Affordability remains an issue in higher ed.

club hockey team dealt five-year suspension

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

By Justin Hicks Sports editor

Editor’s note: This is the fourth story in a series regarding higher education.

The Central Michigan club hockey team received a five-year suspension Friday for violating the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures, according to the Office of Student Life.

The team was charged with a violation of section 3.2.13 (alcohol policy), section 3.2.19 (hazing) and section 3.2.25 (violations by a registered student organization), Tom Idema, assistant director of Student Life said.

“There was a hearing this morning, and the men’s club hockey team at CMU was found in violation of all charges,” Idema said. “As a result, (the team) has been suspended for five years, or until fall 2017.”

Team president Matt Cinader, a senior from Ortonville, and team adviser Robert Gergehl met with Idema and other members of the Office of Student Life Friday morning for the team’s hearing, said senior captain Ricky Jones.

“There were four of us and our faculty adviser, but only the faculty adviser and Matt Cinader went into the hearing,” Jones said. “It lasted about an hour and each side told their side.”

Jones said the team went into the hearing wanting a one-to-two year probationary period, with weekly meetings with the Office of Student Life, community service hours and meetings with the community’s youth to promote abstinence from alcohol and hazing.

“The university proposed a four-year ban, but, somehow, it became a five-year ban after the hearing,” he said. “They said they wanted every person involved in the organization to be gone by the time the team came around again, including the freshmen.”

University officials have high hopes for higher education.

University President George Ross said in an email he believes affordability is mounting pressure on higher education in Michigan and across the nation. He said affordability is a concern for students working to earn their degrees, as well as a concern for universities to maintain costs while offering quality academic programs.

Access, accountability and having more students attain graduation are other pressures facing higher education, he said.

Ross said academic programs have always been driven ultimately by the needs of the society it serves.

He said the recent prioritization of more than 400 programs is evidence that the diversity of programs at Central Michigan University will continue to evolve.

“As we prepare students for meaningful careers and also prepare students to be conscientious and active citizens, the quality of our programs must, and will, remain high at CMU,” he said.

Steven Johnson, vice president for enrollment and student services, said in an email the rising cost of education will mostly impact student choice of educational institution.

“The higher education landscape is becoming more competitive, and many institutions are becoming increasingly aggressive in their efforts to attract prospective students to their institutions,” he said. “More students may also consider attending community college first and then transfer to a four-year institution in order to manage costs.”

It is important for families to start planning for higher education expenses as soon as possible, preferably when the student is still in middle school, Johnson said. Students should also consider on-campus jobs to help offset A HIGHER ED| 5A

Near death Student recovers from serious moped accident

By Charnae Sanders |

Staff Reporter

Picture this: You awaken in an unfamiliar room without any trace of how you got there.

You are lying down on top of a bed looking down at your arm and notice you are wearing a name tag. However, it does not spell out your name. Instead, it reads John Doe.

Leslie senior Danny Fancher shows the location of the accident.

This was the reality of senior Danny Fancher on Memorial Day in 2011.

Awakening in a hospital, the 23-year-old found out he had been in a moped accident and flown to Saginaw Covenant HealthCare Hospital, 700 Cooper Ave. Within the first 18 hours

of riding his new silver 2003 LRX moped, it was believed Fancher collided with another vehicle on Broomfield Street right in front of Celani Hall.

The employees from 7-11, 302 W. Broomfield St., heard the crash and dialed 911.

As the police arrived on the scene, Fancher was 60 feet

JeFFrey SMITH /Staff PhotogRaPheR

away from his vehicle. Covered with road rash and a scab stretching from his face to his neck, the police automatically assumed Fancher was a dead man.

“They think that somebody hit me,” Fancher said. “Maybe a drunk driver, maybe a kid, maybe an elderly person. I

don’t know, but they never ended up finding them or having any real evidence to that. Other than that, it was just plausible. Whatever happened, my moped ended up hitting a light pole.”

Student Government hosting events for Wednesday’s crucial u.S. presidential debate

By John Irwin elections Coordinator

President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will square off in their first debate Wednesday night, and political groups on campus are gearing up for it.

The Student Government Association will be hosting two events during the 9 p.m. debate at two different locations on campus.

One panel at the Towers will feature members of the College Democrats and College Republi-

cans, and another, at the Bovee University Center auditorium, will feature graduate assistants from the College of Communication and Fine Arts.

The political groups and the graduate assistants will be there to spark talk and debate among those in attendance, SGA President Justin Gawronski said.

“They’ll be there to facilitate discussion, make students as informed as possible and take any questions from audience members,” Gawronski said.

Those from the CCFA will

also be conducting research at the UC event.

The SGA will host two events, one in a residential building and another at an academic building, for every debate, including the vice presidential debate Oct. 11 when two discussions will take place in the East Campus residential buildings and in Anspach 161.

Wednesday’s debate will likely be one of the most pivotal moments of the 2012 campaign season.

The debate will center solely

on domestic politics, meaning the still-sluggish economy will be in the spotlight.

College Republicans Chairwoman Megan Gill said the debate could be one of Romney’s last chances to pull ahead of Obama.

“The poll numbers have not been as good as we might have hoped over the past couple weeks,” Gill said. “Anything can happen, but it’s getting down to the wire.”

Romney must successfully tie the economy, the national

debt and other issues to Obama during the debate if he hopes to gain traction from it. Otherwise, it might be difficult (for) him to recover.

Recent polls show support for the president surging nationally and in key swing states like Ohio and Florida in the wake of the Democratic National Convention and Romney’s muchdiscussed claim that 47 percent of voters are “dependent upon government.”

That comment, made at a private five-figure fundraiser,

played right into the Obama campaign’s narrative that Romney is an out-of-touch elitist who is unfit to help the middle class.

Gill said Romney has to take a stand during the debate to win over voters.

“He has to come out with strong stances on the issues and show he can lead on those issues,” Gill said. “He has to be somebody who can energize his base and can reach out to independents.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Proposal 5 would require a two-thirds majority or a public vote to raise taxes

By John Irwin elections Coordinator

Michigan Conservative groups are hoping voters approve the Nov. 6 ballot’s Proposal 5, which would require a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Legislature to raise taxes.

Should the proposal pass, any new taxes, tax base expansion or tax increase would have to pass both the State House of Representatives and the State Senate with a two-thirds majority.

Taxes could also be raised if a majority of voters approve of a proposed tax increase at the polls.

The Michigan Alliance for

Prosperity, the political group behind the proposed amendment, says Proposal 5 would require bipartisan action on taxes.

“This initiative would ensure that one party cannot raise taxes without broad, bi-partisan support and public consensus,” the group says on its website.

“We’ve seen what happens in Washington when one party tries to ram through its agenda on a party-line vote.”

A group of mostly conservative politicians, including Oakland County Sheriff and

2010 Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Bouchard and Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Scotty Boman, backs MAP. “We are taxed too much already,” Bowman said on the group’s site. “Any initiative that makes it harder for politicians (for) raise our taxes is a welcome step in the right direction.”

The group says even the prospect of tax increases holds back Michigan’s economy.

“It’s about having a more stringent legislative requirement on tax increases, because

tax increases can have such farreaching and long-term impact on the state’s taxpayers and economy,” the group says.

For all the group’s talk about bipartisanship, it appears the initiative is driving a wedge between Michigan Republicans.

Gov. Rick Snyder came out against the proposal in a YouTube video released a couple weeks ago, because he says it would lead to gridlock on any tax issue.

“The problem is, when you look at it, things aren’t that simple,” Snyder said. “In many

respects, this could hold us back from reducing taxes in the future, and I’m not talking theory here — I’m talking a very serious situation.”

Snyder said the repeal of the Michigan Business Tax could not have happened under the proposed amendment, because it did not get two-thirds support.

Michigan already has a law in place that requires a threefourths majority in both houses to raise property taxes. metro@cm-life.com

PHOTO OF THE DAY

continued From 1A

“i’ll never get on a bike; i’ll never get on a thing with two wheels again without a helmet.”

Danny Fancher, Leslie senior Fancher realized he wouldn’t have been pinned down with tubes running through his head and a catheter if he had worn a helmet. He had plans on getting a helmet, but he felt because he wasn’t going to be driving 70 mph on the highway, it wasn’t necessary.

“If I had a helmet, I wouldn’t have had any of these injuries,” Fancher said. “The doctor told me I wouldn’t even have had the road rash, because when you’re laying on the ground, the helmet keeps you up a tad bit. The padding on the sides keeps you up.”

Fancher made it out of the hospital in eight days.

Even though several doctors and people dealing with his case said he shouldn’t have made it or he wasn’t supposed to be alive, Fancher proved them wrong and got a second chance at life.

“Dr. (Mark) Adams, Saginaw’s neurosurgeon, actually went home and told his wife and kids that he had lost a patient that day, because he did not think that I was going to make it, the surgery I was in,” Fancher said. “I remember on the eighth day, when I was getting ready to go home, he was crying in the hospital room, because he didn’t know how I (had) even done that.”

