CMU liable for millions in MPSERS costs, starting in 2014 By Aaron McMann Managing Editor and Eric Dresden Editor-in-Chief
The amount of money recorded as unrestricted net assets, recently retooled as “total net position” in the accounting world, might look a little different come 2014. Following the 2014 fiscal year, Central Michigan University will begin to allocate at least $72 million out of the $279.6 million currently sitting in reserves to cover unfunded liabilities for pension costs for current employees under the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System. In June, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, used by state and local governments as the source of generally-accepted accounting principals, approved two new pension standards that require state and local schools to add an additional liability to their financial statements. GASB statements No. 67 and 68 change existing guidance and reporting of government bodies that provide their employees with pension benefits. CMU has been paying into MPSERS since 1996 and is legally obligated to pay the $72 million, classified as an unfunded liability, by 2036. For the 2012-13 fiscal year, CMU will pay a pre-funded pension rate of 3.21 percent while accruing an unfunded liability of 13.41 percent. Those costs will increase for the 2013-14 fiscal year when CMU is due to pay 3 percent of normal pension costs, while accruing a 16.61 percent liability. A MPSERS| 2A

Isabella County Jail often has capacity issues, difficult to monitor inmates Shelby Miller Senior Reporter
Isabella County jail’s maximum capacity is 196
Yeagley not concerned with rising violations By Shelby Miller Senior Reporter
Criminal statistics dramatically increased in 2011, but Central Michigan University Police Chief Bill Yeagley said the numbers aren’t necessarily what they seem. The total number of calls/activities more than doubled over the past two years, with 2009 at 10,859 and 2011 at 21,507, but Yeagley said that doesn’t mean there more accounts of crime. “It’s not just people calling in,” he said. “It’s things we’re doing. We’re working harder.” CMU’s police department increased foot patrols in 2011, which led to more officers in the field and more interactions. Also, the statistics include new programs, safety presentations, property checks and bike patrol, Yeagley said. “The crime that occurs on this campus is fairly consistent,” he said. “I don’t know the problem is any worse, we’re just paying closer attention to a few things because we care about safety.” A CRIME| 2A
inmates, but typically it’s filled over that number. Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said usually the jail holds at least 10 inmates over capacity. “The average is 207 or 208 inmates,” he said. “Most jails in Michigan have more than what they’re supposed to have.” When the jail reaches capacity, there are further safety concerns to worry about. Mioduszewski said at one point the jail was up to 220 to 225 inmates. However, according to the 2010 Isabella County Jail Population Information System, the average daily population was even higher, at 233 inmates, which adds risk. “With more inmates placed in a cell, tempers are more easily flared, leading to arguing and fighting,” Mioduszewski said. “As numbers get higher it does cause problems for the jail itself. Whereas if they have their room, things don’t get so tense typically.” With limited correction officers and a limited budget, Mioduszewski said monitoring inmates becomes difficult as well. “We would love to have more
correction officers, but budget doesn’t allow that,” he said. “What we do is ship inmates to other jails that have room.” Compared to jails throughout the state, Mioduszewski said the Isabella County jail is average size, with jails to the north being typically smaller and jails to the south being typically larger. Regardless, State Office Administrator Ken Brzozowski said not all jail capacity numbers reported are what they seem. “There’s different things when you look at overcrowding,” he said. “Is it a capacity issue or how they are using the facility?” He said some jails have a larger capacity than what they’re operating under because they can’t afford to open additional beds allotted.

MIDDLE: An inmate writes in one of the newer minimum security jail cells Sunday morning. Medium and minimum security jail cells run the highest risk of overcrowding because of the combination between those awaiting their pre-sentence and others who have been classified because of their criminal background, not necessarily because of a violent crime. BOTTOM: Three female inmates sit on their beds shortly after waking up in their jail cell. There are a total of four female cells in the county jail, which occupy up to 10 female inmates, with one additional cell if needed.
Former Congress members Barbara Kennelly, Steve Kuykendall speaking on campus today By Andrea Peck Staff Reporter
Students will have the chance to learn about the upcoming election and the value of a public service career when two former members of Congress visit campus. Former Congresswoman Barbara Kennelly, D-Conn., and former Congressman Steve Kuykendall, R-Calif., will visit the Park Library Auditorium today from 3:30 until 5 p.m. to lead a panel called Congress to Campus. The panel will be moderated by Professor Maxine Berman, CMU’s Griffin
Endowed Chair in American Government. Kennelly represented the First Congressional District of Connecticut in the House of Representatives Barbara Kennelly from 1982-99. Kuykendall represented California’s 36th Congressional District in the House of Representatives from 1999 until 2001. “They will focus on basic issues and questions on the 2012 elections,” said Joyce Baugh, profes-
sor of political science. The panel will cover the year’s elections as well as discussion of the jobs of the former members of Congress. This year will be the sixth time CMU has hosted the program. The Stennis Center and the Association of Former Members of Congress provide transportation costs for the speakers to and from the host school. The host school covers accommodations and meals, as well as an administrative fee. “I suppose that it was originally my idea to host it. In January of
2000, I learned about the program from William “Brother” Rogers, Assistant Director of Programs at the Stennis Center for Public Service Leadership (one Steve Kuykendall of the sponsoring organizations). I suggested to my colleagues that we participate in the program and they agreed,” Baugh said in an email. Baugh said Kennelly and Kuykendall want to show students that even people with differing opin-
ions can work together. “They want to show that you can disagree without being disagreeable,” Baugh said. “They want to emphasize students choosing public service jobs in a time where not many do. They want to show students, through their own experiences, the positive benefits of getting involved in public service jobs and even if you’re not interested in that, there are other ways to get involved.” Berman deferred all comment to Baugh. studentlife@cm-life.com

