Clinton: ‘I want to give you something to vote for’ news@cm-life.com

Convincing Michiganders to vote for Democrats Nov. 8 was the theme of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s speech when she campaigned Monday in Detroit.

The Democratic nominee for president visited Wayne State University to convince unregistered voters, particularly within the Millennial generation, to register to vote before the Oct. 11 deadline.

About 4,000 people were in the crowd, according to the university.

“People know what’s at stake this election. The differences between me and my opponent are pretty clear,” Clinton said. “Because of this, we’re getting more and more Democrats and Independents (pledging to vote for me). I want to give you something to vote for, not just someone to vote against.”

For the first time in history, Millennials nearly match the number of voters of the Baby Boomer generation, according to a study done by Pew Research Center. That generation has been the dominant voting bloc for the last several elections.

News organizations such as Politico consider Michigan’s 16 Electoral College votes as some of the most important alongside swing states like Ohio and Nevada in the race.

While the state has traditionally leaned Democratic, going blue for six of the last 10 presidential elections, Trump won the Michigan presidential primary with 36.5 percent of the vote.

Clinton lost the state to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders by 1.5 percent.

Speakers at the event, however, were confident in

“People know what’s at stake this election. The differences between me and my opponent are pretty clear...I want to give you something to vote for, not just someone to vote against.”

HILLARY CLINTON

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE

Clinton’s ability to win the Democratic and undecided vote. Preceding Clinton’s speech were people offering their support of the Democratic nominee like Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, U.S. Senator Debbie Stabbenow and Michigan 9th District Representative Sandy Levin.

“Clinton is trying to create an economy where no one is forgotten or left out,” Duggan said. “She’s trying to make a country where no one is bad mouthed because they’re Muslim, an immigrant or African-American. Clinton is thinking for the rest of us.”

Duggan pressed the crowd to encourage their unregistered friends and family members to sign up by the deadline. He also encouraged people to “bring their friends” to the polls in November.

“Michigan is going to be pivotal for the first time in years,” he said. “We are going to make the decision as a country in a few weeks. If you believe in a country where everyone is respected and valued, we cannot sit on our hands. (It’s time to) let her know Detroit is behind Hillary Clinton.”

Clinton’s words managed to sway some undecided voters in the audience.

Redford native Stephenie Mincey said she attended the rally on a whim because she was in the area.

Only having registered to vote a little more than week ago, she was unsure what

candidate she favored.

“After seeing all of this, I’m definitely voting for (Clinton),” she said. “Almost everything she stands for is something I believe in.”

In addition to Clinton raising awareness about registering to vote, she also spoke in detail about working together with Sanders to create a plan that would cut college student debt if she is elected into office.

The crowd was vocal in response to issues raised such as lowering federal income tax, Trump’s misogynistic comments against women and the Sunday night debate in St. Louis, Missouri.

“I wasn’t even sure if I was going to vote at all in this election,” said Clinton Township native Rodney Scott.

“Then I watched the (Sunday) debate and listened to what she was saying, which has made me lean more toward Hillary. Especially what she said today about increasing the minimum wage and making college affordable for students, it’s making me want to vote for her.”

Clinton closed out the rally with one message: The “next 30 days can affect the next 30 years.”

“We really hope young people will become the biggest voting group in this election,” she said. “If we work together we can make this country what we know it will and should be. We’re going to prove to the world we are stronger together.

ISSUES ON THE GREAT LAKES TO BE DISCUSSED AT FRIDAY GLSA SYMPOSIUM

Entertainment Room Package

The Institute for Great Lakes Research is hosting a free Great Lakes Science in Action Symposium 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14, in the Biosciences Building auditorium.

Policies and issues regarding sustainability of the ecosystem will be the focus of the symposium.

“The Great Lakes are going through some pretty tremendous changes and the system itself is absolutely key to our economy in the region,” said Donald Uzarski, director of Central Michigan University Institute for Great Lakes Research. “This is a chance to get policy makers, managers and scientists in one room and start discussing the important issues we need to address.”

