$695,000 spent on Event Center renovation issues

Off-campus recycling championed by leaders

Funds not included in board’s approved $750,000 allocation

Process requires collaboration with university, community

By Carisa Seltz Senior Reporter

An extra $695,000 was spent for Event Center renovation issues, design errors and omissions before the CMU Board of Trustees allocated $750,000. The original budget of $21.5 million included $695,000 in contingency funds, but the board approved an additional $750,000 for the project at its Sept. 23 meeting. Additional funds were needed because the design plans, provided by Smith Group Inc., allegedly included costly errors, said Steve Lawrence, associate vice president of facilities management. “In this particular project, the number of these items and the cost to correct them exceeded our percent of (original) contingency dollars available,” Lawrence said. He said CMU will attempt to recoup money from the design firm. Smith Group was not available for comment. The mediation process will start if the two parties cannot come to an agreement, Lawrence said. Negotiations could be compromised if the list of design errors was published. He said negotiations will be tough, but Smith Group has been cooperative. “They’ve been putting in a (great) amount of time to make sure the project will meet its completion day,” he said.

slice of life Kendo Club teaches respect with Japanese martial art, group president says By Michael L. Hoffman | Staff Reporter

he “way of the sword” does not end when members of CMU’s Kendo Club remove their armor and leave the arena. The fencing-like sport teaches many things participants can apply to the rest of their lives, club president Tyler Dunham said. “Kendo is about a lot of things,” the Remus senior said. “It’s very ritualistic, it’s about respect and becoming a better person.” Dunham first got involved with the Kendo Club when he was a freshman. “I just happened to meet the old president and I already did martial arts,” he said. “Then eventually I took over.” Currently, the club has about six members, Dunham said. New to the art of Kendo, is Troy freshman Christina Cornell. Cornell said she first discovered the Kendo Club at MAINstage in August. “I had been mildly interested before,” she said, “But never had the chance to do it and I asked Tyler about it and it seemed cool.” She said she has really enjoyed her involvement in the club so far. China freshman Jiao Liang said he enjoys the environment and drive of Kendo.

Remus senior Tyler Dunham practices Tuesday night. Kendo, the “Way of the Sword,” is a sport derived from Japanese swordsmanship.

“I like to do some competition and fighting,” he said. “But I didn’t want to use my fists, that’s why I like it.” The club’s highest ranking member is Wenjie Wei, a China freshman. He joined the club this semester, but brought a fair amount of experience with him from home. “I have been doing it a long time,” Wei said. “It can be so addictive.” Dunham said there is a lot of time and devotion needed to be fully involved in Kendo. The sport is much more complex than it first appears, he said. Care must be taken to learn all of its associated rules and rituals. “Like any Japanese martial art,” Dunham said. “It takes a lot of work and dedication.” He said because the sport is relatively expensive, there are no dues to join. The sword, or shinai, is the main tool of Kendo practitioners, and also the least expensive, ranging from around $20 and up, Dunham said.

The armor, however, usually costs several hundred dollars. But the costs of the sport should not deter those interested, he said, as the lessons learned doing Kendo can be applied throughout life. It doesn’t end in the dojo, the place of learning, but reaches into everything you do. Among the values learned in Kendo, one rises above all others — respect. “(Kendo) makes you more respectful and that’s why we do it,” Dunham said. “It’s very ritualistic, you learn to be very respectful and maintain yourself and your equipment.” He said Kendo isn’t for everyone, however. It must be taken seriously. “You can be nice and respectful in the dojo and leave and be a (jerk), you’re not really getting it,” Dunham said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Ashley Hehl’s house on University Street is piled high with old bottles, egg cartoons and plastic bags. But the Coopersville senior isn’t too lazy to clean up — she is trying to save the environment. Hehl is just one of many CMU students who moved off campus to find there is no recycling option available to them. The Student Government Association is trying to change this inconvenience by making recycling accessible for all CMU students — on campus or off. “It would make it a lot easier, we would definitely recycle more,” Hehl said. “We don’t just throw (recyclables) in the trash to go to the curb, but it is a lot harder because we need to take it to a recycling bin ourselves.” Chair of Student Services Zac Kaczanowski is heading up the project for the SGA. He said the ultimate goal is to place a recycling bin next to every garbage bin. Kaczanowski, a Rochester Hills senior, is collecting 6,000 signatures from CMU students to show there is a demand for more bins around town. So far, 1,000 signatures have been obtained. “There is a need for students who do want to do recycling off campus,” Kaczanowski said. “I’ve never had someone tell me they don’t believe in this position. It’s been an ongoing thing, the gears have just started to grind.” Kaczanowski said the real problem lies with who is going to cover the costs of the endeavor. Though Kaczanowski has not gotten any estimates, he believes the project will be relatively cheap. Another challenge Kaczanowski said they will face is city regulations that limit the number of dumpsters you can have in some off-campus complexes. “City council will have to make new guidelines,” he said. “It has to be a collaborative thing.” Kaczanowski said he has spoken to one landlord and attended one city commission meeting about the issue.

Chippettes get back to their roots Students engage by teaching young dancers By Hailee Sattavara Staff Reporter

Smiling faces filled a room at Off-Broadway Performing Arts Studio as the CMU Chippettes and their youthful dance students filtered in. A few parents hovered in the lobby, eager to see the graceful moves their children would learn.

