DEFENSIVE BACK SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY AFTER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGE Central Michigan football defensive back Tee-ondre Harvey has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules, according to the CMU Athletics Department. Court records show Harvey was arraigned this morning after being charged in early February. Harvey faces a domestic violence misdemeanor charge. Harvey’s girlfriend told police he “picked her up and slammed her on the bed.” Then, she accused Harvey of biting her lip and breaking the skin. He didn’t let her leave the room and he begged her not to call the police, the report said. During arraignment on Aug. 29, Harvey pleaded not guilty. “CMU Athletics holds each of our students to high expectations,” the press release stated. “(We) will continue to monitor the

situation and take additional action if necessary.” Harvey, a Detroit sophomore, appeared in seven games in the 2017 season and recorded one tackle against Ball State. After practice on Aug. 29, Bonamego spoke highly of their team rules and expectations. “I’m very serious about (team rules),” he said. “The standard for an athlete is higher than that of a normal student. We represent CMU and CMU football. The bar is very high.” -Dylan Goetz, Sports Editor

RELAX WITH THE CATS By Emilly Davis Opinion Editor

Chelsea Grobelny | Photo Editor A cat relaxes at the Karma Kat Cafe on Aug. 29, 2018.

Karma Kat Cafe offers a new, friendlier process of cat adoptions

hen students say goodbye to their families and leave their homes for Central Michigan University, they say goodbye to their pets too. That means students miss out on the stress relief, and unconditional affection animals have to offer. Downtown Mount Pleasant now offers a solution for those who miss their feline friends – Karma Kat Cafe, which opened in June. For $10, you can purchase an hour in the cafe’s cat room. Located at 612 E. Broadway St., it is only the fourth cat cafe in Michigan. It’s open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Sunday. It’s easy to feel like you’re at home in the cafe’s cat room. With purple walls, eclectic decorations, a huge array of cat toys and big cushy coaches, it looks like the living room from “Friends.” Except instead of Ross, Rachel and company, a gang of cat friends is waiting to greet you.

“We get a feel for them here, it’s like a big living room,” said owner Mystie Beckwith, a CMU alumna. “I get a feel for their personalities and what situations they’d be best in, so I can help recommend the best type of home for them.” The cats certainly are at home there. They climb up drawers affixed to the walls, sit on top of furniture, roll around and play with toys on the floor and curl up for a nap on the couches. If you sit down on a couch, chair or floor, one of the cats will crawl into your lap seeking your attention. The cafe provides another important service – it’s a “crossroads” between animal shelters and potential permanent homes. All of the cats at Karma are up for adoption. At any given time, about 10 cats are there ready to play and be adopted. The advantage of the cafe is people can really play with the cats and get to know them before they adopt them, rather than just seeing them in a cage at a shelter.

The cats have all been spayed, neutered and vaccinated. Adoption fees are $35; the cats come from Clare County Animal Shelter and Dalis to the Rescue. So far, 31 cats have been adopted. Beckwith stressed that she will always take back cats who have been adopted if their situation doesn’t work out. Before Beckwith opened the cafe, she owned Redbird Pet Supply for seven years. In addition to selling food and other pet needs, she helped more than 300 cats get adopted out of her store. Beckwith said that was the most fulfilling part of her job. “Retail just wasn’t very fulfilling, it didn’t make me feel good,” Beckwith said. “But I knew adopting out all of those cats made me feel good. I always called it my ‘good karma’ which is where I got the name for the cafe.” Beckwith went to CMU at a time when no apartments allowed

pets. She hopes the cafe will help college students by giving them a relaxing place to hang out with cats without the responsibility of owning them. Eventually, she plans to start a student discount night at the cafe. The cafe also offers group and family rates. $8 for a group of three or more and $28 for a family of four. Once the cafe is more established, Beckwith wants to have punch cards, so frequent customers can earn discounts and free cat time. Although the name is Karma Kat Cafe, it’s not actually a cafe. Beckwith originally had a gourmet coffee bar set up in the main room of the building so people could enjoy a drink before they played with the cats. However, Isabella County doesn’t allow any food or drinks to be prepared on the same premises as animals. Sealed drinks are offered in a cooler of the cafe’s main room, where pet food and other pet needs are available for sale as well.