The symposium will feature U.S. Sen. Gary Peters as a guest speaker.

Anyone interested in attending should RSVP by contacting Jessica Lapp, coordinator of CMU’s Institute for Great Lakes Research, at (989)-774-4401 or IGLR@cmich.edu. Those who RSVP will receive a parking pass for the day and a free lunch at 12:30 p.m.

will be a high interest topic of discussion, Uzarski said, because there are a lot of changes happening regarding trout and salmon.

The first part of the symposium will comprise two panel discussions. During the first panel discussion held from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., representatives from the state and federal government will share their perspective on the Great Lakes. Peters will speak following the discussion until 11:15 a.m.

The second panel discussion will have representatives from non-governmental organizations and will focus on relaying messages from the scientific community to the public.

“The second part of the day is much more geared toward students, and getting younger people involved with issues taking place in the Great Lakes,” Uzarski said.

This will involve the viewing of a documentary film, followed by a third panel reflecting on it.

Pre-graduation academic services moved from the Registrar’s Office on the second floor of Warriner Hall to the academic advising centers within the academic colleges on Central Michigan University’s campus.

“What changed is the folks that did these audits are now dispersed in the academic colleges,” said Amy Faber, the Registrar’s Office assistance director.

A pre-graduation audit helps students identify what classes they need to graduate.

Online and satellite-located students can still receive audits in the Academic Advising and Assistance in Ronan Hall Room 250.

An announcement of the

adviser location change was sent out Sept. 8 by Michelle Howard, the executive director of academic advising and assistance. Faculty and staff were notified of the change but students were not.

The change does not apply to graduation audits. The online graduation process has not changed from last year.

Students who applied for May graduation audits before the Sept. 15 deadline should receive their audit via email before Dec. 16, Faber said. The deadline for August graduation in 2017 is Jan. 15.

Biosciences Building features climate-friendly green roof

By Sarah Wolpoff Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Students and faculty will be able to spend downtime on a secluded patio surrounded by plant life on the roof of Central Michigan University’s new Biosciences Building.

The green roof spans 6,700 square feet on top of the building. The project cost $177,000 said Steve Lawrence, former associated vice president of facilities management.

The roof material below the plants, the structure holding the plants in place, the plants themselves and installation labor are included in the cost.

Chairperson of the Biology

Department Tracy Galarowicz said the roof was installed as a modular system. This means plants for the roof came in “strips, or trays, of plants,” which were then “put in (their) proper place.”

Galarowicz said the patio set up with tables and chairs will be open to the public.

The patio can be accessed on the second floor of the Biosciences Building, next to the biology department offices.

Lawrence said the green roof comprises 11 varieties of sedum plants, thick flowering plants and one variety of chive.

Ann Arbor senior Jude Gulian studies biology and works

in a botany lab on campus.

She is in favor of the latest edition to the building.

“Plants are the fundamental of all life,” she said. “This (green roof ) is a beautiful form to appreciate them.”

“The roof will help with water retention (in the building),” Galarowicz said.

“Instead of having a solid surface where rain shoots off the building, the plants help store the water.”

A handbook provided

by LiveRoof, the company responsible for providing and installing the green roof, states the plants and soil will also help promote a habitat for butterflies, insects and birds.

LiveRoof also claims economic benefits associated with the green roof installation. The plants will protect the building’s roof from drying winds, U.V. radiation and cracks or leaks, potentially extending the roof life expectancy by 200 to 300 percent, the handbook states.

This could save the university money on having to do maintenance to the roof that could be incurred naturally by weather.

Roof maintenance will involve weeding and fertilizing, as determined by annual soil samples. The Landscape Operations staff will be responsible for maintaining procedures.

Because several biology classes will be held in the Biosciences building, the green roof could also be an educational opportunity for CMU biology students.

Mikayla Carter | Staff Photographer The climate-friendly green roof sits atop the Bioscience Building on Wednesday, Oct. 5.

There are no set plans yet to incorporate the green roof into classroom curriculum, Galarowicz said, however she thinks that will change.

“I could definitely see it being used as a potential resource for our foundations of ecology class where we look at plant diversity and different habitats,” she said.