Sixteen focused 6- to 11year-old girls moved their feet in unison and walked sassy under the dance team’s instruction at the studio, 118 S. Washington St. Teaching these classes allows the Chippettes to work closer as a team, Melissa Scheid said. “It allows us to work together in a way we wouldn’t normally be able to during practice,” the Grand Rapids junior said. Scheid and Mount Pleasant sophomore Morgan Baumann are leaders on the team and together choreo-

graphed 90 percent of Saturday’s routines. For most of the class, the girls and Chippettes split up into two groups learning a jazz routine in one room and hip-hop in the other. Toward the end of the first class, they were reunited to show the other group, as well as their parents. “It’s a nice way to say ‘thank you,’ and I work here so it’s a good way to give back to the community,” Baumann said. This is one of many community service activities the group takes part in, Scheid

said. They worked to be personable and encourage their students Saturday morning, paying attention to each child. Milford junior Emma Coffman, like many of the girls on the team, honed her skills when they were younger in classes like this, she said. “It’s fun to see how the dance community environment has changed since we were this age,” she said. “It helps to learn from different teachers.” metro@cm-life.com

United Way asks students to give back

PHOTO OF THE DAY

By Melissa Beauchamp Staff Reporter

The United Way’s CMU campaign is almost halfway to its $99,999 goal. As of last week, $56,905.66 had been raised, said Stan Shingles, co-chair of the CMU fund drive and vice president of University Recreation. “It’s about our community and serving individuals in our tough economic times,” Shingles said. “There is a lack of food, clothing and shelter that people in our community don’t have. It’s about helping others in need.” United Way of Isabella County hopes to raise $480,000 by January 2011, said Nichole Bliss, the

nonprofit’s executive director. This money will fund heath and human services programs for the American Red Cross and Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Our mission is to engage citizens in the community-wide effort to support human services that impact people’s lives,” Bliss said. The money will also go toward Child and Family Enrichment Council, Salvation Army, Women’s Aid and 21 other agencies. Several student organizations and individual residence halls are participating in fundraisers for the United Way, Shingles said. CMU has been proactive in

trying to make the goal. Most recently, campus dining had a flex donation drive, Shingles said. Faculty and student employees also have the opportunity to donate through payroll deduction. Last year, CMU increased the goal for the United Way funding, despite the economic times, Shingles said. Although CMU did not meet the goal last year, the university is taking on the challenge again this year. Students are very supportive and generous of causes at CMU, said Kim Voisin, assistant director of Residence Life. “United Way is an organization that gives back,” she said. metro@cm-life.com

alleged errors has yet to be determined. Lawrence said there’s no telling how long the potential mediation process could take. He said the university will have a better idea of what it will try to recover after construction is complete. “We haven’t finished the project so we don’t have a real firm number yet,” Lawrence said. Not all the funds Lawrence said CMU will not try to recoup all the contingency funds spent in the Events Center project because some costs were because of legitimately unforeseen conditions, or owner requests by CMU. “We’re not going to try and recoup all that money (from Smith Group) because it’s not appropriate,” he said. Stan Shingles, assistant vice president of University Recreation, events and conferences, said outdated building codes from the 1970s and unknown structural issues with the existing facility contributed to the design problems. “When we started talking about blending the old with the new, there were so many unknown factors that just popped up,” he said in a previous interview with CM Life. Lawrence said the original building blueprints didn’t depict what was actually behind the walls or underground, in some cases, which required contingency dollars to fix. Manuel Rupe, CMU’s general counsel, said the university supports mediation as an alternative dispute resolution process because it often leads to an

to recycling. “There is a lot of red tape that goes into a thing like this,” Mouzourakis said. “Right now, we’re in an information gathering state and trying to gain interest. It’s really sad that students who live off campus have no opportunity to recycle and I know they would if they had the opportunity.” studentlife@cm-life.com

agreement in a more timely and less costly manner than litigation. Rupe didn’t know the ratio of mediated disputes versus litigation cases CMU has undergone in its history. But he said nearly every construction related dispute typically goes to mediation first. “Many engineering, design and construction contracts provide for mediation as a first step in resolving disputes that the parties to a contract cannot resolve themselves,” Rupe said. “Mediation allows a third party, the mediator, who has expertise in dealing with such disputes to work with the parties to seek a fair resolution.” university@cm-life.com

mount pleasant Residents take a spooky angle in latest haunted house By Jordan Spence | Staff Reporter

isitors to the Haunted Castle of Pickard Street are warned “crybabies and bedwetters beware.” The latest Mount Pleasant haunting consists of 16 themed rooms, inside a 10,000 square foot warehouse space at 711 W. Pickard St. Terry Slaggert designed and operates the castle with the help from family, friends and volunteers. He said the haunt is another facet of the convention business he and his family own, Mid States Exposition Services Inc. “I get a lot of joy when people leave the castle scared while having smiles on their faces,” said Terry’s father, Al Slaggert. Terry said it’s been an entertaining challenge. His favorite part of the haunted castle is watching human nature and how people react. “It’s interesting to see some stuff may scare some people while it may not scare others,” Terry said. Depending on the night, they have four to 20 people volunteering either by scaring the customers or working behind the scenes. Scott Woods, a friend of Terry’s, said he helps with the mechanics of the show or by acting in it.

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “It has helped me get out of my daily routine.” Woods’ wife and 11-year-old daughter also get into character scaring people around the castle. He said his daughter gets a big kick out of it and it has helped her to get out and interact with people in a new way. It only takes Woods about a minute and a half to get dressed up, but other volunteers can take an hour to put on make-up, Woods said, depending on how far people want to take it. “It’s great when you can do something to strike emotion and see your audience’s reaction immediately,” he said. Some people react so strongly after traveling through the castle they ask about how to

get involved. Another volunteer, Novi sophomore Jack Petroskey decided to help at the castle after driving by a sign advertising the spooky spectacle. Petroskey said volunteering at the castle has been an interesting way to fulfill his community service hours for ENG 234: Introduction to Literary Analysis. After he puts on his costume, Petroskey said he picks out a couple spots and hides, or just follows people around to creep them out. “The funniest is when dads or boyfriends put their daughters or girlfriends in the way as a shield,” Petroskey said. The Haunted Castle will be open everyday next week from 6 p.m. to midnight until Halloween. Tickets are $17 per person, but children 13 to 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Children under 13 are not permitted. For a $2 discount, attendees can donate three non-perishable items for the Isabella County Women’s and Children’s Society Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. metro@cm-life.com