MPSERS |
State University, Ferris State University, Western Michigan University and Eastern Michigan University are the others — were required to participate by law. “This is across the country. In Michigan, almost every unit of government has this issue,” said David Burdette, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services. In 1974, the state shifted 9 percent of assessment pension costs to the university. A year later, in 1975, healthcare — dental and vision were soon added — was also added to the program. By 1994, the state shifted the full cost of MPSERS, including the state’s unfunded liabilities, to the universities enrolled. And while a law change in 1996 prevented any new university employees from earning MPSERS benefits, CMU still has has 414 active employees under the MPSERS umbrella, with another 896 receiving retiree benefits. An analysis within the last year by Plante & Moran, shows CMU owing an estimated $72 million of about $333 million in pension costs from the seven public universities enrolled in MPSERS. Mary Hill, assistant controller of Financial Services, works on a state-wide task force with the other universities in the MPSERS program. “As different legislators want to do things in Lansing, that kind of draws the task force back together,” she said.
CONTINUED FROM 1A “It’s amazing how folks always talk about how much we get from the state,” said University President George Ross, pointing out the $11 million CMU pays into MPSERS each year. “The reality is we write a check right back for MPSERS.” On top of the $72 million, Ross said Plante & Moran, CMU’s auditing company, estimates the university may have to pay an additional $110 million as an unfunded liability for health care costs. He hopes to know as soon as December. Ross said the university is unsure of what that means for future projects, including the proposed biosciences building, which is slated to to get $30 million in state funding and CMU is responsible for at least $60 million, some of which would come from the unrestricted net assets. “The challenge is, when you dissect unrestricted net assets, significant amounts of that is designated,” Ross said, pointing to more than $30 million in unrestricted net assets functioning as an endowment for grants and scholarships. MPSERS, comprised of a pension plan and health care benefits for public school employees, was established and fully funded by the state of Michigan in 1945. Including CMU, seven state universities — Michigan Technological University, Northern Michigan University, Lake Superior

alcohol-related arrests and violations. From 2010 to 2011, drug law violations resulting in an arrest rose from 28 to 59. Likewise, drug disciplinary referrals rose from 79 to 159. However, Yeagley said one key factor in the 2011 increase was the legalization of medical marijuana. Although the drug is legal with a medical marijuana card, it was still not allowed to be used on campus. Arrests regarding liquor law violations jumped from 96 in 2010 to 149 in 2011. However, student residence disciplinary alcohol referrals decreased from 529 in 2010 to 445 in 2011. Yeagley said he does not believe there are more people drinking, rather there has been an increase in enforcement.

CORRECTIONS An Oct. 5 article published by Central Michigan Life, “Stagnant budget stifles Program Board” had several inaccuracies. It was also reported that Program Board’s budget has been at $300,000 every year for the last eleven years. In actuality Program Board’s budget has ranged from $290,000 to $325,000 depending on the total amount that is available in the Campus Programming fund for the year. The Campus Programming fund has been at the same rate same for that timeframe. The cost of production for the B.o.B concert was not $50,000 as originally reported, but priced to be between $30,000 and $35,000. While originally reported that the band’s $250,000 price tag was too much of a burden on Program Board’s budget, in reality, Program Board did not bring Sugarland to the Event’s Center because they could not reasonably expect to cover the band’s cost with ticket revenue.

Also on the rise was burglary, which more than doubled from 2010 to 2011, with 15 campus burglaries reported. However, Yeagley said the increase isn’t a concern, especially when compared to 2009’s 27 burglaries. “Seven more burglaries over a 365 day period. That’s really not alarming,” he said. Also included in the total are calls people make for assistance, which aren’t considered a criminal activity. “We’re counting more services we provide in a deeper way,” he said. Breaking down the statistics further, CMU saw an increase in both in drug- and