Right now, Beckwith is attempting to find a cafe or coffee shop downtown to partner with her and sell their food and drink at the cat cafe. That way, the food isn’t prepared at her location but she can still give her customers something to enjoy while they play with the cats. “I really want to partner with people in the community as much as I can,” Beckwith said. “I think this could be a great community center.” A variety of classes are also available at the cafe. Every Monday at 7 p.m., a friend of Beckwiths teaches an astrology class in the cat room. In lieu of payment, she accepts donations of everything from baked goods to succulents. Beckwith has also began hosting catthemed craft classes, a “Yoga With Cats” class and cat-themed game nights. “It’s so hard to make new friends these days,” Beckwith said. “I want to bring people together and cats bring people together.”

A WELL-EARNED WIN

Field hockey overcomes nearly two-year losing streak in win over Saint Louis

efeat. It’s a feeling everyone can relate to. Especially students. Whether you’ve failed a class that you worked your hardest in, didn’t pass an exam you studied all night for or didn’t get the internship you had your heart set on – you know what defeat feels like. Winners are the ones who keep going. Winners keep trying and working toward achieving their goals. On Aug. 26, Central Michigan University’s field hockey team won its game against Saint Louis during a tournament in New York. Not only was it their first win of the season—it was their first win since Sept. 3, 2016. Congratulations, on your victory. You should all be proud of yourselves. We are certainly proud of you, especially knowing you all worked together for it as a team. For driven, competitive athletes it must have been difficult to go so long without a win. You didn’t give up. You stayed positive, kept your focus on the future and worked hard until you got what you wanted. Our congratulations is also extended to new head coach Catherine Ostoich, who helped the team end its losing streak. We look forward to watching where you take the team. “The best part about it is when you look in

EDITORIAL (the players) eyes and they are like, ‘Okay, we’ve got one win. But, we aren’t done yet,’” Ostoich said. Let this win motivate you to win big and achieve more. The field hockey players are our fellow Chippewas. There may not be a tailgate before their game, and it may not receive the same notoriety as football or basketball, but it is a team of Chippewas. Student athletes are busier than most students, adding practices, training and games in addition to class projects, homework and planning for the future. Take some time out of your schedule to get out there and support our field hockey team. Show them your school spirit. Show them that what they are doing matters. The field hockey team will play their first home game of the season at 3 p.m. on Sept. 6. Be sure to go out, support your fellow Chippewas and cheer them on to another win! Fire up Chips!

them on the field – including sitting or kneeling, according to the NFL – will result in a fine. Throughout the past two seasons, an abundance of players have adopted kneeling as a protest against racial inequality and police brutality. “We want people to be respectful of the national anthem,” said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. “We want people to stand – that’s all personnel – and make sure they treat this moment in a respectful fashion. That’s something we think we owe. [But] we were also very sensitive to give players choices.” Kneeling during the national

National Anthem policy meets respectful compromise In sports, politics, business and just about everything else that makes the world go ‘round, there is almost always a winner and a loser. The key word – almost. Throughout the 2016 and 2017 National Football League seasons, there were no real winners or losers amidst the national anthem protests. The NFL was stuck in a rut, as the protesting of players in public and in uniform was clearly negative for fans, sponsors and the media. At the same time, the NFL did not want to force players away from their constitutional freedom of expressing their beliefs. Without claiming a winner or a loser, the NFL owners compromised. On May 24, NFL owners unanimously approved a new policy which requires players to stand for the national anthem if they are on the field before the game. However, the critical loophole is that players have the option to stay in the locker room if they prefer. “Disrespecting” the national an-

anthem was never executed to object the United States military or the flag in general. However, everyone has, and is entitled to, their own personal opinions, and many mistook the directive of the protest. Plain and simple, many fans got the wrong message. Instead of recognizing the protest for what it is, a protest against racial injustice, fans picked up on a false protest against being American. The reason for the new policy is not because Goodell is “sensitive to give players choices.” Rather, it is because the NFL is a business. As a business over anything else, the NFL has to succeed with ratings, please sponsors and fill seats on Sundays at stadiums across the United States in order to continue making money. With consumers in a frenzy regarding the protests, which caused for a financial decline, the NFL had to act fast. So, a compromise was established. During the upcoming 2018 sea-