RECOVERY

Though Fancher was out of the hospital, he was still in the phase of rehabilitation. Due to having a closed-head injury, Fancher couldn’t drive his car for six months. Brian Wood, Fancher’s older brother, was there for him and helped him with whatever he needed.

“I took two weeks off of a job that I just started,” Wood said. “I didn’t sleep for the first four days. I was

by Danny’s side. The next day, I moved everything from his apartment to his new apartment and back to the hospital and still wasn’t able to sleep. I was pretty nerve wrecked.

“Other than taking a financial hit and being away from my wife and kids, there weren’t any other sacrifices. I did what I needed to do. I was there for my brother, and I took care of what he needed done.”

For Fancher, the most challenging part of this experience was not only having to cope with the fact that he almost lost his life but also putting it back together. Before the accident, Fancher had just gotten a new job and moved into a new apartment.

“I was really angry for a while ... to have all of that taken away from you definitely makes you hold resentment toward life itself,” Fancher said. “I definitely do remember thinking ‘Why? What did I do to deserve this?’”

When asked what would he say to the person that hit him, Fancher replied, “I don’t wish any ill harm on anybody, but I’d take five minutes alone.” However, Fancher feels no resentment against the person who hit him. Even though the suspect was never caught, the person did leave behind a

shirt to put under Fancher’s head and five wrenches lying on the ground near his moped.

“If putting that shirt under my head helped in any way, I’d have to thank them for that,” Fancher said.

“They could’ve hit me and ‘peaced out’ and drove off in the distance.”

From taking a shower and receiving a massive headache to getting inside the car and not being able to turn on the air or heat or even roll down the windows, Fancher had to adjust his lifestyle.

“I just thought, if this was how my life was going to be, my life was over,” Fancher said. “If I couldn’t go to the bathroom on my own, I’d never get to do what I wanted again. Of course, I was in my college mind, I’m never going to get to do this or I’m never going to get to go there.”

Since the accident, Fancher made it his mission to warn people about the dangers of not wearing a helmet. He has gone to several middle schools speaking to kids about the safety of wearing a helmet.

“Every time I pass somebody with no helmet, I yell out the window ‘you should be wearing a helmet,’” Fancher said. “I get a lot of laughs, a lot of people laughing, and they say ‘I don’t need to, it’s not the law.’”

Fancher believes everyone should wear a helmet when riding and, he does not disagree with the Helmet Law in Michigan, though it is their own decision. The law, signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in April, states that wearing a helmet is optional.

“I would be the Smokey Bear of wearing your helmet,” Fancher said. “I would try to encourage people, no matter what the law said, to just wear a helmet. I don’t think that I would ever fight the law, because, as a free citizen, as a human, you have your own right to say yeah I want to ride (with) a helmet or not, and that’s completely fine with me, but I think you just should.”

Fancher said without his support team, he wouldn’t have made it.

“Emotionally afterward, mentally afterward, I was not OK,” he said. “I was furious with the world for awhile. Without them being behind me, I would’ve crumbled,” he said.

Someone that holds a special place in Fancher’s heart that stayed by his side was his girlfriend, Chelsea Simons.

“I knew there was a chance he wouldn’t have woken up,” Simons said. “I tried to keep my hopes up. I knew that he loved me, and I knew that I loved him. I knew that I should just be there for him, no matter what happens.

I knew that he was going through more than what I was. So, I had to be that rock for him.”

Today, Fancher feels fully rehabilitated.

“I’ll never get on a bike.

I’ll never get on a thing with two wheels again without a helmet,” Fancher said. “Not because I think I’m not a good driver ... but because of other people on the road and other variables you don’t think of.”

Mount Pleasant firefighters investigate a fire that engulfed a detached garage, destroying an SUV and other belongings Saturday night on Broadway Street just outside of downtown Mount Pleasant.

CLUB HOCKEY| continued From 1A CMU began investigating the team following a Sept.

14 party at the home of multiple players on Deerfield Road. Photos of the event were posted on players’ Facebook pages, which were presented during the hearing Friday.

Jones said members of the team were present during the party, as well as non-team members, and not every rookie partook in the hazing.

“At the end of the night, police came, but no tickets were warranted, and the police actually commended us on how well we handled it with them and getting everybody out of the house,” Jones said.

Seven police cars arrived on scene, Jones said.

In result of the original temporary suspension, the opening weekend of games against the University of Michigan-Dearborn were cancelled last weekend.

Club hockey can file an appeal, according to the

“We all wrote letters to him personally apologizing, and there were faculty members and members of the community saying we were good people, though those were not brought up during the hearing.”

Ricky Jones, senior captain Code of Student Rights Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures, and Jones said the team plans to.

“We have five business days to file an appeal,” he said. “We don’t plan on giving up. We’re looking into things, but we are going to appeal it.”

Club hockey is one of 42 club sports listed as an RSO through the Office of Student Life at CMU. An RSO can lose its status if an organization has outstanding university debt, fails to follow its constitution or due to campus conduct issues, according to the RSO manual.

Head coach Michael Willett said the situation was “in the student–athletes’ hands,” which Jones said was done upon the players’ request.

The captain said 40

people within the team and community wrote to Idema during the investigation.

“We all wrote letters to him personally apologizing, and there were faculty members and members of the community saying we were good people, though those were not brought up during the hearing,” Jones said.

The team made its name known among Division II teams in 2011 when it reached the American Collegiate Hockey Assocation National Tournament in San Jose, Calif., finishing third in Pool C.

Suicide now the leading cause of mortality

Allergies causing some difficulty in residential restaurants

By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter

Suicide now surpasses motor vehicle crashes as the leading cause of death in the United States.

According to the American Journal of Public Health, suicide surpassed motor vehicle crashes first as a cause of injury morality, followed by poisoning, falls and homicide.

Although it’s been a national trend, Central Michigan University Police Chief Bill Yeagley said the department has not noticed an increase.

“We have not locally noticed that trend here,” he said.

“The poisoning we see most often is alcohol poisoning, and those are kind of seasonal. In the summer, it’s very low; in the fall, during football, our number of alcohol poisoning response increases pretty drastically.”

Deaths related to car crashes decreased by 25 percent. Unintentional poisoning, unintentional falls and suicide have increased by 128 percent, 71 percent and 15 percent, respectively, in the last decade.

The five leading external causes of injury deaths account for more than 80 percent of all deaths, which are divided into motor vehicle traffic crashes, poisoning and falls, as well as two intentional deaths: suicide and homicide.

Yeagley said there have been other drug trends going on throughout the community and across the state, but CMU has not had a big outbreak or an increase yet.

In 2008, drug overdoses made up 75 percent of unintentional poisoning deaths, with prescription drugs representing 74 percent. In 2009 and 2010, 71 percent of people 12 or older reported using pain relievers non-medically over the past 12 months.

For high school and college-aged students, poisoning deaths have nearly tripled over the past decade. In 2000, almost five percent of deaths were attributed to unintentional poisoning, and in 2009, that number jumped to nearly 14 percent for people between the ages of 15 and 24.

On top of poisoning mortality rates comes the increase of suicide rates. Over the past decade, suicide rose 15 percent overall. It’s jumped nearly three percent for high school and college-aged students, claiming nearly 20 percent of their deaths.

However, like poisoning, over the past decade, the CMU Police Department has remained fairly consistent when it comes to suicide, Yeagley said.

“Fortunately, for us on campus, poisoning, suicide and death in general is extremely rare, and we’re glad,” he said.

“One is too many.”

While unintentional poisoning, unintentional falls and suicide have been on the rise, unintentional death through motor vehicle traffic crash has declined 25 percent. metro@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University students with food allergies might have trouble finding accommodations in the residential restaurants.

Andrea Henk, a Mount Clemens junior, has a variety of allergies she takes into consideration when eating.

Being lactose intolerant, which prohibits her from consuming dairy products, and also allergic to foods with gluten, a protein found in a variety of wheat products, Henk finds her options in residence halls limited.

“I can’t have flour. I have to have rice flour,” Henk said. “There are so many types of cereal I can’t have.

I can no longer eat many of my favorite things. I can’t have pizza. I can’t have Pop-Tarts. I really miss Pop-Tarts.”

Henk said often she finds cafeterias do not have any options available to her on the menu.

‘A big deal’ B.o.B, New Boyz draw more than 3,000 to McGuirk Friday night

By Melissa Beachamp | Senior Reporter

Check out a photo gallery of Saturday night’s concert on cm-life.com Fans from all around said they “never had it so good” watching B.o.B and New Boyz perform Friday at McGuirk Arena in a crowd of more than 3,000 people.

The event came with a $75,000 price tag to bring in the hip-hop artists, Program Board Adviser Damon Brown said.

The doors for McGuirk Arena opened at 7 p.m., and around 200 people stood in line in hopes of a front-row seat to the show.

A group of five friends arrived at the Events Center around 4 p.m. and were first in line to ensure their front row spot, Watervliet junior Eric Phillips said.

The big-time fans were the first to purchase tickets at 8 a.m. when they went on sale to faculty and staff Sept. 5, Phillips said.

The group counted down the minutes and eagerly anticipated the hip-hop artists’ performance, but Phillips had something more to be excited about.