TRISHA UMPFENBACH//STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Mount Pleasant residents Sandra Kay Bauder hugs Patricia Spence Saturday morning at the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St. “Ain’t nothing going to slow me down,” Spence said. Both women have been friends for five years and suffer from polio, a viral disease that causes inflammation of nerve cells.
JAIL | CONTINUED FROM 1A About 75 to 80 percent of the inmate population is made up of Isabella County violators, Mioduszewski said. The other 20 to 25 bed spaces, the jail rents out to Westland and Livonia inmates, jailed for ordinance violations and misdemeanors. “It’s lesser crimes that they commit,” Mioduszewski said. “We don’t house felons. A lot of time our public is concerned.” Inmates who spend time in Isabella County from downstate average a 21-day stay. Aside from rented space, the majority of the jail is filled with those arrested in the county, many of which only stay eight to 10 hours, while others are there up to a year and a half. “Anyone who is arrested and needs to go to jail on state or local charges will come here,” Mioduszewski said. “The only exception to that could be that if it is a federal law that is being violated, which is a small portion.” The downstate rented bed space is making Isabella County money. This year, the county received just under $1 million for renting out space, which went into the county’s general fund, Mioduszewski said. An additional $20,000 comes from the jail’s estimated booking fee income. Each inmate is charged a
$12 booking fee, and $2 goes to the state, the other $10 goes to training the jail’s correction officers. Doing the math, it would seem as if that means the jail would house roughly 2,000 inmates each year. However, the number is much higher.
Mioduszewski said the jail averages 5,000 bookings a year. The estimated booking fee income is less than half of that because many inmates don’t have money on them when they’re arrested to pay the booking fee. “Some don’t pay the booking fee because they don’t have money,” he said. “A lot of the people we deal with aren’t financially set.” metro@cm-life.com

Freshman drop result of new goals in recruiting
OL FRIENDS O H FA M C JO I LY S BS
By Annie Harrison Senior Reporter
Interim Director of Admissions Kevin Williams said the 12.4 percent decrease in freshman enrollment at Central Michigan University was by design. Williams said CMU implemented more stringent academic requirements for admitting students last year. He said the opening of the College of Medicine has encouraged the university to recruit students of a “higher caliber.” “We think the actual class size this year might be a good fit for CMU,” he said. Williams said the dip in freshman enrollment has not had an impact on the number of freshman classes offered. Class size only becomes a problem when there are too many students and not enough resources for everyone because faculty get overwhelmed, he said. As the number of high school graduates in Michigan decreases, competition among universities to recruit students increases. Williams said CMU has to rebrand itself to receive more national recognition. The 2011-12 ACT College Readiness Snapshot for Michigan shows that out of the 106,804 students who took the ACT, only 18,904 met or exceeded the mean score of 19.6 for all subjects. As a result, Williams said all higher education institutions in Michigan are attempting to recruit the same 17.7 percent of high school students. CMU’s undergraduate application states the freshman class has an average high school GPA of 3.3 and an average ACT score of 22, although this data does not represent a minimum or cutoff for admission. Williams said CMU is looking to recruit students with a high school GPA of 3.5 and an ACT score of 25 or higher. With the pool of high school students in Michigan shrinking, Williams said, CMU has to recruit out-of-state. He said the university recently hired Amy Hauenstein, full-time admissions adviser for the state of Illinois, because CMU attracts many students from the Chicago area. CMU’s recruiting efforts won’t be limited to the Midwest, Williams said. CMU will be reaching out to students in Florida, Texas and California. While CMU has recruited outside of Michigan in the past, Williams said this enrollment strategy is now moving “full steam ahead.” Just because students are coming from outside Michigan doesn’t mean they will leave once they graduate, he said. Students in health programs, for instance, will have to commit to practicing within Michigan to address the state’s needs for more doctors. New science and health programs on campus will help CMU attract higher caliber students from across the country, Williams said. By the time the incoming freshmen are seniors, he said he expects to see more students majoring in science, health professions, engineering and business. “We’re undergoing a bit of a change in our identity as an institution,” he said. As more students are enrolled based on stricter requirements, Williams said he hopes to see more students take value in their education at CMU. “CMU has had a past reputation of being a party school,” he said. “We’re trying to shed that.” Despite the decreasing size of the freshman class, more students are signing up for Leadership Camp and Leadership Safari at CMU, Residence Hall Assembly President Alyson Cole said. Cole, an East Grand Rapids junior, said students who participate in Leadership Camp or Leadership Safari, are more likely to stay at CMU and benefit academically from the experience. A FRESHMAN| 5A

