City will plant several types of trees downtown to replace diseased ash, locust By Emily Grove Staff Reporter

A variety of trees will be added to Main Street after city officials removed 18 trees because of emerald ash borer infection. Eleven ash trees and seven honey locust trees were removed and Downtown Development Director Michelle Sponseller said a joint effort will take place to decide the type of trees to replace those removed from downtown Mount Pleasant last month. Sponseller said a variety of trees will be planted instead of one type to avoid repeating the ash tree situation where all the trees became diseased and required removal. “We had two solid blocks full of ash trees, which we realized is not a good idea, and we will not be planting all the same trees this time,” Sponseller said.

Chris Bundy, director of parks and public spaces, said the seven trees removed from their planters worked into the Michigan Street project construction. Those trees will also be replaced, he said. “We’re adding 12 trees to replace them,” Bundy said. “It was part of the overall plan for the project.” The downtown development board will work with Bundy and the street department over the next few months to study which trees to plant this spring. “It’s always the plan to replace the trees, especially on the busy streets downtown,” Sponseller said. “It creates a more walkable, friendly town when trees line the streets.” Bundy said although the missing trees in downtown Mount Pleasant are most noticeable, tree removal and replacement is also a common

practice in Mount Pleasant’s local parks. The emerald ash borer is a problem nationwide, but Michigan was hit as one of the worst areas, Bundy said. “We have a lot of ash trees in the city parks, specifically Island Park, and over time, people will start to notice when those are removed, too,” he said. “What we try to manage is the trees that are close to a trail where people walk, because we don’t want a branch to fall and hit someone.” Bundy said trees are removed in the summer or fall and replanted in the spring. “We can’t replant right away, so we can’t remove all at once or else we will see huge open spaces,” Bundy said. “We do removal in a particular way so it doesn’t look so bare.” metro@cm-life.com

Daniel Tosh producing controversial show By Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

Tom Kenny, the voice actor of “Spongebob Squarepants,” and comedian Jerry Minor, who has made several guest appearances on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” held a phone conference Monday to promote his new show “Brickleberry.” The comedy, which is being produced by Daniel Tosh, centers around a group of dysfunctional rangers at a second-tier national park. Brickleberry, as described by both Tom Kenny and Jerry Minor, aims for controversy and has no shortage of offensive material. The pilot

It’s not enough to just push the envelope, you have to shred the (crap) out of it.” Kenny said he was impressed by the restraint the producers showed in editing the pilot, despite all the controversy.

“I wasn’t able to discover any self-editing,” Kenny said. “I thought that was a very wise decision and a great way to go forward.” “Brickleberry” is one of Jerry Minor’s first forays into voice acting, with his only previous experience being a small skit on Crank Yankers. Because of this, watching the pilot was a strange experience, he said. “Seeing your character come to life, it’s like watching something I’ve never seen, like I didn’t do it.” Minor said “ It’s really bizarre.”

currently MAC sports, but the university has also been advised to look at emerging sports such as equestrian and rugby. “We are looking at every sport,” van der Merwe said. “We have not isolated or honed in on any single sport.” The committee has also been examining local high school sports that have a high interest rate.

With the fall sports season already in full swing, the committee is still committed to bringing new women’s sports to CMU in the coming years. “There is definitely going to be some movement to add a sport. It’s in the immediate future, and we are committed to that,” van der Merwe said.

“There was a lot to talk about — almost too much,” he said. Middlewood didn’t feel as optimistic about the discussions. “People didn’t want to talk about the message,” she said. “It is important to realize the true message behind the ad and not just the content.” Rochester sophomore Noelle Beck agreed with Middlewood. “It was a little bit more opinion-based,” Beck said. “I thought it would be more informative, (but I got) more clarity on issues, and (the event) brought new ones that I didn’t know about to my attention.”

ing. Even the best psychiatrist needs a counselor sometimes.” Although Rapaport said it’s too soon to tell if there’s been an increase in sessions this semester, he said it is at an average pace against previous years. “It takes a lot of strength and courage to seek help if one needs it,” he said. “If a student wants to see a counselor, they just have to set up an appointment, but we also have urgent appointments available everyday.” studentlife@cm-life.com