Touchy subject

pending $100,000 on 10 touch-screen computers meant to be used primarily as directories in the Education and Human Services Building is a senseless misappropriation of university money. The units are going to be used as a map, directory, to list events and provide advertising space. Seven of them would be installed in the EHS Building, one in Wightman Hall, one in Finch Fieldhouse and another kept as a mobile unit in the EHS dean’s office. While it is understandable that

the university wants the EHS Building to be a showcase, this is an excessive expenditure. Questions need to be answered, such as what these touch-screen units can do that makes them worth $10,000 each and what they are going to be used for that a $499 iPad or other consumer-grade touch-screen

computer cannot do. Also needing clarification is why, exactly, it was decided for seven of these units be installed in the EHS Building, and only two elsewhere on campus. Is the EHS Building that important, while other buildings fall in disrepair? Wouldn’t such a resource be just as valuable or even moreso if they were placed where a majority of students congregate or pass through, such as the Charles V. Park Library or Bovee University Center? Does the fact we are spending $100,000 on electronic decorations for a select portion of campus mean that the university will not have to spend more money to prevent heavy flooding in classroom buildings? Having such a resource as a

readily handy map and directory of campus is certainly valuable, but is it $10,000-per-unit valuable? And why should this resource be focused primarily on one classroom building? Perhaps these touch-screen units will be advanced enough to do students’ homework for them, or maybe nobody notified the university that touch-screen technology is becoming increasingly affordable. At this point, it is difficult to tell. The waiting game won’t be played for long, however, as the units are planned to be in place by mid-November. Within the next month, students will be able to decide for themselves whether or not this was a prudent use of $100,000 of their tuition money.

Vote for policy, not personal life Toni Sessoms is a Democrat running for state representative for the 99th District, which encompasses Isabella County and a few townships in Midland County. Sessoms has worked as a nurse, then in ministry after earning a master’s degree in Divinity. She now works as an attorney helping families return to their normal lives and is a small business owner. Toni Sessoms also happens to be a lesbian. She has been with her partner Tammy for more than 10 years. They own a home and a farm together in Deerfield Township. Having seen them together a few times, I can say they are among the most committed and loving couples I have ever known; that they are both women is an afterthought. This past Saturday, an automated phone call went out to the voters in the 99th District which brutally attacked Sessoms for being a lesbian. The message was from Gary Glenn, president of the conservative American Family Association of Michigan, and a supporter of Sessoms’ Republican opponent, Kevin Cotter. According to the call, Sessoms is unable to share our values and is dangerous because she was born a lesbian. The call rambled on about the number of gay people who work on the Sessoms campaign, saying that her campaign manager is a lesbian, which, other than being a total non-issue, is factually wrong or just a lie. The Sessoms campaign manager is a woman who is happily married to a man and has adult children. Sadly, this negative ad is part of a larger campaign that happens every election year to distract people from issues. An election about the problems facing our state and our nation is something of a fairy tale. In the politics of today, elections are often popularity contests in which a candidate wins by most effectively defaming their opponent. Attacks against a candidate based on something so personal as who they are in love with is the slimiest of slimy attacks. In the 21st century, we owe our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters respect. They should not have to feel marginalized and scared. If someone is qualified for any job, who they are in love with should never enter the equation. Consider voting for Toni Sessoms based on her life experience and her positions on the issues. Ignore the negative ads. This community is counting on it.

Legislative term limits hurting government You are right to point out, as you do in (the Monday, Oct. 18) editorial, that the effect of partisan politics has been a problem for state government. What you seem to miss, however, is a broader problem that can only be corrected by a constitutional convention. Since 1992, there has been a growing and systemic lack of leadership, statesmanship and institutional memory in Michigan’s Legislature. The cause — legislative term limits — has been widely recognized as a huge mistake, which has led to a weakened, unseasoned body of

lawmakers who lack the hindsight necessary to develop effective foresight. Voters have been deprived of the opportunity to re-elect leaders who may just have developed the vision necessary to see us through the tough times. The implication is that voters lack the wisdom to limit terms through elections alone and must therefore be protected from themselves. Of course, the leaders in both parties have kept several attempts to repeal limits from coming to the floor because of their ties to the special interests who represent their future endeavors.

And of course, both candidates for governor oppose the Con Con because it may distract from the illusion that the Executive is the strongest and most effective branch in state government. Much has been made of the projected cost of $50 million over the three years the Convention may take. A small price to pay in comparison to the $546 million that will be spent on cigarettes by children alone over the same span, I think. James Batcheller Associate Professor of Music

Student for Cotter in 99th District race As a CMU student, I am supporting Kevin Cotter for the 99th District State House seat. Kevin is committed to turning our economy around. By eliminating the Michigan Business tax, current businesses will be able to grow again. This means more jobs for those of us who wish to stay in Michigan after graduation. Aside from helping our businesses to once again flourish, Kevin would like to create a part-time legislature, and he believes that the

legislators should be required to repay the state for every missed day of work. Furthermore, Kevin believes that all government spending should be posted online. Government is meant to serve the people, and not the other way around. With Kevin Cotter as our representative, we will know where our money is going. Kevin is also a CMU alumnus, and was born and raised in Mount Pleasant. He is an accessible member of the community who

is genuinely interested in hearing from those he wishes to serve. By sending a fellow Chip to Lansing, CMU will gain a helpful advocate as the state government decides how to apportion funding. Kevin is the man we need in Lansing. As students in Michigan, we should vote for Kevin Cotter for our next 99th District representative. Megan Gill Traverse City sophomore