His friend won meetand-greet tickets from a Facebook contest, and he was the lucky recipient, he said. “(B.o.B) is actually a completely genuine guy, and it was an awesome experience,” he said. “I couldn’t have asked for a better night.”

Phillips saw B.o.B in concert before and said their performance was “epic.”

Phillip’s friend, Union City junior Austin Herman, said a well-known hip-hop artist coming to Central Michigan University is an opportunity he didn’t want to miss.

“It’s a big deal,” he said.

Standing a rows behind Phillips was a group celebrating a friend’s 18th birthday.

“It’s a good way to spend my birthday,” Ravenna freshman Calvin Vanderwal said.

His friend, Holland junior Josh Gillet, said the concert will be one of the best Friday nights he will have this year at CMU. “Although it’s not Justin Bieber, I’m super excited,” he said.

Mason Mitchell took the 2.5-hour drive from Garden City to see B.o.B. He said he listened to the artist years before he got big about four years ago.

“Gosh, (B.o.B) is so good,” he said.

Mitchell said the night started off slow, but it picked up.

“Even though there’s not

a party yet, we are bringing the party,” he said around 8 p.m.

The party started as soon as New Boyz took the stage around 8:15 p.m., Mitchell said.

But the duo was not complete as one of the members, Dominic “Legacy” Thomas, had a family issue. Earl “Ben J” Benjamin performed solo for most of the band’s allotted time.

A fan from Hastings, Dallas McKay, said she specifically came to see New Boyz.

“I’m a little disappointed,” she said.

The crowd broke out into random chants when the performance experienced technical difficulties for about 15 minutes following B.o.B’s two-minute introduction.

“I got that ATL speakers; this beat couldn’t handle me,” B.o.B said when the power came back on stage.

B.o.B performed “Bombs Away” with his red pants, combat boots and vest and concluded the night with “So Good” ... shirtless.

RSOs largely untouched by new state law

By Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

Registered student organizations on campus find themselves largely untouched by a new Michigan law that prohibits political RSOs from using university funds to endorse a political candidate.

Section 1 of Public Act 31 of 2012 states: “It is the policy of this state that a public body shall maintain strict neutrality in each election and that a public body or a person acting on behalf of a public body shall not attempt to influence the outcome of an election held in the state.”

The law, which was passed this summer, could limit political organizations’ election season activities, since the university is publicly funded and recognized as a public body.

RSOs find themselves unable to provide any materials, facilities of monetary value or services to any candidate using university funding.

Still, Central Michigan University’s political organizations find themselves largely unaffected by the law.

Spectators sign last steel beam put in place for graduate housing project

By Tony Wittkowski Staff Reporter

More than 40 spectators were part of history as the last beam was placed on the graduate student housing complex Friday morning.

The ceremony accompanying the last beam’s placement is called a Topping Out Ceremony, which is a Scandinavian tradition where placing a tree atop a new building represents growth and is used to bring good luck to the structure. Audience members had an opportunity to autograph the final beam before it was raised and put into place.

“It’s ceremonial, and was also put on to thank (everybody) for all their hard work,” said Joan

Schmidt, associate director of Residence Life.

After the last beam was put into place, a live tree, as well as flags from residence life, Central Michigan University, the state of Michigan and the United States, were placed on top of the building. The tree represents a sacrifice to the gods for any trees that were destroyed in the building process, Schmidt said.

Schmidt originally got the idea for the Scandinavian tradition on Facebook when Bridgewater State University did it.

Surprisingly, the construction workers had heard of it before.

“These guys were very helpful in the process,” Schmidt said. “Plus, they had heard of

this before.”

Ithaca sophomore Mike Lehner and his fiancée Mary Murphy, an Alma sophomore, were in attendance.

Lehner and Murphy are apartment supervisors at Northwest Apartments and were invited through work.

“We were emailed about the beam, and, since we are part of the apartment community, we decided to come out,” Lehner said.

Lehner helped Brianna, his 17-month-old daughter, sign the beam as well.

“I think it’s great,” Lehner said. “She’ll be able to say for years to come that she was part of this building.”

One of the last people to sign

the beam before it was placed was Robinson Residential Hall Director Bridget Dunigan.

“My signature is unreadable, so I had to make a second one that people could read,” she said.

Dunigan said she went to the ceremony to support her department.

“It’s amazing to be part of a tradition and to come back as an alumnus and see this,” she said.

The housing project cost approximately $28.5 million and construction began in late 2011.

It is located on north campus along Bellows Street, and, when finished, it will be 94-unit facility. university@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | Major differences between student-athletes, regular students

Darnell Gardner Jr. Columnist

The student’s dilemma It’s election season again, but if you were to check the pulse of the average college student, you likely wouldn’t feel the same buoyant rhythm of four years ago.

Instead, you’d find a tepid tremble, if anything at all.

In less than one election cycle, student enthusiasm for politics has plummeted.

A friend poked his head out of the miasmic doldrums for a brief moment to offer up this telling thought: “No matter who wins this election,” he said. “We lose.”

He said he’s considering voting for Mickey Mouse this time around or, “even worse, the Green Party candidate.”

This friend of mine is a college student.

His apathy is understandable.

Data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows about 53 percent of bachelor’s degreeholders under the age of 25 are either jobless or underemployed.

Even if most college students aren’t familiar with that particular statistic, any one of us could name a recently graduated friend who has taken up a dead-end job just to make a few frayed ends meet.

If you ask most college students why they’re in school, they’ll tell you they want the increased job security a college degree is said to confer.

The idea of pursuing higher education for its own sake is slipping into antiquity, and, in some circles, it’s already completely unheard of.

All that would be fine, I suppose, if investing in college still yielded the desired result –gainful employment. As the data shows, it does not.

Students talk of going to graduate or law school, figuring advanced degrees are the surest way to make their investment in education pay off. As droves of jobless law school grads will tell you, even advanced degrees aren’t guaranteed to give you an edge anymore.

The idea of quitting school and tossing away years of study and thousands of dollars is nauseating once you’re already enrolled in college. So, naturally, students dig their heels into the ground and stick it out, even if that means accruing frightening sums of student loan debt.

This is the college student’s dilemma, and it looms ominous over campuses nationwide.

President Barack Obama wooed students four years ago by transmuting their hostility toward politics into hope for better governance.

Since taking office, Obama’s leadership has led to notable gains for college students, despite falling short of expectations in other arenas.

Obama has fast-tracked congressional provisions lowering monthly payments on student loans and improving on debt forgiveness policies.

He also expanded the reach of the Pell Grant program, reducing the financial burden on low-income and middle-class students.

Mitt Romney, if elected, would work to see this progress reversed.

Polling shows the majority of college students still believe Obama can represent their financial interests and social values better than a Republican president.

To win, Obama must rekindle the excitement students had for his campaign years ago. To do that, he’ll have to remind them that despite what dismal employment numbers suggest, he still has students’ best interests at heart.

There’s little over a month left before Election Day. The clock is ticking.

A fair punishment?

T

he difference between students paying a tuition bill and those on athletic scholarships shows through.

On Friday, the Office of Student Life handed down a swift,

serious blow to the CMU club hockey team, issuing a monumental five-year ban for hazing following a recent team party.

Tom Idema, assistant director of Student Life, said the team was charged with being in violation of sections 3.2.13 (alcohol policy), 3.2.19 (hazing) and 3.2.25 (violations of an RSO) of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities and Disciplinary Procedures and suspended from play until the fall 2017 semester.

In recent years, athletes competing on scholarship from CMU have found themselves in the police and court systems on charges of manufacturing and selling drugs, theft, domestic abuse and driving under the influence, to name a few incidents.

Such athletes served various suspensions, from being held out of a limited

number of games, to being completely removed from their programs.

It’s interesting that those athletes who made irresponsible decisions off the field were punished, yet their teams remained afloat.

It’s concerning that as soon as an RSO holds a party that got reckless and out of control that they are given the death penalty, meanwhile, some student athletes get into trouble and their programs are unaffected.

This sends the message to students that student-athletes with NCAA ties are treated differently.

If hockey played in the NCAA-level at CMU, you could certainly bet they wouldn’t be facing a five-year ban from

competing. Maybe there would be suspensions, maybe even a few people released from the program, but the death penalty for five years?

No way.

This isn’t meant to justify what the club hockey team did at all. Maybe there is more to this story that hasn’t been revealed.

But a five-year ban on club hockey comes across as a knee-jerk reaction by the Office of Student Life for a firsttime offense and isn’t sitting well with a lot of students and alumni.

According to team captain Ricky Jones, seven police cars arrived on scene to break up the party, though zero tickets were reportedly handed out. The recent party doesn’t seem to compare to some of the more severe cases that have popped up at CMU in the last decade.

It all comes down to this: Would this have happened if the club hockey team had students on athletic scholarships; would they receive a five-year ban?

GMOs should be labeled in foods When companies like Monsanto spend $7.1 million so that consumers cannot tell if products they purchase contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs), people tend to take notice.

Some are even comparing the big issue of labeling GMOs to the past battle with big tobacco giants.

On Nov. 6, California will vote to show the rest of the country what they think about labeling GMOs, and it will set the precedent for the rest of the country.