INDIANA DAILY STUDENT | WEDNESDAY, OCT. 3, 2012 | IDSNEWS.COM

Golden Bear talks about Ryder Cup, course design BY NATHAN BROWN brown212@indiana.edu

Monday night, after Jack Nicklaus served as the inaugural speaker in the Wilson Delta Gamma Lectureship in Values and Ethics at the IU Auditorium, he sat down with members of the press, including Indiana Daily Student reporter Nathan Brown. Nicklaus talked further on why he decided to speak at IU, Team USA’s collapse in the Ryder Cup, Midwestern values and his last trip to Bloomington. Q: Why did you decide to speak in this series? A: Well, that would be my wife, who is good friends with Amy (Wilson) who said, ‘Will Jack do that?’ and Barbara said, ‘Jack, you will do this,’ and I said, ‘Okay.’ They asked me to do it, and I was going to be in Columbus anyways. I came up to do the Ryder Cup television yesterday, and tomorrow we are doing a breakfast and press conference for the President’s Cup, which is a year from now. We’re doing that tomorrow morning, so the captains are coming to Columbus. So I was here, and it worked out well. Q: Since you mentioned the Ryder Cup, talk a little bit about the finish there. A: I think the Americans played pretty darn good golf the first two days, but the Europeans are a good bunch of players, and they finally got on their game yesterday. They got into a roll, and they did it, and America didn’t finish very well. All they had to do was put away a few matches early — (Europe) won the fuckin’ first five matches,

didn’t they? — and you win the first five matches when you’re behind 10-6, and all the sudden you’re ahead 11-10. Q: You talked about Midwestern values, growing up in the Midwest. The topic, I guess the theme, in the speech was sort of that. The discussion was integrity and ethics ... Why do you think Midwestern values instill so much of that in people? A: Most of the people that come to the Midwest have come from some European background. I think people came to this country to get away from oppression in Europe and for religious freedoms, and I think that a lot of those people settled in the Midwest, and so I think the family values in the Midwest are pretty good. Q: Can you compare and contrast trying to improve as a golfer to improving in another field, course design, which you apparently have taken to really well? A: When I first started working, I sold insurance. I didn’t believe that my fraternity brothers needed insurance, but I was trying to sell it to them. But when I started playing golf, it was something I had a goal for because I really liked it. It was something I really wanted to do. The goal in golf was to be the best I could be. I didn’t really care about being an insurance salesman, but I was actually making a fairly decent living out of it. I didn’t decide to golf because of a financial standpoint because I was a 21-year-old kid making $30,000 a year in 1961. I wasn’t sure I could make

more money than that playing golf, but that was my interest. My interest was to be the best I could at what I wanted to do, so any kid no matter what field they pick, should be the best they can in that field. If you do, that’s your best chance to succeed. You’ll go through some years when it’s not comfortable, but if you really believe that and believe that’s what you really want to do, you’ll succeed. Just keep after it. Design is the same thing. I really got interested in taking what I learned and putting it on a piece of ground that will be here long beyond my golf game and my lifetime. I thought that was fun, to promote the growth of the game I love, but I knew someday I wouldn’t be able to play. But I would still have a field that I could stay into, which was something I really liked. And I still like it. I mean, I’m 72 years old, and I love to go out and see a piece of ground, and to me, the most fun is what I call unlocking that ground and helping it reach its potential. Q: Going back to the last time you said you were in Bloomington, when you won your Big Ten championship your senior year ... just talk a little bit more about that experience, how you were able to win by so many shots and what it was like to help your team win? A: I wish I knew that. All I know is that when my coach asked me, I just put my nose to the grindstone and shot a lot of low scores. When I got done, I said, ‘How did we do, Coach?’ and he said, ‘You won by a lot, and we won by one.’