Plan for tragedy While sitting in class one day, a random thought came to my head: What if some demented serial killer ran into the class and decided to shoot as many people as possible? Shooting incidents and safety procedures should not only be accessible for those who seek it. With papers due, upcoming tests and involvement in various registered student organizations, the average student does not think of emergency situation procedures from day to day. Information on shooting situations and general campus safety should be within easy access for all. The Virginia Tech shooting was the deadliest shooting in U.S. history and its school placed procedures on preventing and surviving school shooter incidents after 32 people were killed. The biggest problem with scenarios like this is the fact that people often believe it could never happen. With this mindset, we are not prepared if someone ever went on a killing spree. For example, the Virginia Tech Review Panel found that schools should check the hardware on exterior doors to ensure that they cannot be chained shut. There may be doors in CMU that can be chained shut. Are all of them checked? Northern Illinois University suffered a shooter situation as well and like Virginia Tech did not place procedures of safety and survival until after the shooting. The State of Illinois Campus Security Task Force Report found that colleges and universities should have training with the National Incident Management System. There is always room for improvement in campus safety. We also have Safe Rides and the blue light emergency system. The locations of the blue lights should be posted around campus or incorporated on some map inside of dorms, so students know where to find them. We also have Central Alert, an emergency notification system where information is provided via phone, e-mail or text. Instead of “interested” students, faculty and staff, this should be required, so those “interested” will not be the only survivors when an emergency occurs. It is important for everyone to be notified of an emergency situation. On the CMU police website, I found stuff that otherwise I would have never known like the Sexual Assault Response Pledge. Information like this should be included in orientation materials. “Shots Fired,” presented by the Center for Personal Protection and Safety, is a video designed to provide guidance on how to recognize and survive an active shooter situation. “Shots Fired” could perhaps be incorporated in the freshman orientation presentations much like “No Zebras, No Excuses” has been. The most crucial thing to remember in the prevention of our school being in the news at the hands of a mass murderer or emergency situation is to be prepared and to realize that anything is possible.

A ‘Big’ Bash

residence life

Just 43 rooms house five students Number down from 300 at year’s start By Heather Hillman Senior Reporter

Students, community members mingle with kids By Elizabeth Gbadamosi Staff Reporter

Grand Rapids freshman Tyler Allen talks with his little for the day, Jack Wiggins, 7, of Sanford Saturday during the Creepy Crawly Costume Bash at the West Midland Family Center, 4011 W. Isabella Road. Students from Big Brothers Big Sisters spent the day doing different Halloween themed activities with their littles.

“I love working with kids and what better organization to partner with than Big Brothers Big Sisters? They were so excited when we told them about it.”

Nearly 300 rooms of freshman students in the residence halls were filled with five people at the start of the year together in a space traditionally meant for four. Associate Director of Residence Life Shaun Holtgreive said the number of rooms still in expanded occupancy is down to 43 as of Oct. 17. Ten of the rooms have recently been offered the chance to move and are in the process of moving or making the decision to move. In addition, 45 rooms have voluntarily chosen to remain in expanded occupancy. Holtgreive said students usually have two to four days to decide whether they would like to move out or stay. “We’re finding it takes people longer to make the decision,” Holtgreive said. “We’re at the part of the year where people have established friendships and if the new room isn’t in the same hall it makes it harder for them to move.” Samantha Floen is one of the many students who decided to stay in expanded occupancy. In a previous inter-

view, the Royal Oak freshman said despite the name confusion she faces in her room where three Samantha’s and two Sarah’s reside, living with four others was better than she anticipated. “I didn’t think it was going to be terrible but it definitely worked out better than I thought,” Floen said. “If it had been really bad I probably would have left but luckily that didn’t happen — we have fun.” Floen’s roommate Samantha Legere said living in the tighter packed room has been a lot less stressful than she thought. Legere said the only thing she feels they are missing out on is having a living room setting in the middle room like most others in residence halls enjoy. “We definitely lack space,” the Oscoda freshman said. “We are constantly cleaning and rearranging things because if there is any mess it all it gets in each other’s space.” Holtgreive said there is no estimated

time frame for when all rooms in expanded occupancy will have been given the option to move. Overall, he said he believes the transitions from room to room and the living situations in expanded occupancy have gone as well as can be expected. “In general things have gone smoothly,” Holtgreive said. “Students are far more resilient than people give them credit for. It’s pretty easy to find ways to accommodate a fifth person if everyone gets along.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Most of the children are in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, but some were community members. The free, non-profit event was a way for children, even those who couldn’t afford costumes, to celebrate Halloween in a safe and happy environment. “This is what I want to do after graduation,” said Detroit senior Antasia Maddox, a Big Brothers Big Sisters intern. “It’s such a great organization and it truly only takes one person to change

SHEPHERD — Niles graduate student Thomas Payne and seven-year-old Andey Strand are wrap stars. The duo, dressed as Super Mariomushroom and Luigi, won the mummy-wrapping competition at the Creepy Crawly Costume Bash Saturday at the West Midland Family Center, 4011 W. Isabella Road. The event was put on by students from RPL 430: Planning Recreation Programs and Events, which partnered with Big Brothers Big Sisters “I love working with kids and what better organization to partner with than Big Brothers Big Sisters?” said Lansing senior Emily Nuss. “They were so excited when we told them about it.” The RPL students were put into groups to put on their own community service event, said Liviona junior Tricia Deboer. “We started on the first day of class, so we only had a short time to get everything together,” Deboer said. “I’m really pleased with the way everything turned out.” Children up to age 12, their ‘bigs,’ and some of their parents got their faces painted, decorated cookies, made paper masks and played Halloween bingo. Colorful decorations covered the entire gymnasium. Children from princess, to wizards, and even a feisty Lady Gaga could be seen prancing from each fun station to the next.

‘Pink’ Twitter campaign raises money for cancer research Social media’s effectiveness for philanthropy debated By Michael L. Hoffman Staff Reporter

greek life

Fraternity raises funds, scares students with Haunted Campus

“One of the great things about social media, is that it’s a great way to get the word out about anything, whether it’s cancer research, or anything else.”