Currently, products containing GMOs are not labeled, and here I am not debating the safety ... or rather untested safety of these products, I am debating the lack of labeling for consumer choice.

America is one of the very few to not label GMOs. Around 50 other coun-

E-mail | editor@cm-life.com Mail | 436 Moore Hal Mount Pleasant, MI 48859 Fax | 989.774.7805

tries either restrict or ban GMOs. Russia, Brazil, India and China are among many others who require labeling. The U.S. and Canada are two of the very select few industrialized countries to give into these large companie’s wishes of anonymous GMO usage.

Currently, 93 percent of all soy products in America are GMO, and the only way as it now stands to knowingly purchase non-GMO as a consumer is to buy organic. For some, this is not a feasible option.

Polls show that 90 percent of Americans want labeling so that they can choose. So why have similar propositions failed in 11 other states? Money.

One reason is they don’t want to have to change, and companies are afraid consumers won’t want to buy their products if they see what it contains.

So much so that companies like DuPont, PepsiCo, Dow Agroscience, Nestle, Coca-Cola, ConAgra, Kellogg, General Mills, Hershey, J.M. Smucker, Hormel and Ocean Spray Cranberries spent (and continue to spend) millions of dollars against labeling.

Even brands most associated with being healthy such as Kashi and Silk are part of the force keeping GMOs unlabeled.

I polled more than 100 CMU students passing through the Park Library among other places, and the majority wanted GMOs labeled whether they agreed with or even understood them.

They wanted that choice. Out of 108 students, 83 wanted labeling, four said no to labeling and 21 said they didn’t care.

Even if you are worried from a

business aspect, it is in the essence of a capitalist business to give consumers what they want, and companies like Coca-Cola have been adapting for years. They originally had sugar, and then they started using high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in 1985, which is man-made in a laboratory. They used this in addition to sugar. They changed their product to suit the increasing (and addicted) sweet tooth of its consumers.

Now, many products like Sprite are reverting back to only sugar as many customers are wanting different products without HFC. How is this any different? If the companies want to serve their customers, and their customers don’t want GMOs, then it’s their job to go back to the drawing board and give a product that the customers do want, not hide what’s in it. We have the right to know and choose.

Another aspect of some of the GMO products is their tendency to be invasive. Monsanto is one of the large companies some people, especially farmers, are familiar with. Monsanto has been known to sue farmers when Monsanto’s GMO seed, which contaminates the farmers crops, and then Monsanto says the farmers are breaching patent on life. They hold a patent on life. Even the environmental implications in this are cause enough to take notice. To top it off, companies like Monsanto are seeking less regulations.

So whether you agree or disagree with GMOs, don’t you want the right to know and the right to choose which products you spend your money on?

Running away doesn’t work The 1922 German horror film Nosferatu begins with possibly one the most iconic quotes in movie history, where the hometown mad man approaches our hero Jonathan Harker and dramatically proclaims “Wait young man, you can’t escape destiny by running away!”.

All right, I admit it. The quote isn’t iconic at all. Not to mention people couldn’t act in the 1920s. They just ran around $15 cardboard Hollywood sets and pretended they were making a movie.

That’s not the point, though.

The point is the quote is a wonderful recognition of the fact that we have to face our hardships and overcome them.

You can’t escape by just running away.

But I think I can.

My junior year of college is already tearing me down.

Deadlines for Central Michigan Life, classes, internships, leases and academics are piled so high that I can no longer pretend that they’re just not there.

Not to mention all happiness probably consists of delusion — and my bathroom flooded last Sunday.

It’s enough for me to take my crummy 1995 Ford Taurus and drive it at 95 miles per hour off a cliff, plummeting it hood-first into the ragged rocks below where the car probably wouldn’t explode. Because that only happens in the movies.

No, fairly distressed reader, I’m not talking about suicide.

I’m talking about pulling off the greatest feat known to man since Hayden Christensen got through all-three Star Wars prequels without getting canned.

After seriously considering it for a little more than 15 minutes, I have decided that I’m going to fake my own death.

It would be pretty simple.

My “body” would roll out of the car into a conveniently placed pool of white water rapids, which will carry my corpse into a large pool of water, where rescue workers will work day and night trying to find a body that isn’t there.

Little did anyone know that I expertly jumped out of the car at the last second, into a conveniently placed grove of bushes and walked away from the tragic scene unharmed.

At which point, I would do all the things you want to do but can’t because you have a life. I would drink a 144-pack of beer while watching every Star Trek episode in a row. I would travel the world, hold a public debate with the Dalai Lama on why men shouldn’t wear towels, sky dive off the Eiffel Tower, go down Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Or, even more impressive, I’ll go up Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Because hell, you only live once. Oops, I mean twice.

Then there would be the act of attending my own funeral.

A funeral is where you find out who you really are, the local legend who stuffs the church with enough grieving individuals to fill a Nicholas Sparks novel, or more probably, the poor soul whose family attends the funeral, and that’s it.

But fair warning: There will be an additional participant at my funeral, and that will be me.

And I’ll be checking names. I’ll know who my real friends are.

And if you don’t attend, don’t be surprised to find your own bathroom flooded. That would be me as well. I accidentally turned your shower head on, and pointed it at your bathroom floor.

Moral of the column: When I die, don’t grieve. For I’ll be in heaven.

And I don’t mean the afterlife. I mean I’m going to be in Hawaii, sipping on margaritas and checking out babes in bikinis.

Because there are only two ways to solve an existential crisis. Alcoholic beverages and bikinis.

800 gather at Island Park for ‘Into the Light’ cancer awareness walk, raise $23,000

By Laura DuCharme Staff Reporter and Adam Niemi Senior Reporter

Luminaries filled Island Park Friday night at the 14th-annual “Into the Light” cancer awareness walking event.

More than 800 gathered to honor and remember those who have been affected by cancer in Isabella County.

Margaret Steslicki is a 14year organizer on the planning committee for the event. She is also a 22-year survivor of myelodysplastic syndrome, a blood-related disease.

“When I was diagnosed, they said I had a year to live,” Steslicki said. “I had kids three and six years old at the time. I didn’t know if I would see them grow up.”

Steslicki said near the end of the event, more than $23,000 was raised, and final calculations won’t be available for a few weeks.

“I hope that it helps to uplift them and inspire them to keep fighting,” Steslicki said about cancer patients that are affected by the fundraising.

Central Michigan University

President George Ross is a fiveyear survivor of leukemia. Ross said he quickly became sick with the disease and remembers he woke up one day with purple spots on his skin. He was bleeding internally.

“I became ill within a couple days,” Ross said. “It came that quick.”

Ross underwent a yearand-a-half of chemotherapy treatment. Weeks went by when he received daily blood transfusions. He remembered his daughter watching the blood being pumped into him, and she decided to give blood.

She still donates.

“I was proud of her to give her blood and help people she never met,” Ross said.

Ross said it was his first time at the event and felt encouraged by it.

“It’s a grace of God that the survivors are here,” Ross said.

Many attendees walked along a trail of luminaries reading names of the survivors and those who have died from cancer.

“You always recognize names on the luminaries,” said Charlie Kiel, a Lake Isabella resident. “I lost my first wife and mom to

cancer. My cousin is a survivor.

A lot of neighbors and friends have cancer.”

Cancer survivors also brought friends and family for support. Sue Kennedy of Winn was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002 and had a doublemastectomy two years ago.

Kennedy had friends with her while walking the trail, and they were very enthusiastic about the event. She has since found out she was cancer-free.

Many people have participated in this event for many years. Cheryl Collins, a Remus resident, has been participating for nine years. Kennedy has been coming the last three years. Richardson has been coming for about the last 10 years, and Kiel has been coming since it started.

After the speakers, the cancer survivors at the event got into a circle, held hands and sang “This Little Light of Mine.” Any family members of the survivors were encouraged to put their hand on their shoulder to show they still support them.

The survivors then took a lap around the trail together. metro@cm-life.com

Oktoberfest celebrates German culture

By Adam Niemi Senior Reporter

Laren Avery watched a bartender fill a cup with foam and, knowing the keg was out, set his own beer down to retrieve a full keg.

Avery rolled the full 160-pound keg to the bartender.

“One Oktoberfest coming in,” he said loudly so that others would not get in the way.

Avery, a 2010 Central Michigan alum and brewmaster at Mount Pleasant Brewing Company, 614 W. Pickard St., said the festival is a simple re-creation of the German tradition.

“We want to mimic the tradition and bring the community together,” he said, taking a drink of his beer.

He looked out at other people in the large tent behind Mountain Town Station, 506 W. Broadway St. “It’s a festival to celebrate great beer, great times and great friends,” he said. “We’ll throw good food in there, too.”

A handful of local businesses worked together to improve upon a new Mount Pleasant

HIGHER ED | continued from 1A day-to-day costs and gain additional work experience, he said.

Johnson said the CMU administration recognizes costs are a major consideration for students when choosing a university. Administrators are taking seriously the importance of ensuring education access to all interested individuals, he said.

“CMU remains committed to keeping costs at a manageable level, creating financial aid programs that reward outstanding achievement and that help students who need it,” he said.

