 1980s.

“I was amazed I was seeing a show like that in Mount Pleasant,” said David Ginsburg, a former librarian at Central Michigan University, who was at the first show.

The California-based band wasn’t the only alternative music icon that played at the bar. The venue, which today serves as a launching pad for a new generation of bands, has a long history of hosting punk and alternative musicians from all over the country.

Ska-based party bands and bands with raw, hardcore fury all graced the building’s foot high stage.

BLACK FLAG Mount Pleasant has a fairly long history with punk rock and alternative music. Perhaps the city’s most notable punk rock moments were the two Black Flag shows performed by the legendary hardcore band on July 18, 1985 and June 25, 1986.

The show in 1985 is noteworthy, because the band performed twice that day. The daytime performance was an all-ages show, with a 21

and over show in the evening – although that didn’t stop some underage fans from attending. The crowd estimate ranges from 100 to about 250 people for each show.

The bar’s capacity is 150 people.

“It was well over capacity,” said Chris Goosman, a former sound man and Foolery regular. “I’m sure if the fire marshal had come that night, they would have shut the place down.”

People from all over the state attended the shows. It was unthinkable for local punks and alternative music fans that the band traveled all the way from Los Angeles to Central Michigan. There was slam-dancing. There were

mosh pits. These kids and outcasts got to be see their idols close up – to be screamed at and sweated on

by Rollins and company.

“It was the loudest show I had ever been to. Period,” Goosman said.

Even before they took the stage for their first show, the members of Black Flag made their presence felt downtown. The band stayed the night in the apartment located above the bar. Many people, including Goosman and Ginsburg, saw Rollins hanging out in front of Foolery before the show.

John Gonzalez of the MLive Grand Rapids Press, who was a reporter for Central Michigan Life,

interviewed Rollins to promote the 1985 show. At the time, Rollins had a reputation for being an intimidating nightmare for unprepared interviewers. While Gonzalez had only dealt with him over the phone, the music journalist said it was still a challenge.

“For the first 15 minutes (of the interview), I was trying to figure out if he was speaking English,” Gonzalez said. “He was going a mile-a-minute.

Then he would suddenly stop and not say anything.”

Rollins invited Gonzalez to say hello the day of the concert. Gonzalez arrived that day to find an intense, focused Rollins writing in his

some in the crowd.

“You could tell there was tension between the band,” said Roger Hitts, a former CM Life entertainment reporter who attended both shows. “They seemed to have had less joy being on that stage.”

The band would go on to play two more shows — Ann Arbor and Detroit.

Black Flag disbanded in August 1986.

TOM’S FOOLERY While the bar may never have pulled in another act as big as Black Flag, Tom’s Foolery still has an impressive history of names that performed there during the ‘80s. While the bar hosted bands that were not considered “punk”, if a noteworthy band from those genres was going to play in Mount Pleasant, it was probably going to be at the Foolery.

“Those (punks) lived at The Fool-

ery,” said 1990 alumnus Tony Bittick.

The person who brought these bands to Central Michigan was Harvey Venier. At an early age, the Sault Ste. Marie native developed a love of music. That interest grew to a devotion to punk and hardcore music.

After attending University of Michigan, Venier returned to Sault Ste. Marie. While working at a bar there, he developed an interest in owning his own establishment that

hosted live music.

“I was never interested in getting into the bar business at a place that was just liquor, or just liquor and food,” Venier said. “My interest was having a place where we could put on shows.”

Venier and friends went searching throughout Michigan for a bar to buy. Since this bar would be hosting “more hip” bands, they knew it had to be in Detroit or a college town.

Eventually, he settled on buying The Foolery in Mount Pleasant.

He took ownership of the bar in 1984.

Venier began booking punk, hardcore and alternative acts right away. He also started drawing interest from national artists.

The new bar owner realized there were castaways in town who needed a place to call their own.

The Foolery could provide them with a place they could feel was theirs, Venier believed, while he supported the musicians he liked.