son, at least one player will most likely choose to kneel during the national anthem, both in public and in uniform, regardless of the consequences. It will make news for a week and fizzle away. There will also be players who never remove themselves from the locker room for the national anthem. In the case of those who do not leave the locker room, the average fan will presumably never notice. However, heads would turn if a multitude of players walked out of the locker room hand-in-hand, arm-around-arm and side-by-side. The NFL owners have successfully found a way to allow players to peacefully protest while helping fans realize the respect the national anthem that has always been present, just unclear at times. Winning and losing is a fundamental part of the NFL and sports in general, but sometimes, a compromise is necessary when business comes to play.

Checking out with Dibs is more of a burden than a convenience At the beginning of Spring semester, the Charles V. Park Library adopted a new system for checking out study rooms: Dibs. Dibs allows students to reserve individual and group study rooms from their phones and laptops over a week in advance. It seemed like a great alternative to the old system: calling the library to find out if a study room was available, making a reservation and going to the checkout desk to pick up a key for the study room. Dibs eliminated my phone anxiety. It also has sparked a much worse stressor. Dibs relies on the honor system, with the hope that students who reserve a room will use their study room for the predetermined amount of time. However, since the study room doors are unlocked, many students work in study rooms they haven’t reserved. CMU Libraries study room policy states that students who haven’t reserved a room may be asked to leave. I’m sure most students are

fine with leaving. However, I, like many others, don’t want to be the ones to ask people to leave. I hate confrontation. For every person who is perfectly fine moving to a different study room, there’s another person who gets angry when asked to leave. I don’t want to find out which type of person is in the room. The burden of making people leave study rooms shouldn’t be left to students. We’re all just trying to get homework done and pass our classes. Library staff shouldn’t have to patrol study rooms either, though. A good way to prevent this issue would be going back to using keys, or perhaps installing keypads with unique codes, so only the person

with the reservation can enter. What’s equally frustrating is being asked to leave a room, whether you have reserved it or not. Sometimes when I’m in a study room, big groups of students will ask to use the room, explaining that they need it more because they have more people. This issue comes from the lack of variety in study rooms. There are a bunch of single-person study rooms and large group study rooms that can seat at least seven people. Most group projects don’t have 10 people in a group, so study rooms that hold 10 plus people aren’t really necessary. Adding some smaller group study rooms for two to five people could eliminate this problem. However, there are some benefits to Dibs. With the online platform, students can see how many rooms are available and can reserve rooms on their computer or mobile devices. Plus, reservations can be made in advance. Dean of Libraries Kathy Irwin said the 2018 Spring semester was

used as an experimental period for Dibs. Changes were made over the summer, such as extending the reservation window from eight to 16 days and increasing the number of simultaneous reservations students can have from one to two. Based on a survey sent to study room users, 76 percent of users liked Dibs compared to the original system, which only 59 percent of users liked. According to the same survey, 80 percent of users knock on the door of study rooms to tell occupants they have a reservation. For the other 20 percent, including myself, getting a study room is a daunting endeavor. Irwin said CMU Libraries does not plan on reverting back to checking out keys, but is looking into other online reservation software. For those who also feel strongly about Dibs or other procedures in the library, Irwin said there are monthly feedback sessions students can attend. Information can be found on the on the library’s webpage at cmich.edu.

To reflect their personal style the Cromars decided not to have a big event for opening day next week.

Ponder Coffee Company, located at 110 E. Broadway St. downtown Mount Pleasant announced on Facebook that its second location on Franklin Street will open Sept. 5. The new building location, which used to house The Dreamer Coffee Shop, located at 1027 S. Franklin St., will make Ponder the only coffee shop in the area directly north of Central Michigan University’s campus, after Kaya Coffee House closed this summer. Kaya closed after a lawsuit was filed against the landlords of the building, by the owners of Kaya, Tim and Jim Otteman. The ongoing litigation leaves Kaya and The Malt Shop closed indefinitely. Ponder, known for its artisan waffles and handcrafted coffee, is owned by alumni Aaron and Christie Cromar. “As people who went to Central, and frequented the coffee shops close to campus, we feel it’s really important to have a local place for students, staff and faculty to go,” Christie Cromar said. “It’s kind of sad that there’s not anything down there right now.”