By Joe Borlik Staff Reporter

Nicole Yelland, CMU alumnus cal passivity,” meaning PayPal can just count on others to do the money raising for them. “My feeling is that it is less about the money and more about political passivity,” Rudy said. “Social network politics, unless it translates into people becoming sustainably and interactively involved in social change strikes me as mostly ineffectual in that it is politics without politics.” The main problem with philanthropy within the realm of social media and the Internet is that it doesn’t often foster sustainable, long-term support, he said. “Social networking can be a decent forum for philanthropy,” Rudy said. “But taking on cancer, addressing climate change, fighting racism, promoting religiosity ... these things are only addressed by proxy via philanthropy. Real social change takes something more robust, more sustained, more critical, more interactive, more engaged, more complex, more fraught and more difficult.” Yelland, however, sees social media as a way for those already involved in a cause to spread their message to others in hopes that they too will take up the cause. “I think for a lot of people, it’s a great way to share causes they are interested in,” she said. Result According to www.beatcancerever ywhere.com, PayPal along with the company SWAGG decided to donate more than the original five cents because PayPal did not meet their original goal.PM 3:15:38 The website said although

they did not beat their record -setting number of 209,771 mentions of “#beatcancer” within a 24 hour period, they decided to increase their donations to match the $20,000 mark. Yelland said she thinks a lot of people thought the “#beatcancer” hashtag was originally not affiliated with any company specifically. “I have seen the hashtag before,” she said. “But I didn’t know exactly what it was ... There have been so many causes I have found out because of social media.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Robert VanBuskirk loves scaring people. The Port Huron senior said his favorite way to scare anyone is to get them multiple times at once. “You scare them once, then while they’re screaming, you have someone else come up from another angle and scare them even more,” he said. VanBuskirk had many opportunities for scaring over the weekend. He and several other members of the Alpha Phi Omega co-ed service fraternity, organized Haunted Campus at the Central Michigan University Disc Golf Course Friday and Saturday. Students walked through a wooded trail bounded with caution tape. They encountered five stations with different themes including a clown tent, the

haunted woods and a butcher station, VanBuskirk said. He said Alpha Phi Omega has been working on the event since the beginning of September. “It’s really fun and really scary,” Vanbuskirk said. “I enjoy scaring people. Who doesn’t?” Several students dressed as evil clowns, aliens and monsters and set up along the path. While heading down the trail, one student could be seen dressed as a butcher slicing up a corpse. A giant fake spider made an appearance on the trail — something Rochester Hills sophomore Rachel Couet said took her by surprise. But it was the people following her that frightened her the most. “It’s weird to have people following you,” Couet said. “I wasn’t expecting it at all.” St. Clair Shores sophomore Marie Morgan said she enjoyed the eeriness of the night and hanging out with her friends

on a Friday. “I’ve been to a few haunted houses that just weren’t worth the money,” Morgan said. “But this one I’d say go if you have an opportunity to.” Sterling Heights junior Stephanie Volos said she was most scared by a man holding a roaring chainsaw. She said there were some girls behind them that kept grabbing her out of fear of the guys following them. “It was better than I expected,” Volos said. VanBuskirk said all funds raised from the event will go toward Alpha Phi Omega’s community service program. He said Halloween is a great time of year because it lets people be something entirely different from themselves. “You get to change who you are and become someone new for that night.” studentlife@cm-life.com

PayPal tried to beat cancer, one tweet at a time. The online payment company donated five cents to Bright Pink every time a tweet was made including the hashtag “#beatcancer” in a tweet mentioning Livestrong’s Twitter account. Hashtags are phrases prefixed by a pound sign used to denote topics on Twitter. The one day campaign was on Oct. 15. Bright Pink’s website said it is devoted to providing “education and support to young women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer.” Jackie Reissman, a PayPal spokeswoman, said in an e-mail the goal was to raise $20,000 for Bright Pink via Twitter. CMU alumnus Nicole Yelland, brand manager for Livio Radio, said she thinks social media can be a great way to raise awareness for causes, such as the “#beatcancer” cause. “One of the great things about social media, is that it’s a great way to get the word out about anything, whether it’s cancer research, or anything else,” Yelland said. Social media is a great way for people to get involved in something like cancer prevention. Alan Rudy, associate professor of sociology, said in an e-mail though the thought is good, $20,000 is unfortunately insignificant. “$10 to $20,000 is nothing to sneeze at — though, depending on what Livestrong’s overhead costs are, less than that will go to cancer R&D,” Rudy said.

Soccer one game out of first By Josh Berenter Staff Reporter

JOE TOBIANSKI/staff photographer

Toledo junior midfielder dribbles past CMU freshman midfielder Tammy Long on Friday afternoon at the Scott Park Soccer Complex in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo beat CMU 1-0, taking sole possession of first place in the Mid-American Conference.

The CMU women’s soccer team improved its Mid-American Conference record to 9-1 Sunday after beating Ball State 2-0 in Muncie, Ind. The Chippewas (12-4-1 overall) suffered their first defeat in MAC play Friday when they lost to Toledo, but CMU was able to bounce back and beat Ball State in the team’s final regular season road game. Sophomore forward Laura Twidle provided the scoring, netting her fifth and sixth goals of the season. She scored the first goal of the game in the 12th minute on an assist

from sophomore midfielder Ashley Mejilla. Both teams had to endure an hour-long lightning delay prior to the second half, but it didn’t slow CMU down, as it kept its composure and controlled the tempo in the second half. Twidle added her second goal of the day in the 63rd minute on a penalty kick after Ball State committed a foul in the box. Twidle’s six goals and 14 points lead the team. Head coach Tom Anagnost said his team has responded well after coming off a loss. CMU is 2-1-1 following a defeat this season. He said he was happy with how his team matched Ball State’s physicality and aggressive play.

