Winn man, 39, hospitalized after crashing into pond

By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter

A 39-year-old Winn man is in the hospital after his car was submerged in a pond upside down Friday morning.

At about 7:20 a.m., Gregory Brian-Warren Leiter was driving westbound on East Deerfield Road when his Chevrolet Blazer crossed the center-line and ran off the opposite side of the road and into a pond, rolling upside down, according to a news release from the Isabella County Sheriff ’s Department.

Three individuals, who wish to remain anonymous, were traveling on East Deerfield Road Friday morning when they noticed the submerged car and stopped to help Leiter, who was con-

scious inside the vehicle. They cut the driver’s seatbelt with a knife and were able to get him out of the car and onto shore.

Leiter was transported to McLaren-Central Michigan by MMR. His injuries were not life-threatening.

The accident is still being investigated to determine the cause of the crash.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said it will be a while before they know the factors of the crash.

“It’s going to take weeks before we get it back from the lab,” he said. “We don’t know if it was a medical emergency.”

Michigan State Police, the Mount Pleasant Fire Department, Isabella County Sheriff ’s Department and MMR assisted with the incident. metro@cm-life.com

President Ross to give State of University address Sept. 13

By John Irwin Elections Coordinator

Central Michigan University President George Ross will give a State of the University address Sept. 13 in Plachta Auditorium in Warriner Hall.

The speech is open to the public and will begin at 2 p.m.

A live stream of the speech will be available online for those unable to attend in person and for Global Campus employees.

Last year, the university faced a tumultuous year, including a faculty strike, a botched website redesign, communication breakdowns and multiple votes of no confidence in the administration and Ross from various departments.

Speaking with Central

Michigan Life last month, Ross said he has learned from mistakes his administration made and is ready to move forward.

“I think we’ll be a much better and stronger institution going forward,” Ross said.

Last year, amidst rife between faculty and administration, Ross said the university was in a “strong position” and touted successes, including the CMU debate team, GPAs of student athletes and low tuition. Provost Gary Shapiro proceeded Ross in the speech, delivering goals of the university in the 2011-12 year, including prioritization, introducing a new medical school and proposed bioscience building. university@cm-life.com

Biden: ‘America is better off today’

By John Irwin Elections Coordinator

DETROIT – Vice President Joe Biden praised labor and criticized Republican policies in front of thousands of union members in downtown Detroit on Labor Day. Biden promised the crowd at the AFL-CIO Labor Day Rally that he and President Barack Obama, if re-elected, will continue to protect collective bargaining rights for unions and fight right-to-work laws. “(Republicans) don’t get it,” Biden said. “Right-to-work means the right to work for less. As long as we’re here, it will not happen.”

Union members are a key demographic of the Democratic Party, and Biden tried to appeal to them in his 15-minute speech.

The vice president frequently contrasted himself and Obama with Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. “(Romney) called the president of the United States out of touch,” Biden said. “Out of touch? How many of you all have a Swiss bank account?

How much do you have in the Cayman Islands? This guy won’t even let you see his tax returns.”

www.cm-life.com/news

[NEWS]

Biden criticized Romney for his opposition to the 2009 bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler and praised autoworkers for sacrificing benefits and pay to keep those companies afloat.

“You are the reason why the auto industry is back,” Biden said.

Biden said the Republican Party has drifted so far to the right it has become unrecognizable.

“This is not your father’s Republican Party,” Biden said.

“They see you, the workers, as the problem. We see you as the solution to the problem.”

The vice president, joined on stage by his son and grandson, said the country is in a better position thanks to the Obama administration.

“America is better off today than they left us when they left,” Biden said.

He repeated what he called a “bumper sticker” line to end his speech.

“Osama bin Laden is dead,

and General Motors is alive,” Biden said.

U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., spoke before Biden and touched on many of the same themes the vice president did.

“We wouldn’t have a middle class if Michigan didn’t know how to make things,” Stabenow said.

Stabenow attacked her Republican challenger, former U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, for his opposition to the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, a law signed in 2009 by Obama that guarantees equal pay for women.

“Equal pay for equal work,” Stabenow said. “That’s what America is about, and that’s what we’re fighting for.”

Stabenow said Michigan and the country have turned a corner since Obama took office.

Jim Mamalakis, a Ford employee and United Auto Workers member, attended the rally and said Biden “hit the nail on the head.”

“I work at Ford, and we were lucky enough not to have to take federal assistance, but the bailouts were for the benefit of everybody,” Mamalakis said.

“If one of the Big Three went under, the other two and parts suppliers might have as well.” metro@cm-life.com

UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN URGING STUDENTS TO WATCH SURROUNDINGS AFTER 3 STUDENTS REPORT BEING GRABBED, GROPED

By Ann Zaniewski Detroit Free Press (MCT)

Authorities urged University of Michigan students starting classes this week to be mindful of their surroundings following reports of three students who were grabbed and groped in recent days.

In each case, a woman reported being grabbed by a man described as Asian, but campus police spokeswoman Diane Brown said investigators don’t believe the incidents are linked.

“They all three were very different, so no, we don’t foresee we have a serial groper,” she said Tuesday.

“We have no evidence to believe they are connected.”

University police issued a crime alert Monday after a 19-year-old student told police she was walking off campus to her residence on Washtenaw Avenue, near Hill Street, at 2:45 a.m.

when a man jumped behind her and grabbed her chest and crotch. The woman screamed, and the man ran toward Hill Street, police said.

The woman described the man as Asian, about 20 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall and wearing a baseball cap.

After receiving Monday’s crime alert, two other students came forward to report assaults.

Brown said an 18-yearold student told investigators a man grabbed her chest and leg between 9:15 and 9:45 p.m. Saturday while she was in the stands at Michigan Stadium for a football game viewing party.

She described the man as Asian, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 180 pounds with a muscular build, buzz-style haircut and a higher-pitched voice.

He was wearing a baseball hat, light pink shorts and blue sunglasses. Brown said the man appeared to be

intoxicated, according to the student.

Another 18-year-old student told police she was at Ruthven Museum on campus between 5 and 6 p.m. Friday when a man approached her and spoke in Chinese and limited English, according to police.

She said the man rubbed her elbow and grabbed her buttocks.

The student described the man as Chinese, 5 feet 7 inches tall with short hair, an average build and a neat and clean appearance.

Campus police and Ann Arbor police are investigating.

Brown said police received a couple tips Monday night about someone matching the description of the man in Monday morning’s incident. She said officers made contact with one person and determined he was not involved.

ACADEMIC SENATE

ACADEMIC SCHEDULE

Plans given for shared governance

Some unsure about possible changes

By Andrea Peck Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University’s Shared Governance Committee presented plans for the upcoming academic year at the first Academic Senate meeting Tuesday.

The major upcoming project for the committee is a survey for all on-campus entities that will be used to determine what the Shared Governance Committee will focus on for the year.

“We are coming up with questions for a campuswide survey of all constituencies,” Jim McDonald, A-Senate chairman and Shared Governance cochair said. “We want input.

We want data. We want everyone’s opinion represented and known.”

The purpose of the survey will be to gain knowledge and opinions about the actions of the committee from those on campus represented. The date of the survey’s reveal is yet to be determined but will take place sometime in the fall semester.

“We hope to finish our work by the end of the semester,” McDonald said.

The Shared Governance Committee was formed last February to open communication between different groups at the university and to involve students, faculty and staff in decisions made this year.