Over the summer, the Cromars rebranded their coffee shop and products, which was once known as Narrativality, Coffee Roasters and The Coffee Room.

Although the downtown location remains popular, Cromar said it doesn’t really cater to students because they don’t offer late or extended hours.

LOCAL ALDI WILL CLOSE SEPT. 12 FOR MONTH-LONG REMODEL ALDI grocery store, known for its rotating selection of food and home products, will be closed for remodeling Sept. 12 through Oct. 18. The local store, located at 4512 E. Bluegrass Road, has already been under exterior construction for a few weeks. Signs inside the store read “Your new remodeled store features: A brand new look, expanded fresh section and new easy-to-shop store layout.” ALDI stores provides an intimate and inexpensive shopping alternative where shoppers bring their own reusable grocery bags and use quarters to obtain shopping carts. Their products range from fresh produce and household brands to organic and alternative food options. It is unknown at this time what the result of the renovations will be. However, on Aug. 9 ALDI U.S. press release stated that “new store

growth and remodels fuel fresh product expansion.” ALDI is investing more than $5 billion to remodel and expand its store count from 1,800 to 2,500 by the end of 2022, according to the press release. It states that the new store layouts feature additional refrigeration space to “accommodate even more fresh, healthy and convenient products.” “The continued success of our store expansion and remodel initiatives has given us the opportunity to carefully select and introduce new products that satisfy our customers’ increasing

preferences for fresh items, including organic meats, salad bowls, sliced fruits and gourmet cheeses,” said Jason Hart, CEO of ALDI U.S., in the release. “We know people lead busy lives, so we’re making it even easier for them to purchase everything on their shopping list at ALDI, while still saving money.” The company is increasing its fresh food selection by 40 percent, with new items that include more ready-tocook and organic fresh meats, veggie noodles, ready-to-eat sliced fruits, and more vegan and vegetarian options such as kale burgers. In addition, there will be more “convenient” options like grab-andgo and single serve products like vegetable snack packs and refrigerated drinks such as strawberry kefir and kombucha. -Ashley Schafer, Community Editor

Nuisance party ciations increase during calm Welcome Weekend By Mitchell Kukulka Investigative Editor news@cm-life.com

As impossible as it might seem, this year’s Welcome Weekend was even less active than last year’s, and the numbers can prove it. According to a press release from the Mount Pleasant Police Department, the amount of citations and arrests given out for violating city ordinances during Welcome Weekend fell dramatically, with most violations occurring at half the rate as the previous year. The numbers were recorded between the night of Thursday, Aug. 23 and the morning of Sunday, Aug. 26. “(The activity) was well below what we normally would have,” said David VanDyke, MPPD public information officer. “There was one larger party that needed to be broken up, but for the most part people seemed to be abiding by the ‘nuisance gathering’ ordinance, keeping things small and under control.” This year, the MPPD recorded four arrests or citations for disorderly conduct, six for minor in possession, 43 for hosting or attending a nuisance party, 24 for open intoxicants, three for operating under the influence and three for violation of controlled substances. While the occurrence rate for most violations fell by about 50 percent from 2017, some show a larger drop, like MIPs, which fell from 40 in 2017 to six this year, and open intoxicants, falling from 64 to 24. One number that didn’t decrease, but rose

substantially, was the rate of arrests and citations for attending/hosting a nuisance party, which saw 43 violations this year, several times higher than the 12 reported in 2017. VanDyke, who was one of about two-dozen MPPD officers patrolling on Saturday night, credits this to officers focusing more on parties that violate the nuisance gathering ordinance, as the rates for other crimes were down this year. The push for heavier enforcement of disruptive parties comes directly from Mount Pleasant City Manager Nancy Ridley. “We are proud to be home to Central Michigan University — the students are a great asset to our community and the energy and diversity they bring strengthens the city as a whole,” Ridley said in a press release. “The students are also city residents, and all residents are expected to uphold our community standards, which include respecting your neighbors and taking care of each other to ensure Mount Pleasant continues to be a safe and desirable place to live and visit.” The CMUPD also saw a drop in violations since last year, said Lt. Cameron Wassman. Between Thursday and Sunday, CMUPD recorded four arrests or citations for disorderly conduct, three for MIPs and two for violation of controlled substances. One person was arrested for damage to property for kicking side-view mirrors off of cars in Lots 52 and 46 on campus, Wassman said. All violations were down from last year, most noticeably MIPs, which fell from 17 in 2017 to three this year.

