Student dies from brain aneurysm Thursday By David Oltean Senior Reporter

Central Michigan University graduate student April Kristin Lucas died suddenly from a ruptured brain aneurysm on Thursday at 23 years old. Lucas, a Wixom native, was studying for a master’s de-

gree in Hospitality Services Administration after receiving her undergraduate degree last year. She was involved with the business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi and was employed at Buffalo Wild Wings, 1904 S. Mission St., for six years. April’s father, Harry Lucas, said his daughter was unique

and kind to others. Harry, a Wixom native, said some of April’s favorite hobbies included snowboarding and water sports. “She was always great at making people smile,” Harry said. “She just loved to have fun and be around her friends and she lived life to the fullest.”

Peggy Lucas, April’s stepmother, said April was an excellent student and followed her passions. She said April was involved with animal rescue and brought multiple pets home for the family to care for. “April did what April wanted to do, when April wanted to do it and not a second

sooner,” Peggy said. “There was just so much about her that was special.” Northville senior Bonnie Lentine was April’s roommate and one of her best friends. Lentine remembers April for her great energy that could make those around her smile. A APRIL | 2A

Faculty Association has counter offer By Theresa Clift University Editor

After rejecting the university’s “final offer” for a contract on Nov. 11, the Faculty Association has a counter offer, which it will present Tuesday. “The FA bargaining team reached out to the administration with a request to bargain,” FA President Laura Frey said in an email. An injunction signed by Isabella County Judge Paul H. Chamberlain will expire 20 business days after the fact-finder’s report was released. At that time, the FA can issue a job action, including a strike, as it did on Aug. 22. The 20-day period is scheduled to expire Nov. 30, Frey said. Fact-finder Barry Goldman released his nonbinding set of recommendations Oct. 31 to remedy the four-month contract

impasse. Goldman favored the university on salary and benefits and the FA in retirement and promotion issues. In the university’s final offer, CMU adopted all of Goldman’s recommendations and allowed FA members to keep MESSA as a primary insurance provider, under certain conditions. “I would reiterate that the university made its last, best and final offer to the FA with terms more generous than those contained in the fact-finder’s recommendations,” said Director of Public Relations Steve Smith in an email. Frey said a membership meeting to take a vote on the contract proposal or on another job action is not scheduled at this time. unive rs ity@cm-life.com

Bill approved requiring Pledge of Allegiance for students

Volleyball beats odds on way to NCAA tournament

It was 29 years ago when Senior Associate Athletics Director Marcy Weston led the women’s volleyball team to a 38-6 record and a Mid-American Conference championship game appearance. The volleyball team hasn’t appeared in the game again since 1982, until Sunday, when No. 6 CMU completed a Cinderella story by knocking off No. 1 Northern Illinois in five sets. Freshman Kaitlyn McIntyre spiked the ball for the winning point, sending the Chippewas to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history. The team capped off the improbable run after beating the top three teams in the tournament in three days, not losing a set in its first two matches. INSIDE w More coverage and photos, 1B

Michigan is one of seven states in the country that does not require K-12 students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily, but that may soon change. A bill, sponsored by Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw, requires all students in K-12 education to recite the pledge before every school day. However, students can opt out with parental permission. The legislation was approved by the state Senate 31-5 on Nov. 10. An amendment to the bill says students cannot be bullied or pressured into reciting the pledge

should they choose not to. It also mandates that school districts buy American flags to display in each of its buildings. “I think it’s a good thing,” said Grand Rapids freshman Colin Ludema. “We’re all Americans, and it’s a patriotic thing to do. I knew kids in high school that didn’t even know the Pledge of Allegiance, so I think it’s a good thing.” Ludema recited the pledge before class every day in elementary school. Political Science Professor James Hill disagreed and questioned the importance of the bill.

ISABELLA COMMUNITY SOUP KITCHEN

Thanksgiving dinner provides extra meal By Kendra Happy Staff Reporter

Anyone in need of a warm meal could walk through the doors of the soup kitchen Sunday and be handed a plate piled full of food. Sunday marked the second Thanksgiving dinner held at the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St. “This is a great time to remind people you care and it’s like an extra gift for them,” said Danielle Ismirle, assistant

service director for Aramark at Central Michigan University. Ismirle said the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen did not require a proof of income or Isabella County residency. The meal was also provided at no cost. Volunteers served about 175 patrons a traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and green bean casserole. Raffle tickets were also handed out for turkeys. “The food is good and all the turkey they’re giving away

is great,” said Shepherd resident Ken Norton. People from the Mt. Pleasant Community Church, 1400 W. Broomfield St., donated and prepared all of the food with the help from 43 volunteers that contributed to the event. “I have never volunteered here before, but seeing them hand out all this food is incredible,” Temperance graduate student Amanda Laney said. Many people attended not only for the sharing of food, but for the company of others.

“I’d be spending Thanksgiving alone if it weren’t for my friend who brought me here,” said Mount Pleasant resident Linda Hudak. Ismirle said soup kitchen patrons are provided with two meals, breakfast and dinner, on an average day. “I really like seeing people’s smiles when I do (volunteer), especially the little kids,” said Tawas City junior Lauren Dzierbicki. metro@cm-life.com

ROCHESTER — Ron Estrada and Kathleen Tschirhart have very different views of how much government should be aiding their ailing state, the home of America’s auto industry. Estrada, an auto industry engineer, and Tschirhart, who was laid off from one casino job and quit another, are typical of the voters who could determine who wins the pivotal state of Michigan in next year’s presidential election. It’s probably the state where President Barack Obama’s economic policies should play best, since he helped save General Motors and Chrysler. Yet he’s no shooin.

