Program ranks second among brewing schools Students placed high at U.S. Open College Beer Competition By Brianne Twiddy Features Editor

When Steve Swaney moved to Mount Pleasant with his wife, he realized he needed a change after working in the pharmaceutical industry for more than 20 years. A graduate of Western Michigan University, Swaney, 46, found what he called a “life change” after enrolling in Central Michigan University’s year-long certification brewing course, part of the Fermentation Science Program. Two semesters later, three of Swaney’s Friday Fermentation group beers won medals in the U.S. Open College Beer Competition. The Fermentation Science Program placed second and was awarded four medals in the first U.S. Open College Beer Competition on July 11. The competition was held for universities teaching brewing courses to determine the top future brewers in the nation. The beers were submitted by students’ professors prior to the event and were judged early July in Ohio. CMU ranked second among top brewing schools in North America. “It’s outstanding that a first-year program came into this championship and took second place. It really shows how strong of a class was put together,” Swaney said. “There was a huge eruption on our group Facebook page where everyone was excited about it.” Swaney’s group won three medals: gold for the “Black Stallion,” silver for the “Victory IPA” and bronze for the “Caber Tosser Scottish Ale.” There were five categories judged: IPA, Witbier, German Pilsner, Imperial Stout and an “open” category for students to enter any style of beer. “Students worked so hard the first semester to learn the science behind brewing, and then spent second semester learning the actual brewing process,” said Cordell Demattei,

director of fermentation sciences. “They got to see that if they put the work in, something rewarding comes out. It’s validation that everything we’re doing is working.” In June, Demattei submitted five beers brewed by students into the open category, and single beers into the IPA, German Pilsner and Imperial Stout categories. The team entered eight kinds of beer. The Victory IPA and Holzfäller pilsner beer both took silver, the Black Stallion stout took gold and the Caber Tosser Scottish took bronze. “We have a unique situation where we brew in a commercial environment at Hunter’s Ale House, not just

a classroom,” DeMattei said. “This allows students to see what it’s really like to brew in a brewery and distribute it to actual customers.” The fermentation program had 13 students, most with backgrounds in science and microbiology. The one-year certificate program allows students to learn and practice the science behind the beer-brewing process step-by-step until the beer is packaged and ready to be served. “What surprised me was the science involved. There was a lot of biology and chemistry involved,” Swaney said. “Being a biochemist, it may have been easier for me, but I was surprised that the class went to

such depths with the basic science brewing process.” The program has a licensing agreement with Hunter’s Ale House, which allows students to brew on its system in exchange for owning and selling the products students create. The program also works with Mountain Town Brewering Company on their brewing and packaging systems. “(Hunter’s) has high scale equipment for the students, so it worked out really well,” DeMattei said. “We ended up having a great relationship with them, and it’s great to have that kind of environment for the students to brew at.”

Cheryl Hunter, owner of Hunter’s Ale House, said the beers made by students are more popular than they expected — the brewers can barely keep up with the demand. The beers brewed by students continually sold out through the summer, forcing the brewers to continue making them, Cheryl Hunters, the owner of Hunter’s Ale House said. The fermentation science certificate is being offered for its second year this fall and spring. The course begins with two classes — Science 320: Fundamentals of Fermentation Science and Science 321: Analyses of Fermentation — in the fall. It continues in the spring

About 8,000 students expected to attend Mainstage By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

Nearly 8,000 students are expected to flock to the parking lot near Kelly-Shorts Stadium this Saturday for Mainstage. The end of the summer student event is scheduled to run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in parking lot 62 East. This school year kick off eventallows for new and returning students to acclimate themselves to university life again. Dani Rossman, assistant director for the Office of Student Activities and Involvement, said an estimated 300 Registered Student Organizations and 100 local businesses are expected to be in attendance. Here, students will be able to pick up free handouts such

as planners, posters, and coupons for restaurants and shops around town. They’ll also have the opportunity to meet leaders of student organizations and sign up for clubs and volunteer opportunities. “Mainstage is a great opportunity for students to get involved on campus and to figure out (which student organizations) they want to spend their time with,” Rossman said. While Rossman said the event will be largely similar to past years, this year the Clare-based radio station 95.3 CFX will also be live on location. Students will be able to take part in giveaways from the contemporary hits radio station, as well as participate in on-air interviews. The event is free and open to the public.

A lot of the students are in the microbiology field and they’re instructing future brewmasters in our personal brewery,” Hunter said. “This gives us qualified people to do internships at Hunter’s post-certification.”

Community Stores and Chains: Businesses like Meijer, Walmart, local salons and stores will also be setting up booths for students to peruse and get themselves familiar with life outside of campus.

Alumni activists reminisce about 1970 Warriner Mall takeover By Andrew Surma Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Decades before the Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter movements, Central Michigan University student activists took a stand Mount Pleasant hadn’t seen before or since. With war raging in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and the Ohio National Guard killing of four student protesters at Kent State University, CMU students occupied Central Hall — the former ROTC building constructed in 1909 and later demolished in 1974. More than 100 students took control of the building for five days beginning May 4, 1970. The occupiers renamed the building “Freedom Hall,” the remaining red bricks of which make up the greek circle in Warriner Mall. Protesters also occupied Warriner Mall for 11 days, pitching tents and renaming it “People’s Park.” “It was the first time when there was any significant, large political movement on CMU’s campus,” said Central Michigan Life’s spring 1970 editor in chief Denny Adams, who was a student occupying