“Poor communication between different groups on campus was the catalyst for the reformation of the committee,” said Jim Hageman, special assistant to University President George Ross and Shared Governance Committee co-chair.

He said the committee is aware of some of the problems they have had in the past and are open to ideas on how to improve communication.

The committee also discussed updates that have been made on the two documents being used to build the basis of their actions.

“The documents are the result of last semester’s work and brainstorming sessions,” Hageman said.

The committee will continue to discuss the planned campus-wide survey as well as other communicationbased initiatives to be accomplished in the upcoming semester.

Additionally, live streaming and archiving of senate meetings on the official senate website was approved, and University

Easy money

Plasma donations save lives, gives students extra cash

By Sean Bradley

| Senior Reporter

Donating plasma isn’t all about giving.

It’s also about receiving.

Many students take advantage of the pay BioLife Plasma Services, 4279 E. Bluegrass Road, shells out for donors.

The plasma donated by students and non-students alike is used in therapies, which help recovering burn and trauma center victims, as well as hemophilia and immune deficiencies in patients, said Danielle Wells, regional marketing representative for Biolife Plasma Services.

“What plasma therapy does is it restores

donor can make, according to Wells.

“At the least, donors can make $200 a month if they donate twice a week,” she said. “It’s put on a tax-free debit card.”

Maffeo said he donates the plasma solely for cash purposes but still feels good about it, because it is helping out people who need plasma.

But the donating process is interesting.

“Once they take out all of the plasma, they inject you with this liquid, which is cold,” he said. “You can feel it going into your veins, which is a weird and kind of awesome sensation all at the same time.”

CMU graduate Evan Catanzaro started donating plasma in his sophomore year.

“I started donating pretty much for the money, but the fact that it saves lives was just a bonus,” Catanzaro, of Clinton Township, said.

Recent changes to the academic calendar have proposed classes starting after Labor Day beginning in the fall of 2014.

An ad hoc committee in the Academic Senate met and discussed the possibility of these changes, and the A-Senate voted last spring to reopen discussion on the issue.

“The Faculty Association and Central Michigan University, following additional discussion, have committed themselves to implementing this new academic calendar in the fall of 2014,” said an email sent on behalf of the university and the Faculty Association on Aug. 21.

Students and faculty have had mixed responses to the announcement.

Grayling junior John Lennon said he opposed the calendar change because of its potential effects on the Leadership Safari orientation program.

“The calender change will jeopardize a program near and dear to my heart, Safari,” Lennon said. “There is nothing wrong with the way things are, and the change has the potential to hurt the growth of the Leadership Safari program. We have one of the best orientation programs in the nation, and the change will risk that for one extra week.

To me, that’s unacceptable.”

Leadership Safari Director Dani Hiar said that the effects of this calendar change on the program remain uncertain at this point.

“The length and the scope of the program itself would not change; however, our ability to secure some of our specific speakers that are Safari traditions would be in jeopardy,” Hiar said. “Really though, it would still remain a Saturday through Wednesday program, though the later start will do one of two things: make the program grow because people would like the opportunity to move in earlier before taking off for one last Labor Day vacation, or it will effectively make Safari go away because of the later start.

If we were to lose our ability to contract certain speakers, it would be difficult to replicate some of the things that make Safari, well, Safari.”

Although the future of the program is uncertain under the changes to the academic calendar, Hiar said she sees no benefits with the later start.

“Frankly, we do things better at CMU than any other (Michigan universities

immune deficiencies,” Wells said.

She said during the school year, 60 percent of the Mount Pleasant BioLife Services Center’s donors are students.

“We have lots of students coming back already,” she said. “We had a booth at MAINstage to get more people in.”

She said students donate for various reasons, including extra spending money or for expenses such as gas or food.

The most important thing about donating is that it saves lives.

“The plasma is making life-saving therapies for patients,” she said. “Without these therapies, some of these patients would be bound to their homes.

They can live normal lives because of the plasma donation.”

Howell junior Joe Maffeo said he uses the money for food and other expenses and during an average month can make between $150 and $200.

The total amount one could make varies since the demand for plasma can dictate how much a

Albert Zainea, student affairs VP candidate: Rapid change necessary over next two years

By Jackson Seedott Staff Reporter

Albert Zainea said one of Central Michigan University’s big focuses needs to be the Global Campus.

Zainea, the first of three finalists scheduled for open forums for the Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs position was held on Tuesday.

About 30 administrators, faculty members and students attended the forum for Zainea, currently the director of undergraduate programs and Academic Liaison at CMU. Zainea is responsible for overseeing undergraduate programs through CMU’s Global Campus, establishing academic prioritization assessments and handling various issues pertaining to students’ rights and responsibilities.

“The CMU Global Campus is an ever-changing environment, and, as a potential candidate for the assistant vice president position, I believe it is important to be able to adapt to change,” Zainea said.

The assistant vice president for student affairs will be responsible for the management, development and coordination of services, programs and activities designed to complement and enhance the whole student experience, including programs such as career services, student life and the leadership institute.

Immediate priorities for Zainea include assessing each area that is overseen by the Office of Student Affairs and developing a mission statement, perspectives, priorities and benchmarks, if they are not already in place.

“I believe that change can occur rapidly or slowly however, I believe here at CMU, radical change is necessary within the next two years,” Zainea said. “These changes need to be made not for the sake of change but for the betterment of student experience and success.”

Among the changes that Zainea believes need to be made are things such as requiring students to stay in the residence halls for their sophomore year. Zainea said this change would help create a meaningful experience for students, due to the possibility of the academic calendar being shortened.

This would allow residence life employees more JEFFREY SMITH/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

RESEARCH: 44 PERCENT OF STUDENTS BINGE DRINK

By Marni Jameson The Orlando Sentinel (MCT)

As college gets under way, incoming students across the state are entering a world of long lectures, daunting professors, crushing course loads, new friendships and, often, lots and lots of drinking.

Adult-themed ‘Spring Awakening’ set for weekend-opening at Broadway Theatre

By Anna Palm Staff Reporter

“Spring Awakening” will soon be hitting the Broadway Theatre.

But the musical, exploring various themes such as puberty, is not recommended for children.

The Tony Award-winning musical will open at 7 p.m.

Thursday at the Broadway Theatre, 216 E. Broadway St. It will be run Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m., as well as at 2 p.m. this Sunday and Sept. 16.

“Even though the story demonstrates the tragedies and grief that can occur in life, it is filled with moving music, sexy rock-star performances and varying degrees of humor,” Director John Saint Jones said in an email.

Jones, of Mount Pleasant, said due to the explicit lyrics and intimate nature of the scenes, only open-mined, mature people will fully appreciate the impact of this production. “‘Spring Awakening’ brings a message of accepting others and having family that communicates well together,” Phil Mikus, Union Township

chairman of Trustees, said.

Mount Pleasant sophomore Conor Andrew Hall, who plays “Melchior,” has participated in plays such as “Rent” and “Sweeney Todd” with Broadway Theater before.

“I love ‘Spring Awakening,’” Hall said in an email.

“It’s one of my favorite shows, as it’s a musical you might not come out of feeling great; it’s very rooted in real life problems: teenage pregnancy, hormonal confusion, school-related fear and suicide.”

Hall said “Melchior” is the male lead, but he isn’t the protagonist. All the horrible things in the play that happen are because of him.