Missing out Academic commitments cause students to make sacrifices By Adriana Cotero Staff Reporter
Between homework, working and having something resembling a social life, it’s not easy for students to fit in family-time. Often overlooked is the number of sacrifices students make for their academic involvement. Westland sophomore Aubrie Scott has already come to terms with these losses. “Last year, being away from home wasn’t bad at all. This year it really hit me. I miss my family more and more everyday,” Scott said. “Especially my 8-year-old brother, he is my heart. I feel like I am missing out on him growing up. This is the second year I have missed his first day of school, and I hate it.” A major contributing
factor in Scott’s case is the location. “I wouldn’t say I regret attending college, I just wish Central Michigan University was closer to Westland,” she said. While Scott, along with other sophomores, are just starting to endure the sacrifices, upperclassmen have been coping with them for four to five years now. Farmington Hills senior Grace Stevenson knows the feeling. “I am going to have a
fifth year of college,” she said. “At times it is hard being away from home, especially when I was up here for a 12-month period.” As if having to be away for five years isn’t bad enough, she said she also has to deal with missing special events. “Finals week always happens to land on my sister’s birthday,” Stevenson said. “As much as I want to celebrate with her on her actual birthday, I never can.” Along with distant struggles comes the refusal of an opportunity because of student obligations. Before attending CMU this past summer, Caro freshman Caitlin Murphy was offered a higher paid position that she was forced to decline. “Before I left for school, I was offered a promotion as manager,” Murphy said. “I would have made
double my paychecks.” While academic involvement is time consuming, Murphy is devoted to getting her degree. “I wanted to go to a four-year university to get a good degree, which meant leaving my home and job,” Murphy said. “If I had taken the position, then I would have been forced to attend the nearby community college.” Fremont junior Alicia Brummel knows that the schooling ahead of her will force her to miss some bigger events. She plans on getting her doctorate and faces a total of eight years of schooling. “My best friend’s wedding is this month and I will not be able to attend,” Brummel said. “I can’t afford to take off work on the weekend of her wedding, and I have a huge exam the following week.” studentlife@cm-life.com
Gerheiser prohibited from contact with victims after stabbing By Hailee Sattavara Metro Editor
A Belding man charged with an 8-count felony for stabbing two CMU students at Deerfield Village apartments is still being held in medium-level security in Isabella County Jail. Todd William Gerheiser, 22, has been lodged at the jail, 207 Court St., for nearly a month after being charged with eight felonies Sept. 16 after allegedly stabbing three individuals outside Deerfield building G, 3400 E. Deerfield Road. According to Gerheiser’s jail records, obtained through the Isabella County prosecutor’s office, magistrate Sandra Straus prohibited contact between Gerheiser and his three victims, two of which are students at Central Michigan University. During his Sept. 16 medical screening report, Gerheiser said he is in great health, despite needing food and water. He had a bruised left eye and cut on
his ahead. Gerheiser refused medical treatment on the night of the stabTodd Gerheiser bing and was not under the influence of alcohol, according to records obtained from the prosecutor’s office. He is now prohibited from contact with any of the three victims. The victims’ names are exempt from disclosure and have not been released by Michigan State Police, Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduzewski said. Mioduzewski said he didn’t know the specifics of Gerheiser’s case because it was a Michigan State Police case. “Only thing we can say is that we’ve got him lodged here,” he said. Responses to drug and alcohol usage with visual opinion responses were also exempt, as they would
violate Gerheiser’s privacy. As previously reported by Central Michigan Life, Gerheiser was charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder, punishable by life in prison; two counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, punishable by 10 years in prison or $5,000; two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, punishable by four years in prison or $2,000; one count of carrying a concealed weapon, punishable by five years in prison or $2,500 and one count of carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent punishable five years in prison or $2,500. Michigan State Police troopers from the Mount Pleasant post were dispatched shortly after 1 a.m. Sept. 16 to the scene of a large fight at the complex, 3400 E. Deerfield Road. Upon arrival, a group of people ran toward troopers. One was a victim, covered in blood. He told the troopers he had been
stabbed and pointed toward the suspect, who was also running toward officers, according to a release issued by MSP. Troopers then ordered the suspect to the ground, where he was then secured and arrested around 1:15 a.m. The investigation continued with the location of the weapon and interviews. The victims suffered nonlife threatening injuries. The Isabella County Prosecutor’s Office issued an 8-county felony warrant for Gerheiser. His bond is set for 10 percent of $800,000 or 10 percent cash. In 2010, Gerheiser was charged in Ionia County with having stolen property valued at $1,000 or more, but less than $20,000, and was later discharged on a plea agreement. Gerheiser is due in Isabella County Trial Court in November. metro@cm-life.com
The MAP Works program is an integrated early-intervention support system that helps new students become successful in college. Short for Making Achievement Possible, MAP Works is a survey designed to measure how students are adapting to their environment through questions regarding their course work, roommates and level of anxiety. “MAP Works is one initiative to try to make sure we help every single student that comes here be as successful as they can be,” said Jason Bentley, director of Central Michigan University’s First Year Experience program. “When a student starts at CMU, our goal is that every student has a conversation with somebody about their hopes and dreams, and what it is that they want to achieve.” There is a base fee of $12,000 for a school to use the MAP Works program, and an additional fee is added for each student who is loaded into the system. “Since CMU contributes to research, we get a discount. On a given year, the contract for the program is around $40,000,” Bentley said. MAP Works combines the information that the school knows about students when they’re admitted with their individual responses to survey questions. First-year students aren’t required to take the survey, but it’s highly recommended to be taken in the fall and again in the spring. CMU has been using the MAP Works program for four years. The program is licensed through Education Benchmarking, Inc. EBI licenses MAP Works through Ball State University, where the program originated. As a benefit of using the program, CMU benchmarks with other institutions like Michigan State University, Grand Valley State University and Saginaw Valley State University that use MAP Works to compare results. “We were one of the first institutions to focus on what we could do to support students in a more active way, but other Michigan institutions are starting to do the same thing,” Bentley said. Each student who completes the survey receives a customized report based on his or her answers. The results provide recommendations to offices and services at CMU to help the student achieve success. “We use the results to inform all of our support services, and we look at students who have risk markers,” Bentley said. “We reach out to students to try to get them to connect so we can talk with them about strategies to limit the chances for having academic or transition difficulties that go with being a new student in college.” First-year students have a different outlook on the MAP Works program. “MAP Works was repetitive and literally made zero difference in my life,” said Ludington freshman Mitchel Brody. Johannesburg freshman Amanda Nickert said MAP Works hasn’t helped her, either. “I feel that the survey was pointless,” she said. “It hasn’t helped me succeed in anything, or not yet anyways.” Bentley said about 80 percent of new students this year have completed the survey. “We want to be able to be a human GPS system,” he said. “We want to know your end destination and we want to help get you there. If you’re off track, we want to help you recalculate.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Puppet no more If there are two things I wish for readers to get out of this column, it’s that Central Michigan Life is an independent newspaper with no ties to the university outside of the amazing students that help write and publish it, and that an individual is only as strong as their words and morals. Last week, I published a column calling out the presidential debate on their role of misrepresenting and showboating idealized versions of our presidential candidates. I addressed the fact that this nation needs to have our presidential candidates vetted and, for a lack of a better word, interrogated, in order to separate those who wish to lie their way into office by misrepresenting their platform. Shortly after writing this article I was confronted by a CMU alum, and fellow appreciator of journalism, who felt that my use of the word “bullshit” (in the context of “he who can throw bullshit the furthest) hit a new low in the world of journalism. He addressed the fact that the use of the obscenity was unnecessary and uncalled for, and that he would be removing his funding from CMU’s College of Communication and Fine Arts because of this “gaffe” — unless I write an apology for my poor choice of wording. I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the weekend thinking of how to address this issue. While I understand the individual’s view point, I am baffled why a graduate of CMU who holds himself to such a high standard that he is willing to address my poor choice of words would be willing to hold the future of innocent journalism students hostage for the sake of an apology. Not to stray from the point, a great writer once said: “Censorship is telling a man he can’t have a steak just because a baby can’t chew it.” A newspaper’s job is not to coddle the masses, at the same point the goal is not to fear monger or over play events. We are here to provide an unbiased report of what events happen, not to be pushed around by politicians, organizations, or our readers, and allowing that to happen is denying yourself the right to be called a journalist. I write in the sense that I have become accustom through experience and teachings, statements and opinions back by hard evidence, because to write otherwise is denying myself and my morals. If my words offend those who do not wish to read such harsh words, I offer my apologizes, and will take your criticism to heart.
Shortening the semester by a week would give students an extra week to earn money working their summer jobs, or at least give them an extra week to relax before heading back to school. But the rumblings that there could be a change to the academic schedule, which could begin in the fall of 2014, would ultimately do more harm than good to the student body. One of CMU’s, signature programs, the Leadership Safari orientation program, could find itself on the chopping block. Leadership Safari gives incoming freshmen who participate a head start on everyone else as they learn the campus and meet new friends and university leaders. Cutting back the fall semester to after Labor Day might mean the end of
this one-of-a-kind program, thus eliminating a potentially powerful recruiting tool. Furthermore, it also eliminates, in essence, a good break for students. It’s fair to assess that the fall semester is tougher than the spring semester, because of the lack of breaks. But having Labor Day off quietly means a lot, giving new students time to figure out what they are missing in their rooms or what items they need as many traditionally head home for the extended weekend.
In addition, it’s not fair to professors to force them to teach the same amount of material in a shortened amount of time. It could be argued that students would be missing out on vital lessons and experiences, and therefore the student’s education would suffer. That’s not saying there are not positives to a potential 14-week schedule. But is it really worth feeling rushed for 14 weeks in order to just have an extra couple of weeks of break time? If CMU is going to institute beginning classes after Labor Day, it also needs to consider the possibility of instituting a fall break for students. The curriculum needs to be looked at to ensure students have the same opportunities to get as much as they can out of classes and CMU needs to figure out a way to keep influential programs like Leadership Safari around.