Central Hall. The occupation was a culmination of multiple movements on CMU’s campus, ranging from women’s rights to migrant workers’ rights, ignited by the shootings at Kent State, Adams said. The former students who occupied Central Hall, Warriner Mall and participated in other activism at CMU reunited May 20-21 at the “Mountain Madness No Class Reunion” at the Comfort Inn Hotel in Mount Pleasant. A group of more than 100 people planted a ceremonial tree in Island Park and went to Clarke Historical Library to help the library document the activism at CMU during the late 60s through mid 70s. “They’ve all gone their separate ways — some have become teachers, some have become further activists who founded organizations, some run companies. They’re all over,” said Bryan Whitledge, reformatting and imaging manager at Clarke Historical Library. “We said, ‘They’re getting up there in age — 65 to 70. Let’s get them back together.’” Whitledge believes the Mountain Madness No Class Reunion was likely the last

time the alumni would be able to come together to give a firsthand, oral history of the activism, movements and protests at CMU. The Clarke has a lot of the official documentation about what happened, Whitledge said, but it doesn›t have any first-hand testimony from the people who organized and participated in the protests. “They see our gaps, know what we have and don’t have and they can try to fill those gaps,” Whitledge said. “The Clarke wants to see what they have to round out the history, giving us another perspective other than the official perspective.” Former CMU student and creator of Mountain Rush, an alternative publication that served as a platform for activism at CMU from the late 60s to late 70s, Ron Williams said he thinks the protestors are “on the right side of history,” 46 years later. “At the time, it was a very polarized, angry, tense society we lived in and very violent. There was a lot of violence in America between police, military and anti-war protestors,” Williams said. “Everyone was flawed, but I think we were on the right side of history.”

ing the US invasion of Laos and Cambodia and of the shootings that left four students dead at Kent State University. • Amnesty for all students involved in the occupation of the building. “What we did during that time showed a dedicated small group of people that were totally committed to what they were doing and felt what they were doing was right in justice can make a huge difference,” Adams said. “You see that today with the Black Lives Matter movement and a number of other movements. I think activism is alive and well.” What happened in Mount Pleasant during the late 60s and early 70s wasn’t uncommon in college towns, Whitledge said, but it was uncommon at a small state school like CMU. “(CMU’s activists) would go to a rally at a Big Ten institution and say, ‘We’re from Central Michigan,’ and people would say, ‘What on Earth are you doing here?’” Whitledge said. “They were expecting the big schools. CMU was doing things and pushing the envelope in a way other small schools weren’t. Regional state universities weren’t doing this

at this time.” President William Boyd gave power to the students, Whitledge said. Unlike his predecessor Judson Foust, who embodied a loco parentis, or in the place of a parent, requiring female students to return to the dorms by midnight, but male students to return by 2 a.m. “President Boyd comes in the same time students are starting to become active. People are getting active across the country,” he said. “He is coming in with a wave of students who are embracing that. Rather than having tear gas and cops come out, (students) were allowed to express themselves.” The occupation, which resulted in an estimated $625 of damages to Central Hall according to a CM Life story, was resolved without violence largely due to Boyd’s willingness to negotiate with students. Born in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, Boyd, whose daughter Marcie was a student activist at CMU during the 70s, urged Michigan Gov. William Milliken and the Mount Pleasant City Commission not to extract the students occupiers by force. “(Boyd) was more wor-

ried about the reaction to the people occupying Central Hall than he was (worried about) the ones actually occupying it,” Whitledge said. “He knew they weren’t going to destroy the building. He was more worried about the people downstairs who wanted to kill them.” Clarke Historical Library archivist Marian Matyn said the records of Boyd’s correspondence with the city commission couldn’t be found in the city’s minutes, but Boyd warned against creating another Kent State situation. He encouraged making a peaceable connection with students. None of the students who took over Central Hall were prosecuted, but their other four demands were not met. Adams said the decision to leave wasn’t because of a threat, but because of the peaceful discussion between the students and Boyd. “Eventually, the takeover of Freedom Hall ended at a point when some people had to leave and everybody else just said ‘OK, we’re declaring it over then. We’ve made our point. There’s no reason to stay here,’” Adams said. “We didn’t know what they were going to do. We got plenty of press

coverage and if we stayed in, maybe it would have prompted them to send in the state police or the national guard.” CM Life reported on Monday, May 11, 1970, “After Boyd and the students engaged in discussion for over a half an

hour, both sides apparently came to understand the others’ position somewhat.” Mary “Irv” Irvine was one of the first student activists into Central Hall on May 4, 1970. “Did people run home to use their phones? No, they

used the phones that were in Central Hall’s offices,” Irvine said.” They were not only calling people locally to come and help occupy, they were calling universities all around the nation to find out what was going on at other schools.”

New hotel on campus staffed by students, alumni By McKenzie Sanderson, Andrew Surma Staff Reporter, Sports Editor

A six-story hotel staffed by Central Michigan University alumni and students was officially inducted into the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce Aug. 16 — a month after it housed its first guests. “Several of us, including our entire sales staff, are CMU alumni,” said Tamera Reder, the hotel’s director of sales. “We’re all very proud of our hotel, as you can see from the ‘flying C’ near the main entrance.” The Courtyard Mount Pleasant at Central Michigan University located on CMU’s campus officially opened July 13. About half of the Marriott’s staff positions have been filled by hospitality students, said General Manager Rick Rautanen. The hotel contains a meeting room that will also serve as classroom space for hospitality students. “This is a great opportunity (for students) to work in a living, breathing hotel while going to class,” Rautanen said. The day the hotel opened its doors, 12 rooms were booked. The $15 million project was funded by

Lodgco Hospitality, a Mount Pleasant-based company. CMU is leasing the land to Lodgco on a 30-year contract, which will earn the university $5.25 million. “This project has been the result of the tireless efforts of men,” Rautanen said. “Like a great idea needs a driver, it also needs an engine and we appreciate the confidence of our owners to finance this project.” Event management, accounting and marketing are other majors Rautanen said he thought could be eventually involved in working at the hotel for handson experience relating to their major. “Adding another hotel to the mix will help on sold-out weekends and peak times of the year such as CMU graduation and home football games,” said Chris Rowley, executive director of the Mount Pleasant Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. “The Courtyard by Marriott at Central Michigan University will give visitors another option to stay when in Mount Pleasant.” Walking into the hotel, the lobby features a snack market, sectioned off small-group meeting areas with individual televisions, a condensed Starbucks coffee shop, a full bar and business area for reading and printing.