Jones said after experiencing the musical, perhaps parents or parents-to-be will consider what to tell their children when helping them prepare for the challenges of puberty.

“The fact that the leading characters are just entering their teens and are going through their ‘Spring Awakening’ adds to the thoughtprovoking action,” he said.

Mark Carpenter, long-time member of Friends of the

Broadway, accepted the role of “Adult Male” in his second musical performance.

He hadn’t stepped on stage since high school until 2008, when his daughter Allie inspired him to get back into acting.

“I brought her to (the) auditions for that first show (‘I’ll Be Home for Christmas’), and she insisted that I also try out,” he said.

In that show, Carpenter played the lead role “Howard”, and Allie sang in the choir.

“Since then, I have been in numerous shows with the Broadway Theater, both as an actor, a director, stage manager, assistant director and tech crew,” Carpenter said. “She and I have been involved in many shows at the Broadway. To us, it is like a second home and a second family.”

He said his role “Adult Male” is actually nine nonsinging roles which include: the headmaster, a teacher, a priest, a doctor, several different fathers and an abortionist. metro@cm-life.com

CMU alum donates $25,000 to add “Flying C” to outside of Events Center

By Andrea Peck Staff Reporter

A large “Flying C” hung on the north side of the Central Michigan University Events Center facing Broomfield Road came with no price tag for the university.

The “Flying C” cost about $25,000, and was privately donated by Jeffrey Seeley, a 1982 CMU alum and president and CEO of Carew International, a sales training and consulting organization out of Ohio. The “Flying C” is maroon with gold trim lit by orange backlights at night. “(Seeley’s) commitment to CMU really shows through,” said Stan

Shingles, assistant vice president of University Recreation, Events and Conferences.

The “Flying C” was part of the original plan for renovations for the Events Center but was later cut after other projects were given higher priority.

“It wasn’t one of our higher priorities,” Shingles said. “We had a large request for different things, and we only had so much money. We had to prioritize things in working with the architect.”

The plan to hang the “Flying C” was added back into the renovation project after being funded by Seeley.

“It’s a neat opportunity

to put the university’s mark on a major thoroughfare in our community,” said Dave Heeke, director of athletics.

Other renovations to the Events Center include the addition of the north lobby/ atrium, a new entrance and expansion of the south lobby and installation of air conditioning and new plumbing for bathrooms.

Holland sophomore Sabrina Parker supports the addition of the “Flying C” on the building.

“It’s a good way to show school spirit for the MSU game,” she said. “It shows school pride.”

Seeley could not be reached for comment. university@cm-life.com

that.

During the first few weeks of college, students, especially freshmen, are at the highest risk of alcohol-related harm, said Michael Cleveland, researcher at Penn State’s Prevention Research Center.

“We see a spike then because anxiety is high, and the rigors of course work haven’t yet taken hold.”

Michael Davis, a senior at University of Central Florida, says the drinking problem often starts with the way the college is portrayed as a life that revolves around alcohol. “Freshmen come in expecting it to be that way, so behave that way,” said the

22-year-old communications major.

Parents have reason to worry. According to national surveys conducted by Harvard School of Public Health, 44 percent of all college students binge drink and many suffer alcohol-induced blackouts.

Every year, college drinking leads to 1,825 deaths among students age 18 to 25, according to the College Task Force report to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Drinking also contributes to 599,000 injuries, 696,000 assaults and 97,000 cases of date rape on college campuses each year.

Case dismissed for former CMU ROTC instructor in suit against university

By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter

After allegedly getting lead poisoning from the rifle range under Finch Fieldhouse, a former Central Michigan University ROTC instructor had his case dismissed after filing too late.

Gowen native Mike Brewer, as previously reported by Central Michigan Life, filed a lawsuit against the Board of Trustees alleging he was exposed to toxic levels of lead, which resulted in negative neurological symptoms.

Brewer’s case was filed in a Lansing court Sept. 6, 2011, seeking more than $25,000, in addition to costs, interest and attorney fees. Brewer was employed at CMU in June 1995 as an instructor of weapons use and safety for the ROTC program. His office was located inside the indoor rifle range. He alleges his neurological symptoms forced him to retire from the U.S. Armed Forces in April 1998.

Rick Dimanin, Brewer’s Southfield-based attorney, said Thursday the courts threw out the case because the notice of injury was not filed on time.

Although Brewer did not file his case within three years of the time he was injured, the requirement under the statute of limitations, Dimanin said they alleged concealment was a factor in the case, which would extend the statute of limitations.

“We alleged that Central concealed Brewer’s claim from him, and we had proof that Central knew that the range was contaminated but they did not inform anyone of that fact, including Brewer,” he said.

Dimanin said because CMU is a state agency, Brewer was required to give the university notice of the injury within 120 days. Notice of Brewer’s injury was given within 120 days, he

said, but the courts said even though concealment was a factor, it would not extend the notice of injury time limit.

“It doesn’t make sense,” Dimanin said.

CMU’s General Counsel Manuel Rupe said in an email that CMU is pleased the Michigan Court of Claims granted CMU’s motion for summary disposition on Aug. 29. He said the court dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, and CMU has not received any notice of appeal.

An appeal will be filed within 21 days, and Dimanin said he anticipates some decision by the court of appeals by next year. university@cm-life.com

POLICE HAVE SUSPECT IN ASSAULT ON STUDENT; WITNESSES DISPUTE HATE CRIME CLAIMS

By Tammy Stables Battaglia Detroit Free Press (MCT)

DETROIT — Police say charges are expected against an 18-year-old Farmington Hills, Mich. teen who is accused of hitting a Michigan State University student at an off-campus party over the weekend.

But East Lansing Police Captain Jeff Murphy said Wednesday that while witnesses saw 19-year-old victim Zachary Tennen of Franklin get punched and pull a piece of metal from his mouth afterward, no witnesses have confirmed any evidence of stapling or a hate crime.

“I don’t think this victim is lying or anything like that,” Murphy said today, adding that investigators located two guests of the party that saw “a one-punch assault” of Tennen at about 2:30 a.m.

Sunday. “It’s just some difference of what these people saw. They’ve got front-row seats to this whole thing. He got assaulted and it never should have happened, and it was a serious assault. But the big thing is people started putting out it was a hate crime, and nothing’s showing us it was a part of it.”

Zachary Tennen and his family said party guests watched as two men with shaved heads assaulted the journalism sophomore after asking him if he was Jewish.

The family alleges the men raised their arms in a Nazi salute, said “Heil Hitler,” then stapled Zachary Tennen’s gums behind his bottom front teeth.

About 40 people were at the gathering, but most were in the backyard when the assault took place in the driveway out front, Murphy said.

Murphy said no one stepped in as Tennen was punched.

But the witnesses said they never saw a salute or heard references to Hitler or Tennen’s religion before he was hit. They also told police that they helped Tennen up, put frozen vegetables on his jaw after the attack, then walked

him down the street and flagged down a cab that took him to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Murphy said.

“That’s the other person we’d really like to talk to is the cab driver, and we haven’t been able to locate him,” Murphy said. “He’d be a great witness for us, too.”

Witnesses said they saw Tennen pull a piece of metal from his mouth, but they didn’t know what it was or how it got there.

“He said something to the effect that he’d been stapled, but there’s nobody that saw anything like that,” Murphy said. “And the witnesses that watched the assault happen didn’t see a stapler and indicated to us there was no way the suspect could have done anything with a stapler because it was one punch to the face and the suspect left the area. We haven’t determined how he got that piece of metal in his mouth.