Feeling down? You’re not out Sometimes a step backward is better than a step forward. People are geared to think that any direction that doesn’t push them to their goal is a waste. Well, in sports, some say the best team is a team that loses a couple times because it really tests their ability to overcome adversity. Even Muhammed Ali lost – five times to be exact. Nobody remembers him as a loser because he always had the attitude that he would overcome. He did. Winning isn’t just about defeating the opponent; it’s also about defeating your own negativity and doubt. It’s about getting out of bed when you want to keep the blinds shut and watch Workaholics while eating a gallon of strawberry ice cream. What’s the point? When someone or something knocks you down, you can still float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. If you’re thinking that I don’t know what I’m talking about, well, I went to five funerals throughout last summer. It was hard on some days to be ambitious, but what you do after being knocked down determines who you are. I got up and kept working out – I lost 20 pounds from multiple threehour workouts. I’d gladly gain 20 pounds back if it meant bringing my friends back, but it won’t work like that. All we can do is move on and keep making the best of bleak circumstances. Keep working hard. Grab life by the horns and wrestle it in your direction. The value of hard work and persistence reveals itself through amazing and unique opportunities. Oh, you want an example, bro? Antonio Brown knows what that’s like. Brown, a former Central Michigan football player and current wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers, overcame a bleak situation in his teens. At 16, he lived out of his car for a couple months. Six years later, he was drafted in the sixth round of the NFL draft after he left CMU as a junior. In July, Brown signed a 5-year, $42.5 million extension with the Steelers, which includes an $8.5 million signing bonus. He’s also made some NFL history already. He became the first player in NFL history with at least 1,000 receiving yards and 1,000 return yards last season. “I’ve been fighting for my life before and sleeping in cars and trying to find a place to lay my head,” Brown said in an article by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “I’ve had situations where I’ve had nowhere to go. This is the easy part. I overcame life.”