“It was this oasis, in the middle of a cultural desert,” Goosman said.

BIRTH OF ALTERNATIVE ROCK The Foolery boasted a surprising number of up-and-coming bands that eventually became well-known to fans of college radio and MTV’s “120 Minutes.”

The Flaming Lips played its first Foolery show in January 1988, which was bad timing for the Oklahoma natives. On the way to Mount Pleasant, the band’s tour bus broke down and they drove w PUNK ROCK | 15

blizzard,” said Steve Scherer, a Foolery regular and former CMU faculty member, and arrived a couple of hours late.

By his account, many people who went to see The Flaming Lips didn’t even know who they were. Because they showed up late the band had to quickly set up their light show, but once they were finished everyone in the crowd left impressed.

“I was rather astonished at them,” Scherer said.

Before they appeared on “Saturday Night Live” in 1991, the six-piece L.A. group Fishbone appeared at Foolery. The group pioneered a ska (a genre started in Jamaica that influenced reggae and rocksteady), punk and funk sound that later went on to inspire many other alternative bands such as the Red Hot Chili

Peppers. They played frantic, high-energy sets in 1985 that kept kids in the crowd dancing the entire time.

“People’s jaws just dropped,” Hitts said. “People really didn’t know their music, (but) they were just the biggest party band.”

Alternative rock band Soul Asylum played at the Foolery be-

fore they became famous in 1993 with their hit single, “Runaway Train.” Venier and Gooseman recalled them putting on a lively, much rawer performance.

“They had all the musical chops; that was obvious later when they became more mainstream,” Venier said. “But they were a lot harder, rawer, faster.”

Hitts however, had a more wild time after the concert. He remembers inviting lead-singer, Dave Pirner, back to his apartment after the show because they were interested in having a few more drinks. When they realized they were locked out, Pirner decided he would do his part to keep the evening going.

“Pirner scales the building (and) gets up onto the roof. I’m standing outside my door, locked out, while he jumps through my skylight,” Hitts said. “He unlocks the door, he’s got blood dripping down his arm (and) he’s holding a half gallon of Southern Comfort I had in the living room.”

He and Pirner then kept the good times going at a party afterwards.

Music fans like Hitts were able to meet some of their favorite bands thanks to The Foolery.

Some other notable performers include: •Dead Milkmen • Afghan Whigs • Meat Puppets • The Crucifucks •The Toll But as all CMU students know, every great party must come to an end.

In late 1989, Venier was forced to sell the bar due to financial difficulties. Less than a decade

after he purchased it, it was last call at Tom’s Foolery.

RUBBLES AND WORKHORSE MOVEMENT Tom Minelli purchased the business and renamed the bar “Rubbles.” Foolery regulars say they felt betrayed — they felt that the bar was something special that was taken away from them.

Minelli started booking more bands that were a stark contrast from the punk and alternative acts that built the bar’s legend and wasn’t bringing in nationally-recognized bands as often as the Foolery did. Rubbles instead put more of an emphasis on local and regional bands. Before they got national recognition, Michigan locals Sponge, Mustard Plug and The Suicide Machines played at Rubbles in the 1990s.

For Mount Pleasant, the most significant local band to play was

the Workhorse Movement. An alternative-metal act inspired by bands like Clutch, Workhorse was formed by four CMU students in the mid-’90s.

“When we started (playing) Detroit and Chicago, there were people who were (CMU) graduates, people coming back home, so it kind of spread from Central,” said Matthew Kozuch, former frontman for the Workhorse Movement, and 1996 CMU alumnus. “We got our record deals 100 percent out of CMU crowds.”

When Workhorse first started, Kozuch said there was a lively music scene in Mount Pleasant.

Workhorse Movement played alongside groove-based bands like Botfly and funk-based band Bent Lucy. He recalled lines of eager concert goers that would wrap around Main Street waiting

to get into Rubbles. There, the bar would go well beyond capacity, and things would get a little “hazy.” To Kozuch, this remined him of the alternative and grunge scene from early ‘90s Seattle.