But it was not put there by the suspect.”

Investigators from the East Lansing Police Department located the suspect through a friend of a friend. The suspect said he went to East Lansing to attend Welcome

Week open house parties, and he did not know the people hosting the gathering.

“He was cooperative, and he knows how serious it is, obviously,” Murphy said, declining to identify the teen until he is charged. “I can’t really get into what his story was. He was surprised we had located him.”

Zachary Tennen’s father, Bruce Tennen, on Tuesday called police statements that the attack wasn’t a hate crime “absurd,” adding that his son was upset about investigators debating the claim. He said he would support Anti-Defamation League follow-up with the FBI. Zachary Tennen is the grandson of longtime Michigan 3rd District Judge Harvey F. Tennen.

Murphy said the suspect could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and $1,000 in fines if found guilty of aggravated assault, a minor misdemeanor that specifies the victim was seriously injured in an attack. He said the suspect will remain free as local prosecutors review the case later this week to determine specifically what charges to file.

“Students can use flex dollars for anything in

Jacob Davis walked into The Market Monday afternoon ready to pick up some snacks.

“I didn’t know about flex dollars until I got to campus,” Lapeer freshman Davis said. “Once I got here I was so excited that I had $250 extra.”

Central Michigan University has made it easy for students to find uses of flex dollars by having convenience stores, coffee shops and restaurants peppered throughout campus that are flex dollar-friendly.

“Students can use flex dollars for anything in the stores and restaurants on campus,” said Angela Dowis, assistant manager of Campus Dining.

Flex dollars come with students meal plans, but students without a meal plan, staff members who wish to partake in the use of flex dollars or students who go through their flex dollars before the semester is up, can buy more flex.

They can be purchased online, through the ID office in the Bovee University Center or by filling out a form that can be found in convenience stores on campus.

“I am going to try and

the stores and restaurants on campus.”

Angela Dowis, assistant manager of Campus Dining spread my flex dollars out,” Davis said. “But most of them will be going toward Papa John’s.”

Living in Merrill Hall makes it easy for Davis to fill his need for Papa John’s.

“I have already spent $40,” Davis said.

Another freshman, Joe Frey from Grant, is planning on using his flex dollars for emergencies only.

“I (will use my flex dollars) when I don’t have cash on me,” Frey said. “Most of the time I use cash, but, like when I was on my way back from the gym and I needed water and didn’t want to

break a $20, I used my flex.”

Frey sees flex dollars as being more useful for smallpriced items, such as a bottle of water or a slushy, but he also wishes that some of his flex dollars could be used at the bookstore.

Although flex dollars can’t be used at the bookstore, they can be handy for students all over campus.

“I don’t see people on my floor using flex for more than small snacks,” Frey said. “But I know of a few of my older friends that used theirs all the time.” studentlife@cm-life.com

EDITORIAL | What Obama needs to say at the DNC

By Darnell Gardner Jr. Columnist

Obama’s humane error Upon entering the Oval Office, President Barack Obama promptly promised to usher in a series of changes, one of which would be closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. Under President George W. Bush, Guantanamo had become a symbol of America’s weakening commitment to human rights.

At Gitmo, suspected terrorists were tortured and held indefinitely, sometimes without ever being afforded the dignity of a trial.

Gitmo signaled an administration content to let fear be its guide. In reducing ourselves to wartime barbarism, we forfeited a moral authority we’d once been able to claim with less trepidation.

Human rights supporters hoped that Obama’s pledge to close Guantanamo indicated he’d be less apt to let fear dictate policy. They hoped that under Obama, the U.S. could walk onto the world stage confident that our own house was in good order.

As the president’s first term comes to a close, it’s clear these hopes were misplaced.

Republican efforts to keep Guantanamo open stifled the president’s resolve. To this day, the prison remains in operation.

Under the Bush Administration, the CIA was granted permission to run a global network of secret prisons for suspected terrorists. Prisons worked in tandem with the intelligence agency’s decadesold rendition program, which allowed suspects on foreign soil to be abducted and detained.

The Bush Administration drew harsh criticism from the international community after some accused the CIA of being complicit in the torture of detainees.

Obama shuttered the secret prison system within days of taking office but ordered the continuation of the CIA’s rendition program.

“If done within certain parameters, it is an acceptable practice,” the president concluded.

On the campaign trail in 2008, then-candidate Obama vowed to bring the War on Terror back in line with American ideals. In allowing rendition to continue, he reneged on that promise.

Further soiling this president’s record on human rights has been his expansion of U.S. drone strikes in the Middle East and across the Horn of Africa.

After 18 civilians were mistakenly killed by a drone in Afghanistan this past June, American-led NATO forces in the country finally decided to discontinue targeting Afghan homes for drone strikes.

Outside of Afghanistan, strikes on homes are still permitted.

The Obama Administration has enacted a policy under which all military-aged males killed within a strike zone are labeled enemy combatants unless evidence surfaces proving otherwise.

This policy has made precise analysis of just how many civilians perish in drone strikes nearly impossible and calls into question Obama Administration claims that civilian casualties have been minimal.

Obama’s drone strike program is divorced both from meaningful oversight and the American values the War on Terror purportedly defends.

Obama was voted into office by an electorate expecting him to follow through on promises.

In respect to human rights, Obama has not met expectations.

A

“

A detailed plan, please merica is better off today than they left us,” Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd of supporters in downtown Detroit on Labor Day.

President Barack Obama must convince skeptical swing voters this week at the Democratic National Convention that this is truly the case.

The Republican National Convention ended last week with a whimper, with low ratings and only a small convention bounce in the polls for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Romney’s acceptance speech last week failed to make headlines and did not help him make his case with swing voters, partly because it was a typical political speech filled with vague promises and attacks and partly because everyone was still trying to figure out why exactly Clint Eastwood was yelling at an empty chair earlier on.

That means the table is perfectly set for Obama to lay out his plans for a second term when he speaks on Thursday. But will he make the most of the moment?

The economy must be at the forefront of his acceptance speech. It is far and away the No. 1 issue for voters, and Obama must do something rare for the 2012 campaign season: lay out a plan filled with specifics.

Obama must acknowledge that the current pace of growth is weak at best. He must plainly tell voters why and give them his ideas to get the economy back on track: infrastructure projects, middle-class tax cuts, higher taxes on the rich, etc.

The national unemployment, which rose to 8.3 percent in July, has

been a hot-topic and primary bullet point for the Romney campaign and Republicans. The August number is due out Friday, ahead of the president’s convention-closing speech, presenting a perfect opportunity for Obama. If the number declines, and it has since it eclipsed the 10 percent mark in 2009, Obama has a case for a slow but improving economy.

If the number increases, Republicans have a very valid case against Obama’s economic practices.

At the same time, Obama needs to avoid sounding partisan. Congressional Republicans have earned their reputation as the “Party of No,” but he ran in 2008 on a vision of a postpartisan America. He might not be to blame, but that vision certainly has not become a reality over the past few years. He needs to let undecided voters frustrated with constant gridlock know it’s still his hope that both sides can come together.

“I think when you play an option team, it takes you a little while to get settled, and they were able to capitalize on some explosive plays,” Enos said. That’s what scouting is for, Dan. Giving up 24 points in a half isn’t “getting settled”, it’s being unprepared.