CMED DEAN SNYDER DIES AT 52 Dr. Clint Snyder, dean of academic affairs for Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine, died July 15 in his home. He was 52 years old Dr. George Kikano, dean of the College of Medicine, sent a message to the college’s faculty Tuesday evening. “It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that I must inform you of the untimely and unexpected death of our dear colleague and dear friend. While Dr. Snyder’s time with us was short, his impact was great,” Snyder came to CMU in March. He had previously been senior associate dean for medical education and chair of the department of medical education at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Medicine.

No information is available as to the cause of death. A statement released by CMU said Snyder was known for his big DR. CLINT SNYDER smile and interest in helping students succeed. “Snyder had a gift for making all students and colleagues feel as if he had known them for years,” the statement read. “He was extremely charitable both within the college and in his endeavors assisting with orphanages overseas.”

Falling into place Thousands took part in the 20th annual Leadership Safari, building friendships with future classmates. By Kate Carlson Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

Richard Drummond | Assistsant Photo Editor A Leadership Safari team readies to catch their teammate at a trust fall exercise on Monday, Aug. 22 at the Indoor Athletic Complex.

undreds of people in hand-decorated, animal-themed vests welcoming thousands of freshmen was enough to make Dan Delgado a little nervous when he arrived at Central Michigan University on Sunday. “I thought I would be placed in a (Safari) group with my friends,” said the Chicago freshman. “There were so many people and groups.” Delgado was one of more than 2,100 participants in Leadership Safari — an extended orientation program that ran Sunday through Wednesday. The purpose behind the leadership program is to introduce freshmen and transfer students to campus and get them acclimated to college life before classes start the following week. Safari participants are placed randomly into groups of 10 and led by a student volunteer who serves as their “Safari Guide.” The guide facilitates group activities throughout the week. “My favorite part of Safari so far has been the challenge courses, because we had to work together,” Delgado said. “There’s no way (my group) couldn’t have had a connection after that.” This year marks the 20th anniversary of Safari. The program featured events that invited alumni staff members to help celebrate the anniversary.

Cheers erupted in the Bovee University Center as alumna Caitlin Casarez, a past Leadership Safari participant-turned guide, reunited with the Safari staff members she worked with during her time at the university. “Safari cemented CMU as my home,” said Casarez, of Fenton. “(It) made me a stronger leader and more outgoing.” Each participant was placed into one of 209 groups led by a Safari guide and support staff, totaling at 282 student volunteers. Speakers and activities were chosen to help participants branch out and connect with people and campus, according to Dani Hiar, the assistant director of the leadership program. “If a Safari participant has met and connected with one person,” Hiar said, “then we’ve been successful.” An incoming freshman or transfer student who participates in Leadership Safari is 1.5 times more likely to return to CMU for their second year than someone who didn’t take part in the program. For at least the last 10 years, Hiar said, there has been a no-

Safari. The increasing number of participants despite lack of promotion and decreasing overall enrollment speaks to Safari’s success, she said. Even though she was scared about attending college at first, Victoria Kosnik ended up having a good experience when she did Safari as a freshman. “I wanted to become a guide to make sure all of my participants had a good experience like I did,” said the Warren junior. That’s also the main reason Robert “Bobby” Hahn wanted to be a Safari guide this year. “I wanted to be that welcoming face to my group,” he said. “This being the 20th anniversary, that means we’ve grown this program like no other university has.” The Troy sophomore said the guides and other support staff had to go through training the week before participants arrived on campus. “(Safari) has always been student-run,” Hiar said. “So the staff is trying to meet the needs of participants, maybe giving them more attention in areas where they thought they needed it them-

selves when they went through Safari.” The next step for Safari is to make sure every incoming student who wants to attend is able to. Students were placed on a waitlist that was closed partway through the summer due to all of the spots being filled, but eventually everyone on the list was able to attend. “It’s hard from a logistical standpoint to plan events for thousands of students so everyone is sound, safe and with a back-up plan for the weather,” Hiar said. Safari guide group is assigned a group name, which is always the name of an animal. With the two decades Safari has been in existence and the growing number of group sizes, Hiar said her staff have fun researching new animals every year for the groups. “There are only about four animal names in existence that have been around since Safari’s first year,” Hiar said. If someone does Safari and becomes a guide, they can get “willed” the same animal group they had when they were a participant, she said. If someone doesn’t get willed their animal from their guide, then they draw a name from a hat, leaving some unused.

MANDATORY TRAINING IMPLEMENTED FOR INCOMING STUDENTS ON DRUGS, SEXUAL MISCONDUCT An online training course on sexual misconduct, substance abuse and healthy relationships is being introduced this year at Central Michigan University. The training, titled “Think About it,” is being offered through an online education provider that CMU has partnered with called Campus Clarity. The online course is mandatory for all freshmen and transfer students. The course can be accessed through students’ online accounts,

according to a mass email sent to students. According to the email, if incoming undergraduates and transfer students fail to complete the training their account will be placed on hold for spring semester course registration. The course is not mandatory for students returning to CMU, but is encouraged. Students who complete the training and bring a copy of their certificate of completion to The Office of Civil Rights and Institutional

Equity’s table at Mainstage will receive a free T-shirt. “We want to make sure students can identify resources (they might need) and create a safe environment,” said Title IX Coordinator Katherine Lasher. CMU has always provided students with training similar to “Think About it,” Lasher said, but this will be the first time CMU will offer this kind of training on an online platform. - Kate Carlson Managing Editor

Police: Greek Life not the problem on Welcome Weekend Brianne Twiddy Features Editor news@cm-life.com