“It was a very different match because it was extraordinarily physical,” he said. “A couple girls kept their composure while they dealt with how the opponent was playing. I’m proud of how they handled that.” The physical play came to a head in the 61st minute when a BSU player was given a red card, giving the Chippewas a one-player advantage the rest of the game. Including the red card, the teams combined for 35 fouls, and Ball State was charged with three yellow cards. CMU was able to capitalize playing 11-on-10, with Twidle’s goal two minutes after the red card was

Fricke plays fourth quarter after starter throws three picks By Aaron McMann Sports Editor

DeKALB, Ill. — The Ryan Radcliff era may be ending before it ever really got going. Given the dubious task of trying to pick up where Dan LeFevour left off last season, the sophomore quarterback has appeared to struggle at points under the new offense installed by first-year head coach Dan Enos. His 2,210 yards passing leads the Mid-American Conference, but the numbers have not accurately reflected his full performance this season, which includes more interceptions (14) thrown than touchdowns. And it all came to a head Saturday in CMU’s 33-7 loss against Northern Illinois when Enos benched Radcliff following his starter’s Ryan Radcliff third interception of the game. Junior Brandon Fricke replaced Radcliff for the entire fourth quarter. “At times, I think he’s improved dramatically, and then I think there’s times he’s taken steps back,” Enos said. “I thought he took a step back (Saturday).” Enos called Radcliff’s performance, in which he went 17-for-25 for 178 yards for one touchdown and three interceptions, “very, very poor.” Fricke, a junior college transfer who came to CMU over the summer, went 4-for-8 for 33 yards and an interception, highlighted by a 19-yard pass to sophomore wide receiver Cody Wilson.

‘Shake it up’ Enos said he wanted to shake it up and send a message to Radcliff, while also giving Fricke an opportunity to show what he could do. “Having played that position and coached it for a long time, sometimes you got to get yanked and take a different perspective for a little while,” Enos said. “He’s responded very well. We didn’t really put him in a position to give him two ways to respond. We told him he better respond one way.” Radcliff began Saturday’s game 5-for-7, but could not sustain a drive to show for it. On CMU’s third drive of the game, he showed signs of good play, hitting senior Kito Poblah on two separate occasions, including the team’s only touchdown. But a pair of sacks in the fourth drive and interception with less than six minutes remaining in the second quarter stifled the Chippewas defense and appeared to rattle Radcliff. He followed up on the next possession with his second pick of the game. As of now, Enos said Radcliff is still the starter for Saturday’s game against Bowling Green, but the decision is not final and will be determined this week in practice. “We’ll evaluate it and see who we feel gives us the best change to win, but it probably will be Ryan Radcliff,” he said. sports@cm-life.com

BLACK AND BRUISED Mistakes, inept offense doom CMU again as injuries begin to pile up

By Aaron McMann | Sports Editor

eKALB, Ill. – The more things change for the Central Michigan football team, the more they stay the same . Entering Saturday’s game against Northern Illinois, CMU desperately needed a win to stop the bleeding in a season that is quickly turning into a nightmare. But just like so many games before, turnovers and mistakes on the defensive side of the ball resulted in its fifth consecutive loss, a 33-7 defeat in front of 17,042 at Huskie Stadium. “It’s like I told our team after (the game), I don’t want to hear guys yelling and screaming and banging lockers,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “It’s time to buck up. Everyone in the room is involved in the loss and our start.” The loss drops the team to 2-6 overall and breaks the program’s streak of five winning seasons. At 1-4 in the Mid-American Conference, CMU moves into sole possession of last place in the West Division. Eastern Michigan (1-7, 1-3 MAC) is now half a game ahead in the standings after losing a non-conference game against Virginia on Saturday. CMU played well defensively in the first half. The team limited NIU to three field goals and

65 yards on the ground, keeping in check MAC-leading rusher Chad Spann. But Spann came out on a mission in the second half, rushing for 46 yards and back-to-back touchdowns in the third quarter to blow open the Huskies’ 9-7 halftime lead. He finished with a game-high 101 total yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries, while junior Cameron Bell rushed 12 times for 82 yards. “The adjustments were there; it was just a matter of guys missing tackles,” said senior linebacker Nick Bellore, who finished with a game-high 14 tackles. “Guys are just not making plays when we need to. That’s been the story of our season, and that’s why we’re 2-6.” Once again, the team had A LOSS | 4B

Northern Illinois was limited to nine points (three field goals) and 65 yards rushing, but running back Chad Spann turned it on in the second half, rushing for a game-high 101 yards and three touchdowns. Injuries are also taking a toll on the secondary as Jahleel Addae went out with an injury.

Volleyball evens conference record CMU 4-1 against MAC East opponents By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan volleyball team looked down and out two weeks ago after losing an ugly match at home against rival Western Michigan. With the loss, the team fell to last place in the Mid-American Conference West Division with a 1-5 conference record. Hardly what most predicted when the season began. Shaken but not defeated, CMU stayed in the locker room longer than usual after the game, seemingly to talk about what they wanted to accomplish. Since that night, the Chippewas have been a different team, winning their last four matches. The winning streak continued over the weekend, with CMU sweeping the University at Buffalo 25-21, 25-15 and 25-17 Saturday in Buffalo, N.Y. On Friday, it beat MAC East contender Akron 3-1 (2518, 19-25, 25-21 and 25-22) at Rhodes Arena in Akron, Ohio. The wins improved their record to .500 overall at 11-11 and more importantly evened their conference record at 5-5.