-GS Michigan Tech? Small Michigan colleges have produced some pretty good football coaches. Hall of Fame legends George Allen of the NFL and Nebraska Hall of Fame Coach Bob Devaney were Alma College grads. Northern Michigan produced Lloyd Carr, Jerry Granville and Steve Mariucci. I don’t think the Hall of Fame legend Herb Deromedi, one of the greatest defensive minds, even played football at Michigan.

I’m not impressed with our defense, but I don’t think where the coach played means a whole lot. Northern Michigan is no basketball power, and NMU alum Tom Izzo is a pretty good college basketball coach.

Apartment life is a getaway After hauling a queen-size bed, a fish tank (home to a baby Sulcata tortoise) lamps, a desk and the rest of my life into my new apartment, I sit on my leather couch with a cool glass of Mountain Dew and a smile. I am now the proud renter of my first apartment with two of my best friends.

I am thrown into a new world where I have my own kitchen space, not just a cabinet in a kitchenette. I have a bedroom all to myself, and I have a bathroom with not just one shower, but two, and one of them is combined with a bathtub. I am living the dream.

As much as I enjoyed my experiences that came with dorm life, I was happy to find my own space. With no set quiet hours, just the ones we create; no floor meetings, just meeting around the coffee table and (best of all) pets are allowed. So that means my baby, Tank (the Sulcata) is able to be with me once again.

Although I now have to cook my own meals, wash a lot more dishes and clean a larger room, I wouldn’t want to go back to paying an extra couple thousand dollars for those things to be catered to for me.

Why? It’s the whole idea of moving off campus and getting away. Sure, it’s only five minutes outside of campus, but it just makes me feel like an adult and not just another college kid living in the “residential communities,” a.k.a. dorms.

I had wonderful experiences in the dorms. That’s where I met my now current roommates, and I gained a lot of knowledge and experiences that I otherwise would have missed out on if I wouldn’t have lived there for two years.

I am still having great new experiences and meeting new people, all while living 9.2 miles (according to Google Maps) away from campus.

I will still be a mentor and a student. I will still volunteer and attend events. I will still attend classes and make it there on time, but I will be able to get away from it all at the end of the day.

So I will multi-task, sitting cross-legged on that leather couch, watching The Big Bang Theory and typing my papers while waiting for the timer to go off and tell me that my first batch of apartment-made cookies are done. Finally feeling like I have a space that is all my own.

I don’t see why we are required to do this. Give it to the students who are LEGAL to drink. Give me a check box that says, “I don’t drink alcohol”.

It should only be required for people who are on a medical or criminal file for abusing alcohol.

Due to lack of information, I don’t think I can register for my classes this spring due to this pointless online course. Thanks, CMU -Nick They should include lab time so they can experience the effects of different types of drinking.This course is stupid. The students are adults. Stop the nanny state.

CMU students gain valuable real-life experience with summer internships

By Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Several students spent their summer finding out first-hand the value of experience in their profession versus learning in the classroom.

Warren senior Lindsey Peters interned in New York City for a women’s design company, Walter Baker. The three-month experience from May to August gave Peters an opportunity to step inside the competitive highfashion industry.

She said every day was different, which kept things interesting. She mostly worked in the showroom where buyers would purchase garments. Peters also assisted in choosing apparel for magazines and companies and had hands-on experience assisting in public relations events.

“My favorite thing was being able to dabble in all aspects of the company and getting a hands-on experience,” she said.

Peters said it’s difficult to pinpoint something negative about the internship. The only thing she didn’t like was the long hours and weeks the job demanded.

“I wouldn’t have changed my experience for anything,” she said.

Many students, including Peters, value their internship

for the real-life applications.

“Classes are great, but working in the industry puts everything into place and you get to really see how the industry runs,” she said.

Lansing sophomore Corey Rubino spent his summer soaking up the sun working in Destin, Flordia at ResortQuest Wyndham Vacation Rentals.

“I’m a huge beach bum, so it was perfect,” he said.

Working in the recreational department, Rubino was responsible for entertaining vacationers. He was in charge of planning and running the activities throughout the week for families.

“It was a big party all the time,” he said.

He did everything from scheduling games on the beach to a giant pool party.

Rubino said he was one of the 38 chosen of more than 300 people who applied. A huge perk, Rubino said, was the paycheck at the end of the week.

Although it was nothing but fun in the sun most of the time, the tourists crammed the roadways, making it difficult to get from here to there.

“It would take an hour to go 10 miles down the road,” he said.

Rubino said he learned things about the hospitality industry he never expected.

“You’d be surprised what people complain about,”

Rubino said.

Rubino said working with kids and families was fun, but he wants to do something more challenging and fitting for his knowledge in the future.

“It was an overall great life experience,” he said.

Benton Harbor graduate Amanda Lesch spent her summer interning for the Boys and Girls Club of Benton Habor. She created a mentorship program called “Rise to the Top” for underprivileged low-income children.

Lesch said she created a comfortable environment to talk with the kids about topics including self-esteem, conflict resolution and peer pressure. She provided a safety net for at-risk youth ages six to 12.

“Many of them had behavioral issues, so it was a challenge,” she said.

Throughout the summer, Lesch saw one eight year-old grow emotionally and behaviorally, which was all she wanted to accomplish.

“They don’t get the love and support they need to thrive,” Lesch said.

That’s where she brought her passions and enthusiasm.

“I was so fortunate to find this,” she said. “It helped me figure out what I really want to do.” studentlife@cm-life.com

ADVICE

Melissa Beauchamp Senior Reporter

Values, morals, faith in a relationship I’ve been with my fiance for more than five years. As a newly engaged couple, I feel the pressure of getting the important things in life sorted out before we tie the knot. One topic that comes up frequently is values, morals and faith. It can be a sticky situation if the person you are in a relationship with does not hold the same morals as you. I’ve known many people that have broken off engagements, relationships or even friendships because of not seeing eye-to-eye. With a lot of experience in this department, I’ve come across ways to approach the subject.

First of all, everyone is different, and getting someone to change is almost an impossible task. Usually, a person’s values, morals or religious stance is highly

influenced by their upbringing and people that have impacted him or her along the way. If the topic comes up, proceed with caution.

It can be touchy, offensive and all of the above. Start with explaining your views, and make sure you keep an open ear to his or hers. Find the things you agree on, and work on the things where you have different views.

If the topic doesn’t come up, bring it up. Show you’re serious, but be ready and willing to listen.

If the both of you are on the same page as far as religion and values, but you are stronger in your faith, set aside time to study the Bible together or go to church. The most important component is communication. To grow together in your faith, you must both put forward the effort and challenge each other. Keep each other on the right track, and talk about where you are with your faith. It can be extremely attractive and compelling to be passionate about something and to want to grow with that person because of that fire.

It’s the same if he or she is stronger in faith than you.

Sit down with he or she and talk about it, take time to do

devotions together, bring up passages you find that could strengthen your relationship or a hardship your partner is going through. If it’s important to them, it should be important to you.

If religion isn’t an issue in your relationship, something with morals or values might be. Talk about things like trust, honesty and integrity.

Ask what that means for the other person and what it means for you.

Fortunately for me, my fiance and I have very similar values morals and are both looking to grow in our faith together, every day. That is the single-handedly most crucial thing that binds us together, and without it, we wouldn’t be as strong. Because we’ve talked about our faith, when the time comes, we won’t have to argue about how we raise our kids or what is right and wrong.