FIVE FACTS ABOUT: QUINN XCII, PROGRAM BOARD’S FALL CONCERT PICK

Courtesy photo | Quinn Xcii

Program Board is bringing Michiganborn indie-pop artist Quinn XCII to Central Michigan University to perform for the campus’ first fall concert in four years. The Registered Student Organization announced its decision on its Facebook page on Aug. 25. Quinn XCII will be joined by special guest Ayokay, at 8 p.m., Oct. 26 in McGuirk Arena.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW: • The “XCII” in “Quinn XCII” is pronounced “ninety-two.” It represents 1992, the year the musician was born, in roman numerals. •The musician’s given name is Mikael Temrowski. “Quinn” is an acronym for Quit Unless your Instincts are Never Neglected, a phrase Temrowski learned from a professor while studying at Michigan State University. Temrowski has acknowledged the doublenegative in interviews. •Temrowski has been friends with the concert’s special guest Ayokay since third

grade. Ayokay, whose given name is Alex O’Neill, produced Quinn XCII’s debut EP, “Change of Scenery.” • Temrowski was born and raised in Detroit, and listened to Motown classics growing up. The artist’s Wikipedia page states he’s influenced by Michael Jackson, Chance the Rapper, Kanye West, Jack Johnson and Jon Bellion. • The indie-pop artist performed at the Wayside Central in April 2017. He visited Mount Pleasant, as the final stop on his “One Day at a Time” tour. Concert tickets go on sale at 8 a.m. Sept. 5 on Ticket Central. Program Board predicts on the event’s Facebook page that ticket prices will be between $10$20 but has not confirmed an exact price.

students regardless of class load, and also applies to online and satellite location students. The fee is estimated to earn the university an additional $10 million annual-

ly. The money from the fee will go towards what the board called "additional emphasis" on a variety of student services, such as improving the counseling center.

“I would want it to go toward renovating academic buildings because some of them aren’t in the best shape and those are the things students use everyday.”

“It’s kind of unnecessary because not everybody goes and uses the services. It’s just an extra thing CMU is using to get money from us. They claim they’re not raising tuition but they’re charging a fee that’s technically like raising tuition.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES C

entral Michigan Life’s Evan Petzold spoke with Kentucky beat writer Derek Terry from The Cats Pause on 247Sports to preview CMU’s 3:30 P.M. Sept. 1 season opener against Kentucky. The Wildcats finished the 2017 season with a 7-6 record (4-4 SEC), good for third-best in the East Division. Terry, a graduate of Kentucky, discussed starting quarterback Terry Wilson, star running back Benny Snell Jr. and the offensive line in this exclusive Q&A. What’s the vibe around Kentucky football this year after going 7-6 last season with just two wins over 10 points? Derek Terry: “Outside of the South Carolina and Vanderbilt games, Kentucky never seemed like they were playing super well (last season). The Eastern Kentucky win was an 11-point victory at home against an FCS opponent. People expected more. Eastern Michigan had a chance to win on the final play of the game, which was another at Kroger Field. It was frustrating for the fans. “This year, it’s hard to say. If you look at it, this is (head) coach Mark Stoops’ most talented team since coming to Kentucky (in 2012). There are four or five guys that are can’t miss NFL draft guys. The talent is strong. Last year, the defensive backs had four seniors who gave up the 13th-most passing yards in the SEC. “I think it should be better because a lot of them are All-SEC guys. Fans are waiting to see because the talent is good but you never know.” Terry Wilson was named the starting quarterback by Stoops on Aug. 27. What do you know about him? “Terry is a dual-threat guy. A couple of players and other people say that he legitimately could be the fastest player on the field, not just as a quarterback. He’s going to be able