“At the time, Mount Pleasant was as close to what going on in Seattle as you could get,” Kozuch said.

It was dirty, dim and the place always rocked.

“We would leave after a show, and there wouldn’t be any ceiling tiles left,” Kozuch said.

For Kozuch, the most memorable Rubbles show wasn’t Sponge or himself playing on stage – it was witnessing a fiery perfor-

mance by a KISS tribute band.

The band was accurate, meaning they had full-pyrotechnics inside the small, wooden building.

“The ceiling caught on fire,” Kozuch said. “There were hundreds of people jammed in there and nobody could move.”

Everyone had to evacuate the building, though the band proceeded to finish their set.

Workhorse Movement eventually moved to Detroit, where they signed to local label, Overcore. They released a self titled E.P. and were then signed to the famed metal label, Roadrunner Records, the same company that also included Mercyful Fate, Slip-

knot, Biohazard and Madball.

In 2000, the band released its album, “Sons of the Pioneers.”

Workhorse Movement toured and performed with Slayer, Green Day, Metallica and Slipknot. The band supported Disturbed on its first major tour when “The Sickness” became a national phenomenon.

In late 2000, Workhorse played its last show in Detroit.

They broke up the morning after.

From the ashes of Workhorse came the Dirty Americans, a blues-rock band once again fronted by Kozuch and features most of the members from Workhorse Movement. The Dirty Americans have played Rubbles in the past, as recently as 2012.

RUBBLES: THE SAME HOUSE OF ROCK MUSIC Mostly unchanged from its most recent bit of remodeling — in 1989 — Rubbles remains a popular downtown venue for live

music. The walls are caked with stickers from bands that have played there. Promoters still bring in punk bands from time to time as well as alternative rock acts, and classic and southern rock bands.

As recently as 2007, Sponge returned to perform at the bar.

Mustard Plug came back in 2013 to do a show. And every now and then, Minelli allows The Foolery originals to come back and have a reunion with all the local bands that played there in the ‘80s.

Recently, Michigan punk bands like The Tosspints and The Purps have played there.

Among the recent bands who have taken the stage at Rubbles is The Red Wires. They have been playing at Rubbles since 2014. Michael Bologna, a CMU alumnus and the band’s drummer, said he would go to Rubbles every other week while attending CMU. He also considers Rubbles a great starter venue for local bands.

While he was aware Rubbles

had been around for a while, he didn’t know anything about the Foolery or the legendary gigs played there. He was surprised to learn that he has played on the same stage as Black Flag and The Flaming Lips.

“That tells me that I could – if I keep pursuing what I’m doing – I could be potentially be on a larger scale,” Bologna said.

The Red Wires continue to play around the area. And the next time they play at Rubbles, maybe a local Mount Pleasant band will open for them, and they’ll gain enough momentum to have their own headlining show. Then perhaps they’ll move on to other clubs, and larger venues. Maybe they will start playing out of state, and touring with national bands and playing big festivals.

The next big national rock band might get its start right here in Mount Pleasant on stage at Rubbles.

Only time will tell.

PITCHING PURPOSE Sophomore right-handed pitcher Zach Kohn plays for father battling leukemia

“

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

When Central Michigan sophomore pitcher Zach Kohn traveled home last season after a three-game weekend series, he expected everything to be normal.

It was a typical Sunday night at the Kohn household in Woodhaven. Zach remembers he was playing ping-pong with his brothers to pass the time. Then, his father Greg sat him down to talk.

Greg had been diagnosed with leukemia before Zach got home, and Zach didn’t yet know about it.

“I didn’t think anything of it,” Zach said. “He said, ‘Zach, I have leukemia but I’m going to beat this.’ I started to cry. My heart dropped because this was something I prayed every night not to happen.”

The baseball team had Monday off, but Zach stayed behind on Tuesday for an extra day with his family in Woodhaven. He returned to the team on Wednesday in Ann Arbor for a game

“I kept telling myself it wouldn’t be long until (my dad) was back in the crowd.”