Online Reader comments on Oct. 5 “U-M class teaches students how tuition is spent; students have mixed opinions on CMU offering same course“ story “Why would I want to SPEND tuition money to understand where my tuition money was going? Maybe there should be a little more transparency and willingness through the school itself to educate us. We’re already paying enough for, well... everything here.” -Michael Jarvis “I am a big fan of financial transparency, but perhaps there is a better way to go about educating students on where their money goes. Perhaps a series of free seminars throughout the academic year or build something into freshman orientation.” -Steven Ball “You’ve gotta love the fact that the medical school is being built completely on the backs of all of
the undergrad students. What a waste for 99.9% of us.” -Shane Murray “Class? No. Free seminar? Yes.” -Zack Benezette “If CMU wants to make a class about it, then that is up to them. If kids want to take it get a simple 1 credit that they may need to finish up any part of a major, then that is up to that student. Personally, I don’t see how they could make a full credit of material out of it, but who knows.” -Zack Benezette Online Reader comments on Oct. 6 “UPDATE: Late interceptions lead to 50-35 loss to Toledo” story “OK Heeke, when are you going to admit you made a mistake and get rid of Enos? The loss to MSU was bad enough but allowing Toledo to score 50 points? Enough is enough! Time
to hire another Butch Jones - no matter!”-centmich77 “CMU’s current self esteem starts at the top. If you don’t demand excellence, you surely won’t get it. The Ross-HeekeEnos connection is what it is. Do we see a pattern here? Someone please call the board of trustees and tell them the University is burning.” -Admiral “Radcliff has not improved in all the years he has been here. Once he looks at a receiver he stays locked-in on that guy. That makes him very easy to intercept and that fact the he continues to play is why I will not be visiting Mt. P until he is gone. Five of my buddies and I planned on going to the Navy game this week, but we decided yesterday not to support this team as long as Enos and Radcliff are in charge. That is 6 less tickets sold.” -hurricane billy

New faculty-led study abroad program offers students new opportunities By Sean Bradley Senior Reporter
A new type of study abroad program is coming to Central Michigan University in the spring of 2013, where students will travel to and stay in Belize with faculty members for an entire semester. The first of its kind at CMU, the program, “Sustainability and Globalization in Belize,” allows students to learn about the local culture and meet and work with local Belizeans, as well as go on excavations through the country and traveling to different cities. “This is the first semesterlong study abroad program organized and led by CMU faculty members,” said Cameron Griffith, anthropology professor and co-founder of the program. He said the deadline to apply for the Spring 2013 semester-long trip is Friday. The program involves students and faculty taking part in the trip, whereas other study abroad trips may be through third-party organizations independent of CMU, he said. Griffith said being taught by a faculty member in a foreign country will help students not only learn more, but to also be
more comfortable with their surroundings. “You go down and you are taught by a professor you already know or could take classes from again here in Mount Pleasant,” he said. The new program comes at a time where University President Ross and the Office of Study Abroad are making it a goal to expand CMU’s study abroad program and make the campus a global one, Griffith said. “President George Ross said CMU is very dedicated to international opportunities and study abroad programs,” Griffith said. “More and more, people are realizing that in some cases, a study abroad program can provide a learning experience that is unique and can’t get anywhere else.” He said past trips to Belize were shorter, two-week trips and said those specific trips during the summer months will continue along with the new, semester-long trips. Students on the trip will do many things, including excavating the Actun Tunichil Muknal, Caracol and Lamanai archaeological sites, scattered all throughout the country. He said the program, which can be taken as credit for ANT 388, 389 and 500, or an inde-
pendent study credit, benefits the students directly. “When any program is led by faculty, it means the credits are directly coming from CMU,” he said. Petoskey senior Kathryn Slocum went on a trip to Belize in May with Griffith as part of a study abroad program. “We traveled all over,” she said. “There were more handson experiences. There were lectures at night.” Slocum did many archaeological digs and discovered years of history and culture in the landscape there. “During the day, we did an archaeological dig where we sifted through material,” she said. Allen Park senior Elizabeth Bonora said her experience going to Belize was unforgettable. “We visited various parts of the country; however my top three favorites would have to be Actun Tunichil Muknal, Xunantunich and Cahal Pech,” she said. “The cave system was great, trekking through the jungle, swimming into the entrance of a cave, and climbing around in there for four hours was breathtaking.” studentlife@cm-life.com
Olivieri Management will continue its work to beautify the community when they begin construction on two new houses in May 2013. The Mount Pleasant Planning Commission approved the razing of two existing houses at 1018 S. Franklin St. and 1028 S. Washington St., and the construction of new houses at those locations. Commissioners were concerned with the property at 1018 S. Franklin St. because of the code enforcement history from the past five years. Since 2007, the house has received 23 violations, typically related to trash or inside furniture being placed on the lawn or porch.
In reviewing the plan before it came to the commission the Zoning Board of Appeals asked for implementation of stricter lease provisions. Joe Olivieri told commissioners that the leases for their tenants are already strict. “As far as lease provisions, as I’ve explained in the past, our leases are tight as they can be by law,” Olivieri said. “Our hands are bound by law and we can only do so much.” Olivieri said the office works hard to enforce codes by fining those who do not comply with city ordinances and terms of the lease. The new house on Franklin Street will also have a feature not common for stu-
dent houses — a garage. The site is required to have 12 parking spots, but Olivieri has planned for 12. “The real challenge is that the site is so small and it just worked out that the garage was a way to meet our parking needs and space requirements for our tenants,” Olivieri said. The house at 1018 S. Franklin St. will be 5,900 square feet, while the one at 1028 S. Washington St. will be 7,524 square feet. Each of the houses will be able to have 10 occupants after previously being licensed for nine occupants. The Washington Street property is leased to His House Christian Fellowship. metro@cm-life.com