T U A

“The more the government gets involved in bailing out auto companies, the bigger the mess down the road,” Estrada said. He was out of work recently for two months, but he was able to get plenty of interviews and land a good job. Estrada sees government as overly bloated and intrusive. The Oxford resident will vote for a conservative next fall. Tschirhart has a different outlook. She’s training now for computer-related work. Her family was on welfare when she was younger. She likes Obama. “He’s doing the best he can,” the Clawson resident said. All over suburban Detroit, where people still feel the pain of auto industry turmoil, the political debate for 2012 proceeds like this: On paper,

Obama should have an easy time here. He championed the $80 billion in aid to General Motors and Chrysler, which are now rebounding and repaying the government. Democrats say his economic stimulus program helped create thousands of jobs here. And Michigan hasn’t voted Republican for president since 1988, and since 1992, Democrats have won the state easily. Obama had a 16.6 percentage-point margin in 2008. People here expect government to help them, and they don’t expect any quick fixes. “People are so jaded. They’ve been down so long,” said Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, a nonpartisan newsletter. They’re also realistic about how much politicians can help.

“I am not sure what the purpose of the law is,” Hill said. “If it is to be sure our students are patriotic, I am not sure a rote recitation ensures that. If it is to ensure they know what the pledge words are or mean, that can be done in a less public way by written paper.” Hill also wondered how students would be protected from bullying or intimidation from peers. “What concerns me is the bullying or intimidation possibility,” Hill said. “How do you

Michigan institutions awarded $46 million grant to assist low-income students By Jessica Fecteau Senior Reporter

Corunna freshman Autumn Harris laughs while making cards for active military members serving in Kuwait with friends Saturday afternoon at her Mount Pleasant apartment. Harris’ boyfriend has been stationed in Kuwait for more than a month. “I want the soldiers to feel appreciated and I want to show them that we care,” Harris said.

Autumn Harris endures military challenges although she is not an enlisted soldier. The Corunna sophomore maintains a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend Ryan Hovis, who is stationed at a U.S. Army base in Kuwait. Although Harris has been in other long-distance relationships, she said nothing can compare to dating someone in the military. They are able to keep in contact through Facebook and phone calls, but she said nothing is ever certain. “It’s definitely a different dynamic to a relationship,” Harris said. “You find yourself spending a lot of time being alone when most people would have given up. It’s not just for giggles and you really have to know that the relationship is worth waiting for.” Having a cousin who has been deployed three times, Harris said she has heard how challenging it can be to be overseas during special holidays. She wanted to do something for her boyfriend and his unit for Christmas. Harris and several of her friends got together Saturday at her apartment to make about 200 cards to send to Kuwait and show their support and appreciation. “It’s so awful to think that (soldiers) don’t know if people in America appreciate the things they are doing,” Harris said. “I wanted to do something to change that and instill some hope and extra morale.” Muskegon junior Courtney Zobl knows Harris through Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and helped to make cards. “I know it really hits close

to home as well as (with) thousands of other Americans,” Zobl said. “It’s great when people take a minute out of their schedules to thank and remember those serving overseas.” Autumn Grey, a junior at Oakland Community College, went to high school with the couple and said she would have never seen the match coming, but knows both of them personally and thinks Harris handles the distance well. “It takes a strong person to deal with a relationship in the (military),” Grey said. “However, instead of being sad, Autumn thinks of ways to help him overseas.” The cards will be sent to Hovis and he will distribute them to his friends and other units. He told Harris many of the soldiers are already looking forward to their card.

Central Michigan University is one of 15 Michigan institutions with $46 million reserved to help lowincome students. The seven-year grant was awarded by the U.S. Department of Education to Michigan’s Martin Luther King-Cesar Chávez-Rosa Parks Initiative. It will help guide and fund the Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs. “We start with seventh grade and work with a cohort of students and work with them through their first year of college,” said Denise Green, associate vice president for Institutional Diversity.

Pre-college programs offered at the high school level include cultural trips, academic prep-tutoring, college counseling and information about financial aid, she said. The GEAR UP program started about 20 years ago and provides a pipeline for low-income, first-generation students, Green said. Central Michigan University works with more than 600 low-income students in the Flint Community School District, Green said. Students are typically qualified for the program if they qualify for free or reduced lunch. According to a USA Today article, 4.5 million American students are both firstgeneration and low income.

Poets Traci Brimhall and Leigh Jajuga will share their work at the final Wellspring Literary Series event of the fall tonight. The poetry performance will be held at 7 p.m. at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway St. “Her (Brimhall’s) first book, ‘Rookery’ incorporates a lot of natural imagery and birds,” said Robert Fanning, professor of English language and literature. “It is structured around different definitions of the term ‘rookery’ (a colony of breeding birds).” Fanning said Brimhall’s poems are highly lyrical, deeply moving and extremely engaging, and Brimhall’s poems are often centered on relationships, typically human relationships. “They’re powerful poems that incorporate dream imagery,” Fanning said. “They also find where dream life and the waking life intersect.” Fanning said he chose a cellist for the accompanying poetry because Brimhall’s work reminds him of low chords, not depressing, but heavy. Brimhall teaches creative writing at Western Michigan University where she is also a doctoral candidate. She is the poetry editor for “Third Coast”

and editor at large for “Loaded Bicycle.” “The natural world in (Brimhall’s) book with its violence often becomes a metaphor for human relationships,” Fanning said. Fanning and Assistant Central Review Assistant Editor and Elk Rapids senior John Priest agreed Jajuga’s poetry will compliment Brimhall’s poetry well. “Leigh’s work also contains natural, spiritual and human themes,” Fanning said. Fanning and Priest agreed Jajuga’s work was influenced by Brimhall’s book. “They both have similar threads in their work, while being very introspective,” Priest said. Priest compared pairing Jajuga with any other Wellspring poet as pairing white wine with a sharp cheddar; they wouldn’t go well together. Priest said it is inspiring for Jajuga to be reading with Brimhall. Fanning said the creative writing program at Central Michigan University has more readings every semester than any other program he is familiar with. Brimhall’s forthcoming book “Our Lady of the Ruins” was selected in 2011 for the Barnard Women Poet’s Prize. studentlife@cm-life.com