Gulian said she thinks spending time on the roof could be therapeutic, especially as a study environment when the weather permits.

“Surrounded by lush, green plants would be a more natural place for studying,” she said. “Students want to be out doors, in nature. It’s what we strive for.”

Indigenous Peoples Day a stark, necessary reminder of America and Europe’s bloody colonial past

The face, and soul, of America are changing. We are becoming a more diverse nation, one that is more black, brown and yellow than white.

At home and abroad, we tout our commitment to diversity as America’s greatest strength, even when some citizens fail to uphold that ideal.

That’s why CMU and Mount Pleasant’s city government work so closely with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe. It’s why we choose to recognize Oct. 11 as Indigenous Peoples Day instead of honoring Christopher Columbus.

On Monday, Mount Pleasant’s City Commission issued its third proclama-

tion to rename Columbus Day as Indigenous Peoples Day, distinguishing the Tribe and their hardships in America over the last 500 years.

We join the city in embracing Indigenous Peoples Day. We support – and will continue to support – renaming Christopher Columbus Day on a state and federal level.

Our relationships with the CMU community are important to us.

That includes residents of Mount Pleasant, but most importantly members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

When we invoke Columbus’ name on a national holiday, we are in turn celebrating the deep wounds of an entire race. It is wrong to continue that practice.

At the commission meeting, Tribal Chief Frank Cloutier thanked the city for their support and understanding the violent history of European colonization. He also pointed out some of the recent problems that exist between Native people and Modern American culture.

We are committed to pointing out instances where our two communities have failed to see eye to eye.

We confirm that commitment to unity by using their name respectfully. We support the Tribe’s efforts

in the community. We work through offices on campus to offer outreach programs to non-Native students, all with the hope of learning as much as we can from Tribal culture.

We enroll Native students and pay their tuition with the help of state funds. Their success is our success, and our community is more vibrant because of their contributions.

When the state falls short of its promise to fund Native tuition in full, CMU makes up the difference, ensuring Native students’ rights to access a university education.

We cannot fathom CMU without them and their influence on our own culture. Being in such close proximity to Native people gives us insight into their struggle for acceptance in a land that was once theirs.

Make no mistake – the idea that America was stolen land is not a myth. European colonization was an invasion followed by genocide.

We slowly but surely degraded the Native culture. We decimated a vast network of Tribes with booze, bullets and blankets riddled with disease. Europe and America’s tactics were deceptive.

They were despicable.

To blame the ensuing Native American genocide squarely on Columbus is mostly unfair. A host of

EDITORIAL

American actors helped perpetuate hatred against our Native brothers and sisters for centuries. His arrival in the West Indies marked the beginning of the end for Native peoples.

Celebrating a man that opened the door to such horrors is not only wrong, it is a gross misunderstanding of our own history. That’s why so many cities and some states are choosing instead to celebrate indigenous people.

The Tribal community is a short five miles away from CMU. In many ways, it is the closest some of our students have gotten to interacting with a culture and a people other than their own.

We view that interaction as paramount to becoming a better citizen of this country. History has a tendency to repeat itself when we forget its most vital lessons.

Let us use Indigenous Peoples Day not only as a marker of the past, but also as a lens into our current issues with race relations and with all people from different lands.

Football players raise fists to unite against racial discrimination

By Greg Wickliffe Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Before last Saturday’s 24-21 win against Ball State, several Central Michigan football players raised their fists during the playing of the national anthem in protest of social injustices around the country.

Junior defensive backs Ray Golden and Emmett Thomas, freshman defensive back Marcel Ray and junior linebacker Tyree Waller all made the decision before the game to peacefully protest during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner.

Golden began raising his fist three weeks ago and the other players decided to join him during Saturday’s game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Golden said the purpose of raising their fists in the air is to bring awareness to the issue of racial discrimination.

“What that meant to us was highlighting issues that are going on in our country,” he said.

“In light of the recent events, we wanted to bring awareness to social injustice and show our fellow Americans that we’re with them and we want to highlight change.”