Zach Kohn Woodhaven Sophomore against University of Michigan.

“Before the game, I was (fetching baseballs) for batting practice and all I could think of was how great my life was the last time I was (collecting baseballs) and how quickly everything turned,” Zach said. “I kept telling myself it wouldn’t be long until (my dad) was back in the crowd.”

Greg’s sister Maureen DiGiacomo found out she was a bone marrow match and guided Greg in his recuperation from cancer.

“She didn’t hesitate to (donate) at all,” Zach said.

The Kohn family didn’t wait to notify the doctors about finding a donor and starting to transfer the bone marrow.

“Everything went well, but he was in the hospital for four or five weeks before (the bone marrow transfer),” Kohn said. “It was tough to see him going through chemo and radiation.”

Baseball head coach Steve Jaksa has been able to mentor Zach on the field for one full season and half of a second season.

Jaksa said he has seen the rest of the team pick Zach up during hard times.

“I just see a guy who’s a little down sometimes,” Jaksa said.

“He’s holding up and has a good supportive group with the team.

It’s personal when it’s your own family, but overall, he’s doing really well.”

Along with pitching for his father, Zach also keeps his grandma, Maureen Kohn, in mind on the mound. Maureen, whom Zach calls Grandma Kohn, died during his father’s chemotherapy treatments.

High-scoring offense, consistency carried softball on streak

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

During a slow start to the season with a 9-15 record, the Central Michigan softball team’s offense wavered.

That was not the case during the Chippewas’ nine-game win streak — they have scored a combined 60 runs over nine games.

Eight of the Chippewas’ nine wins came against conference opponents. They sit at second place in the MAC West Division behind conference-best Toledo (25-13, 9-1).

“Winning is contagious,” said redshirt junior left fielder Sara Hansen. “Being at home I think helps a lot because we have a very encouraging fan base and

the results are coming with it.”

CMU swept Buffalo over this past weekend with 31 total hits and 30 runs scored. As a team, the Chippewas are first in the conference in batting average (.310), sixth in hits (261) and third in triples (11).

“A lot of it depends on who is in the circle for the other team and we will see better pitching this year,” said head coach Margo Jonker. “It’s just a matter of not wanting to do too much and it’s more about just doing your job (hitting) and I think the team gets that right now.”

During the win streak, CMU only allowed more than two runs in one game.

Senior pitcher Hanna Warren (5-5) — who leads the team in wins, earned run average (2.62) and strikeouts (49) —

in the mix.”

Warren added the hitting has also improved the team’s confidence.

“The offense has been kill-

ing it lately and it’s so nice to know you have that (score) gap because you can try different things with your pitches,” Warren said.

Warren said she can try some different things while pitching because she can rely on the team’s offense to back her up in the batter’s box.

Rival Eastern Michigan travels to Mount Pleasant this weekend for a three-game series, starting with the first game at 3 p.m. April 13 at Margo Jonker Stadium.

“Eastern is a loud and energetic team and always have been,” Warren said. “They carry that momentum with them and if they do we have to take it from them. If we play the way we are right now, it makes us hard to beat.”

Zach said.

Since he was a boy, Zach has been religious. He has maintained his faith in God through times of trial and tribulation.

“Believing in God and His powers and what He can do, I really think no matter what happens in life,” Zach said. “He has a plan.”

In every circumstance, Zach’s mother, Elizabeth Kohn, keeps the family together through her hope and positive attidude.

“My mom has played a big role since the beginning of this whole process,” Zach said. “She makes sure we keep up with our faith and really is the rock that holds us all together.”

Zach, along with his brothers Drew and Travis, is propelled by

his mother to keep his head up in spite of life struggles.

“It can be really tough not knowing exactly what my dad is going through but knowing my mom is there to take care of him gives me a feeling of relief.”

This time, when CMU traveled to play Michigan in Ann Arbor on March 28, Greg was in attendance to cheer on his son. “(That) was special considering the year previous I was just learning about his condition and what he was going to have to go through,” Zach said.