CMU has had the lowest cumulative tuition increase of all state universities in the past three years, Johnson said.

CMU’s need-based scholarships have nearly doubled to more than $10.6 million, and merit-based scholarships have risen from $19 million to $25 million in the past three years.

Jim McDonald, Academic Senate chairman and Shared Governance Committee cochair, said higher education doesn’t need to necessarily change how instruction is done but how it is paid for. He said things will just have to be done more efficiently and wellthought-out.

“Costs need to be contained,” he said. “We can’t just keep passing things along to students.”

McDonald said he doesn’t think economics need to get in the way of CMU focusing on its students. He said CMU attracts students who are motivated and dedicated, including many who are first-generation college students. Hopefully CMU will continue to be an institution that is student-centered and appreciative of its faculty, he said.

“We can’t lose sight of that,” he said.

Ross said CMU has an academic culture that focuses on the success of students.

“We stand well and stand tall,” he said. “We have the finest faculty in the state, along

autumn tradition: the second Oktoberfest.

The festival was held last weekend in a large tent behind Mountain Town. Last year, it was held at Mount Pleasant Brewing Company for one night.

Mountain Town Station manager Erik Bliss said a lot of help from local businesses contributed to the weekendlong event.

“There’s a lot of local businesses that provided help,” Mountain Town manager Erik Bliss said. “We learned a lot from last year.”

The tent behind Mountain Town Station was decorated with white and blue streamers, the official colors of the German Oktoberfest, a 16-day celebration of beer at the end of September and beginning of October held each year since 1810.

Bliss said he expected at least 300 people per night and 600 people throughout the weekend.

Smith and Sons, 5080 E. Broadway St., provided specially made bratwurst made

with a recipe involving Mount Pleasant Brewing Company’s Oktoberfest lager. Bliss said the bratwurst was available only at the festival. B’s Music Shop, 613 N. Mission St., provided sound.

Two bands, the Millbillies and Highway Salute, played at the festival. Bliss said they were welcome to play their own selection of covers and original music but also asked that they play some polka, the traditional music at Oktoberfest.

The only beer that was allowed to be served at the German Oktoberfest is beer that is, at minimum, six-percent alcohol and brewed within the city limits of Munich. The only beer that was served at the Mount Pleasant Oktoberfest was beer that was brewed at Mount Pleasant Brewing Company, which is within city limits.

“This is more true to the Oktoberfest style,” said Doug Bellinger, a two-year employee of Mount Pleasant Brewing Company. “I feel like we’ve already had a better turnout than last year.”

with an excellent support staff, bright and energetic students and academic programs that are academically recognized nationally.”

The academic programs that are offered are going to have to be constructed in such a way that prepares students for their career demands, McDonald said. As a university, CMU has to be sensitive to new technological skills that employers are looking for in students and pass that along to courses, he said.

“You should have good quality programs, but you should also meet the need for courses that students want to take,” he said.

McDonald said CMU’s use of technology is cutting-edge, and the university is headed in the right direction with instruction.

“In some aspects, I think we’re in front of what other people are doing,” he said.

Johnson said CMU has tremendous strengths that rank it at the top of the state and the nation, including biology, health, business and teacher education programs. He said the university continues to reinforce and expand its strengths through academic prioritization.

“CMU is on a playing field with the very best universities in Michigan,” he said. “Year after year, we actively cement our position as the university of choice for thousands of students.”

Johnson said he expects to see growth in the number of interdisciplinary programs offered by both public and private institutions. He said students are working with faculty to combine once contrasting courses to provide new learning outcomes.

There is a national trend toward hybrid learning where students are choosing classes with an online component, as technology is becoming a greater factor in education delivery, Johnson said. Cocurricular activities are also being viewed as a pivotal part of the education experience.

“The out-of-classroom experiences often complement the classroom learning

objectives,” he said.

In a perfect world, Ross said he would like to see higher education among the higher priorities of the state and the nation.

As a top priority, increased funding would be beneficial for universities, he said.

McDonald said he would like to see more communication among deans, faculty, administrators and students in the future. He said the decision process should be more inclusive, because all of CMU is affected by issues concerning budgets and programs.

“I think the way the decisions are made will have to change. It needs to be more of a collaborative process,” he said. “The top-down model simply doesn’t work anymore.”

First Banned Books Week starts today

By Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

The Riecker Literary Series, the Department of English Language and Literature and the Veterans Memorial Library are hosting Banned Books Week starting today at Central Michigan University.

The week will feature a number of events that promote awareness about the ongoing censorship and banning of books in the United States.

The event is sponsored by a number of institutions nationwide, including the American Library Association, the Freedom to Read Foundation and the National Council of Teachers of English. Although this year marks the events’ 30-year anniversary, this is the first time CMU has participated in the event.

A kickoff event will be hosted outside of the Bovee University Center at 11 a.m.

The event will explore the process of banning a book from a public classroom or library through a mock school board drama.

On Tuesday, multiple

readouts will be held across campus, where students will read excerpts from banned books in public.

At 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, a panel discussion in Moore Hall’s Kiva about the current culture of censorship will be held. On Thursday night, the documentary “Born to Trouble: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” will be screened in the Park Library Auditorium. The documentary portrays the tumultuous history Mark Twain’s novel has faced due to censorship.

Fifth-annual Midwest Fest brings 26 bands, some from out-of-state

Sigma Chi Fraternity hosting Derby Days fundraising competition starting Sunday

By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

By Charnae Sanders Staff Reporter

Music from Laura K. Balke filled the stage Thursday evening at Kaya Coffee House, 1029 S. University Ave. The artist, from Illinois, was one of three out-of-state artists scheduled to perform at the fifth annual Midwest Fest.

“I wish I could stay longer,” the 27-year-old Kansas City native said.

Balke performs everywhere from coffee shops to bars and house shows, she said.

The five-night festival, featuring 26 bands, began Tuesday and ended Saturday.

Ryan Hoger, guitar player of Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers, was at Kaya Coffee House Thursday with his band to support Midwest Fest artists.

“I haven’t heard (Balke) before, but I quite enjoy it,” he said. “Her record is impressive with all of its creative details.”

He said her “folk, chilled-out style” is something refreshing to Midwest Fest.

Hoger and his band played Friday night at Rubbles, 122 W. Michigan St., with a crowd of about 50 people.

Brighton senior Andrew Price said Midwest Fest brings talented artists to Mount Pleasant.

“I look forward to it,” he said. “I plan on going all of the

The residence hall restaurants do offer students an ability to add their name to a list and have meals specially made for them. Henk said she wasn’t alerted about the list until the end of last year.

“I didn’t know they even had a sign-up sheet,” Henk said. “One of my friends who

nights.”

Price said he enjoyed Gun Lake and the Hard Lessons, who concluded the festival Saturday evening at Rubbles.

The Dozens, a Chicago band, was scheduled to perform Wednesday evening but canceled because of food illness.

A Midland band, Killer Kong, opened Wednesday night with their rock-and-roll style.

“Rubbles is a nice place,” band member Jesse Aho said.

“It’s fun, and there’s a good amount of people.”

Detroit-based Deastro also played five songs at Rubbles Wednesday night.

“I feel like I’m coming home,” band member Randi

Shibo said.

The Kickback, a band of brothers from Chicago, performed at Rubbles bar Friday night.

“Midwest Fest is an opportunity to bring local artists to light, while listening to talent from out of state,” Traverse City senior Collin Hall said. “The variety brings many different crowds.”

Midland senior Jason Stafford said he came for the festival and hadn’t heard of most of the bands performing.

“I enjoyed it,” Stafford said.

worked at the cafeteria said something to me at the end of last year, but it was too late then.”

Henk said it’s crucial the cafeterias do a better job communicating with students about food options.

“They should have put a greater effort into letting students know about that signup sheet,” Henk said. “I don’t know anyone but the workers who know that sheet exists.”

Heidi Klebs, menu information systems administer for Campus Dining, said residential restaurants have solutions in place for individuals with special dietary needs. Klebs said each of the residential restaurants feature a communication station just inside

the entrance, which supplies students with educational material, including a special dietary needs flyer.

She said Campus Dining can also supply one-on-one menu consultations upon request. In addition, Klebs said cross-contamination has also been taken into account. “(At the) Fresh Food Company in East Area, if an individual requests a meal at the Mongolian station be prepared vegetarian or separately for a food allergy, a separate induction burner is used with separate pans to prepare the meals,” Klebs said. “Likewise, at the new Mongolian Grill at RFoC in the Towers, if an individual makes that same request, a separate sauté pan is

RSO | CONTINUED FROM 3A College Republicans Chairwoman Megan Gill said the majority of her RSO funds come from private sources, and therefore their programs will go forward unaffected.

“We’re actually really lucky to work with public entities throughout the community,” Gill said. “The majority of what we do is grassroots campaign-

used on top of the Mongolian grill to prevent cross contamination.”

Another problem Henk faces in eating in the cafeteria is often the workspace where food is prepared is contaminated with food from a previous meal that she is allergic to.