to help Kentucky in the run game with Benny Snell. In some ways, you could say Kentucky is going to double down on its rush game this year with Terry bringing that extra threat. “From opening practices and the spring game, he has a strong arm but accuracy needs to get better. He threw four touchdowns and no interceptions in the second scrimmage, which was the day where he took control of the job. “For a while, it seemed like Stoops was open to the idea of playing Gunnar Hoak and Terry Wilson but after hearing things this morning, I think the leash is going to be longer for Terry than we originally thought. I was confident that both guys

would play. Maybe Gunnar will get a designed series, but I don’t know. Terry will definitely get his chance to prove himself before Gunnar ever steps on the field.” What makes junior Benny Snell Jr. so dominant as Kentucky’s running back? “It’s cliche, but he runs hard. You can tell the game really matters to him. His durability is very impressive for a running back. Kentucky only played two running backs, which is rare for the SEC. He led the league in carries and yards. Some of the best defenses in the country couldn’t slow him down. “Out of the gate last year, especially against Southern Miss, he was overeager. He wasn’t waiting for the holes to open, so that’d be something to watch on Saturday. There’s no doubt he will be the all-time leading rusher in school history if he returns next year, which I don’t think he will.

“I would watch to see if he’ll be patient and to check the push Kentucky will get up front against Central Michigan. Stopping Benny for four quarters might be tough because I’m sure Kentucky is going to be bigger. If CMU can stop the run, they’ll have to force a new quarterback to beat them through the air.” How much will Kentucky be hurt by losing starting left tackle Landon Young for the season with a knee injury? “For people who don’t know Kentucky football, he was a huge recruit. He was a five-star All-American, ranked No. 3 in his class at offensive tackle. He started nine games over the last two years and came on as a full-time starter in 2017. There’s nobody else on the roster with his experience at that position. “Kentucky has E.J. Price, a transfer from USC at left tackle, Naasir

Watkins and Darian Kinnard to help in his absence. Watkins was a guy they really considered playing before giving him a redshirt. There’s a lot to like with the potential. I don’t know if (Kinnard) will play any left tackle because he’s been working a lot at right guard but he’s a guy you’ll see. The offensive line is the strongest unit on the team, so you can sustain the loss.” How is sophomore defensive end Josh Paschal doing after being diagnosed with malignant melanoma in August? Is there any chance he returns? “It sounds like that’s improving, but if he will be able to play at all this year is still up for debate. He was a guy that they moved to defensive end after he picked Kentucky over Ohio State, Alabama and schools like that. Losing him takes away from the pass-rush up front.” Final score prediction?

How the Chippewas will go 6-6 this season, game-by-game SEPT. 1 AT KENTUCKY WILDCATS UK 31, CMU 7 This one will be a rough opening to the season for the Chippewas offense. Going against an SEC secondary to open the season for the inexperienced Tony Poljan on the road has a recipe for disaster. Multiple turnovers doom CMU and Wildcats rushing leader Benny Snell will wear down the defense with a few scores. SEPT. 8 VS. KANSAS JAYHAWKS CMU 35, KANSAS 10 Last season the Chippewas really came together as an offense in a 45-27 blowout win against Kansas. This year, history repeats itself. Poljan throws for a couple of touchdowns and Jonathan Ward has his first of many breakout games on the ground. SEPT. 15 AT NORTHERN ILLINOIS NIU 31, CMU 14 Another road test is too much for the Chippewas to handle. The Huskies have a good defensive front returning and will shut down CMU’s rushing game. NIU QB Marcus Childress is a playmaker with a good running game, they could very well be the eventual MAC West Champions. SEPT. 22 VS. MAINE BLACK BEARS CMU 31, UMAINE 20 Maine lost FCS rushing leader Josh Mack and offensive coordinator Liam Coen to other schools last spring. Those things alone allow the Chippewa defense to hold them off enough for CMU to score against a weak Black Bear defense. SEPT. 29 AT MICHIGAN STATE MSU 45, CMU 13 The Chippewas have a strong linebacking core led by Malik Fountain and Alex Briones, but this game they will be pushed back. MSU senior tailback L.J. Scott and junior quarterback Brian Lewerke can both use their feet well with Lewerke’s arm also not doing CMU any favors. OCT. 6 VS. BUFFALO BUFFALO 21, CMU 14 The Bulls 6-foot-7 mobile quarterback Tyree Jackson will be a lot to keep up with for the Chippewas defense. Last season the Bulls ran all over CMU in a stormy game. With team-leading tackler Khalil Hodge (154 tackles) returning to stuff the run, last year will prove to not be a fluke. OCT. 13 VS. BALL STATE CMU 38, BSU 10 By this time of the season CMU’s offense should be finding more of a rhythm and

will run over a struggling Cardinals football program. This could be the Chippewas biggest point differential ending with a victory all year.