“We have been playing some good volleyball as of late, and tonight we were really firing on all cylinders. It’s good to see.” Erik Olson, head coach “This was an important weekend for us,” said head coach Erik Olson. “We have been playing some good volleyball as of late, and tonight we were really firing on all cylinders. It’s good to see.” The Bulls did their best to hang in, but seemed overmatched by a CMU attack led by junior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz, who finished with a match-high 14 kills and .636 hitting percentage. But she was not alone, as the team featured a diverse attack that saw three players reach double-digit kills. Sophomore Lindsey Dulude and senior Lauren Krupsky each had 10 and 11 kills, respectively, while sophomores Katie Schuette and Val DeWeerd each contributed five kills. Defensively, they were led by Schuette and Kelsey Detweiler, who each had 10 digs. Junior setter Catherine Ludwig had 37 assists Kaitlyn Schultz’s 17 kills and .571 hitting percentage led the way for the team against Akron. Dulude had 11

kills while Val DeWeerd and Lauren Krupsky added 10 and 9, respectively. Senior Lisa Johnson had 14 digs and Catherine Ludwig had 41 assists. All of the wins on the win streak have come against MAC East opponents, and the Chippewas are now 4-1 against the division this season, a stark contrast from the 1-4 mark against teams from the West, Olson said while playing the conference’s tougher division may lead to losses, playing tough matches can only benefit the team in the end. “I think were already battle tested,” he said. “We knew the division would be tough, we just have to keep battling.” The team returns home with a chance to extend their winning streak to five when they face in-state rival Eastern Michigan at 7 p.m. Thursday at Finch Fieldhouse before hitting the road to play at Kent State at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. sports@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan Exiles celebrate after playing Grand Valley State University during the club rugby team’s last game of the season at the Intramural Fields. The Exiles tied GVSU 17-17.

Club rugby ties GVSU to end season Both teams miss opportunities to take lead By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

In a season that has been filled with ups and downs, the Central Michigan Exiles club rugby team ended its season on a neutral note Saturday with a 17-17 tie with Grand Valley State. Played in the rain and mud, the game was sloppy as neither team seemed to be able to take full control at any point of the match. Grand Valley scored first with a try to give it an early lead on the Exiles (2-3-1). Grand Valley would fail the conversion though, making the game 5-0. CMU would answer quickly with a try of its own by sophomore lock Mike Fleming. Cocaptain David Sands added on the conversion, making

the score 7-5. Sands, a junior, would also add a drop goal — much like kicking a field goal in football — making the score 10-5 at half. “We were excited and playing really well in the first half,” said eighth man Patrick Keady. GVSU came out firing in the second half, quickly answering CMU’s drop goal with another try to tie the game at 10, but once again missed the conversion. After the try, both teams had plenty of opportunities to take the lead but neither team could finish out once they got close to the opponent’s goal. It wasn’t till later in the second half that the Exiles gained one last try by winger Andrew Stead. Sands converted another conversion, putting CMU ahead 17-10. But, once again, GVSU quickly answered back with a try and conversion, evening the score at 17, where it would end.

CMU ends its season on a tie, something the players would not have preferred, but looks at it as giving an already young team more experience heading into the spring season. “End the season with a tie is kind of weird not by any means what we wanted, I felt we should have won.” Keady said. “The guys played well, but I don’t come out here not lose. I’m here to win.” For some players, it was the last time they would be suiting up for the Exiles. Senior Eric Jacovetti, one of the leaders on the team, graduates from CMU in December. He’s been playing rugby for seven years. “For a lot of young guys, there is going to be a transition period in the spring to develop, work together, build comradery and keep composure on and off the field.” Jacovetti said. “Hopefully, they will do me proud.” sports@cm-life.com

CMU freshman goaltender Brandon Allor stops U-M’s forward Sean Cirbrus on Sunday afternoon at Mount Pleasant Ice Arena.

Club hockey winning streak over By Jeff LaHaye Staff Reporter

The CMU club hockey team had its five-game winning streak snapped Sunday with a 8-5 loss against Michigan at the Mount Pleasant Ice Arena. CMU was confident as it won against U-M last time the teams met. They showed their confidence in the first period and capitalized on early scoring chances, taking a

3-1 lead going into the second period. In the second period, CMU wouldn’t be so lucky. The second period started and U-M took advantage of CMU’s flat play to score five times. “I don’t know why the team came out flat in the second. It still confuses me,” said head coach Mike Willett. “It’s a consistency issue and we need to play 100 percent all game.” Although Michigan scored five goals, CMU was able to keep the game close, scoring

two goals and cutting Michigan’s lead to 6-5 entering the third period. “We had too many mistakes and it was the little mistakes that cost us,” said freshman goalie Brandon Allor. In the third period, Michigan continued its supremacy on the ice and scored two more goals while holding CMU scoreless in the period. CMU hosts DePaul at 9 p.m. Friday and 4 p.m. Saturday. sports@cm-life.com

assessed. Anagnost said he is impressed with Twidle’s offensive performance this season. “She’s a clinical finisher. I wish we had more like that in

front of the goal,” he said. “She puts the ball where she wants to, and hopefully other players on the team can emulate that.” CMU has put a lot of pressure on opponents with its offensive attack. It outshot the Cardinals 24-7 on Sunday, while holding a 6-1 advantage on corner kicks. In the

loss Friday against Toledo, the Chippewas outshot the Rockets 23-4 with a 7-2 edge on corners. The Chippewas return to action at 3 p.m. Thursday in the regular season finale against Eastern Michigan at the CMU Soccer Complex. sports@cm-life.com

troubles getting its offense going. After finding senior wide receiver Kito Poblah for an 11-yard touchdown pass early in the second quarter, giving the Chippewas their only lead of the game, sophomore quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw two interceptions on back-to-back possessions to NIU linebacker Tyrone Clark. Radcliff, who finished 17-of-25 for 178 yards and a touchdown, added another pick in the third quarter before he was benched in the fourth for junior Brandon Fricke. Senior Carl Volny provided one of the few bright spots in the absence of junior Paris Cotton, who sat out because of injury. Volny had a season-high 65 yards, while sophomore Zurlon Tipton added 31 yards. “We’re trying to be a balanced offense,” Volny said. “Our mentality was to run the ball, and it did work in the first half. When we came out in the second half, we didn’t execute.” Injuries take toll Enos said the number of inexperienced players out of position isn’t helping, either.