First Book Day promotes reading with Dog Tales, other activities Literary event brings children to Finch By Chad Mitchell Staff Reporter

First Book Day supported children’s literacy efforts with activities for a second year. On Sunday, First Book, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting literacy by providing low income children, brought children to Finch Fieldhouse room 113 for activities such as reading with local police and firefighters and face-painting. First Book Vice President Lindsay Adams said the

event’s second year went great. “It seems like we have about the same amount of kids showing up,” the Jackson senior said. “But I feel like we’re just so much more organized and there are a lot more games and activities to offer.” The money raised through First Book Day will be used to purchase new books to distribute to children in the community. Adams said the most popular event was reading with Dog Tales. Dog Tales, a nonprofit literacy mentor organization that uses therapeutic dogs to help children read, was one group present at the First Book Day.

Betty Louis, Dog Tales founder and coordinator, said children cannot progress in school without a good foundation in reading. Louis said the dogs take away some of the stress children have while reading. “The dogs wag their tails,” she said. “They’re not telling them what book to read, they’re not saying ‘Oh, you skipped that word,’ or ‘You didn’t read as well as Joey did,’ they just wag their tail and they’re excited to see them.” Louis said many children are limited when they learn to read, but not because they are not smart. “A lot of it is a self-esteem issue,” she said. “Many times it’s just because they don’t

read as fast or they don’t feel they read as well as somebody else.” Mike Mezei attended First Book Day with his three daughters, Gabriella, Francesca and Olivia. The Mount Pleasant resident said his family would just be hanging around their house on a typical Sunday if not for the event. “It’s something to do on a Sunday,” Mezei said. “We get to get out of the house and do something nice.” Mezei said he will definitely be bringing his daughters back for First Book Day next year. “It’s always good to see your kids buying books,” he said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Real friends vs. Facebook friends There’s a point where social media users have crossed the line between “socializing” and creeping. When a complete stranger (Facebook “friend”) knows you, knows what you did last weekend, your relationship status, where you work and who your roommate is, without even knowing you, that has more than crossed that line. Unless you’re a Kardashian or Paris Hilton or really know that many people, there is no reason to have that many friends. I am confident to say I can at least recognize the name of the 535 people I am Facebook friends with. But, in all honesty, I would consider less than 50 of those people to be real friends. When did this obsession with knowing everyone’s business begin? I admit it, I scroll through pictures of people from high school I haven’t talked to in a couple years just to see how awesome they make their lives look via Facebook. But if I actually talked to them, I guarantee their lives wouldn’t be as amazing as their pictures and uplifting status updates make it seem. And for the people who constantly post depressing status updates on how bad their lives suck, that’s just pathetic. That’s what real friends are for, so tell someone who actually cares about you. Facebook does have its perks. I stay in touch with friends and have a good time doing it, but I rarely find those people I just talk to on Facebook giving me a call just to see what’s up. It’s easier to just scroll through my page. The problem I have is the power social media has to make our lives less personal. I miss the days when my old friends would call me to figure out how I was or learn about the new adventures I have embarked on since going to college. I called a good high school friend of mine the other day and she said to me, “Your Facebook makes it seem like you’re having the time of your life.” She already made the assumption without even asking me one question about my life. With more than 800 million active users, it’s a good place to get the dirt. I wouldn’t be aware of the 15 girls I graduated with who are pregnant if it wasn’t for Facebook. I’m sure Mark Zuckerberg didn’t know what he was getting himself into back in 2004. Next time I am tempted to engage in an hour-long creep session of my long-lost friends, maybe I will consider calling them instead. They may wonder why I am so old-fashioned to connect with them this way, but at least I will have a sincere, one-on-one communication with a friend who I really know nothing about anymore.

EDITORIAL | Funding changes may not improve workforce

Best choice?

ccording to a report published in the Detroit Free Press, Gov. Rick Snyder said a portion of state aid for 15 public universities in Michigan could now rely on new requirements.

Snyder said funding for universities next year could likely be based on how well the schools achieve specific performance standards such as graduation rates or specialized degrees awarded. The details of how to best implement these standards are being studied in Lansing this year. Michigan is not alone in this possible change — 17 other states are implementing or studying performance funding. The biggest concern with materializing this plan is being able to concisely establish exactly what information receiving funding would be based on. One of the goals of receiving funding based on levels of performance is to push universities to graduate more students which will, according to the article, create more skilled employees to drive the state economy. Snyder wants to use goals that

can be measured year-to-year to help determine where next year’s $1.2 billion in university funding in Michigan will go. Simply looking at the number of graduates each Michigan university produces is a good place to start, but is has a realistic potential of altering education in one of two ways. First, professors could take the initiative to push students to work harder, but the question of how exactly to do that still exists. Pushing students to excel is an already-established principle in the teaching world, so one would assume they are extending their teaching capabilities as much as possible already. It seems the more likely outcome would be Central Michigan University lowering its standards and make classes easier to achieve a higher number of graduates each year, to

therefore increase the funding we receive. Another standard funding could be based on is the number of specialized degrees awarded to students. How well students are performing and how many are graduating is more important than the specific field of study they are pursuing. It’s common knowledge that different Michigan universities specialize in distinctive fields, so why favor one over another — it would become clear where the funding would go. This may be a step in the right direction to determine how universities will be supported, especially after lawmakers cut 15 percent in state aid this year from each state university’s budget. But, the cost this could have on universities lowering their standards just to make out with some funding would most likely have an overall negative effect. Now it’s just a game of waiting until a firm plan is announced. Hopefully shuffling graduates out the door to increase funding does not overshadow making sure graduates are properly educated before they are released into the workforce.