“I would’ve went to a section, and it would have been contaminated from before,” Henk said. “If that’s the case, I would of been sick the entire next day.”

Harper Woods sophomore Shontasia Bass cannot eat red meat or pork due to medical concerns.

“Over the years, there has been plenty of days where I had to eat salads and grilled cheese sandwiches since the cafeteria doesn’t have many vegetar-

John Huntsman, who was a Sigma Chi member.

“It’s just a really good cause,” Peterek said.

“Everyone is affected by cancer, and we try to do our part and give to the cancer institute.”

Although intended for sorority members to participate in the events, non-sorority members can also participate.

“At the end of Derby Days, a champion will be announced,” said Clay McAndrews, Derby Days chairman. “The sorority with the highest total amount of points from winning and participating in the week’s events will be

ing, and we gain a lot of our funds through those efforts.”

Gill said when political figures come to CMU to campaign, they usually pay to come here and therefore do not require any university funds.

Although the College Republicans did help fund Herman Cain’s stop at CMU, his speech focused on the economy and did not specifically endorse any candidate.

The majority of political RSOs on campus avoid endorsing a specific candidate due to group policy. The presidents

of the student organizations of Students for Concealed Carry and Voices For Planned Parenthood said their groups are focused on issues and not any one party or candidate.

Hopkins sophomore Ken Castello, president of Students For Sensible Drug Policy, said his RSO isn’t allowed to endorse any candidate due to its national branch’s policy.

“The whole idea is that we don’t want to scare a student off,” Castello said.

ian options,” Bass said. “Yes, I can order meals specially, but because of my busy schedule, I find this more of an inconvenience because I have to wait for the staff to go get new pots and pans and make my food separately.”

Bass said she found several on-campus cafeterias more accommodating than others.

Fresh Food on Campus often prepares a pot on the side for Bass and has also been actively trying to extend its vegetarian options.

“Once I was in the RFoC and I asked one of the workers if there were any vegetarian meals that day, and she told me that the sides might be vegetarian,” Bass said. “Sides are not a meal.”

Klebs said residential restaurants’ menus will continue to evolve and soon begin offering more vegetarian options.

Bass said the cafeterias are trying to improve, but she said more improvements could be made.

“I feel like the cafeterias still could do a lot more work with having options for everyone who might have allergies,” Bass said. “I have a friend that is diabetic and usually can’t eat in the cafeteria. And several friends are gluten intolerant, and they often complain about the lack of gluten-free options. There are more than just lactose intolerant and peanut allergies.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Ryan Radcliff ’s season-high 332 passing yards were not enough to propel the football team to victory

Central Michigan lost to Northern Illinois 55-24, falling to 0-1 in MidAmerican Conference play.

“I thought their offense executed very well, and we obviously didn’t play very well on defense,” head coach Dan Enos said. “I thought their offensive line, their quarterback and their running backs were the difference in the game.”

The win extended NIU’s home win-streak to 18 games.

CMU (2-2) had an opportunity to take the lead midway through the third quarter, but receiver Titus Davis dropped a pass that would have been a touch-

down.

During the same drive, Radcliff threw an interception, and NIU began to pull away.

The Huskies (4-1) capitalized on the turnover with a nine-yard touchdown run by quarterback Jordan Lynch, putting NIU up 34-21.

“That’s the difference in the game when you play against an offense like that,” Enos said.

Lynch finished the day with 215 passing yards and 144 rushing yards.

By Ryan Zuke | Staff Reporter

Saturday in DeKalb, Ill.

It has been smooth sailing this past week for the Central Michigan volleyball team.

The Chippewas swept Kent State Saturday after sweeping rival Eastern Michigan Thursday.

“Sweeping Eastern was huge,” head coach Erik Olson said. “I told the team as big as that (EMU) match was, every match in the MAC counts as the same.”

CMU won the first set 25-11 Saturday against KSU, but sets two and three weren’t as easy.

The Chippewas won a tight 25-20 set two and needed extra points to finish the sweep of the Golden Flashes, 26-24.

“We got off to a really good start in set one, so we were able to get a lot of different players off the bench,” Olson said.

Sophomore outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre led CMU in kills for the fourthstraight match with 13.

Freshman middle blocker Angelique White had 10 kills, while senior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude added nine.

Junior setter Kelly Maxwell had 39 assists as she led the Chippewas to a .348 hitting per- Kelly Maxwell centage.

“We cleaned up really well in the first game,” Maxwell said. “Dulude had a really nice night on the left side, so that helped to put some balls away for us.”

Defensively, CMU held KSU to a low .174 hitting percentage, despite junior libero Jenna Coates posting a lower than typical dig total of 11.

The Chippewas overall had 37 digs on the night, with Dulude coming up with seven and McIntyre adding six. Maxwell, White and senior defensive specialist Samantha Brawley each recorded four.

“It’s weird because we put up a good number, but we missed a whole lot of digs,” Olson said. “I would have actually liked to see us defend better than we did.”

Senior wide receiver Cody Wilson, left and senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff, right talk to one another on the sideline during the game against Northern Illinois on Saturday.

The Huskies had 626 yards of total offense with 407 being on the ground. “(NIU’s) quarterback is the main reason, but I was very impressed with their offensive line,” Enos said.

“Coming into the game, I didn’t quite know how good they would be. They’re very good.”

Harman made a 43-yard field goal to bring CMU within 10 with 1:09 left in the third quarter.

The Chippewas defense forced a punt on the Huskies next drive and had a chance to cut into the deficit once again.

But a Zurlon Tipton fumble led to another NIU touchdown – one of three NIU scored in the fourth quarter.

For the second-straight week, senior Cody Wilson led the team in receiving. He finished with eight catches for 113 yards.

“He’s a very good player,” Enos said. “He’s one of our best players, and we feel very comfortable going to him in a lot of situations.”

Davis had just one catch, but it was a 92-yard score on the first play of the second half, bringing the Chippewas within three.

After going three-and-out on their opening drive, the Huskies scored touchdowns on their next two possessions, taking a 14-0 lead.

A FOOTBALL| 5B

Eastern Michigan handed the women’s soccer team its first conference loss of the season after CMU failed to score on any of its 25 shot attempts.

The Eagles defeated the Chippewas 2-0 on Sunday, recording just 13 shots.

Head coach Neil Stafford said the loss was a disappointment, especially with the inability to score on any of the numerous shots.

“Our ratio of conversion is just disgraceful,” Stafford said. “It’s really poor right now, and we have to do a better job.”

Junior midfielder Kaely Schlosser attempted to put the Chippewas on the board within the first three minutes, but her shot went wide.

Less than a minute later, junior midfielder Cara Cutaia took the first shot for the Eagles but also failed to score.

CMU picked up the offensive heat, firing the next four shots on redshirt freshman goalkeeper Jenna O’Dell, including two shots that landed wide by sopho-

more forward Laura Gosse.

Eighteen minutes into the game, the momentum shifted. EMU finally made good on a shot off the foot of sophomore forward Angela Vultaggio with ten minutes remaining in the half.

“I felt we did outstanding in the first 18 or 20 minutes,” Stafford said.

“I thought we dominated the second half, but our momentary lapses hurt us.

They’re a good team that punishes you for that.”

Sophomore midfielder Martha Stevens sealed the victory for EMU with a goal in the 71st minute off assists from Cutaia and Vultaggio.

Of CMU’s 25 shots, five were on goal compared to the Eagles’ six.

Senior forward Laura Twidle said the team needs to continue to work on taking advantage of opportunities and putting more power behind their shots.

Instead of dwelling on the loss, Twidle said the team is looking at the positives.

Senior captain Erin Dye scores twice as field hockey sweeps over the weekend

By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

The field hockey team won its two games this weekend against Pacific University and Ball State.

Central Michigan relied heavily on its defense to beat PU 2-1 Sunday in East Lansing, holding the Tigers to three shots on goal, none coming in the second half.

The Chippewas had more goal-support Saturday, beating Ball State 5-3 to earn their first conference win of the season.

“It’s nice to know we can win in a shootout and a tight contest,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “Although, obviously, we’ve had a lot of these 2-1 games this year.”

Junior Ellen Riley was happy to score her first career goal,

coming off the bench at a crucial time to put CMU in the lead for good in the 46th minute against PU. “Skylar VanNatta, it was all her,” Riley said. “She was the one who got the rebound and got the ball back in. I was just in the right place at the right time.”

Freese said the defensive line thwarted the Tigers’ offense by keeping the ball from goalkeeper Anastasia Netto.

“Defensively, we played better in some ways,” she said. “It wasn’t that the ball wasn’t down there; it was we probably did a better job of putting pressure on the ball before it got to Anna.”

Freese said the passing wasn’t as good as it was Saturday, but the Chippewas had a 4-3 advantage in penalty corners, an area of weakness for CMU.

The only shot on goal by the Chippewas in the first half was by scoring leader Erin Dye, who found the back of the net in the 20th minute.

Pacific’s lone goal in the game came in the 24th minute.

The Chippewas entered the weekend on a five-game losing streak. They are now 5-6 overall and 1-1 in the Mid-American Conference.