Faith is the basis on how we live our lives, whether we believe in a higher power or not. If you are serious with your significant other, it’s something to be taken seriously. If it’s not talked about properly, problems could arise when it’s time for important decisions.

Volleyball posts season-high hitting percentage; tops Oakland in home opener 3-1 Kris Lodes Staff Reporter

McGuirk Arena opened its doors for the first time this school year, Thursday with a Central Michigan volleyball 3-1 win over Oakland University.

The Chippewas (4-3) earned the victory against the Golden Grizzles (3-4) behind a strong offensive performance, with a seasonhigh hitting percentage of .371.

“It felt great to go out and hit above .300,” outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre said.

“We have to keep that up and keep the offense going.”

The offense was led by McIntyre, who had 18 kills, while senior outside hitter Lindsey Dulude was right behind her with 14.

Freshman middle blocker Angelique White continued her strong start to the season with 10 kills in the match. Senior outside hitter Val DeWeerd also had nine kills. “(White’s) upside is incredible and is on track to be as good, if not better than, (Kaitlyn) Schultz,” head coach Erik Olson said.

The offensive effort was directed by junior setter Kelly Maxwell, who led the team with 49 assists. Passing was a key issue this past weekend for Olson when CMU went 1-2 in the adidas/

“The difference between tonight and last weekend was our passing,” Olson said.

“We did a lot of work with our transition in practice yesterday and probably the toughest of our seniors’ careers.”

As a team, the Chippewas collected 53 digs on the night. They were led once again by junior libero Jenna Coates with 14. She is averaging 5.20 digs per set.

“I assume Oakland was trying to keep the ball away from her because her dig total was actually down,” Olson said. “It wasn’t that she was missing digs; (she) just didn’t have many opportunities, but when she did, she dug it.”

CMU is back in action this weekend when it travels to Raleigh, N.C. to play in the Courtyard Midtown Classic, hosted by North Carolina State.

Young cross-country runners gain experience at annual Jeff Drenth Memorial

The Central Michigan cross-country season kicked off Friday in Mt. Pleasant at the 27th Jeff Drenth Memorial.

Director of cross-country Willie Randolph said he was pleased with what he saw out of the younger runners and is looking forward to a season filled with very high expectations.

“We just wanted to get experience for the underclassmen ... it was a solid competition,” Randolph said.

Friday was more of a show-

Check out a photo gallery of Friday’s race on cm-life.com case for the underclassmen, while most of the team’s veterans were there for support to prepare the team for the remainder of the season.

“It was a good opportunity for our underclassmen to learn to be patient within a race and gain experience rather than just training,” Randolph said.

“There are still some things we need to work on, but we did see some good things.”

The men’s team began their

5k race at 10 a.m., while the women’s team started at 10:45 a.m.

The women’s team had 11 runners in the field of 60, five of which ran unattached.

Freshman Brooke Morgan ran unattached and finished ninth with a time of 18:54.78.

Sophomore Alyssa Dyer led the way for the Chippewas with a 15th-place finish, followed by Senior Veronica Garcia, who crossed the line in 18th place. Dyer ran the 5k in 19:11.95 while Garcia finished in 19:21.36.

Redshirt freshman Shelby Thren finished 35th and posted a time of 20:39.19 in her first race as a Chippewa.

The men’s team had 13 runners in the field of 74, of which five ran unattached Friday. Running unattached was Junior Nathan Huff, who finished seventh with a time of 15:47.86.

The field consisted of run-

ners from CMU, Michigan State, Northwood, Saginaw Valley State and Alma.

CMU faces tough competition in the weeks ahead, including a trip to defending national champions Wisconsin on Sept. 7 for the Badger Opener in Madison, Wisc.

CMU

6’0” sophomore linebacker Three injuries in the starting linebacker core to start the 2011 season forced freshmen including Cherocci into the mix before head coach Dan Enos would have liked. Cherocci fed off the experience, totaling 29 tackles in 10 games. The Rochester Hills native stepped up quickly in the 2012 season opener, recording 15 tackles as the starting middle linebacker. Putting youth behind it, the linebacker core of Cherocci, sophomore Cody Lopez and junior Shamari Benton will be the primary force stopping the run this season for the Chippewas.

JAHEEL ADDAE

5’11” senior defensive back Named team co-captain for his leadership abilities, Addae was named to the All-MAC first team in 2011, as well as the CMU Defensive Player of the Year. His four interceptions led the conference last season, and his 107 tackles was a Chippewa season-best. During the season opener to SEMS, Addae finished with 10 tackles – two for a loss of yards.

INJURIES The lone injured Chippewa heading into the “Clash at Kelly/Shorts Stadium” is defensive back Anthony Young, who suffered a knee injury in his Chippewa debut. Young, a transfer from Iowa State, earned eligibility immediately after coming to CMU.

TITUS DAVIS 6’2” sophomore wide receiver Davis played as a true freshman in 2011, leading the Chippewas with 751 receiving yards and eight touchdowns. He has appeared in all 13 games of his career, and was quick to show his potential, catching a 67-yard touchdown on his first career reception. Seniors Cody Lopez and Jerry Harris and sophomore Courtney Williams add depth behind Davis, to a wideout group that head coach Dan Enos considers one of the best in the league.

Michigan State’s swarming defense showcased against Boise State

By Seth Newman Video Editor

Ryan Zuke Senior Reporter

CMU needs to make a statement in MSU game If you are a Central Michigan football fan, I am sure Michigan State’s 45-7 shellacking over the Chippewas last year was not a fun game to watch.

Sure, CMU did not have the likes of Dan LeFevour, Antonio Brown or Nick Bellore, but I am sure many did not think it was going to be that lopsided.

The Spartans surged for 481 yards of total offense, compared to just 112 for the Chippewas. They were really never in the game from the start.

But this year needs to be different.

I still do not think people realize how big this weekend is for Mount Pleasant and CMU. If you thought there were a lot of people during welcome week or during a Western Michigan weekend—double that. Or maybe even triple it.

For the first time in CMU history, this rivalry game will be played on home turf.

And Chippewa fans will want to see their team put a competitive product on the field.

Now, I am not saying I expect them to pull off another upset. But they do need to keep it close and maintain the fans’ interest for at least three quarters.

Unlike last year, the excuse of injuries, inexperience and having a new coach will not work.

After the Chippewas 3827 win over Southeast Missouri State last Thursday, there are no major injuries to report. Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff is in his third season as a starter and has a senior-laden offensive line in front of him. And it is Dan Enos’ third season as head coach.

It is time to see some results.

Yes, MSU is the best team CMU will face all season, but I still do not think the Spartans are as good as a year ago. Their defense is the real deal as we saw last week, not allowing an offensive touchdown to Boise State.

And running back Le’Veon Bell picked up right where he left off last season. The junior rushed for 210 yards and two touchdowns against the Broncos.

But they do have an inexperienced quarterback in Andrew Maxwell, who will be making just his second career start on Saturday.

Yes, he is playing a MAC school, but if you do not think he will feel any pressure playing an in-state rival, 30 minutes from his hometown (Midland) and in front of the largest crowd in CMU football history, you are mistaken.

If the Chippewas can cause Maxwell to make a few mistakes and force some turnovers, then who knows, the game might be pretty close.

This needs to be a statement game for CMU, who is trying to prove MidAmerican Conference teams are no longer chalk-up wins for major conference teams.