Don’t blame the Greeks. When citations are written and arrests are made, it will likely be Welcome Weekend visitors paying the price for out-ofcontrol partying. Thousands of Central Michigan University students, and their friends, will descend upon Mount Pleasant between Thursday and Saturday. Out of 778 students who responded to a Central Michigan Life Twitter poll, 65 percent said they are planning to bring visitors to Welcome Weekend parties. Despite Main Street being the location of a majority of

the Greek Life houses, Mount Pleasant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne said fraternity and sorority houses are not problem areas during Welcome Weekend. “Greeks don’t cause as many issues. They usually don’t host large gatherings on big weekends,” Browne said. “They have policies to follow, along with national standards. That’s why it’s interesting people have that ‘Animal House’ mentality when it comes to Greek Life. They have more regulations than most organizations do.” Beta Theta Pi president Greg Pernican understands why Welcome Weekend parties are so highly anticipated by students. After three months away from each other, students are eager

to reconnect with friends and share stories of their summer. To help manage the enthusiasm, Greek organizations set strict safety measures prior to Welcome Weekend activities. “Our strategy involves making sure people that might make for an uncomfortable environment are removed from the property,” he said. “This keeps an uncomfortable situation from turning into a dangerous situation.” In 2015, the Mount Pleasant City Commission told police to issue fewer warnings and more tickets in response to an increase in noise and trash complaints from neighbors who live in student neighborhoods. Mount Pleasant police wrote nearly 200 citations that weekend. “Welcome Weekend is much bigger than Western Weekend. CMU students usually start classes be-

Because of the large number of visitors, Mount Pleasant vice mayor Allison Quast-Lents said the city has come to expect misbehavior during large student

different police departments from around the state, including Michigan State Police and St. Louis Police. After the 2015 Welcome Weekend, there was an adjustment in the enforcement of the nuisance party violations. Police officers now communicate with landlords when tickets are distributed to their leasing students. They’re informed that an incident took place, and if another occurs, they may be held accountable. Not every person attending a reported nuisance party receives a citation. If it’s not a repeated offense, some students escape with a warning. “Each situation is different. The officer makes a determination on whether to issue a warning or a citation. It’s up to them,” Browne said. While residents welcome the energy students being to the area, Quast-Lents said they remain concerned of visitors from other schools who create

get into fights, get publicly sick, or “feel the need to be destructive.” One way police have tried to address the behavioral risks is to connect with students on social media. Through Facebook and Twitter, officers educate students about the penalties of breaking the law and encourage them to keep each other safe. Browne said the main reasons students are cited is property damage, alcohol violations and noise disturbances. “We talk about personal safety, alcohol standards, things that get young students in trouble,” Browne said. Some offenses carry $100 fines; others could cost students up to $2,000. Assuming each person cited received a maximum fine, the 192 offenses from Welcome Weekend 2015 added up to $105,000. This excludes court costs, fees and potential jail time. Your chances of receiving a citation this weekend are greater than at any other time of the year.

problems downtown. “Big weekends help many businesses, filling hotel rooms, restaurants, and stores as parents help their kids move into their dorms and apartments,” Quast-Lents said. “As long as everyone remembers to be respectful of others, and how to follow the city’s community behavior standards, there is no way a busy weekend can hurt Mount Pleasant.” Rochester Hills senior Karen Nixon will be bar hopping throughout the weekend. She said it’s a common tradition for those of age to avoid Main Street and wander to downtown bars. “It’s not as wild compared to other schools. It’s as fun as the people you hang around,” Nixon said.

Library dean search begins after 28-year leader retires By Kate Carlson, Andrew Surma Managing Editor, Sports Editor

A 14-member committee was appointed to assist in the search for a new dean of CMU’s University Libraries after Tom Moore retired June 30. Moore led CMU Libraries for 28 years. The committee will begin reviewing candidates in early September, said Roger Rehm, vice president of information technology and the chair of the committee. He said the goal is to identify a new dean by January 2017. Kathy Irwin is serving as interim dean. “We all recognize that

“We’re looking for someone who has a really compelling vision for what the library can be today and into the future.” ROGER REHM

VICE PRESIDENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

libraries are an interesting place as they move from books to electronic resources,” Rehm said. “This involves rethinking the definition the library plays at CMU.” Rehm will be joined by the following 13 committee members: Interim Associate Dean of University Libraries Tim Peters, Exibits and Projects Coordinator of University Libraries Janet Danek, Director of Clarke Historical Library

Frank Boles, University Libraries faculty member Rui Wang, University Libraries faculty member Stephanie Mathson, University Libraries faculty member Robin Sabo, College of Medicine assistant professor Dr. Elizabeth Palmer, health professions faculty member Stephanie Richards, biology department chair Tracy Galarowicz, director of development and external relations of the College of Education and Human Ser-

vices Megan Moreno, interim associate dean of the College of Communication and Tom Moore Fine Arts Andrew Spencer, chair of the management department Luis Perez-Batres, chair and student representative BethAnne Kunert. “We tried to have a real cross section (on the search committee), representative of all the academic colleges,” Rehm said. Rehm said he was happy with the diverse group on the committee in terms of their different jobs at the university, interests and views. Rehm said Moore left the library in a good state, with a master plan in place. University President

George Ross called Moore a “wonderful” employee of the university in an interview in June. “Tom’s been great to work with. He and his wife Gail have been wonderful employees of the university, and wonderful community people,” he said. “Tom is a smart, engaging man. I appreciate my time with him and I wish him well in his retirement.” There were a lot of things that made Moore a good dean, Rehm said. He said a big part of the job involves administrative tasks, communicating with library staff members and higher ranking administrators across most academic colleges and departments. “We’re looking for someone who has a really compelling vision for what the library can be today and into the future.”