“It’s exciting that our hard work is finally paying off,” Riley said. “We needed a mid-season boost, I think. It got us excited again, and we’re ready to keep up the winning streak.”

CMU plays only one game next week against Missouri State Saturday in Springfield, MO.

BALL sTATe

CMU left open the possibil-

ity for its fourth overtime game this season when it allowed Ball State to tie the game in the 63rd minute Saturday.

But Central Michigan closed the door on the Cardinals quickly after.

Junior Abby Roth scored the tie-breaking goal in the 64th minute, sending a shot into the left side of the net, and Mary Alice Moore scored in the closing minutes to beat BSU 5-3.

“After they scored that goal, we realized that it shouldn’t have happened, and we needed to fire up and come back strong,” Roth said. “(The game) didn’t need to go (to overtime), and we knew we were good enough to prevent that from happening.”

Junior Erica Garwood and sophomore Cayleigh Immelman each tallied a goal and an assist against BSU, and Erin

Ryan Radcliff, Zurlon Tipton commit costly turnovers in loss to Huskies

field hockey

By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

Andrew Kuhn /Staff Photographer

Senior midfielder Erin Dye leads the team with seven goals this season. The St. Louis, Mo. native has 29 career goals, one shy of reaching the top-10 all-time at CMU.

Senior scorer: Captain Erin Dye puts her body on the line to create goals

Turnovers are always a key stat in football.

So far this season, the Chippewas have done well to protect the ball. Central Michigan did not have a turnover in last weekend’s 32-31 upset-win over Iowa.

The football team had yet to commit one in its game against Northern Illinois Saturday afternoon until the 6:36 mark of the third quarter, but when it did, it hurt.

With the Huskies clinging to a slim 27-21 lead and the Chippewas at the NIU 16-yard line, senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff ’s pass was tipped at the line and intercepted by NIU senior defensive end Sean

By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

Erin Dye scores goals.

It is a skill not learned but ingrained into her psyche.

She only wore the maroon and gold field hockey uniform 25 minutes and 27 seconds into the first game of her true freshman season before scoring her first goal.

The senior remembers it clearly.

“It was at Colgate, and I remember it was a night game,” Dye said. “I was so afraid to even be starting.

And the whole time I was like, ‘please don’t pass me the ball, please don’t pass me the ball.’

“The ball popped out in the circle, and I actually scored on a reverse sweep.”

Dye scored five goals in her first year. With at least seven games to go in her last year as a Chippewa, the leading-scorer for CMU has two more than her freshman total, already.

But don’t tell her that. Dye doesn’t partake in any of the stat watching some athletes participate in. She said she is just in it for the victories.

And she has helped the Chippewas in the win column. Dye had the lone goal in their game against thenNo. 22 Maine on Sept. 1 to help the Chippewas secure their first win over a ranked opponent in five years.

Equally impressive as the number of goals she has scored in her career (29) is the way she goes about racking them up.

It is comparable to a bowling ball clashing against pins.

If she sees the ball in a scrum in front of the goal, she goes headfirst, desperately wanting to sneak one past the goalie.

“We just watched video tape, and I said ‘Erin, you sort of wait, you wait, you wait,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “But then when that ball goes in the middle, it’s like everybody better get out of your way, because she’ll go at it.”

Freese has said the senior has more success on her back than on her feet.

“I get tunnel vision when I see a ball,” Dye said. “I probably, if I used any logic, would not go at the ball like I do, because I sometimes end up hurting myself. But I just don’t think of anything else but the ball.”

Dye has gone through her droughts, as much as they are forgotten behind her seven goals this season. After scoring three in the first two games last season, Dye only scored one goal in the next 10 games.

The Chippewas were 3-7 in that stretch. While Dye is happy to go out a winner with no goals, she found it “aggravating” to go scoreless in their losses.

Luckily for her, Freese gave her more shots from the penalty corner later in the season, and she responded, scoring six goals in the last eight games to close out the 2011 season.

“Early in the season, we didn’t call a lot of corner players her way,” Freese said.

“Then I got tired of not scoring corners, then I called one for Erin, and she scored.”

Dye earned second-team honors in the Mid-American Conference last season, despite her slow start.

She is known as more

The men’s and women’s cross-country teams might have faced their toughest competition of the season thus far Saturday afternoon at the Roy Griak Invitational in Minneapolis.

Sophomore Kyle Stacks and senior Jason Drudge both finished in the top-35 in the men’s 8k for CMU, while junior Krista Parks finished in the top-40, leading the pack in the women’s 6k race.

The men’s team finished ninth of 15 teams with a score of 214 in the first scored meet of the season.

The women’s team finished 11th of 19 teams with 283 points.

Director of cross-country Willie Randolph wasn’t pleased with the overall performance this week and said he saw a lot of things the team could improve on.

“We expected a lot more, and we learned a lot as we continue to work with a young team,” Randolph said. “ I think we are getting closer to where we need to be for Pre-Nationals in two weeks. We will take away some good things with us … we have to continue to press toward being aggressive and having that mindset the whole race, all the way to the finish line.”

“She’s an excellent student and a top athlete, I really put her in a category of student-athlete that people should look up to.”

Cristy Freese, Head coach than a goal-scorer this season. Dye was elected cocaptain with Emily Girasole by the team; a pair that Freese said offers contrasting leadership styles.

“I don’t think (Dye) really cares if people like her or not; she says what she thinks,” Freese said. “If this is right, do it. If this is wrong, don’t do it. She doesn’t get caught up in being overly nice.”

Whereas Girasole, Freese said, tends to take a kind approach.

Dye also scores well off of the field with a 3.90 GPA, majoring in political science, marketing and logistics. She started tallying college credits in high school.

“She’s an excellent student and a top athlete,” Freese

said. “I really put her in the category of student-athlete that people should look up to.”

Erin Dye has been an important piece of the team over her four-year career, starting in 65 games.

But this is her last opportunity to capture a coveted MAC Championship.

“If we don’t get it this year, there’s nothing else; it’s over,” Dye said with an uneasy laugh.

The Chippewas are off to a 5-6 start with a 1-1 conference record this season, and their shot at a MAC title grows as Dye continues to do what she does best – score goals. sports@cm-life.com

route to the 55-24 win.

“The turnovers were the difference in the game,” Enos said. “When you play an offense like that, you can’t give them extra turns and a short field. We did that today.”

On the flip side, NIU did not commit a turnover in the game.

“We had a couple takeaways, and we protected the ball well,” NIU head coach Dave Doeren said.

“That’s huge when you come out on the positive end of the turnover ratio.”

The Chippewas conclude their three-game road trip Saturday when they travel to Toledo, Ohio to take on the Rockets. sports@cm-life.com

Progar.

Nine plays later, the score was 34-21, and the Chippewas were never able to recover.

“We had the ball in the red zone and had a guy open,” head coach Dan Enos said. “They had a great play to tip the ball and pick it. After that, the ballgame was over.”

On the Chippewa’s next drive, junior running back Zurlon Tipton carried the ball right through tackles for seven yards before fumbling the ball in an attempt for extra yardage.

NIU scored eight plays later to make the score 4124 with 11:28 to go in the game.

Stacks was the first runner across the line for CMU, finishing 29th with an 8k time of 25:31.9. He was followed closely by Jason Drudge, who finished 32nd and recorded a 25:36.2 time.

Stacks was as high as 13th place at the 3k mark but couldn’t hold that pace for the remainder of the race, while Drudge worked his way back after dropping to the 83rd position at the 1k point.

“This wasn’t exactly the best race I could have had,” Stacks said. “I was trying to play catch-up throughout the race which was upsetting. We can learn a lot from this race, and use it for our race in two weeks.”

Stacks repeated the team’s philosophy of keeping close during races.

“Getting out into a good position to start the race and sticking together throughout the race are always important,” Stacks said.

Other notable runners on the men’s side were sophomore Ethan Lievense (25:51.9), senior Matt Lutzke (26:06.4) and sophomore Ben Wynsma (26:14.9), finishing No. 42, 55 and 64, respectively.

Parks finished 37th for the women’s team, running a 22:20.2 6k. She worked back after falling back to 89th place during the first

kilometer of the race.

“It wasn’t our best race, and we didn’t finish as good as we wanted,” Parks said.

“We’re looking to the future as we continue to improve and learn from our mistakes.”

The rest of the women runners who were scored for CMU finished within 18 seconds of each other.

The pack was led by junior Shelby Thren (23:17.9), who finished 86th.

Redshirt freshman Alyssa Dyer finished 96th, senior Maddie Ribant finished 98th, and freshman Bailey Parmelee finished 101st to round out the field for CMU. Senior Kelly Wiebe, of Regina, won the men’s 8k with a time of 24:18.8, while Minnesota claimed the men’s team title with a score of 67.

Betsy Saina led the way for the women in the 6k with a time of 20:50.5 and led her Iowa State Cyclones to the team title with 43 points.

The Chippewas will have next week off before competing the following week at the Pre-National Meet on Oct. 13 in Louisville, Ken. Louisville will also play host to the National Championships on Nov. 17. sports@cm-life.com

Justin Cherocci improving at linebacker

Ryan Zuke Staff Reporter

By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

Sophomore linebacker Justin Cherocci showed signs of becoming a productive player during his freshman season with the Central Michigan football team.