The right-handed pitcher has appeared in six games for the Chippewas this season. He has thrown 18 strikeouts and allowed 15 hits to opposing batters.

said everyone has been getting a chance to throw, which helps the pitcher’s confidence.

Lazzaro, Poljan battle for starting quarterback position

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Two years ago, it was Cooper Rush.

Last year, it was Shane Morris.

Now, two new quarterbacks — senior Tommy Lazzaro and sophomore Tony Poljan — will compete for the opportunity to play under center for the Central Michigan football team in 2018.

“They are both working hard and preparing,” said head coach John Bonamego.

“They’re both miles ahead of where they were a year ago. There’s a lot of roles that are still being fought for and some of them won’t be defined until we get into training camp.”

Lazzaro grew up in Monument, Colorado, and attended Pine Creek High School. He led his team to back-to-back Class 4A Colorado State Championships in 2013 and 2014.

Lazzaro also set school records with 3,340 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes.

At one point in high school, Lazzaro led his team on a 24game winning streak.

After graduation, the 6-foot-3, 229-pound quarterback went to Dodge City Community College in Kansas.

With the Dodge City Conquistadors, Lazzaro threw for 2,237 yards, 14 touchdowns and nine interceptions.

“Playing a year of junior college football got me ready (for CMU),” Lazzaro said.

“I’ve seen some defenses and some stuff, but it’s a tough competition. (Offensive coordinator Chris) Ostrowsky has helped me develop. I’m able to read defenses better and help the run game get going.”

Lazzaro made his final stop in Mount Pleasant as a transfer. He watched Rush in

his final year in the Maroon and Gold and competed for the starting job in 2017 with Morris and Poljan.

“Tony’s a good quarterback and we like everything we are seeing,” Lazzaro said. “The whole offense is doing good.”

Unlike Lazzaro, Poljan has taken a more conventional path to CMU. The 6-foot7, 237-pound dual-threat quarterback completed 390-of-670 passing attempts for 6,090 yards and 58 touchdown passes over his four-year career at Lansing Catholic High School.

As a true freshman in 2017, he lost the quarterback battle to Morris, but appeared in all 12 games as a quarterback and wide receiver, with plenty of designed quarterback run plays. The backup quarterback placed fourth on the team in total offense at the end of the season.

“I learned a lot last year,” Poljan said. “I’m taking everything I learned from that season to bring it together this season. I’m just trusting the process.”

In 2017, Poljan completed 10-of-17 passes for 61 yards, caught five passes for 97 yards and ran 23 times for 110 attempts. He scored his first career touchdown on a 3-yard run against Kent State

on Nov. 14.

“I know to be ready when my time comes around,” Poljan said. “I try to always be prepared and never stop working.”

When looking at the attributes of both players, Bonamego said the duo have more similarities than differences, which could make it tough to decide between the two.

“They are both strongarmed guys and physical,” Bonamego said. “Tommy is by no means a small player. I’m pleased with the way Tony is processing things. He’s made some checks and gotten us out of a bad play and into good plays, whether it be run to pass or pass to run. He’s displayed a lot of savvy in that.”

Similar to last season with Morris and Poljan, Bonamego also holds to option to use Lazzaro at quarterback and Poljan as a designed runner or wide receiver.

Poljan went to the same high school as Rush — Lansing Catholic High School.

After graduating, Poljan was ranked as the No. 17 recruit in Michigan.

Rush was not chosen in the 2017 NFL Draft, but worked into a backup role with the Dallas Cowboys. Lazzaro had a chance to learn from Rush.

“With Cooper, I really learned the film side of

things,” Lazzaro said.

The veteran quarterback also praised learning behind former quarterback Morris, who is currently training to play professional football. “(Morris) was new to the game, but he was a great overall player,” Lazzaro said. “He’s

one of my best friends and he played at Michigan, so he saw some of the top-tier programs.”