Judge rules citizenship checkbox off the ballot By John Irwin Elections Coordinator
A judge has ruled Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson must remove the citizen checkbox ballot applications for the Nov. 6 election. U.S. District Judge Paul D. Borman ruled Friday that the boxes, which would require Michigan voters to check off that they are U.S. citizens on the paper applications they fill out before receiving the ballot, would be unnecessary and confusing. “It is really a burden on the right to vote; in terms of slowing things down, in terms of confusion,” Borman said in a preliminary ruling. A written decision is expected to be filed Tuesday. Johnson told reporters after the hearing Friday that she was disappointed. “This is an education tool that we found that works,” Johnson said, arguing that the checkbox prevents those who had inadvertently registered to vote when obtaining
government-issued identification such as a driver’s license. The judge dismissed the need for a checkbox. “If it’s so important, then why isn’t it on the absentee ballots?” Borman asked A voting rights coalition consisting of the Service Employees International Union, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Ingham County clerk and others filed a suit against Johnson, arguing in court that the checkbox is an unnecessary roadblock to voting. Plaintiff Glenn Rehahn argued the case on behalf of the coalition, using his experiences of being unable to exercise his voting rights because he would not show proof of citizenship, even though that was never in question. “This is a big victory for voting rights in Michigan because voters won’t have to face the same barrier I did,” Rehahn said in a news release issued by the SEIU. Johnson has been under fire from voting rights activ-
ists and Lansing politicians, including some in her own party, for attempting to put the citizenship checkbox on the Nov. 6 ballot applications and being successful in putting them on the August primary applications. In July, Gov. Rick Snyder vetoed a portion of a bill that would have made the citizenship question law. Johnson ordered the question onto the August primary ballot applications anyway, resulting in confusion at polling places statewide about whether or not the box was required to be checked. metro@cm-life.com

Alpha Kappa Psi held its annual career day for all CMU undergraduate majors, graduate students, recent alumni and students from surrounding schools Friday morning in Finch Fieldhouse. The co-ed business fraternity provides the opportunity to network with recruiters for internships and entry-level positions.
Dislike of candidates, voting system deters some students from casting their votes for president over the two mainline party candidates. “I feel that Obama hasn’t done much to help our country in the past four years and I don’t see that Romney would do any better,” Draper said. “In my opinion, Michelle Obama should run to be president, because I feel she wants to take a bigger part in our country and has been doing a lot as the First Lady.” Will students like these pick up interest in voting in future elections? For Macomb senior Sarah Childers, that depends on if any future candidates running can be more personally relatable. “To me, the whole election thing is just about who has the most money and about who can make the best promises,” Childers said. “I would vote in the future for a candidate that I feel isn’t some rich, spoiled person who actually cares about voters.” Students can find information about how to register at michigan.gov/vote.

While the deadline to register to vote is Tuesday for the November 2012 general election, not everyone is planning on casting a ballot. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s statistics, about 610,000 Michigan residents aged 18 to 24, about 65 percent of those in the age group, were registered to vote for the November 2008 election. Of those, 455,000, or 48.6 percent of the state’s 18 to 24 population, actually voted in the 2008 election. With analysis from sources such as the Center for the American Electorate predicting a lower turnout for young voters in 2012, the question is raised: Why do young voters have such low turnout compared to the rest of the electorate? Students who have consciously decided not to vote in this election cycle give reasons such as a dislike of all the major candidates for president as well as having little interest in political matters.
“I’ve just never voted before, and I’m not huge into politics, so I don’t really follow anything,” said freshman Jessica Walls. “Plus I feel that none of (the candidates) are completely truthful, and I wouldn’t know who to vote for.” Some reluctance to vote stems from feeling like a single vote cannot make a difference in our country’s electoral college system. “I don’t support Obama, and I don’t support Romney,” said Dearborn Heights junior Miguel Olivera. “I don’t have the time, nor do I have the interest, to look into independent parties. I don’t believe one vote matters, so why should I bother?” Capac sophomore Shannon Draper has found someone she’d prefer to run