When asked about the players’ silent protest after the team’s practice on Wednesday, head coach John Bonamego said he was unaware of the protest but talked with his players after learning about it.

“I spoke to them to make sure they were doing it for the right reasons,” he said. “I’m

proud we live in a country where people have a right to express their beliefs and communicate them.”

The second-year head coach will allow the four players, junior defensive backs Ray Golden and Emmett Thomas, freshman defensive back Marcel Ray and junior linebacker Tyree Waller to continue raising their fists during the national anthem.

“As long as it’s done in a way that is not disruptive and non-violent, I have no problem with it. That’s their right,” Bonamego said.

Professional and collegiate athletes around the U.S. have participated in similar protests during the national anthem recently.

Most notably, San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Colin

Dominick Mastrangelo | Editor-In-Chief Junior defensive backs Ray Golden and Emmett Thomas, freshman defensive back Marcel Ray and junior linebacker Tyree Waller raise their fists during the National Anthem before the game against Ball State on Saturday, Oct. 8, at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Kaepernick began protesting social injustice during the national anthem by kneeling during the song before an NFL preseason game.

These protests come in response to numerous police-involved shootings of minorities across the country in recent months.

“I really want to express that I don’t support what’s going on in our country right now, and (I am) supporting the Black Lives Matter movement,” Waller said. “I think police should stop killing unarmed black men.”

Saturday’s decision by the four Chippewas was a collec-

tive one.

The players were unsure if their coaches were aware of their protest. Golden said he would have still gone through with it had his coaches not approved.

“The message is simply standing up for what we believe in, in a peaceful way,” he said. “In a way that causes awareness, but it’s least disruptive in a negative sense.

What we’re doing is highlighting the issue.”

Thomas said he believes the fact that he and his teammates are Division I football players will help spread awareness.

“I put (my fist) up for justice and for everything that’s going

Golden said he will continue to raise his first in the air during the national anthem.

Senior captains Cooper Rush and Tony Annese expressed support for the players’ silent protest, which they will continue throughout the season.

“Those players want to make a stand in their opinion of what they think is right and support that 100 percent,” Annese said.

The Chippewas play at Northern Illinois at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Chippewas head to NIU for pivotal MAC West matchup

By Greg Wickliffe Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

It’s been an unusual year for Northern Illinois so far, but that doesn’t change the Central Michigan football team’s take on the Huskies.

CMU travels to DeKalb, Illinois, on Saturday to face an NIU team that has one of the best records in the country since 2010 (66-24 overall).

This year, the Huskies limp into Saturday’s contest with a 1-5 record and are in a threeway tie with CMU and Eastern Michigan for third place in the Mid-American Conference West Division at 1-1.

NIU has played in a Football Subdivision record six consecutive conference championship games.

Despite the rough start to the season, CMU head coach John Bonamego said NIU’s record so far won’t matter.

“They definitely have our attention,” he said.

“However they got to the point they are in their season we’re still expecting their best. You don’t go to six straight conference championships unless you’re doing something right.”

The Chippewas enter Saturday’s matchup riding a 24-21 victory over Ball State, which snapped a two-game losing streak.

In that game, senior quarterback Cooper Rush was sacked five times after being sacked eight times against Western Michigan the previous week. Despite the offensive lines recent struggles, Rush said he believes they will protect him better against the Huskies.

“We had a great week of practice up-front this week,” he said. “That should really help us. We have to stay out tough passing situations like third and long. That’s tough for any

offensive line.”

Defense is where the Huskies have struggled the most, allowing 37.8 points a game, which is second-worst in the MAC. NIU is allowing a MAC second-worst 499 yards per game and 227 yards rushing per game.

Rush said the Huskies are a tough team to beat on the road despite their defensive struggles.

“They have a program down there that’s used to winning,” he said. “They find ways to win in the MAC whether they’re playing well or not. They have that winning attitude that finds ways to win especially at home.”

Senior safety Tony Annese will return to the field for CMU after missing the last three games due to a pulled muscle in his calf. “(Missing games) was hurtful for me, so I’m ready to get back out there and help my team,” Annese said.