McCormick Morton, Saturday Why do we need to spend so much? Isn’t this why we have grad students. Mille5jc, Saturday in reply to McCormick Morton Exactly! CMU has enough talented people to tackle a website development project such as this! We could probably pay them less, at least by half, and still have an amazing, new, website. I don’t understand why this university, and other universities for that matter, don’t invest in their own people and programs, especially when it involves $550,000! Rmoskun, Saturday The Economy is down, yet they can spend 550k on a web site, must be nice to have the money in the world (to waste)...

Keg law ends partying

Three weeks after the new keg law has taken effect, I would like to be the first to extend my hand in congratulations to the Michigan lawmakers and police. For anyone unaware, the new addition to the musty tome of Michigan law requires retailers to tag every keg sold with the purchaser’s name, address, phone number, social security number, criminal history and medical history, so when the cavalry busts up a party of delinquents having a good time, the cops can identify the monster who bought the booze. With the passage of the new law, our legislators have finally earned their franking privileges and come to a cognizant agreement on an issue more important than pork, casework or dreams of gerrymandering: they’ve decided to crack down on broke college students bemoaning cuts to higher education and drowning their sorrows in sweet keg beer by giving the cops a chance to say, “Buck up, chump. A court date for the friend whose name is on this tag will sure teach your conscience a lesson.” I applaud the foresight of the Michigan Congress in seeing there is no better teacher than fear and guilt. The theory, of course, is the terror of landing a friend in trouble and the remorse felt once that friend has been slapped with a hefty fine will ward against impropriety and make upstanding citizens of us all. We can’t fight terrorism when we’re drunk and we can’t apply for a job holding a plastic red cup. Our elected officials have once again shown they’re in it for the long term by making it easy for the underage to start doing things more productive, like contributing money to a political campaign. So lawmakers will no doubt squawk with delight when they learn that not one party has taken place since Nov. 1, the day the law went into effect. In fact, just last Saturday night I found my roommate, normally a ruthless partier, excessive drinker and therefore terrible person, in his room at his desk diligently calculating the limit of an equation. He doesn’t even have math this semester. Surprised, I asked him about the sudden change of behavior. Surely on a Saturday night he should be bonging Keystone, getting into fights and chasing after women — keg law or no keg law. Without missing a beat he said, “Well, once our lawmakers made it illegal, I just knew there had to be something wrong with going to parties.” There was twinkle in his eye and a strain in his voice as he spoke. “Why would they outlaw it if it wasn’t morally wrong? Everyone knows, after all, that our legislators know best.” He added genuinely, “Thank God for the Michigan Congress.”

Dodgeball tournament raises $4,000 for local school athletics By Jordan Spence Senior Reporter

Jordy Brengosz was all anyone could talk about Saturday at the Dodging Budget Cuts dodgeball tournament. After all of her fellow teammates were eliminated, Brengosz was left to take on six members of the opposing team. In less than one minute, the Wisconsin freshman managed to eliminate four of the six members, though her team did not come out on top in the end. Brengosz was on one of 20 teams that competed in the four-minute games at the Student Activity Center which raised $4,000 for Mount Pleasant school district athletic programs. “At first I was looking to dodge,” Brengosz said. “Then I would catch them when they were off-guard and knock them out.” Elizabeth Schneider organized the event as part of a class project for PES 320: Foundations of Sport Management. The class required the Romeo senior and her classmates to put on an event to benefit the community. The money raised from the event will be donated to the Mount Pleasant Booster Club. “We saw the budget cuts Mount Pleasant had faced and we wanted to help out,” Schneider said. “The money we help raise here will help

Participants off all ages “fowl shot” their way to a good cause Sunday afternoon at the fourth-annual Turkey Shoot Out. Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation hosted the event at Morey Courts, 5175 E. Remus Road, to raise canned goods for the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St. “(We are) giving back to a place that gives back to the community during this time of the year,” said Assistant Recreation Coordinator Kevin Troshak. Participants took shots at making free throws to win a gift card from Kroger, the Central Michigan University Bookstore or LaBelle Management. Other prizes included footballs and sports bags.

The U.S. Department of Education reported 748,000 of those students were helped through this program in the 2010 fiscal year. “The program is excellent,” Green said. “It provides students an opportunity to consider college, to learn about college and prepare for col-

reduce transportation costs for the Mount Pleasant athletic program.” Schneider said they also collected gently used equipment to donate to local schools. Muskegon junior Jeremy Rank said he was excited to participate in the competition because he had not played dodgeball since seventh grade. One of the only all-female teams, the Big Cats, said they brought the intimidation factor when they played. “We wanted to support the local high school because we all love athletics,” said Illinois junior Elise Ford. After losing their first game, the Big Cats decided

to switch up their strategy and focus on catching and attacking their opponets more, said Dearborn junior Paige Bruce. Even after trying some new strategies, the Big Cats lost their second game. The team Pecan Sandies said they were able to get to the final four mostly because of luck. “The game is about 30 percent skill and 70 percent luck,” said Byron Center senior Matt Erdmans. “We shouldn’t even be doing this good.” In the end The Big Cats, DDD and the Pecan Sandies were not able to match Hugo’s Heroes, the winners of the tournament. studentlife@cm-life.com