In 2012, there is little doubt that he’s become just that.

“He’s got some great football instincts,” CMU linebackers coach Kyle Nystrom said. “He’s pretty tough and really competitive. He’s really matured a lot since he’s been here.”

Cherocci has led the Chippewas in tackles in three of their first four games this season, including a career-high 15 in the season opener against Southeast Missouri State.

He leads the team with 42 total tackles.

“I’m just trying to follow the scheme that my coaches draw up for me,” Cherocci said. “I just try and execute when the opportunity to make a play presents itself.”

Cherocci led the state of Michigan in tackles as a high school junior and senior at football powerhouse Brother Rice. He had several scholarship offers from Division II schools including Hillsdale, but Cherocci wanted to play Division 1 football.

That’s when Cherocci’s parents began talking to

After being redshirted in 2010, Cherocci finished last season with 29 tackles, but this year he has taken his game to a new level.

“He’s just more mature mentally,” Nystrom said.

If you’ve gone to a volleyball match, you’ve probably noticed the tall frizzy-haired girl on the sideline awaiting her opportunity to get on the floor.

That girl is the versatile sophomore middle blocker/outside hitter Hallie Enderle.

Central Michigan Life sat down with Enderle for a Q & A. KL: Talk about your role on this team.

HE: My role right now is to challenge the team on the starting side and make them their best.

Junior setter Kelly Maxwell, left, and freshman middle blocker Angie White, attempt a spike Sept. 22 at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas beat the Broncos 3-1.

Maxwell, defense, serving highlight 3-game win-streak Women’s volleyball head coach Erik Olson has his team off to a hot start in Mid-American Conference play this season.

After dropping its first MAC match against Northern Illinois on Sept. 21, Central Michigan won three consecutive matches by winning nine of its last 10 sets.

The Chippewas beat MAC-favorite Western Michigan in four sets Sept.

22 before sweeping Eastern Michigan and Kent State last week.

“We’ve focused on taking everything one point at a time and one moment at a time,” junior setter Kelly Maxwell said. “We are not worrying about what happened before and what could happen in the future.”

Maxwell has been the one directing the team’s efficient offensive attack during its conference run.

In the last three matches, Maxwell is averaging 14.2 assists per set, bringing her season average up to 11.66 per set. “(Maxwell) is demanding the court and controlling the game real well,” Olson said. “I’m real pleased with Kelly … we’re in a real good place right now.”

Olson said he believes that Maxwell’s productivity will increase with the team’s improving defense.

“We’re getting better

Q & A with sophomore Hallie Enderle

good about his situation, because we were honest up front,” Nystrom said. “He came here his first year and was a typical freshman.

Like Bambi the dear jumping around in all the wrong spots. He worked through that, and he’s started turning into a pretty good football player.”

through our defensive system right now, and, as that evolves more, she can control the floor even more,” Olson said. “I think she can be better.”

The defense has held its opponents to a .179 hitting percentage, making their opponent’s hitting percentage this season .174. Coming into the week, CMU held the top spot in the MAC for opponent hitting percentage.

“I think that our defense is pretty good, and we certainly see room for improvement,” Olson said. “But we like a lot of things we see right now.”

Serving also has improved.

The Chippewas have 16 aces, averaging 1.60 per set in the last three matches.

Before the winning streak, they were averaging 1.20 aces per set.

Leading the way has been sophomore outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre, who has eight aces during the win streak, giving her a teamleading 14 on the season.

“I think we can do even better, even though our performance has been pretty good,” Olson said. “We definitely have a strategy that we’re working. I just think we can be a little more accurate.”

CMU will head to Muncie, Ind. Friday to take on Ball State at Worthen Arena. sports@cm-life.com

KL: You seem to bring comic relief to the team; talk about your role there.

HE: It helps keep practices lighter. I believe in comic relief; I think it’s sweet and keeps me out of my head.

KL: Part of that humor shows on “The Mac and Enderle Show,” a clip show you and fellow sophomore Kaitlyn McIntyre do for fun and post onto the Central Michigan Volleyball Facebook page.

How did the show start?

HE: It started because we have a TiVo that watches practices for us that doesn’t record sound, so Mac and I would stand there like we had a show

and (assistant coach) Dave (Zelenock) told us to record that because it’s hilarious, and we’ve done it ever since.

KL: Do you have any pregame rituals you do?

HE: My walk to the training room is my thing where I have my sweat suit on with the hood up, because I feel super boss and people see me and say ‘she’s thuggin’. That gets me amped and reminds me that I’m a Division I athlete.

KL: What’s on that playlist?

HE: A lot of dubstep, not anything that’s appropriate for the general public warm-up. So a lot of rap and hardcore stuff that gets you going.

KL: I know you played softball and basketball in high school; what’s your favorite sport outside of volleyball?

HE: I love softball. I went to the game Sunday, and I felt like I was in the dugout. That’s what I miss the most.

KL: What are you studying here at CMU? HE: Right now, I’m going to be a health administration major with a concentration in therapeutic recreation, with a minor in psychology and art.

Hopefully I’ll go to grad school for art therapy.

KL: You’re from Mankat, Minn. What attracted you to come to Mount Pleasant?

HE: I was recruited kind of late as a junior and got hung up by some Big Ten schools because I didn’t keep growing.

(Erik Olson’s) e-mail was personally from him and it really sparked. He said everything I was looking for in a program.

KL: Your freshman year, you won a MAC Championship, something that has never been done here.

What were your feelings during and after the match?

HE: After we beat Western (in the semi-finals), we were like, ‘we’re winning the whole thing’. It sounds like such a cocky thing to say, but it was such a for-sure thing and, once it happened, it was surreal.

KL: What are your personal goals this season?

HE: Definitely break into the starting lineup and aid the team as best I can. I don’t really look for personal stats, because those come along the way.

The team goals are the most important.

If you are a fan and only saw the final score of yesterday’s football game, you are probably thinking Central Michigan is back to playing like the 3-9 team from the previous two seasons.

But if you watched the game, you would know it was much closer than a 55-24 blowout.

Late in the third quarter, CMU trailed by just six points and were one play away from taking the lead.

Quarterback Ryan Radcliff targeted Titus Davis on a pass that would have surely been a touchdown from 43 yards out.

But Davis dropped the pass, and five plays later, a tipped Radcliff throw was picked off by NIU. That play, along with a Zurlon Tipton fumble, led to a flurry of three touchdowns by the Huskies in the fourth quarter.

And those were not the only two plays that impacted the game.

NIU was successful on a fake punt in a fourth-and-seven situation in the first quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Huskies scored a touchdown on a fake field goal from seven yards out.

I’m not saying I think the Chippewas should have won the game or outplayed the Huskies, but they did play them tough, and there were positives to take away.

Despite struggling early, Radcliff was able to settle in and finished the game with 332 passing yards against the number-one-ranked pass defense in the Mid-American Conference.

CMU was also 7-of-15 on third down conversions, an improvement from last week’s win over Iowa.

And Cody Wilson had eight catches, once again, for 111 yards.

Yes, its defense struggled mightily, allowing 622 yards of total offense, but it was against a very potent NIU offense—especially at home.

The win was the Huskies’ 18th consecutive at home, and they have not lost a conference game at home since 2008.

There is a reason why they won the MAC West title last season and were selected to finish second in this year’s preseason rankings; they are a very good team.

If the Chippewas can play like they did in the first three quarters of Saturday’s game against a quality opponent, then I still think they will win a healthy number of football games this season.

But this weekend will not get any easier on the road against Toledo. The Rockets were the MAC West preseason favorite and are 4-1 this year with a 2-0 conference record. sports@cm-life.com

CMU started the weekend on Thursday night when it won three close sets with the Eagles (25-23, 25-23, 26-24) in McGuirk Arena.

Maxwell directed another efficient offensive attack against EMU with 47 digs.

Maxwell averaged 14.33 assists per set this weekend, which Olson said makes a strong case for Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week.

“She should be close to the top (with 14.33 assist per set this week),” Olson said. “It’ll probably put her up for player of the week.”

Running back Leighton Settle had an 11-yard touchdown rush to make it 7-0.

Then, Lynch found receiver Martel Moore in the back corner of the end zone, from 14 yards out, with 4:30 remaining in the first quarter.

Although the Chippewas were beaten in Ypsilanti, they left Kalamazoo with a 1-0 win on Friday against Western Michigan.

The MAC lost its lone game against a major conference opponent Saturday when Buffalo fell to Connecticut 24-17. Buffalo took an early 7-3 lead on Brandon Murie’s first of two touchdowns. The running back rushed for a touchdown and caught a 50-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter.

The Big East Huskies used two turnovers to beat Buffalo at home while being outgained by a yard to the Bulls.

Bowling Green went outside the MAC to stomp Rhode Island with a balanced attack of three rushing and three receiving touchdowns. Jerry “BooBoo” Gates began the BGSU scoring with an 80-yard punt return to the end zone, while the Falcon defense held Rhode Island to 75 passing yards on 22 throws.