Annese said he won’t be rusty heading into the matchup.

“I had to make sure I was 100 percent healthy before I got back out there,” he said.

“I’m going to play full speed and make plays.”

NIU is led by senior quarterback and WMU transfer Anthony Maddie. Maddie is a dualthreat quarterback averaging 166 yards passing and 78 yards rushing.

Maddie’s top target is senior receiver Kenny Golladay, who leads the MAC in receptions and is second in the conference in receiving yards and third in touchdown catches.

In order for CMU to leave Dekalb with a victory, Annese said the team has to study their game plan and limit mistakes on the road.

“We have to contain their offense,” Annese said. “They’ve got a good receiver, and they’re a team that knows how to win, so we just have to come prepared.”

A few hundred yards away, a sea of drunken humanity is slowly meandering into Kelly/Shorts Stadium just before kickoff.

It’s Homecoming. Central Michigan University’s marching band has begun a decades-old ritual before their pregame arrival known simply as “30 seconds.” w SPIRIT | 13

Monica Bradburn | Photo Editor Warren junior Anthony Stout rests before morning practice on Oct. 8 at the Indoor Athletic Complex.

It is a time of thoughtful reflection, focused energy and reverence to tradition.

Armed with an arsenal of brass, woodwind and percussion instruments, the Marching Chips contemplate a grueling week of preparation.

These Chippewas are ready to star in the leading musical role on the university’s most public stage: Football Saturday.

For these students, the day began hours before the sun had risen and the charcoal hit the tailgate grill. The time for rehearsal had passed. A highlyanticipated moment of truth was here.

Countless hours of practice, plenty of lost sleep and a dedication to excellence would soon culminate in an adrenaline rush that keeps members coming back for more each season.

“It never gets old,” said senior rank captain and trombonist Alex Markarian. “Everything is welling up; all the emotion is getting there.

We just try to bottle it up and channel it. That’s one of the hardest things to do. There’s so much energy, but you have to remain focused.”

Their motto is one of passion and concentration.

Monica Bradburn | Photo Editor The trumpet section practices during early morning practice before the Chippewas game against Ball State University Oct. 8 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | OCT. 13, 2016 “Hearts on fire, minds on ice,” they remind one another, eyes directed forward and spine stretched at attention.

The group’s focus is unshaken as the IAC’s back gate opens and drum major Kurt Mai makes the first move. Mai leads a march through the tailgate lot and into the stadium.

The crack of the snare drum acts as a metronome to each high step and “OO-WAH!” yelp.

Once settled in the north end zone, the band waits for its cue — a standalone chance to energize CMU’s fans and carry on a history that was passed down from generations ago.

But before the Marching Chips catch their euphoric fix, an early morning full of training and fine-tuning must be executed.

GET UP FOR GAMEDAY It’s 6 a.m. and pitch black as 260 members of the marching chips file into the Indoor Athletic Complex before practice the morning of Homecoming.

Some nap on the floor and others attempt to work on homework while assistant drum major Brendan Wilk takes inventory for roll call.

“This is nothing,” Wilk smirks. “We start even earlier for a noon game.”

The occasional gulping yawn is the only thing that interrupts conversations about politics, relationships and of course, CMU football.

Though kickoff is eight hours away, the Marching Chips take the field at 7 a.m. for an initial round of stretching and practice routine.

Section warmups are preceded by a regiment of zumba and yoga exercises to relax both the body and mind.

Their early-morning gameday process fixates on a combination of calculated movement, controlled breath and rising energy as the day grows older.

Both the sunshine and band alumni will be arriving soon, so maintaining focus will be pivotal during what Director James Batcheller calls “distraction day.”

“We need to be at our very best today,” he tells the group’s senior leadership team before black strapped boots hit the turf.

It’s the same group that began its fall training camp by outlining a set of core values to live by both in practice and on gameday.

Integrity and excellence top the list.

“We have the capacity to be the loudest group on campus,” Batcheller said. “With that capacity comes a tremendous responsibility to represent who we are as a student body and a campus community.”