From rave cave to iTunes: the rise of Joe Hertler of the Rainbow Seekers Brianne Twiddy Features Editor news@cm-life.com

After a brief stint as a student at the School of Music at Central Michigan University, alumnus Joe Hertler decided he would rather play music outside of the classroom. Not long after quitting, he purchased a guitar and was convinced by a girl he had a crush on to perform at Kaya Coffee House’s open mic night. Now his band, Joe Hertler and The Rainbow Seekers, have two albums available on iTunes. The band performed at Max and Emily’s summer concert series on Aug. 8. Hertler answered some questions from Central Michigan Life after the band performed. “I was exhausted off four hours of sleep, so my band member slapped me in the face. That really got me ready to perform. Then it was a great time,” Hertler said. CM LIFE: When was the Rainbow Seekers created? HERTLER: It was at the end of college. We were just buddies that were hanging out, playing at Rubble’s Bar. We really want to do a jam session at Rubble’s unannounced one day. What’s it like to come back to your hometown to perform

with your band? It feels like coming home. This is where I spent six years of my life. I became myself here. I began playing music here as a freshman with a guitar. This is a big feeling of nostalgia. Did you see familiar faces in the crowd? I saw a ton of people I know. It feels great. We really need that support. We wouldn’t be able to keep this up if we didn’t — the job is way too hard. It’s nice to see people get up and move to the front and dance. Is there a difference between being a band in college and being a band after college? Was it hard to keep it going once you graduated? We still have a lot of fun playing together. There’s just more business involved. We want to make it a career and feed ourselves. We care about it more too — before it was just drinking beers and jamming. Now we try to do the best we can and be more serious about it. It’s a craft that we want to continue as long as we can. Do you have another job? Yes. You can only do this for so long. I work for the American Cancer Society. I work with a team of people to get businesses involved with the organization. Is it weird to go from that serious of a job to getting the

mindset to perform a fun show? It’s really weird going from the cubicle job of a major health organization to performing, but they support me. They give me the time off I need to do this. I’ve never been told no to a show. It’s never even been an issue as long as I get my work done. A part of it is your boss comes to a show and thinks ‘oh, you don’t totally suck’ and enjoy it.

It’s something we are passionate about, so it’s great people care enough to ask thoughtful questions about it. What’s a good memory you have from CMU? I ran rave cave in college.

I was always into techno music, I started ‘School the Groove’ that had a monthly ‘Groove Academy’. My friends would bring their alcohol and sit in the office and drink whiskey, hanging out and jamming. They can’t fire me now, so I can tell that story.

Students encouraged to use discretion when recording police By Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Lt. Cameron Wassman of the Central Michigan University Police Department expects to be recorded when he’s out on patrol during Welcome Week. “(Recording police) is obviously a popular thing to do, “Wassman said. “We operate under the assumption, and have for a long time, that no matter what we do or where we go, people are going to be recording us.” Over the past few months, several high profile incidents involving the shooting of black men by white police officers were brought to the public because a witness was recording the incident with their cell phone. The Washington Post tracked approximately 990 fatal shootings by police in 2015. The FBI does not record statistics on fatal shootings by police. The ubiquity of cell phone cameras has made it easier than ever for citizens to record police while they interact with the public. Being recorded while working can be distracting, Wassman said, but added that his department’s officers have nothing to hide. “(Recording is fine) as long as it’s not impeding any kind of investigation or creating a safety hazard,” Wassman said. “If you have to get out in the middle of Mission Street to film me on my traffic stop, that’s a problem.” Wassman said impeding police would involve any action that prevents police from doing their job and/or puts someone at risk, including the recorder. An article authored by attorney Joseph Richotte of Butzel Long law firm in Detroit cites Glik v. Cunniffe, a U.S. Court of Appeals for the First District in which the judge ruled the public and the press have a right to record police in public spaces.

Kaiti Chritz | File Photo Mount Pleasant police officers approach a crowd on South Main St., Thursday, Sept. 10.

Richotte says other courts have ruled in favor of recording police in similar cases in the public eye. “Generally, you can record police officers performing their duties in public places,” Richotte said in an email to CM Life. “On occasion, an officer may tell someone to stop recording police activity. For example, police officers are permitted to control the scene of an arrest or a traffic stop. If you are too close and may interfere or otherwise jeopardize the security or integrity of the scene, they can order you to move away to a reasonable distance.” Witnesses should be mindful of keeping distance if an incident involves a weapon. Wassman also said anyone recording investigations should consider the privacy of those involved in an incident. “Just be respectful. Give us space,” Wassman said. “Keep (the victim’s) interests in mind too. If somebody is beat up and bloodied, as that victim, think about what they would think of being posted all over the internet.” Police may also request phones or cameras if they believe the recorder captured evidence, said Mount Pleasant Police officer Jeff Browne. If a crime occurred during an interaction between police and the public, the video could be relevant to determining what hap-

pened and who the suspect is. Journalism faculty member Tim Boudreau said a citizen can request to see a warrant before handing over the phone. “They shouldn’t be able to seize your phone (without a warrant),” he said. “(And) if (police) tell you to destroy your recordings, I’d say ‘no.” Wassman said he had no knowledge of CMUPD having ever requested a phone recording of police as evidence in an investigation. An officer can arrest a citizen who refuses to comply with an order, Richotte said, even if the officer is wrong. If members of the press, or citizens, feel they have been unfairly asked to put away their camera it may be best to raise the issue later. “The better course of action is to get the officer’s name and badge number and make a record of everything that was said,” he wrote. Wassman and Browne both said officers do not receive formal training on how to deal with being recorded by the public, but that the issue is discussed frequently within the department. “From our perspective, it really doesn’t matter if we’re being recorded or not.” Wassman said. “We want to hold ourselves to a high standard. We want to act appropriately.”

Student to run for city commission seat By Andrew Surma Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

After being appointed to the Mount Pleasant planning commission on July 13, Brighton senior William Joseph is now eyeing a seat on Mount Pleasant’s city commission. The Brighton native, who will serve on the planning commission until Dec. 31, said he began considering running for city commission in April, but hesitated to mention his interest because it wasn’t finalized. Joseph’s name was added to the ballot during the first week of August. “I am a dedicated learner and motivated to make government work for those it represents,” Joseph said. “I am a part of our community that has a vision for the future. I am a community member who wants to get their hands dirty and knees scraped to make my home an excellent place. My place on the City Commission is to bring new ideas and work with others for the best possible outcomes for our whole community.” Joseph has attended CMU since 2010. His majors are mathematics and political science with an international relations and comparative politics concentration. After two mathematics courses this semester, Joseph will graduate with close to 150 credits earned. “This is a result of my stubbornness to find a major I was satisfied with,” Joseph said about his six-year stint in college. “Although it has taken me extra time to graduate, I am proud to say I chose two subject fields I have a passion for and will benefit me professionally.” After attending Washtenaw Community College for two