Even though Lazzaro and Poljan have taken different paths to Mount Pleasant, the two are there and in competition to take charge of the Chippewas in the 2018 season.

Fans may get a sneak peak at each quarterback in game-like situations at the annual CMU Spring Game at 1 p.m. April 21.

The 2018 regular season starts Sept. 1 at Kentucky, then the Chippewas face Kansas on Sept. 8 at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium.

Baseball takes on Toledo in three-game home series

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Coming off a three-game series and blowout loss against top-ranked Kent State, the Central Michigan baseball team has three conference games to get back on track.

The Chippewas (10-20-1) return to Theunissen Stadium for a three-game series against Toledo (9-18) from April 13-15.

“We will be fine against anybody as long as we play the way we are supposed to play,” said head coach Steve Jaksa.

“It’s not about what they do against us, it’s about how we prepare against them.”

CMU is fourth in the MAC standings behind Miami (Ohio), Kent State and To-

ledo. The Chippewas are one of three teams in the MAC who are tied with five conference wins.

Heading into the series with Toledo, junior right-hander Pat Leatherman (1-4, 3.86 ERA) takes the mound on Friday.

He will be followed by junior right-hander Michael Brettell (4-3, 4.03 ERA). In the series finale on Sunday, sophomore left-hander Tyler Hankins will return to the mound. “(Brettell) has been pretty good,” Jaksa said. “Some of it is confidence, but he has a good feel for what works for him. We keep it to a simplified game plan for him because it doesn’t have to be complicated.

He has figured it out.”

CMU’s bullpen, led by sophomore right-hander Cameron Brown, has pitched 137.2 innings this season, allowing 112 runs. Brown is 1-1 with a 7.06 ERA through 21.2 innings. He said the bullpen needs to improve going forward.

“It’s going to be big for us to get back on the winning side of things,” Brown said.

“The guys just have to come to play and we will be fine.

Against Toledo, that’s a series we should get.”

Warren, an infielder, outfielder and catcher, is batting .295 with two doubles and 13 RBIs in 23 games.

Rockets fashion freshman outfielder John Servello, who has knocked six doubles, two triples, two home runs and 14 RBIs while maintaining a .337 batting average. “(Toledo) is an aggressive team with a lot of power,” Brettell said. “I know they have a lot of home runs, so it should be a good series against them. We are expecting success. We want to win and are ready to go.”

The Chippewas’ weekend games could be rescheduled or delayed due to weather in Mount Pleasant. Like other games this season, the team may be forced to cancel the game, but they must play it eventually because it is against a conference opponent.

On Friday, there is a 90 percent chance of rain in Mount Pleasant with thunderstorms in the forecast. It is also unlikely the Chippewas will reschedule a doubleheader on Saturday or Sunday, because of the rain forecasted.

There is a 100 percent chance of precipitation on Saturday and Sunday.

CHAMPIONS We spoke to Emily Bride, Captain of the IM Team of the Week CHAMPIONS.

How does it feel to be the IM Team of the Week Champs?

It is an awesome feeling to have won! We couldn't have been given this opportunity without support from our family, friends, sisters, and our nomination from the IM faculty!

What’s your advice to future intramural teams looking to win the title?

Our advice to future teams is to remember that

ALPHA SIGMA TAU

WEEK 2

while playing and being competitive, you must also remember that everyone is here to have fun. Shake off the bad moments and plays and just enjoy the game!

How has your team managed to maintain great sportsmanship throughout the season?

AST made sure each and every player and sister were accountable. Our sisters in the stands watching had the same accountability as our sisters playing the game to remain composed and collected even if there was an action or a call we disagreed with.

Everyone is human and makes mistakes and taking frustrations out on the other team or the referees is not helpful and will cause teams to lose those sportsmanship points.

Anything you want to say to your CHAMPIONSHIP team?

Ladies, I'm so proud of all of you! You rocked all season and I'm so happy you've given me the opportunity to be the captain of such an amazing group of women! A huge thank you to our coaches as well! TLAM!