Because of those who came before and those who will come after, none of the Marching Chips take this responsibility lightly.

band. It provides a chance for members to come face-to-face with those who played the fight song and marched to its melody decades before them.

It’s 9 a.m. when alumni of the Marching Chips join current members on the field for practice.

The mashup of former and current musicians is set to play the halftime show together.

“Friendship” is this week’s halftime show theme.

The oldest Marching Chip in the ensemble is 72-year-old trumpeter Jerry Reed, who graduated from CMU in 1966.

“Being in the marching band was a lifechanging experience,” he said. “It just took my breath away. It made me feel like I was home and I had always been there.”

Reed has watched the band, and CMU change over the last half century. one thing has remained constant — it’s the rush that fills Reed’s body when he plays the CMU fight song in front of thousands of fellow Chippewas cannot be dampened by time nor technology.

“The difference is like night and day,” he said. “The stadium we played in (in the 1960s) felt like an overgrown high school stadium. It never affected the attitude and enthusiasm of anyone in the band. We wer e proud of what w SPIRIT | 16

we have, and these students are too. I can tell.”

Former trombonist Paul Worfel graduated from CMU in 1973. This year was the first time he joined current Marching Chips in an annual parade down Main Street.

“Playing in the Marching Band really made a difference with me,” Worfel said. “That development of the camaraderie … It was really important that we developed that community and that community stayed with me all four years.”

Otherwise strangers, former Marching Chips spent the entire day telling stories of days past and checking in on traditions, many of which are still intact.

“That’s something we tell the younger kids when they first come in,” Wilk said. “Once you’re a Marching Chip you are always a Marching Chip.”

CREATING A CULTURE Turnover is a reality for any group on campus with heavy student involvement. Where a gap in commitment or experience might exist, the Marching Chips have inserted pride and passion.

“As the freshmen come in, some of them are very nervous,” Wilk said. “We have a very traditional way of doing things. I’ll admit when I came in, I didn’t know what to expect. Sure enough I found I don’t ever want to leave this place.”

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | OCT. 13, 2016 The group practices Monday through Friday for nearly three hours a day. They go over the week’s routine, the standard fight song, movement patterns and the halftime medley, which has a different theme every week.

Anthony Anger is a freshman from Chesterfield who was impressed with the level of commitment he saw from upperclassmen almost immediately.

“It downpoured rain on our first practice,” he said. “It was a pretty grueling experience.

But when I first ran out (on the field) with everyone, it was worth it. It was unbelievable.”

The underclassmen in this year’s band are determined not to buckle under the pressure of a history stretching back to 1923 — the band’s first official year of existence.

“You have this reputation you have to keep af-

17

ter all these years of having such a good band,” Anger said. “When you are out there playing the music, you don’t think about the pressure.

You’re out there to be with your friends.”

Anger and his fellow freshmen are training their psyche to be disciplined. It is constantly reinforced.

Before each game, Bacheller leads a call and response chant that personifies the importance of this mantra.

“Hearts on fire, minds on ice,” he reminds the spirit of the stadium before they march to the north end zone.

The public address announcer declares their arrival. The maroon and gold clad crowd erupts in a stadium of more than 20,000 people.

The Marching Chips tear through the end zone and down the field.

“Down the field for CMU.”

CLASH WI TH

KENT Chippewas without leading scorer as soccer battles 10-1 Kent State on Friday, Ohio on Sunday

By Von Lozon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Sophomore forward Alexis Pelafas has a chance to put her name in the Central Michigan soccer record books this season, but the MidAmerican Conference’s leading goal scorer will sit out Friday as the Chippewas host Kent State.

Pelafas’ 13 goals leaves her one away from tying CMU’s all-time regular season goal record set by Allison Campbell in 2001.

She will have to wait until Sunday’s match against Ohio to tie or break the record. The Illinois native is suspended due to a yellow card she received in last Sunday’s 2-1 overtime win against Bowling Green.

Even though she is only playing one game this weekend, Pelafas believes she can break the record Sunday.