years, Joseph spent four years serving in CMU’s Student Government Association. He held roles including academic senator, serving on the Libraries Committee and Police Oversight. Joseph said he participated in Mount Pleasant’s Citizens Academy, which he said gave him “in-depth guide to the many functions of the city and an appreciation for the infrastructure and planning that creates one.” CM Life: Why municipal government? Why now? JOSEPH: I think municipal government is the most direct way people can make an impact in government. The ability to really focus on improving a community without the distractions, especially partisan conflicts, is attractive to me. Often times national and state politics get caught up in the squabble and then communities suffer. At the local level, there is conflict and ideological differences to work around, but the larger focus is the community where you reside and that presents an opportunity to achieve great work. I’ve always wanted to be involved in municipal government and I had several people approach and encourage me to do. I decided to take a chance and get involved. It’s something that I always thought would be after I finished school, but when opportunity knocks, you should never ignore it. What role do CMU students play in your goals? As a current student and a year-round resident of Mount Pleasant, you cannot ignore the importance of CMU students to this community. I think I will be able to give a perspective from a point of view that has been quiet in local affairs. Being part of a younger generation, it gives me the most opportunity to shape

the long term vision and goals of the community. I intend on being connected with the Student Government to be current on the needs and vision of the student body. Obviously I’ll be on campus to talk to and listen to what people expect from a great community. How will you work to engage student interest in municipal affairs? I think just knowing that a student such as myself can become more involved with the city will spark interest. Mount Pleasant has a lot of opportunities that go missed by many students and I hope to bring attention to those. I feel many of my generation and younger feel disenfranchised by the political process and it creates apathy for the whole system. I think to see one of your own friends, classmates or peers given an opportunity to affect change gives a more tangible outlook of government and that I think is key to fighting the apathy and frustration many feel. I also intend to seek out student opinion in a variety of ways. There is an old saying that goes, “once you know you can’t ignore” I hope that I can help more students know what is happening in their city. Where do you see yourself in 10 years? What are your goals politically? In 10 years, I hope to be done with my masters and potentially a PhD. I hope I still have a seat at the table when it comes to politics, but my role may be different. I think time will tell where I end up. Elected office is something I aspire to, but I would also be comfortable doing socioeconomic research, writing for publication in a journalism aspect or being a school board member and doing the 9 to 5 teaching or a similar career in my field.

R Former Chip competes at 2016

Olympic Games, says he’ll be back in 2020

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

ompeting in the Olympics for his father’s home country of Samoa had always been a dream for former Central Michigan discus thrower Alex Rose. He lived that dream this summer. The 2014 CMU alumnus competed in the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “Competing in front of thousands and thousands of people there, I got all this adrenaline. I had my season’s best throw and I knew I wanted to be the best I can be,” Rose said. “I want to be one of the guys that people look up to and model technically and try to throw like. That’s kind of when I knew I had to train for the Olympics.” He did not advance beyond the first wave of competition after posting a 57.24 meter throw — the farthest of his three throws in Rio. Rose needed a throw of 65.50 meters or more to advance. Although he fell short of his ultimate goal of making it onto the champions’ podium — a feat never accomplished by a Samoan Olympian — Rose’s journey to Rio was rewarding. The former Chippewa officially qualified for the 2016 Olympics after a discus throw of 65.74 meters — a Samoan national record. He accomplished the throw during a competition at Claremont College in California. To make it to Rio, Rose had to be in the top 32 discus throwers in the world

according to the International Association of Athletics Federations’ World List. After the Claremont competition, he was ranked 23rd, punching his ticket to the Olympics. His 65.74 meter throw was the eighth-furthest throw in the world at the time, but now sits at 23rd on the all-time list. “Before that throw, my best throw was a 61.35 meter throw,” Rose said. “It was a stretch to even hope for a chance at getting to Rio, but I trained like a madman and it all came together.” Rose dealt with adversity along the way. While competing in Jamaica in May, Rose had “wear and tear” in his pectoral muscle. The injury kept him from throwing for a couple weeks. He had to drop a competition in Jamaica due to the soreness and remained out until June 23 when he traveled to Madrid. He said the injury disabled him from training at full capacity. “A bunch of scar tissue built up where I had my pec reconstruction surgery in 2014,” Rose said. “I hadn’t been able to practice much for the past couple months because of the injury, but I was extremely confident going into the meet. I thought my adrenaline during the Olympics would sort everything out.” Although Rose was still enduring the injury during the time of his competition, he tried to battle through the pain. “It’s funny what the human mind can do,” Rose said. “I had all these signs telling me that I wasn’t healthy enough to compete, but I still tricked myself into thinking I would be a superhero on the day (of the competition) and shock the world. I still

“I had all these signs telling me that I wasn’t healthy enough to compete, but I still tricked myself into thinking I would be a superhero on the day (of the competition) and shock the world. I still thought I would make it happen at the Olympic Games. So when the fairy tale ending doesn’t happen, it’s disappointing to say the least.” ALEX ROSE, CMU Alumnus Photo Courtesy of Alex Rose

thought I would make it happen at the Olympic Games. So when the fairy tale ending doesn’t happen, it’s disappointing to say the least.” If Rose was fully healthy, he believes he would have qualified for the finals. Rose flew to Rio alone. None of his family members were able to accompany him on his journey due to expenses. Even without his family members by his side, Rose said he still received support. He was able to connect with family and friends through Facebook and was flooded with congratulatory messages and posts to his wall. “My family’s support has been tremendous,” Rose said. “I’ve spent many hours talking with them on my apartment’s balcony at the (Olympic) village. It was very relaxing for me to just zone out and talk about things back home while watching the Olympic fountain.” Before he left for Rio, Rose trained at Aurora University, where he is a graduate assistant and coaches discus throwers on the track and field team. As for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Rose says he will be more than ready for the challenge. “There’s no doubt I’ll be competing (in the 2020 Olympics),” Rose said. “Most discus throwers hit their prime in their late 20s, early 30s. I’m 24, so I’ll still be improving for a while.” Despite winning the Michigan high school state championship in shot put and taking second in discus during his senior season at Ogemaw Heights High School, Rose wasn’t recruited by any colleges for track and field.