“We try to cater to every age group since there is such a large range,” Troshak said. Ashlii Barlow, recreation assistant of Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation, said there were four different age divisions: 9 and under, 10 to 12, 13 to 16, and 17 and older. “Volunteers keep track of the number of foul shots made, and winners are who had the most shots in each group division,” Barlow said. Mount Pleasant resident Colin Macgregor said he was not there to win a prize. Macgregor was asked by a Parks and Recreation volunteer to participate while he was shooting baskets in Morey Court’s gym. “I come to Morey Courts a couple times a week,” the 15-year-old said. “I made 17 out of 20 shots.” Recreation Coordinator Carol Moody said during this

time of the year the need goes up at the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen. “It’s a good opportunity to stock the shelves and be able to give that to families who need it,” she said. The need at the kitchen is much higher this year because of the poor economic times, Isabella Community Soup Kitchen Administrative Assistant Linda Harris said in a previously published report. About 50 more people a day are coming into the kitchen for their daily meals compared to previous years, Harris said. Last year the event raised about 30 to 45 cans and Troshak said they are looking to double that this year. “It’s really a fun event,” he said. “You don’t have to be great at basketball, it’s mainly to raise canned goods.”

lege, and eventually attend a college of their choice.” Kevin Madison, graduate student and former GEAR UP intern, said he is trying to eradicate poverty by education. “What I would take away most is how important the need is in the Flint community,” he said. “There is a large population of students that need information on the process of applying and attending school.”

In addition to being exposed to college campuses, students are encouraged to take AP courses, elective courses and attend cultural awareness events, Madison said. “We help them so they have a solid foot once they get there,” he said. “We help them realize college is accessible, achievable and affordable.”

Chippewas win first MAC title in program history By Kristopher Lodes and Adam Niemi | Staff Reporters

GENEVA, Ohio – Cinderella almost always spoils the ball. It was the first Mid-American Conference championship since 1982 for the Central Michigan volleyball team and it made the most of it, ousting No. 1 Northern Illinois in five sets Sunday, winning the championship. “‘This is ours,’ that’s all I heard,” said head coach Erik Olson about the team’s talk on the bench. In five, loud and fast-paced sets, NIU was sent home early from the party when freshman outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre smashed the ball for a 15-11 win. CMU had a 2-0 match lead into the break, but the No. 16 team in the nation evened it up, sending it into a fifth and deciding set.

Women’s basketball drops third-straight game By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

Talent wasn’t enough for the Central Michigan women’s basketball team as it lost its third-straight game Sunday. The Chippewas failed to get their first win of the season as they fell to the Pittsburgh Panthers 7770. The key stretch came at the fiveminute mark when a steal and layup by freshman guard Jessica Green made the score 64-60 in favor of Pitt. On the next possession senior forward Skylar Miller went to the line with a chance to cut the lead to two, but missed both free throws. Pittsburgh went 7-for-9 from the line, pulling away for the win. Freshman guard Crystal Brad-

ford, who had 18 points, led the team in scoring. Freshman forward Jas’Mine Bracey had 16 and Green scored nine. The Chippewas started the game with a different starting lineup, including Bradford, Green and Bracey along with fellow freshman Kerby Tamm and sophomore Niki DiGuilio. “I thought the lineup change helped,” said head coach Sue Guevara. “It got some people’s attention.” CMU’s young team was effective, but the inexperience of the Chippewas showed in crucial points of the game. “We need to learn that you can’t do it all by yourself,” Guevara said. “ For a lot of the game, we did a good job passing the ball and then at the end of the game we had

freshmen playing one on one and we turned the ball over.” The Panthers jumped out to an early lead with two-straight baskets from sophomore guard Marquel Davis. Pittsburgh never trailed in the game. CMU struggled to score early, trailing 14-4 eight minutes into the game before a 7-0 run cut the lead to two. It continued to cut the lead down to two and three throughout the first half, but every time the Panthers responded with a run of their own. CMU committing 26 turnovers for the second time this season. “We need to fix the turnovers,” Guevara said. “We have a young team and it’s expected, but what I want to see us do is to be smarter A GAME | 2B

Football loses big, ends at 3-9 By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

A 44-17 loss is the last game memory the Central Michigan football seniors have. The Toledo offense rocketed through the CMU defense, winning in front of 12,741 fans at Kelly/Shorts Stadium Friday night. The Chippewas finished the season 3-9 — the same record as last season. “We fell short of our goals and that’s going to hurt for awhile,” said quarterback Ryan Radcliff. Toledo jumped out to an early lead with two rushing touchdowns from senior running back Adonis Thomas. CMU started a comeback after a 3-yard touchdown pass from Radcliff to freshman wide receiver Titus Davis. It was the seventh time those

two hooked up for touchdowns. After a David Harman field goal the score was 14-10 Toledo, but that was the closest it got. Toledo scored CMU (3-9 the next 23 points overall, 2-6 with two passing MAC) touchdowns from sophomore quarterback Terrence Owens and three Toledo (7-4 field goals. overall, 6-1 The Rockets MAC) scored more than 60 points the past two games.

The Chippewas had the chance to win it in set four, but allowed NIU to take it into that final set. “I was a little uneasy on the bench going into game five, but the players were on a mission,” Olson said.

[SPORTS] through the good and the bad on the day, finishing the match with 59 assists. “Our whole team was on fire tonight,” Maxwell said. “We always talk about how we have to put everything together and this was the time to do it and we did.” CMU travels to California next weekend, taking on Long Beach State and UC-Irvine, before finding out who it plays in two weeks to start off the NCAA Tournament. “It’s the first time we’re going to the NCAA Tournament and we’re really excited,” said sophomore libero Jenna Coates. “We don’t know who we’re playing, but it’s an awesome feeling.”

The Chippewas head to their next ball — but none like it has ever been invited to before — their first-ever NCAA Tournament on Dec. 2 and 3 once it finishes regular season play against Long Beach State and UC-Irvine. The tournament location has yet to be determined. Melissa McIntyre, mother of freshman outside hitter Kaitlyn, said she left her home in Beaver Dam, Wis. this weekend to make the championship. “I drove at five o’clock Saturday to get here,” she said while watching the team celebrate. “It’s an eight-and-a-half hour drive, but I had to get here.”