» MEN’S SOCCER CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 “Never give up, never stop playing for one another. That’s what we’ve been doing. We’ve been keeping each other accountable on every play. That’s kept us going. “Our philosophy day in and day out in practice and games is the same. Nothing should really change for us in this game.” The Wildcats also give Indiana an opportunity to earn

a win against a Great Lakes Region opponent after the team dropped a match 1-0 against Notre Dame a week ago. “I think we go into this game like we always go into games,” Bushue said. “Kentucky’s a rival, too. We’re a little bitter about the Notre Dame game still. We want to come out with a result.” Meanwhile, Lax, a 2011 Academic All-Big Ten honoree, said this stretch doesn’t produce much stress

academically. “You come into college, you play soccer, you take that in (to consideration),” he said. “We love playing soccer. Stress on us academic-wise, it isn’t bad. We enjoy playing soccer, so we make it work. It’s awesome.” Lax said Bradford’s going to be greatly missed, but whoever takes his position is going to do a great job. “Coach Yeagley implements in our mind that we’ve got to keep going,” Lax said.

Sports Women’s Tennis

Tennis looks to serve up a win n Women’s tennis will take

on Drexel in a tone-setting match that could determine the outcome of their season. By JULIO RAMIREZ The women’s tennis team will face the Drexel University Dragons tomorrow at 11 a.m. The Dragons, with a winning record against Lehigh in recent seasons, will come to the Murray H. Goodman Campus to face off with the Mountain Hawks before the teams begin league play. Head Coach Dave Shook does not expect that his team will have a change in preparation and he urged them to ready themselves just as they have for other matches thus far in the season. Preparing for Drexel will be a mental challenge, according to Shook. The

game would help set a positive tempo for the season if the squad can pull out a win. Shook added that the team needs to control the scoreboard so that his players do not have to play catchup during matches. “It is important to correct the little mistakes we are making as a team now so that when we go into league play we can execute everything,” Shook said. Shook is proud of his players’ efforts so far and hopes that they keep improving as the season progresses. This season Shook has set team goals as being more aggressive and making opponents work for every point. Junior Jenai Bilimoria emphasized that league games are going to be crucial in determining the team’s success this season. “We lifted [daily in the offseason], and during that we also worked on certain aspects of our game,” Bilimoria

said, referencing the team’s hard work and preparation. She added that her personal goals are to work her hardest and win as many matches as she can. Because she has the most experience on the team, she hopes she can lead by example by motivating the team. “Our coaches have been centering our practices around developing an offensively-minded team,” sophomore Abby Farrell said. She explained that offensive play emerges through attacking second serves, looking for opportunities to rush into the net and taking full advantage of short balls. “We have a number of matches before Patriot League play which will hopefully prepare us better,” Bilimora said. She also added that the team is looking to knock off Colgate and Bucknell universities come springtime.

WRESTLING From Page 12 and hope that hard work in conditioning, practice, and film will pay off tonight and then carry over to March for the NCAA tournament. “Everyone’s got their own strengths and weaknesses in different areas,” Welsh said. “A teammate may be strong in an area where I’m weak, and he can help me develop in that area.” “One person who stands out as a leader for most people on our team would be Robert Hamlin,” Smith said. “He’s just an all around great guy, leads by example and has an outstanding work ethic. We all expect big things from him this season.” Abreu added that they would like to place top 10 at the NCAA National Championships and add one or two national champions as well. The Hawks will host Oklahoma tonight at 7 p.m. and Oregon State University Saturday at 2 p.m. at Leeman-Turner Arena.

CAMP HOLGS: PART II

WVU kicks off second camp under Holgorsen after victory in Orange Bowl BY DOUG WALP SPORTS WRITER