Junior Rocky Weaver, who has struggled at times replacing Jake Olson at left tackle, played with a cast on a broken wrist. To make matters worse, the secondary took another hit as safety Jahleel Addae and cornerback Anthony Hollis each left the game with injuries and did not return. “(We’re) rotating and revolving people all over the place,” Enos said. “That’s just how the season’s going. Is it frustrating? Yeah.”

CMU dominated by Ohio, Kent State By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

The Central Michigan field hockey team was outscored 11-1 this weekend in its losses to Ohio and Kent State. The team opened the weekend with a 3-0 loss to Ohio before being on the receiving side of an 8-1 blowout Sunday at Kent State. “Kent played really well and we missed Brooke and Paulina in our lineup and that experience that they bring us,” said Coach Cristy Freese. “I think that even though Brooke’s only one player defensively, I think you can see we struggled defensively.” Kent State (12-6, 7-2 MidAmerican Conference) scored early and often Sunday, starting in the seventh minute when junior Debbie Bell found the back of the net. Freshman Rebecca Lee and Bell added goals in the 10th and 12th minute, respectfully, giving the Bobcats a threegoal lead. CMU senior Pam Seufert scored her first goal of the season on a rebound off a shot by sophomore Emily Girasole in the 22nd minute, but that was as far as the comeback attempt would get. KSU answered right back two minutes later when junior Carla Johl deflected a penalty corner shot from senior Rachel Miller past junior goaltender Anastasia Netto. “We need to learn to play the game and this is the first game in a while that we were effected by the goals scored against us,” Freese said. It didn’t take long for Bell to net her third goal of the game, coming out of the huddle. Less

than a minute into the half, Bell capitalized on a cross from senior Nicole Leach. Bell recorded her second hat trick of the season. She leads the conference with 20 goals, putting her in good position to win the MAC for the third consecutive year. Freshman Jaime Cutter replaced Netto, who allowed seven goals and made four saves in 41:43 minutes of play. Cutter gave up one goal while stopping five shots in her first collegiate appearance. “I was really pleased with Jaime,” Freese said. “She’s a freshman and she came in physically and mentally ready, and that’s what a backup needs to be able to do.” Miller capped off the KSU scoring with her ninth goal of the season in the 44th minute, sending a shot through Cutter’s legs. CMU (4-12, 2-6 MAC) lost the shots battle 19-5 and had only three penalty corners to Kent State’s nine Sunday. With the loss, CMU moves to a tie for last in the MAC with a 2-6 conference record, while KSU moves into first place with a 7-2 record. “We’ve been talking on the bus to make sure we can get over this game and move on and make some of the adjustments we have to make,” Freese said. Saturday After beating the defending MAC champions Ohio 2-1 in a shootout earlier in the season, the Chippewas were shut out 3-0 Saturday in Athens, Ohio. Ohio’s Taylor Brown opened up the scoring in the 8th minute, beating Netto on a penalty

corner. Brooke Edwards added two goals of her own, as CMU was shutout for the sixth time this season. “I don’t think that we played our best games this week,” Freese said. “We had a good week of practice and I felt the team was ready, but obviously we were inconsistent, even within the game, and so we aren’t able to get through some tough situations.” The team will play its final weekend of games before the conference tournament when they head to Miami Saturday and Ball State Sunday. Both games start at 1 p.m. sports@cm-life.com

or 20 minutes after the end of the second quarter, football teams have a chance to rest and prepare for the second half. During halftime, adjustments are made and sometimes an inspirational speech can follow. After Saturday’s 33-7 loss at Northern Illinois, I am really not sure what goes on in the Chippewas’ locker room during halftime. CMU went into half trailing by just two points. I will admit they were probably lucky to be only down by two, but the defense was playing great in the red zone and had the “bend but don’t break” scheme on full display, holding the Huskies to three field goals. But just like all season, CMU’s offense just kept on shooting itself in the foot. Every time the offense had a nice play, something would go wrong. It’s hard not to look at anybody else, but sophomore quarterback Ryan Radcliff. Radcliff had 154 yards and a touchdown in the first half, but threw two key interceptions that were deflected. As a starting quarterback, Radcliff should know not to throw low. So overall the first half was not bad, and I thought we might be in for a close game in which CMU might gain some respect and confidence. But football games are not won in the first half. I don’t know exactly what head coach Dan Enos said to his players at half, but he might want to think about trying something different. After only allowing 65 rushing yards in the entire first half, the Chippewas defense allowed 162 rushing yards in the third quarter alone. Three Spann touchdowns later and the game was over. The season was lost. And for the seniors on this team, an unfamiliar feeling set in. Senior linebacker Nick Bellore continues to blame himself for missing tackles after games and Enos continues to say they are looking for guys to make plays. Where is the team camaraderie? I hate to sound like I am saying the same thing and asking the same questions about this team, but I am hearing the same thing from the players and coaches after every loss. During the third quarter when the doors were being blown off the hinges by the Huskies, there was one play that really stood out to me. Trailing 16-7, the Chippewas had the ball just inside of NIU territory. At this point, they were still considered in the game and driving. It was fourth down and inches from the left hash and Enos immediately decided to go for it, which was expected. Radcliff handed the ball off to freshman Zurlon Tipton to the left side, the weak side of the field, and the play never had a chance. Tipton was wrapped up in the backfield as the offen-

John Evans Senior Reporter sive line just got bowled over. This was one play call that really bothered me during the game. There is only so much you can say about 33-7 loss to NIU. But it is way too early to be calling for a new coach. You have to give the guy a chance. Although it is a drastic change, I like the scheme and mentality he brings to this

team. Let’s see where things stand in a year or two. But that does not go without saying losses to Ball State and Miami (OH) this year are inexcusable. Now, with games remaining against rival Western Michigan, Navy and Toledo, it looks as if all three games are unattainable. But that doesn’t mean this team doesn’t have anything to play for. For the sake of the seniors, and for the future success of the program, Enos needs to bring this team together and show the fans there is still hope. Even if there isn’t, just beat the Broncos. Please. sports@cm-life.com