Ohio.” Sophomore setter Kelly Maxwell said the team was not shaken before the decisive fifth set against NIU. “Our whole team was just

on fire,” Maxwell said. “We love game fives.” One of the first things Olson did after handshakes and brief celebrations was study the stat sheets from all five sets. The

work is not over with games against Long Beach State and UC-Irvine on Friday and Saturday. “‘We have a big moment,’” Olson said to the team before the game. “I said, ‘Let’s go out there and take it to them. And they did.” Senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz was awarded as the MAC-Tournament MVP and MAC All-Tournament team. Maxwell also earned a spot on the MAC All-Tournament team. “We passed really well and played good enough defense,” McIntyre said. “Kelly (Maxwell) had some really good passes and let me go up there and do my thing.” Maxwell ran the offense

picking up one first down on 11 third down attempts. “One-for-11 on third down, that’s the key to the game,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “It’s nothing they did, we just didn’t execute.” Toledo’s offense stayed balanced throughout the game, gaining more than 200 yards both rushing and passing. The Rockets finished with 511 to-

tal yards. CMU threw for 233 yards. Radcliff and Davis connected again in the fourth quarter for a touchdown, although, Radcliff overthrew numerous receivers throughout the night, including one for an interception. “I don’t think Ryan played very well,” Enos said. “He was out of sync. He missed a cou-

ple of open receivers that he hasn’t missed this year.” Owens added a rushing touchdown, making it a threescore game. The Rockets are tied atop the Mid-American Conference East division at 6-1. Junior wide receiver Cody Wilson played through a foot injury and made a reception, extending his re-

ceptions streak to 29 games. Toledo freshman kicker Jeremiah Detmer finished the first half with a 50-yard field goal. Senior linebacker Mike Petrucci played in his last game for the Chippewas, recording a career-high 13 tackles. Many seniors who saw limited time during the year got to see more of the field.

Cotton had a 48-yard run as time expired, but was pushed out of bounds by the last Toledo defender. He fell to the ground with emotion after his last career play for the Chippewas. “(Cotton) came in with me, so it’s weird to see him leave,” Radcliff said.

halftime and started the second half on an 8-0 run, making the score 40-28, but strong play from Bracey and Green got CMU back in it, cutting the Panther lead to five with 12 minutes to play. Shooting 8-for 17 from

the line hurt CMU, while the Panthers went 20-for-24. “Missed free throws killed us,” Guevara said. “We are right in it and all we have to do is make one free throw and we missed them both. People need to step to the

line and make free throws.” Pitt was led by Davis, who had 26 points. Freshman Brianna Kiesel added 24 points Junior guard Brandie Baker scored her first seven points of the season coming off of the bench for the

Chippewas. “I thought it was better than last game,” Guevara said. “We worked the ball well against their zone and I saw some good things. We’re going to go through some growing pains, but we’re go-

ing to grow.” Central’s next game is Wednesday against South Florida in the first of two games in the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaskan Shootout.

Schultz ends her four years By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter

Senior middle-blocker Kaitlyn Schultz’s is having a memorable end to her career. She recorded career kill No. 1,000, won her fourth All-MAC honor, was named to the All-MAC Tournament team, won the tournament’s most valuable player award and her Chippewas are now MAC champions, going to the NCAA Tournamemt. “Winning the MVP is probably the biggest honor of my life,” Schultz said. “It’s a great achievement.” The Highland native was a dominating force in the MAC Tournament, recording 44 kills, nine blocks and four aces as CMU took down the top three teams on its way to claiming the championship. “I can’t do it without everybody else and winning the tournament was awesome,” Schultz said. The Chippewas have a 5851 record during her career. She has called three different venues home (Rose Arena, Finch Fieldhouse and McGuirk Arena) and now brings

back the school’s first-ever MAC title. “She (Schultz) is our first four-time All-MAC player,” said head coach Erik Olson. “She is a phenomenal player and she really grew as a blocker in this final season. She is an offensive player, but she figured out blocking in the offseason and that was huge for her.” Schultz started out her career as Miss Michigan Volleyball Player of the Year. She followed up the hype by being named as MAC Freshman of the Year in her first season. She recorded a hitting percentage of .341 that ranked second in the MAC and earned her the second All-MAC honor as a sophomore. She found a solid connection with sophomore setter Kelly Maxwell and it has paid off in a big way for Schultz, Maxwell and the rest of the MAC Champions. Her junior year she recorded her biggest kill total of 24 in a loss against Miami of Ohio in last seasons MAC Tournament and earned her third All-MAC honor. “Everything just fell in place

The injury-plagued 2011 senior class capped off their final collegiate season Friday as the Central Michigan football team fell to Toledo 44-17. As the experienced Chippewas lined the field at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium, the announcer introduced each player, thanking them for their commitment to the program. Many of those seniors were unfortunately in sweats and unable to take the field one last time. “You can hang the word perseverance out there cause I think every single person on the senior class missed at least one game with an injury with the exception of John Carr and Brandon Fricke,” said head coach Dan Enos. “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.” In total, nine seniors missed time due to injury, three of them only appearing in six or less games.