After West Virginia’s romp of Clemson in January’s Orange Bowl and being inducted into the notorious Big 12 Conference this July, the Mountaineers’ expectations for 2012 have reached a pinnacle heading into the first practice of fall preseason camp. Head coach Dana Holgorsen acknowledged the palpable excitement and wasted no time discussing the weight of the lofty outlooks following his first official practice with the team. “We addressed expectations,” Holgorsen said. “We basically told them we’re going to ignore expectations, just like we did last year going into the Clemson game. We didn’t really care what you guys wrote or what the media was saying on TV – it’s the same thing

now. Expectations are high, which we like, but we’re not going to pay any attention to it.” No pads were allowed during the first four practices, an NCAA-mandated acclimation period, but it was evident the addition of helmets and shoulder pads beginning the third practice ignited an element of raw physicality that has been prevalent in the Mountaineers’ preseason camp ever since. Holgorsen reported after the fourth day of practices one of the biggest changes from last year’s preseason was the fact that this year they simply had more healthy bodies to endure the simmering physical play that occasionally boiled over into a few skirmishes among teammates. “We’re not fighting because we hate each other,” Holgorsen said follow-

ing the fourth day of team practices. “We’re fighting because of the aggressive nature of what these kids are like. We had more fights than I would like today, but there’s some people across the country that would like to trade places with me, because they can’t get their guys to fight. That’s just intensity and competing. If it starts hurting the drill, that’s when I say something about it.” On the fifth day of practice, the team welcomed U.S. Senator Joe Manchin. It was reported that he talked to the team about their importance to the state of West Virginia and the countless inspirations cultivated by the program. After the physical initiation to WVU’s fall camp, the second-year head coach claimed even more competition and energy was developing in practices

four through eight, but he still wasn’t ready to narrow down any particular positions yet. Holgorsen also reported his overall satisfaction with significant developments and improvements from offensive-linemen Pat Eger, Curtis Feigt and Quinton Spain, who will all likely play a vital role in protecting quarterback Geno Smith, incumbent starting quarterback and preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. Big 12 referees also joined the players in camp during the week to clarify some of the newest changes to the rules, such as the new helmet rule, as well as tweaks to the kickoff procedures. After ten practices, Holgorsen told reporters he was about a week away from learning a significant amount about his team,

and although he wasn’t planning to alter the format of practice, the team would be participating in many more live snaps from there on out. He also informed the media the few players he kept on the scout team in practice, because of some concern they might not pass summer classes, had actually managed to do so by what Holgorsen deemed “the first miracle of the season.” Those in attendance during the 10th practice were treated to one brief but impressive series featuring Geno Smith and the first team offense airing it out against the defense on the practice field. Smith moved the first team down the field and into the end zone in a matter of minutes, much to the delight of his secondyear head coach. “We’ll continue to put

them in a lot of situations like that,” Holgorsen said. “Still like the energy, still like the effort, and I like what I see from an attitude standpoint. Now we just have to play a bunch of ball.” Again, the Mountaineers haven’t even completed half of their 29 NCAA-allowed preseason practices, but Holgorsen has been adamant since WVU’s fall camp opened that he’s been overly satisfied with the overall energy, excitement and intensity he’s seen from all sides of the ball. As the season continues to inch closer, Holgorsen will also move closer to a more finalized version of the depth-chart, where a number of positions are certainly still up for grabs. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

BIG 12 CONFERENCE TEAM PREVIEWS

Florence poised to replace Griﬃn at Baylor BY GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR

Stepping in for the Heisman Trophy winner is no easy task, but Baylor senior Nick Florence has been waiting to do just that. Florence has been Robert Griffin’s backup since arriving at Baylor in 2009. When Griffin has gotten hurt, Florence has stepped up, appearing in 18 games and starting seven, while throwing for 1,992 yards and nine touchdowns. Florence, veteran guy with that much experience, gives Coach Art Briles confidence. “I have a tremendous amount of confidence in the passion, the energy, the drive, the fearlessness that he’s going to bring to the table for us,” Briles said at Big 12 Media Day. Cyclones loaded with defensive star power It is clear that the Cyclones aren’t the offensive juggernaut that the majority of the teams in the conference are. Iowa State’s best players are on defense with lineback-

ers Jake Knott and A.J. Klein. Last season, Klein piled up 116 tackles and two sacks, while Knott had 115 tackles and two interceptions. Their head coach Paul Rhoads knows these are the guys who will take the program to the next level. “They’re prototype. They’re 6-foot-2, 6-foot-3, 245 pounds. They can run, and they’re intelligent, and they are tough, and the expectations are high for good reason,” Rhoads said.