Seniors look to lead Chips to MAC title By Austin Denean Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Coming off its first MidAmerican Conference West Division title since 2009, the Central Michigan football team is coming into this season with championship goals in mind. After losing five starters to graduation, CMU returns more than 12 starters from last year’s team. The Chippewas still have important holes to fill after losing leading tackler Kavon Frazier and center Nick Beamish to the NFL. Senior defensive back Tony Annese will look to fill the hole left by Frazier’s departure. Annese, who was named to the Jim Thorpe award

Watch List for best defensive back, is coming off a season where he led CMU with two interceptions and was second in tackles with 84. For the third season, the Chippewas’ offense will be managed by senior quarterback Cooper Rush, who compiled a CMU record of 3,896 yards passing to go along with 25 touchdowns last season. The Lansing Catholic High School graduate was one of 30 players named to the Manning Watch List during the preseason, an award given to the top quarterback in the nation.

Jahray Hayes

He was also one of 80 players named to the Maxwell Award Watch List, which goes to the country’s player of the year. CMU opens its season Sept. 1 against Presbyterian at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium before heading to Stillwater to take on Oklahoma State on Sept. 10. Other key games include a home game against Western Michigan on Oct. 1, before hitting the road on back-toback weeks against Northern Illinois on Oct. 15 and Toledo on Oct. 22 All three teams were selected to finish above CMU in the MAC West in the preseason MAC media poll. CMU was picked to finish fourth in the division. CMU will also be without sophomore running back Romello Ross the entire season. After breaking onto the scene late last season, Ross tore his ACL in a non-contact drill on Aug. 18.

LEADING THE TEAM Head coach John Bonamego will return for his second campaign with the Chippewas. He was able to lead CMU to a winning record during his first season as head coach despite dealing with health issues leading into last season. Bonamego was the fourth coach in CMU history to accomplish this feat.

With 11 returners, women’s brew up the soccer ready for 2016 season perfect résumé By Kullen Logsdon and Von Lozon Staff reporters sports@cm-life.com

Social Cafe is looking for interns for Fall 2016. As a social barista, you’ll manage all social media profiles for one of our partners. This includes creating engaging content and working closely with account strategists, designers and business owners.

Following back-to-back six-win seasons, the Central Michigan women’s soccer team is looking to take the next step in 2016. Ask head coach Peter McGahey and he’ll say it all comes down to one thing — leadership. “Anytime you’re looking to raise the bar, you’re looking for leadership and for committed players who have a strong desire to raise their play,” McGahey said. “The evolution of the leadership by our players has been really good. (We’ve had) more time to understand the process that makes us successful on the field, in the classroom and in the community.” The Chippewas return 11 players from a 2015 team that went 6-10-3 (5-5-1 Mid-American Conference) last season. Among those returning is senior Eliza Van de Kerkhove, who led CMU in both shots (39) and shots on goal (22). Van de Kerkhove earned All-MAC Second Team honors. Alongside Van de Kerkhove, CMU brings back four sophomores who made the All-MAC

Freshman Team in 2015. Alexis Pelafas, Mary Carlson, Madison Pogarch and Zoie Reed all return after a season of significant game experience. Last season, Pelafas led the Chippewas with four goals during her freshman season. Her eight points tied for the team lead. The sophomore has already tied her goal total from a season ago during the first two games of 2016. As of Aug. 24, Pelafas is tied for the most goals in the NCAA. “We came together so much as a team in every single way,” Pelafas said. “We push each other on and off the field and you feel it. You feel it from every person on the field. The coaching has been outstanding and they are putting us where we need to be.” Pogarch finished the season with seven points on two goals and three assists. Reed earned six shutouts in goal and finished with a 6-8-2 record. She collected 71 saves on the season and allowed a mere 1.25 goals per game. Senior Kristen Knutson has been CMU’s starter in goal to this point in the 2016 campaign. Through two games, the Minnesota native has allowed

one goal on seven shots and has an undefeated record in net. “We’re in a place where we have to keep working,” McGahey said. “Just because you made the All-MAC Freshman Team doesn’t mean you’re going to have the same role this season.” Central Michigan heads home to play Youngstown State, Aug. 26, and Kansas State, Aug. 28. “You’re always looking to test yourself and explore yourself and go through some successes and adversities,” he said.

Volleyball hopes to create ‘championship culture’ in Gawlik’s first season By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Fans got their first glimpse of the Central Michigan volleyball program under its new head coach Mike Gawlik Aug. 20 at its annual maroon and gold scrimmage. Gawlik said he saw good plays from all 14 women on his team, but there is a lot of room for improvement. “We want it to be the worst match we play all year,” he said. “Some players are younger and some of them are playing a different position or carrying on a different leadership role. This was our first opportunity to get some of the kinks out.” The main goal for his inaugural season, Gawlik said, is to “establish a championship culture” within the volleyball program. He hopes for

the Chippewas to compete with and become one of the elite teams in the Mid-American Conference. The Chippewas have missed the MAC Tournament for three consecutive seasons. Last year, they finished 1118 overall and 6-10 in conference play. “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think the MAC Tournament is a possibility for us,” Gawlik said. “A successful season for us would be something where we really get our culture and our chemistry going in the right direction. I think that winning will be a byproduct of that.” Gawlik mentioned outside hitters Jordan Bueter, Jessica Meichtry and Taylor Robertson as experienced assets to his team. The three juniors each scored more than 300 points during the 2015 season. In terms of improvement, Gawlik said he will focus on his younger

middle blockers most. Freshmen Jayla Wesley, Allison Knoll and sophomore Lexi Duello are three players he hopes to get on the radar. “We need to solidify our middle blockers as being a weapon for us,” he said. “Sneaking some productivity out of them early in the year and getting teams to really respect them as top notch performers is a goal of ours.” CMU opens its season Aug. 26-27 at the Indiana-Purdue-Indianapolis Tournament. They will face Southern Illinois, the host Jaguars and Duquesne. The following weekend, the Chippewas head to East Lansing to play in the Auto Owners Insurance Spartan Invitational against Florida, Michigan State and Morgan State. CMU’s first home game is scheduled for Sept. 30 against Northern Illinois. The Huskies are the defending regular season MAC champions.