Defensive co-captains John Williams and Mike Petrucci were each given the challenge of leading their team from the sidelines. Williams suffered a seasonending injury in week four after recording 16 tackles through the first four games. He finishes his career with 94 tackles and four fumble recoveries. Petrucci played in eight games at linebacker, recording 62 tackles. He recorded a career-high 13 tackles in his collegiate finale. “Mike played very well,” Enos said Friday. “He’s a leader and a tough guy and does everything right. Not having him for several games this year hurt us and it was important for him to play well tonight and he did.” Senior cornerback Taylor Bradley ended his season in week three when he tore his Achilles tendon against Western Michigan. He was replaced by John Carr, who recorded five tackles in his final game as a Chippewa. “I wish we could have pulled it out, but I’ve got a lot of confidence in these kids and all the experience from this year will help them out

next season,” Carr said, who recorded his first career interception, helping CMU beat Akron. One of CMU’s most consistent weapons on offense this season was tight end David Blackburn, though an injury sidelined him against Toledo. He recorded 34 receptions for 479 yards and five scores in his senior season, including a record day at Ball State in which he caught nine passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns. “It was huge (not having Blackburn Friday) and we had some mental errors at tight end that hurt us,” Enos said. “He may not always show up on the stat sheet of having eight catches, but he did so many other things for us.” Paris Cotton gave all he had for the Chippewas, down to the last whistle Friday, busting out a 48-yard run as the clock expired Friday. He finished the season with 409 yards on the ground and 166 through the air, despite dealing with an injury. “That’s the CMU tradition since I’ve been here,” Cotton said. “Going all-out has been the norm and that was just

another example of it.” The senior ends his career with 1,894 rushing yards over four years at running back. “I’m leaving here with a good taste in my mouth that the rest of the younger cast can turn this thing around,” Cotton said. Offensive lineman Rocky Weaver holds the most starts (35) of any active Chippewas, missing the final four games of his senior season with a knee injury. Enos allowed a couple of seniors take the field in their final collegiate game Friday. Wide receiver Cedric Fraser caught a 22-yard pass early in the first quarter, appearing in his fourth game of the season. He finishes his career with 243 yards receiving. Landon Carter got his third start of the season at fullback and quarterback Brandon Fricke came in for the final minute of the season, handing the ball off to Cotton. The CMU football team says goodbye to wide receiver Jeremy Wilson, long snapper Brian Bennihoff and defensive ends Jason Chomic and Keshawn Fraser. sports@cm-life.com

Enos deserves more credit than he gets

Justin Hicks Senior Reporter

good coach needs passion for his job. He needs to be wealthy in his knowledge of the sport. He needs to know how to build up a talented roster. Finally, a quality coach needs to win games. Following Dan Enos’ second consecutive 3-9 season, I was only confident that he brought two of those things to the table. As a former Michigan State quarterback and football coach of nine different universities, I didn’t doubt his football knowledge. With young guys like Titus Davis, Courtney Williams, Anthony Garland, Cody Lopez and Ryan Petro on roster, it would be hard to argue Enos’ ability to bring in quality recruits. What I have thought he has lacked has been his decision making down the stretch, his passion and obviously tallies in the win column. Sitting in on his post-game press conference, I realized he has more passion than I’ve given him credit for. Enos said he had a hard time comparing his two seasons at CMU. “I think there’s been a significant improvement that wasn’t in the record, but as I

look at our program, I think we practiced better, had discipline issues; the things people don’t see,” he said. In 18 minutes after the game, Enos talked about the talent CMU has, position-byposition. He talked about his confidence in junior quarterback Ryan Radcliff, whose ability has been overshadowed by the team’s need to play catchup consistently. Enos showed a mix of emotions that proved to me his heart in this program and he has obviously proved that to Athletics Director Dave Heeke, who isn’t letting Enos

go just yet. He has expressed confidence in his coach’s passion and ability to rebuild CMU’s football team, calling him the future of the program. While I don’t fully agree with all of Enos’ coaching decisions, he should have a little more time to prove his ability with such drastic changes made to the team’s scheme and roster. Enos changed up the offensive scheme from Brian Kelly and Butch Jones’ spread to more of a pro-style offense and it’s not going to be changed back with him running the show.

Many people calling for his job want it back to the way they were ran under Kelly and Jones and that’s not going to happen in the near future. Such a switch back would require another two years of rebuilding and even more disappointment with CMU football. Put away your “Fire Enos” signs for one more year and if this team doesn’t finish with a winning record next season, by all means he’s yours. As for the 2012 season, Radcliff described this team’s mentality well: “Chin down, head up and keep fighting.”

Central Michigan head coach Ernie Zeigler said the next step for his team is to have some success offensively. If the Chippewas have success in their third game at 10 p.m. today against Pepperdine, they will have to do it against a mostly zone defense. “We’re going to have to be able to execute against their zone,” Zeigler said. “They’re going to be a team playing a 2-3 zone at least 50 percent or more.” Offensively, the Waves go through senior center Taylor Darby. He does his work in the low post and fights his way to the free-throw line. “They do a really good job trying to isolate Taylor Darby, their best inside player,” Zeigler said. Senior forward Andre Coimbra most likely will be matched up on Darby, who’s shooting above 50 percent from the field. “We got a couple defensive schemes to take away some of their plays,” said CMU sophomore guard Derek Jackson. “Try not to give their big man a lot of touches.” It will be Central’s first road game of the season and Zeigler is anxious to

see how his team reacts to the different scenery. “The road usually brings tough things for the visiting team,” Zeigler said. “Tough calls, crowd and the scenery and when your playing that become distractions.” CMU’s offense looks to run more this season, but hasn’t gotten off to a good start with the scheme after putting up 90-plus points in its two exhibition games. The team scored 65 in the win against Ferris State on Nov. 12 and 77 in a double overtime loss against Charlotte on Tuesday. Pepperdine’s most notable win came Tuesday, winning 66-60 against Arizona State in Tempe, Az. Junior guard Caleb Willis is someone who must be contained by CMU. He’s averaging 9.7 points per game and 3.3 assists. CMU travels to Alaska for the Great Alaska Shootout, facing New Mexico State on Friday or Saturday. sports@cm-life.com

Men’s basketball travels over Thanksgiving break By Matt Thompson Assistant Sports Editor

How thankful are you to have four and a half days off for Thanksgiving break? The Central Michigan men’s basketball team faces a trip across the country for eight days this break. “You become immune to it,” said head coach Ernie Zeigler. “When you make a commitment to basketball as your sport, you’re accustomed to missing different holidays.” Zeigler said many freshmen are used to missing holidays for different basketball tournaments. “My freshman year I really wanted to go home,” said sophomore guard Derek Jackson. “Hopefully I still get some Thanksgiving food.” The Chippewas face Pepperdine at 10 p.m. today in Malibu, Calif. Afterward, they fly to Seattle and go to Alaska for the Great Alaska Shootout. Prom there takes them to Phoenix before California. Zeigler looks forward to the team being away from home and together for team bonding.