Other MAC schools have done it already in week one.

Ohio defeated Penn State on the road, Northern Illinois lost by one point to Iowa and Toledo fell to Arizona in overtime.

I understand MSU is probably better than all of those teams, but if CMU can keep the game within 17 points, I think it will earn respect from its fans and around the league.

One thing is for sure, the atmosphere around the city and stadium will be electric.

I just hope the game can come close to matching it. sports@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan Chippewas will play an already battle-tested Michigan State Spartans team at 3 p.m.

Saturday when MSU comes to Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The No. 13 ranked Michigan State Spartans (1-0) defeated the No. 24 Boise State Broncos 17-13 Friday in a defensively dominated game on prime time television.

The score suggests that the game was close, but, for the first time since 1997, Boise State was held without an offensive touchdown.

“To recap Boise, I thought one of the things we did was fight through adversity,” head coach Mark Dantonio said during Tuesday’s weekly press conference. “We re-gathered ourselves at halftime and came out and played a little bit better.”

Led by junior linebacker Max Bullough, the Spartans’ defense gave up 206 total yards against Boise State and held the Broncos to 37 yards rushing on 24 attempts.

“Defensively, I thought we played outstanding through-

out the entire game, really,” Dantonio said. “They really had one drive down inside into the red zone against us.

(We’ve) got to apply a little more pass pressure probably, but we’ll get that fixed up.”

BSU attacked MSU by throwing long passes down the sideline. Only one pass connected, but the receivers were able to get separation from the Spartans’ cornerbacks.

On the offensive side of the ball, it was all junior running back Le’Veon Bell. In video game form, Bell spun, juked, plowed and hurdled over the Boise State defense. Bell carried the ball 44 times for 210 yards – both career highs.

Meanwhile, quarterback Andrew Maxwell struggled against the Broncos’ pass rush, ending the game with three interceptions.

“Offensively, great day by Le’Veon Bell, obviously,” Dantonio said. “(He) controlled the line of scrimmage, ran the ball effectively, and (Dion) Sims had a great day.”

Saturday’s football game against MSU could mean big day for running backs

By Ryan Zuke Senior Reporter

The Central Michigan football team will host Michigan State for the first time at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Kelly/Shorts stadium. The game is expected to break CMU’s single-game attendance record and is arguably the biggest event the city of Mount Pleasant has ever seen.

“This is why guys play college football,” head coach Dan Enos said. “They love the game, and they play for Saturdays. They play for the pageantry, the emotions, the crowd, the atmosphere, and it’s going to be a great college atmosphere come Saturday afternoon.”

Both teams are coming off week one victories but against two contrasting opponents.

The Chippewas defeated Southeast Missouri State 38-27, an FCS school that was picked to finish seventh in its conference.

The No. 13 Spartans edged No. 24 Boise State 17-13 at Spartan Stadium.

Enos said a main aspect to the game will be the running attack — both stopping it and being able to utilize it on offense.

Last week, MSU running back Le’Veon Bell rushed for 210 yards and two touchdowns. In last year’s 45-7 trouncing of the Chippewas, Bell rushed for 81 yards and three touchdowns.

“It’s got to be 11 guys to the ball (to stop him),” Enos said.

“Nobody’s stopped him for two years. They’ve got a good attack.”

On offense, the Chippewas will have to find a way to crack the Spartans’ stingy run-defense. The Broncos managed just 37 yards on the ground last week.

“We’ve got to try and do something nobody else has done,” Enos said. “We looked at all their film, and the only people that really ran the ball on them last year was Wisconsin.”

Against SEMS, the Chippewas turned the ball over three times – a component senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff says

cannot happen against MSU. “I think that’s why the first half last week we only came out (of the half ) 24-24 was because of all those turnovers,” he said. “If we do that this week, it won’t be conducive to winning, so we need to protect the ball and execute and do the things we can control.”

Enos said his team must capitalize on its chances to make big plays, something CMU was unable to do in last year’s contest.

“Last year, we had opportunities to make plays,” Enos said. “We had people open and couldn’t give them the ball for one reason or another.

We gave up too many negative yardage plays, too, and we got behind the chains too much.

And you can’t get yourself in third-and-long situations against these guys.”

Saturday’s game will mark the ninth meeting all-time between the two teams, with the Spartans holding a 5-3 advantage. sports@cm-life.com

Some CMU students plan to sport green and white for clash with MSU

By Kaitlin Sweet Staff Reporter

Although many Central Michigan University students are committed Chippewas in academia, some will sport their Spartan gear for Saturday’s football game.

“I grew up near East Lansing, and that’s home to me,” Holt sophomore Anastasha Franco said. “I was raised as a Spartan fan, so that’s naturally who I root for.”

Even some non-Lansing natives will be rooting for Michigan State University.

“State will win because they are a Big Ten team and we are a MAC team, so their program is better,” Traverse City junior Andrew Zelinski said.

When it comes to showing school spirit at the game, there is a bit of controversy for some students who have torn ideas on who to root for.

“I made a shirt that is half MSU and half CMU because I go here, but I want MSU to win because they are overall better. No one is up to par skill-wise to MSU,” Franco said.

Some students felt that cheering for MSU was a better idea because of the way our football team was performing last year.

“We need better recruitment to make our team stronger if we want to beat MSU,” Zelinski said.

The fact that some students think MSU might come out on top is not going to stop them from having fun at their own stadium with their mixed group of friends.

“I’m going to tailgate with friends from Central and State, and I know that collectively we can all have fun together,” Lansing sophomore Katlyn Kyriakopoulos said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Spartans’ inexperienced offense led by Maxwell, Bell

By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

The Chippewas’ defense allowed 308 yards of total offense Thursday against Southeast Missouri State. This week, they are faced with the challenge of stopping the Michigan State Spartans.

In their first game without a host of playmakers on offense, the Spartans relied on one that remained. Junior running back Le’Veon Bell carried the ball 44 times for 210 yards and two touchdowns in the Spartans’ season opening win against Boise State.

“Le’Veon Bell runs tough,” senior safety Jahleel Addae said. “We know that, and we’re ready for the challenge.”

Junior Andrew Maxwell is expected to make his sec-

ond start as the Spartans’ quarterback after throwing for 248 yards and three interceptions in his debut.

“I think he played pretty well after watching the video,” head coach Dan Enos said. “He got pressured, but he also made some big throws on third downs.”

Maxwell and an inexperienced receiving core, led by junior Bennie Fowler and sophomores Tony Lippett and Keith Mumphery, looked a bit out of sync but showed potential in the season-opener.

Junior tight end Dion Sims led the team with seven catches for 65 yards.

The offensive line is a strong point for MSU. It returns seven members with starting experience. Senior

right tackle Fou Fonoti, senior right guard Chris McDonald, sophomore center Travis Jackson, redshirt freshman left guard Jack Allen, and senior left tackle Dan France top the depth chart at their respective positions.

“Offensively and defensively, they’re very talented,” Enos said. “They don’t have weaknesses; they’re a top-10 football program.”

MSU said goodbye to three-year starting quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason, who threw for 3,316 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2011. The Holland, Mich. native left East Lansing ranked first alltime in passing touchdowns (66), passing yards (9,131), completions (723), passing

MSU brings top-10 defense to Kelly/Shorts

By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter

One of the biggest challenges facing head coach Dan Enos and the Central Michigan football team in this weekend’s game against Michigan State is trying to score against its defense.