Baylor senior quarterback Nick Florence will replace last year’s Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III as the starter. Wes Lunt. Having enrolled early at Oklahoma State, spring played huge for Lunt as he won the starting job over junior Clint Chelf. In high school, Lunt threw for 3651 yards and 31 touchdowns, en route to being named the Illinois All-State Quarterback. Halfway through the Cowboys’ training camp, Coach Mike Gundy said, “He’s doing fine. He’s progressing well. He’s got a better feel for the offense now than he did in the spring. We’ve been out there now (during camp), and he’s ahead of where I thought he would be.”

These two are as good a defensive end combo as any in the country. With Okafor at 6-foot-5, 265 pounds and Jeffcoat at 6-foot5, 245 pounds, the Longhorns have dueling speed rushers on the edge. Add the fact that Texas brings in five-star recruit Malcolm Brown to add some size on the interior at the defensive tackle spot, the Longhorns will be imposing for an opponents’ offensive

TCU’s Maponga Can Play With the Best Defensive End Stansly Maponga had nine sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss wreaking havoc in the backfield. The standout defensive end can get to the quarterback at any given time. Maponga dominated competition in the Mountain West. The true test for Maponga will be if he can do it against the bigger offensive tackles in the Big 12. About facing the competition, Maponga said, “I’ve watched a lot of film on the Big 12 teams, and it’s going to be a lot of fun; I’m ready to prove everyone wrong. I’m ready to go out there and make some moves.” Veteran QB Doege looking for consistency Having come a long way since replacing Graham Harrell following the 2010 season, senior Seth Doege will be the leader of the Red Raiders entering 2012. Doege has had some big wins, like the upset last season against Oklahoma, but also some ugly losses, like a 60-point blowout loss to Oklahoma State. Doege has been in the middle of it all – some good like the four touchdowns against the Sooners and some bad like the three interceptions against Kansas State. Needless to say, he’s looking for consistency. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Swimmer Diana Nyad is helped ashore after a failed attempt to swim the Florida Straights.

The Berlin Zoo said the 34-year-old bear died early Wednesday in his enclosure.

Storms, jellyfish end swim

Berlin zoo’s panda Bao Bao dies

KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) — Diana Nyad ended her fourth attempt to swim across the Straits of Florida on Tuesday, her decades-old dream thwarted, more than anything else, by jellyfish. Storms brewing around her and repeated jellyfish stings forced her out of the water at 12:55 a.m., her crew said. She traveled by boat close to a rocky shoreline in Key West on Tuesday afternoon, just over 72 hours after setting out from Cuba. She made a fi nal short swim to a waiting crowd.

BERLIN (AP) — The Berlin zoo says Bao Bao, who was given to West Germany by China in 1980 and was one of the world’s oldest giant pandas, has died. The zoo said the 34-year-old bear died early Wednesday in his enclosure after his health deteriorated over the last several months. Bao Bao was born in 1978 in China and later given as a gift by then-Chinese leader Hua Guofeng to West Germany’s chancellor, Helmut Schmidt.

Mitt Romney speaks at a convention with his new running mate, Paul Ryan. Mormonism, an interest of many voters, continues to spark debate.

Romney opening up a little about his religion NEW YORK (AP) — Mitt Romney is starting to open up a bit more about his lifelong commitment to Mormonism and his lay leadership in the church, following pleas from backers who say that talking about his faith could help him overcome his struggles to connect with voters. “Who shares your values?” a recent Romney ad asked — suggesting that the Republican presidential candidate was the answer. “When religious freedom is threatened, who do you want to stand with?” The commercial was the start of a broader Romney effort to emphasize values and religion as he

courts undecided voters — in a nation where most people say they want a president with strong religious beliefs — to compete with President Barack Obama in a race that polls show is close. Romney invited reporters to Mormon chapel services with his family last Sunday in New Hampshire. And he has asked a fellow Mormon to give an invocation before he addresses the Republican National Convention next week. Romney is the fi rst Mormon presidential nominee of a major political party, and highlighting his faith carries risks, given that many Americans view Mormonism skeptically.