Sophomore guard Trey Zeigler reacts after a play during the game against the University of North Carolina-Charlotte on Tuesday night at McGuirk Arena. CMU lost 77-75 to Charlotte.

“It’s going to be a really good experience for us as a team building standpoint,” he said. “I think we have great team chemistry and I think this will enhance it. Whenever you go on the road it’s an usagainst-the-world mentality.” CMU plays New Mexico State, kicking off the Alaska Shootout on Thanksgiving at 10:30 p.m. “This trip we got coming up we play four games in six days

so we have to stay together on the road trip,” Jackson said. “There’s some tough games we got to play, even harder on the road.” Jackson agrees with Zeigler and said the eight days will make the players, “stick together and stay tough.” Zeigler has had the team over at his house the last couple years when they have to stay in Mount Pleasant for

games. “Your teammates and coaches — all of us we’re a family,” Zeigler said. “We got to be an extension of our immediate families with each other and spend Thanksgiving holiday again together.” Zeigler has tried to make sure the team gets Christmas off to go home. The Chippewas have a long break after facing Wright State on Dec. 22. They don’t play again until Jan. 7, opening Mid-American Conference play. Alaska will be a first for most of these Chippewas. “I’ve never been, but I heard it’s supposed to be dark like 16 hours a day,” Jackson said. Zeigler is glad to get the team out of the comfort zone and depending on one another. “They like each other so much they can lean on each other as we get the experiences and different cultures and areas of country,” Zeigler said. “And especially against the competition.” sports@cm-life.com

Give athletics teams time John Manzo Sports Editor he freshmen athletes at Central Michigan university are making an impact. Each athletic team has freshmen contributing to its success. Running back Anthony Garland and wide receivers Titus Davis and Courtney Williams were the offensive leaders statistically, carrying the football team at times. Garland rushed for 399 yards and a touchdown in eight games, not playing a full season because of his redshirt status. Davis had 40 catches for 751 yards and a team-high

eight touchdowns in his first full season as a Chippewa. He scored twice Saturday in the 44-17 loss against Toledo. The team finished 3-9, but at least the future looks bright. Freshman guard Austin Keel has proven that he’s a 3-point threat, shooting 57.1 percent from that range. Freshman point guard Austin McBroom cracked the starting lineup in his first game, being a distributor for an offense that wants to run. Women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara started four freshmen in the 77-70 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday. Freshmen Crystal Bradford and Jas’Mine Bracey finished with 18 and 16

points respectively, leading the team. Freshmen are taking the athletics department by storm. Freshman outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre spiked her way into the NCAA Tournament as the Chippewas knocked off No. 1 Northern Illinois in five sets in the Mic-American Conference championship game Sunday. She has a team-leading 337 kills this season. Her heroic performance was something to watch, as her and senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz propelled the team to an unlikely bid after knocking out No. 3 Western Michigan, No. 2 Ohio and then the Huskies. Six of the 28 goals scored

for the women’s soccer team were from freshmen. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Grace Labrecque allowed one goal, earning a 4-0-1 record this season. Freshman forward Cayleigh Immelman led the field hockey team with 33 points, scoring 12 goals. These athletes are making plays at the Division I level and have room to grow. The football team has quality recruits joining the freshmen next season. Progress will be made. The freshmen success makes an impact because of their class. Freshmen have three more years to help their teams contend. Athletics might not be at its peak yet, but it certainly will be for years to come.

Junior class positioned for role as leaders next football season Seniors expect next group to perform well By Justin Hicks Staff Reporter

As the Central Michigan football team says goodbye to 15 seniors, it has 20 juniors sliding into leadership roles as seniors next season. Senior defensive captain Mike Petrucci said he is confident in the class that will take over in his class’ absence. “The juniors need to take control right away and guys can’t be scared to lead,” he said. “I think we’ve got a lot of young guys that stepped up this year and are going to continue to step up next year.” Both offensive captains, wide receiver Cody Wilson and quarterback Ryan Radcliff return for their fourth year of eligibility. Radcliff threw for 2,134 yards and 17 touchdowns in the second half of the 2011 season, settling into his

Junior quarterback Ryan Radcliff looks to throw Friday night against Toledo at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium. Toledo defeated CMU 44-17.

role as starting quarterback. He will come into his senior season second all-time at CMU in passing yards, completions, passing touchdowns and total offense. He will be protected by four then seniors on the offensive line and Jerry Harris will be back as a key target. Following Friday’s loss to Toledo, Radcliff was asked

about his wide receiver core moving into the 2012 season. “It was good to get those young guys the time that they had this year and while a lot of it was out of necessity, they stepped up,” he said. “They got experience under their belts and that’s only going to benefit us.” All four of the quarter-

back’s top wide outs return for the Chippewas, recording a combined 1,915 receiving yards. Defensively, CMU has six senior linemen, including Steve Winston and Joe Kinville, who both started in all 12 games this season. Darryll Stinson, Nate Williams and Caesar Rodriguez will also be in their fourth year.

The line will have juniors Jahleel Addae and Loreno White in the secondary. Addae led the defense in 2011 with 107 tackles and four interceptions while White added 41 tackles. David Harman returns for his fourth season as kicker after finishing the 2011 season 13-of-16 on field goals and perfect on PATs.

“I really like the junior class and I think it’s a solid class of leaders and good players,” said head coach Dan Enos. “When you inject these young guys and bring in another recruiting class, I really like our football team.”