“We’re gonna play like we have been and just be us. It’ll come, we just have to be patient,” she said.

The Illinois native is also chasing another record — the MAC all-time regular season goals record. The current record, 19 goals, was set by Allison Wade from Northern Illinois during the MAC’s inaugural season in 1997.

Head Coach Peter McGahey knew Pelafas had potential to do great things this season. Just five games into the season, McGahey said “she won’t be a surprise for very long.”

Just like his star player, McGahey has a “team first” mentality.

“To set records like those, it truly takes a team effort and we will contin-

ue to approach that the same way,” he said. “She plays to the team’s strengths and the team plays to her strengths.

Lexi’s success is indicative because she fits in well with the team.”

Players like junior midfielder Jamie Rademacher, sophomore forward Madison Costner, junior midfielder Meghan Sweeney and senior midfielder Eliza Van de Kerkhove are expected to fill in during Pelafas’ minutes Friday.

KENT STATE The Golden Flashes (10-1, 6-0 MAC) are on a 10-game winning streak and haven’t lost since Aug. 19 — their second game of the season at Ohio State.

As a team, Kent State has 24 goals compared to its opponents’ eight. On

1.62 goals per game. They have scored more than two goals in only four games this season.

Two of those games resulted in a draw.

The offense is balanced with seven players having scored two or more goals. Freshman forward Remi Eades is the main scoring threat for the Bobcats. She has only missed one game and leads the team in shots (27), shots on goal (16) and is third on the team in points (6).

The Bobcats have also used three goaltenders throughout the season, but they have relied heavily on sophomore Erin Beurket. Her seven starts are more than any other goalkeeper on the team, but her record (1-6-1) is more of a reflection of the team as a whole. She gives up 1.68 goals on average per game and has made 45 saves this season. Her lone win was a shutout.

Defensively, the Golden Flashes are led by sophomore goalkeeper Ashleah McDonald. She has started in 10 of KSU’s 11 games and has only allowed eight goals. She has recorded four shutouts and carries a goals allowed average of 0.83 into Friday.

Volleyball players use BCA experience to co-host video program

By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Between balancing classes, homework and Division I volleyball, broadcasting majors Courtney Hiltibran and Marissa Grant don’t have much free time to get involved in student media outlets on campus.

During the season, Hiltibran said it’s especially difficult for athletes to participate in clubs or other extra curricular activities relating to their areas of study.

“It’s super hard for us to get involved in things like News Central 34 and CM Life,” Hiltibran said.

“We want to so badly, but it’s just not possible with our schedule during the season.”

As a solution, first-year head coach Mike Gawlik asked Hiltibran and Grant to co-host a show featured on Central Michigan volleyball’s Twitter and Instagram pages.

“The Chippewa Show,” developed by Gawlik and his staff, is intended not only to give fans a look into the CMU volleyball program, but also to give broadcasting majors Hiltibran and Grant experience in front of the camera.

“It’s an opportunity for Courtney and Marissa to get some experience from a career standpoint,”

Gawlik said. “As co-hosts, they have to come up with ideas for the show and interview their teammates. It gives them experience in front of a camera while showing people what (CMU volleyball) is all about.”

Hiltibran and Grant have a BCA class together and are planning to incorporate the show into the classroom. While building their broadcasting experience they hope to also build their fan base by including other CMU students and staff.

“I think it’ll be a good experience for us not only to talk to our team, but to students and professors and get other people involved,” Grant said. “It’s about us reaching out to everybody and getting people involved in everything that’s here at CMU.” Three episodes have been posted so far. They can be found on CMU volleyball’s Instagram page.

Though there isn’t a regular time for the show to be aired, Hiltibran and Grant plan to feature their teammates on the show throughout the season.

“We’re taking ideas from our teammates and making sure we incorporate them into it,” Hiltibran said. “It is really special that we got chosen to do something like that, so we want to make sure we introduce our team throughout the entire season.”

Hiltibran, Grant and CMU volleyball hosts Miami (OH) at 7 p.m. on Friday at McGurik Arena.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.

And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” Steve Jobs