The Spartans return eight starters from a group that ranked sixth in the nation in total defense in 2011. Few teams were able to move the ball against the Spartans.

“We’re going to have to try to do something that nobody else has done,” Enos said. “It’s going to be a challenge; we have to try and run the ball against them, which is very difficult.”

The Chippewas ran for 324 yards against Southeast Missouri, but things might be more difficult against MSU. The Spartans gave up just 37 rush yards last week to Boise State.

“They have very talented players,” Enos said. “Boise couldn’t run the ball; Georgia couldn’t run the ball.

Wisconsin was able to do some things, but they have first-round draft picks on the offensive line, a quarterback who’s in the NFL and a running back who’s a Heisman candidate.”

MSU allowed 206 yards of total offense in its 17-13 season-opening win against the Broncos.

Up front, the Spartans are led by junior defensive end William Gholston, who led all Spartan defensive linemen with 70 tackles last season, including 16 for loss and five sacks. He is listed as a preseason candidate for multiple defensive honors.

Sophomore Marcus Rush, who started as a freshman last year, had 58 tackles at the other defensive end.

Seniors Anthony Rashad White and Tyler Hoover are the defensive tackles.

The Spartans return all

three starters at linebacker.

Junior Max Bullough led MSU with 89 tackles last season and recorded a team-high seven tackles against the Broncos Friday.

Senior Chris Norman and junior Denicos Allen are the other two starting linebackers for MSU. The secondary has two players that are on the preseason watch list for the Jim Thorpe Award, which is given to the nation’s top defensive back, in senior cornerback Johnny Adams and junior strong safety Isaiah Lewis.

Junior Darqueze Dennard is a returning starter at the other corner, and sophomore Curtis Drummond and redshirt freshman RJ Williamson, who had an interception against the Broncos, are the free safeties.

“They’re really wellcoached, very sound and very physical,” Enos said.

“We have to avoid negative yardage plays, because you can’t get yourself in thirdand-long against these guys.”

Businesses, grassy campus areas will be used for extra parking during MSU game

By Emily Grove Staff Reporter

Saturday won’t be a good day for a joy ride through Mount Pleasant.

With tens of thousands of people coming into the area for the Central Michigan University football game against Michigan State University, anyone driving through Mount Pleasant on Saturday should expect backups, detours and heavy pedestrian traffic.

To deal with this, the Mount Pleasant Police Department has developed an extensive traffic and parking management plan.

Mount Pleasant Police Capt.

Paul Lauria said season ticket holders have been made aware of the traffic plan and are encouraged to come early and stay late.

“Obviously, if you come into town late, good luck getting into the game, because there will be significant backups; that’s just a fact,” Lauria said.

The stadium’s parking lots are expected to be full, and police have anticipated needing anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 parking spots to accommodate all the vehicles.

Because CMU does not have that capacity, with only about 5,000 spots, businesses along Mission Street are other options for parking, Community Information Director Heather Smith said.

Those businesses are also likely going to charge for parking.

CMU Lots 22 and 33, which usually are not used for game day parking, will be made available for parking.

CMU has hired 150 extra personnel for game day, who will be able to help police execute the traffic plan in the initial setup and also help during parking.

The traffic plan’s emphasis is on the exit strategy at the conclusion of the game. Officers and posted signs will direct traf-

fic when the game ends.

MSU fans have been advised to park in grassy fields on the other side of West Campus Drive, near Bennigan’s. Once the game is let out, people parked there will be forced to go southbound on Mission Street to U.S. 127 for an immediate exit.

Theunissen Stadium is another area slated for parking.

People parked there will be directed to Broomfield Road and go west toward Lincoln Road.

If someone who parks in Theunissen Stadium wants to go north or south bound on U.S. 127, they will have to go from Broomfield to Lincoln, Lincoln to Pickard, from Pickard to Mission, where they can go northbound or continue on Pickard to U.S. 127 to go southbound.

“There’s a lot of road there.

It can handle a lot of cars and spreads everybody out,” Lauria said. university@cm-life.com

Residence halls prepare for CMU vs.

MSU, policies similar to WMU weekend

By Emma Kinsel Staff Reporter

Special policies will be enforced in all residence halls on Central Michigan University’s campus in preparation for the Michigan State University football team visiting for a game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium this weekend.

Information will be sent to CMU resident hall students, as well as MSU students, regarding important policies taking place this weekend. The policies are slated to be enforced from Friday to Sunday.

According to an informational sheet from the Office of Residence Life, building doors, except front doors, will be locked from 5 p.m. on Friday until 6 a.m. on Sunday. Residence halls will require a current Campus ID and a room key to allow entry to the building.

“We are anticipating that many of our residence hall students will be here for the

weekend and many will have friends visiting from MSU or other colleges because of the big game,” Joan Schmidt, associate director of Residence Life, said. “We are hopeful they will follow the rules and regulations.

We do want them to be aware that not only are they responsible for the rules and regulations, but they are also responsible for their guests’ behavior.”

Each four-person room is limited to six guests. The two-person rooms, like those in Barnes and Robinson Halls, are limited to three guests. Every visitor must check in and obtain a wristband that will grant them access to their friend’s hall throughout the weekend. Photo identification is required to receive a wristband.

Typical disciplinary measures will be taken if rules are broken. Disruptive guests will be asked to leave the campus.

Schmidt said procedures for MSU weekend are similar to

those followed in previous years when CMU played Western Michigan University.

“This year, we will also have added security in our residence halls as well as patrolling some of the more populated areas near our halls,” Schmidt said.

“These security staff members will work with our residence life staff to assure our students the safest community we can provide.”

Luanne Goffnett, residence hall director at Barnes Hall, said some students want to change the party image that CMU tends to carry, and she sees events, such as this weekend, as good opportunities to demonstrate positive behavior.

“During any event on campus, I always remind students that they are representing not only themselves but CMU students as a whole with their behavior,” Goffnett said. studentlife@cm-life.com

Most area hotels booked, others increase rates for MSU weekend

By Elizabeth Benson Staff Reporter

More than 50,000 visitors are expected to stream into the city of Mount Pleasant to witness a football game this weekend – dubbed “The Clash” – between Central Michigan University and Michigan State University.

With about 10 hotels, motels and inns in the area, many are already completely booked the weekend of the game.

While the game is set for Saturday, many visitors are planning on staying the entire weekend. As a result, hotels in the area started booking up.

“I remember we were checking (room availability) in

January, and we were nearly full by February,” said Heather Martin, desk clerk at Hampton Inn, 5205 E. Pickard Road. “It was before the football schedule came out, I can tell you that much. Because when we got the football schedule, we were like ‘Woah, we only have eight rooms left!’”

The hotel is now booked up, she said.

Super 8 Motel, 2323 S. Mission St., also booked up quickly.

Stefanie Thomas, desk clerk at Super 8, said the motel has been booked for the weekend since last month.

Employee Kimberly McIntyre said the hotel, as of last week, had about 75 rooms left, but rates are higher for game weekend.

“You can expect to pay about $259 a night for a room with one bed and $269 for two beds,” McIntyre said. “That’s a deal compared to some of the rates for rooms that weekend, as all of the hotels are taking advantage of the opportunity for business.”

Mount Pleasant Inn and Suites, 5500 E. Pickard Road, is offering a rate of $195 a night. metro@cm-life.com