Pelowski confident for second season with field hockey By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

For second-year field hockey head coach Molly Pelowski, last season’s 2-15 record was less than stellar. For Pelowski, 2016 is a redemption year.

Ally Davis | Sophomore backer

“I really feel like this year we have a much larger talent pool to draw from,” Pelowski said. “We got great depth through the lineup. I’m feeling pretty confident that we’re going to be able to give the opponent a lot more looks.” Scoring goals was a struggle for the Chippewas last season, averaging only one goal per game while their opponents averaged close to four. CMU averaged only five shots on goal per game, many of which came from now-graduated midfielder Kaysie Gregory — an offensive threat who’s void will be difficult to fill. “Our emphasis is team offense. I think right now, it’s hard to predict who is going to really step up and be a goal scorer,” Pelowski said. “I can tell you right now that we have quite a few people in practice who are scoring goals. The effort isn’t going to be on one person’s shoulders.” Notable returners for the Chippewas include Belgium native senior Maude Stellars, who scored four goals last

season, and junior Alex Gonda. “They’re really going to lead our program to creating more offensive threats,” Pelowski said. “We’re just trying to develop a greater intensity when we play.” In addition to the loss of Gregory, goalkeeper Sadie Lynn Reynolds also graduated in the spring, leaving the job to either sophomore Lilly Amadio or freshman Abigail Ebersole. Amadio

received no playing time last season after suffering an injury. CMU kicked off its season on Tuesday with a 4-3 victory in an exhibition match against University of Toronto. “We’re much more fit than we were last year,” Pelowski said. “I feel like we’re just going to be able to jump right out of the gate playing at a high level.”

Cross country teams look to reload, chase MAC titles By Ryan Warriner Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Last season ended with Head Coach Matt Kaczor calling the Mid-American Conference Championship meet a “stepping stone” for Central Michigan men’s and women’s cross country teams. This year, the women’s team looks to chase a possible MAC Championship — the first since 2000 — after its thirdplace finish last season. Meanwhile, the men’s team must fill the hole left by the loss of its top runners from last year.

IMPORTANT LOSSES The men’s team enters 2016 without graduated Nate Ghena and Silas DeKalita. Ghena (First Team All-MAC)

finished fifth at the MAC Championship last season. DeKalita (Second Team AllMAC) finished 14th. Kaczor called Ghena a “top 10” alltime CMU runner last season. The women’s team also have a hole to fill in the loss of Alyssa Dyer. She finished 18th at the MAC Championship and was the fourth CMU runner across the finish line.

KEY RETURNERS Luckily, both the men’s and women’s teams are returning a promising core who, based on last season, are ready to fill the shoes of the departed runners. The women’s team returns all but one of its runners, Dyer, who placed for them at the MAC Championship, where the team finished third behind Eastern Michi-

gan and Bowling Green. Among those returners is junior Kirsten Olling. Olling led the Chippewas in every race last year. She finished the season with First Team All-MAC honors by placing seventh at the MAC Championship. Other key returners include senior Kelly Schubert and sophomores Samantha Allmacher and Megan O’Neill. Schubert finished in 11th at the MAC Championship while O’Neill came in 15th and Allmacher took 22nd. The men will look to junior Joseph Emmanuel and sophomores Luke Anderson and Mark Beckmann to replace Ghena and DeKalita. Anderson finished 23rd at the MAC Championship followed by Emmanuel in 27th

and Beckmann in 34th. Also returning for the men are seniors Spencer Nousain and Casey Voisin.

CRUCIAL RACES: The Roy Griak Invitational, Sept. 24, offers a chance early in the season for CMU to see how it stacks up against stronger competition than what they’ll see at the MAC Championship in November. Schools like Michigan State, Minnesota and Colorado State will be in attendance. Last season, the women placed 14th and the men finished in 18th. The Pre-National Meet, Oct. 15, is a warm up to the MAC Championship and a preview of how CMU might finish if they qualify for the NCAA National Championship meet in November.

The MAC Championships on Oct. 29 in Kent, Ohio is the culmination of the season. The women will be competing against a full field of 12 MAC teams, while the men will only be competing against eight teams — Akron, Bowling Green, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, Kent State, Miami (Ohio), Ohio and Toledo. The first race for the Chippewas will be the Jeff Drenth Memorial 5K, the only home meet for both teams, on Sept. 2 at Pleasant Hills Golf Course.

Athletics department redefines seven new administrative positions By Von Lozon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Administrative changes have been made to Central Michigan University’s Athletics Department staff. Director of Athletics Dave Heeke announced July 8 in a press release that the department has redefined seven administration positions — six of the positions will be filled by current administrators. Former CMU journalism professor Jim Knight has been appointed the new assistant athletics director for communications and marketing. Rob Wyman, the former assistant athletics director for communications, is now the assistant athletics director for sport administration and communication.

“Jim gives us an experienced team leader and a strategic planner,” said Dave Heeke, athletic director and associate vice president. “Already, he has worked to improve our internal and external communications.” Knight graduated from CMU in 1984. His work includes 29 years in daily newspapers, managing and sports editor of The Ann Arbor News, lecturer in the CMU journalism department and director of marketing and communications with the CMU College of Medicine. Knight’s time with The Ann Arbor News included him leading the coverage of the University of Michigan’s athletics during a transition period in 2009. That year The News switch to a primarily online format. Here are the other rede-

fined positions, according to the release: • Craig Willey, formerly the senior associate athletic director for external operations, is now the deputy athletic director/external operations. • Cristy Freese, formerly the senior associate athletic director for sport administration, is now the executive associate athletics director/sport administration. • Krystal Swindlehurst, formerly the assistant athletic director for internal operations and human resources, is now the senior associate athletics director of internal operations. • Mike Dabbs, formerly