OCT. 20 VS. WESTERN MICHIGAN WMU 28, CMU 17 Last season John Bonamego had his signature win of the year and arguably his career, against the Broncos. This time, Broncos head coach Tim Lester will earn his first win in the rivalry. Quarterback Jon Wassink missed the last game and was a clear factor in the Chippewas 21 unanswered points comeback. OCT. 27 AT AKRON CMU 24, AKRON 10 The Chippewas get a huge road victory to keep hope alive for a bowl game. The Zips allowed 28 points per game last season and CMU will score points on a defense that looks relatively the same. Ward has his best MAC game with three scores and carries CMU. NOV. 3 AT EMU CMU 35, EMU 31 The Chippewas continue to stay consistent on the road and earn a hard fought win. CMU had to escape last season with an interception to capture a win at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. This year, the defense will stay strong with junior Sean Bunting and the secondary creating turnovers against Iowa transfer Tyler Wiegers. NOV. 10 VS. BOWLING GREEN CMU 20, BGSU 14 The Falcons who have been in rebuild mode will still struggle this season and the Chippewas will take advantage. BGSU quarterback Jarret Doege will struggle against Mitch Stanitzek and CMU’s pass rush. Brandon Childress wins the game on a fourth quarter score. NOV. 23 AT TOLEDO TOLEDO 28, CMU 13 This one is where the team’s luck will run out on the road after winning backto-back road games. Regardless of losing MAC Player of the Year Logan Woodside at quarterback, the Rockets have plenty back to earn a convincing win.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

VOLLEYBALL TO HOST CHIPPEWA INVITATIONAL AS DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Debuting for the first time on their home court this season, the Central Michigan women’s volleyball team is set to host the annual Chippewa Invitational starting Friday in McGuirk Arena. CMU (1-2) will play host to DePaul, Le Salle and Valparaiso in a round-robin style tournament playing each team once over the course of the two-day event. Despite dropping two out of three games against Bryant and UIC last weekend at the UIC Invitational, CMU has the opportunity to win their second straight Chippewa Invitational as the defending champions of its home tournament. Valparaiso enters the weekend with the best early-season record at 3-1, with wins against St. Francis, Iona and Eastern Illinois. Le Salle (1-2) and DePaul (1-1) both have one recorded win in the first weeks of the season, with victories over Morgan State and Northern Illinois, respectively. CMU opens the weekend against Le Salle at 12:30 p.m. and DePaul at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, finishing against Valparaiso at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Last season, the Chippewas earned their

first Mid-American Conference Tournament berth under second-year head coach Mike Gawlik. After former star Jordan Bueter graduated, the team only has two seniors on the 2018 roster. Somewhat because of their youth, the Chippewas were picked to finish third in the MAC West Coaches Poll. Ball State was picked to win the West division. -Anthony Cook, Staff Reporter

FORMER BASKETBALL PLAYER SIGNS TO PLAY PROFESSIONALLY IN MACEDONIA Former Central Michigan men’s basketball forward Luke Meyer is headed to Macedonia to play professionally. Meyer was a post presence for the Chippewas the past four seasons and averaged 7.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game over his career. He started all 133 games he played in, adding 131 blocks for the fourth-most in program history. Last season Meyer helped the Chippewas to a 21-15 finish and a appearance in the Collegeinsider. com Postseason Tournament. Over the 36 games last season, Meyer averaged 9.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, both above his career numbers. Over Meyer’s four years as a Chippewa, CMU finished 77-56 with two MAC West titles and an overall MAC Regular Season Championship. Redshirt sophomore Innocent Nwoko is

the favorite to take over Meyer’s position at CMU. He backed up Meyer last year, playing in 28 games. -Andrew McDonald, Staff Reporter