Mars rover Curiosity prepares for test drive LOS ANGELES (AP) — Scientists prepared to send Curiosity on its fi rst test drive Wednesday over the billion-year-old rocks of Mars and said a busted wind sensor wouldn’t jeopardize its mission of determining whether life could exist there. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., turned four of the rover’s six wheels in place this week in a successful “wheel wiggle” to test the steering for the short trek, mission manager Mike Watkins said.

Samuelson reassures faculty before fall semester begins B y M I R I A M S H U M WAY BYU’s faculty and staff gathered Tuesday to hear from President Cecil O. Samuelson in the 2012 Annual University Conference. President Samuelson reported on current projects and developments on campus. The university president spoke on the unique platform BYU is built on, as a private university owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. President Samuelson reassured faculty members that the stature of BYU has never been higher in the Church and in the world. “More than ever the actions and behaviors of members of our community, both good and the bad, tend to be magnified in their impact in that of our work and in that of the Church,” President Samuel-

beginning of a new fall semester is a perfect time to reflect on progress and on the future. President Samuelson spoke

about the construction on campus with the new Heritage Halls dorms, the new Life Sciences Building that will eventually replace the Widtsoe Building, the expansion of the Bean Museum, the expansion of pedestrian overpasses and the new seating in the Marriott Center. He commented on the success of the year-old Student Wellness Program and the updated Fitness Center. Academic success continues to be top priority for BYU, President Samuelson said. Last year, the university received more applications for admission than ever before. He expressed his appreciation for the qualified and motivated individuals who will be teaching and helping the students who are attending BYU this fall. “I trust all of you know that Brigham Young University is a very special place,” President Samuelson said. “With so many

positive developments and progress we must never forget that we still have much yet to do.” The exposure of BYU continues to increase nationally through BYU football’s independent program and the expansion of BYUTV in the newly built BYU Broadcasting Center. President Samuelson said whatever changes may come, BYU will continue to make decisions that will best benefit the students of the university. “Let me also assure you that as our circumstances change and the needs of our students and community differentiate so must the way in which we as a university conducts its teaching, learning and other businesses being responsive to our current environment,” he said. President and his wife, Sharon, will address the entire student body in the fi rst devotional of the 2012 Fall Semester on Sept. 4 in the Marriott Center.

BYU tops list as stone-cold sober for 15th year A S S O C I AT E D P R E S S MORGA N T OW N, W.Va. (AP) — West Virginia University is back on top for the fi rst time in five years, bumping off

the 2013 edition of “The Best 377 Colleges,” which goes on sale Tuesday. There are 62 ranking lists, each based on surveys of 122,000 students during the last school year. Students answered 80 questions about academics, administration, campus life, the student body and themselves.

Step show brings quick footwork to Braden Megan Maginity

Daily Vidette News Editor

Joining in steps, ISU’s National Pan-Hellenic Council’s (NPHC) Greek organizations, Absolute Deviation and NOIR dance troop will take center stage and perform a three-hour show Friday. Since stepping has African roots and is a large part of Black History, many consider the dance a celebration, Courtney Abbott, NPHC President and Alpha Phi Alpha member, said. “My chapter has been stepping since 1971,” he said. “We are really excited to put on another great show this year.” The show begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Braden in the Bone Student Center on Friday. According to Abbott, the dance troops bring something different to the show each year. “Four Greek organizations are performing, along with the two

dance teams. The dancers are a release from the constant stepping and they provide a bridge from the different Greek acts. Also, this year’s theme is Decades,” he explained. Briana Madden, secretary of Absolute Deviation dance troop, said this year the audience can expect a big surprise. “The surprise is something the campus has never seen,” Madden said. “While the show is primarily put on by the Greeks, the dancers are invited each year to perform.” Madden said she is excited to see how the crowd reacts to their dances and likes to take in the crowd direction. “I can’t wait to see the support from all of our fans and ISU students,” she said. ISU’s Diversity Advocacy is sponsoring the Homecoming Step Show. Tickets are $10 for students and $15 for non-students.