CM Life named best collegiate paper in Michigan for ninth time in 11 years By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter
Central Michigan Life has been named the best collegiate newspaper in Michigan for the ninth time in the last 11 years. The paper’s General Excellence designation by the Michigan Press Association in Division 1 for 2012 demonstrates overall excellence in writing, design, photography, editorial leadership and advertising. “To be held in such high regard by out-of-state professional newspaper judges validates the consistency of CM Life’s performance over the years,” said Neil Hopp, director of student media. “Student journalists entered 18 individual award categories this year and earned 11 honors.” Along with the general excellence award, CM Life won 10 other individual awards in a variety of categories. “What is particularly gratifying are the first-place awards for investigative reporting and multimedia reporting,” Hopp said. In all, CM Life was award-
ed three first place awards for multimedia reporting, investigative story and sports news/features. The paper also received three secondplace awards, two third-place awards and two honorable mentions. “That just proves our commitment to excellence and always striving for the full story,” said Eric Dresden, CM Life Editor-in-Chief and Merrill senior. “When we are all together, we look at providing the best news constantly.” South Lyon junior and CM Life University News Editor Catey Traylor was part of the team that won a firstplace award for investigative reporting on CMU’s transparency about spending $10 million on the Events Center. “It was my first semester as a senior reporter and that was one of the first really big stories I did.

TOLEDO – Central Michigan quarterback Ryan Radcliff tried to throw a short out-route to pick up the first down on third–and–one with just under 10 minutes remaining in the
After the 50-35 loss Saturday Central Michigan equipment managers packed up everything in the truck, players piled into a bus and the team made its way back to Mount Pleasant. Senior wide receiver Cody Wilson was exhausted. He took a pounding catching passes in front of safeties and getting nailed while catching a punt. He left all his energy at the Glass Bowl. Even after two consecutive losses, and an 0-2 Mid-American Conference start, the Chippewas better not have packed up their hopes and dreams and left them in Toledo. Fans, students and alumni will hopefully carry their aspirations for this team past the 15-point loss. Why? This team will still win this season. CMU just finished a brutal four– game stretch, that won’t get much easier playing Navy Friday in Mount Pleasant. But being 2-3 after facing Michigan State, Iowa and MAC elites Toledo and Northern Illinois is not awful. Yes, it will be extremely difficult to get back in the hunt for the MAC title. But this team should still have bowl eligibility expectations and goals of winning the Michigan MAC Trophy for best record between Michigan MAC schools. Navy will make it tough to defend the triple option, but it’s a very winnable game. This Navy team lost to San Jose State 12-0 on Sept. 29.

the pass for an interception and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown as the Rockets beat CMU 50-35 at the Glass Bowl Saturday afternoon. “The defender made a good play, honestly,” wide receiver Cody Wilson said. “It was an out route by Titus (Davis). He had a choice to slant it; they played man coverage; he did the right thing. Ryan threw the ball in the right place, the guy just undercut it. Good play by him.” CMU had a final chance to tie the game with 50 second left to play down eight points, but Radcliff threw his second interception returned for a touchdown of the fourth quarter. Two punt returns from Bernard Reed propelled the Toledo scoring. The first of the game for Reed went for 53 yards to set up an easy opening field goal. “Bernard Reed is special player
because he comes to practice and competes and excells in practice,” Toledo head coach Matt Campbell said. “Bernard did a great job; he had a great second half.” Reed cut back on the CMU coverage team for a 66-yard touchdown on his first return of the second. The special teams’ score gave Toledo its first lead of the second half, 24-21. Radcliff finished his second– straight game of 300-yards passing. He was 28-of-44 for 327 yards with two interceptions and tied a careerhigh four touchdowns. “Besides those two interceptions, I thought Ryan played really well,” Wilson said. “Little bit like last week, we hurt ourselves.

The Rockets turned the ball over three times in the first half, allowing CMU to take a 21-17 halftime lead. Owens finished with 233 passing yards and 81 rushing yards. After the Toledo lead ballooned to 10 in the third quarter, sophomore Courtney Williams made a diving catch, barely keeping his feet in bounds for a three–yard touchdown pass from Radcliff – his first of the season.

Field hockey beats missouri State 4-0; shares top spot in conference By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter
The field hockey team got back into the conference title hunt Saturday by beating first-place Missouri State 4-0 in Springfield, Mo. Junior Bailey McKeon ignited Central Michigan’s four-goal outpour over a 15-minute span in the second half, scoring right in front of the net. “Since we had a lot of opportunities in the first half and in the second half before we scored, the energy was a lot higher going into the second, third and fourth goals,” McKeon said. It was the first Chippewa win by more than two goals this year. “Right now, I rank it as the best win we’ve had this season,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “A lot of adverse conditions, and I thought our players really stepped up and did a good job.” Freese said earlier in the week that the field turf at MSU gives it a home field advantage. She
pointed out Saturday that the crowd was also raucous. The Bears, Chippewas and Miami (Ohio) share the MidAmerican Conference lead, each holding a 2-1 conference record. “We put ourselves in position that we can, again, control our own destiny,” Freese said. “That also means they’re all in contention though.” CMU had 19 shots in the game, 14 of which were on goal. MSU did not get a shot off until the 32nd minute. The Bears tallied five shots and three on goal. After McKeon scored in the 53rd minute, Mary Alice Moore had a goal in the 59th minute, Jordyn Brengosz added one in the 62nd minute and Erin Dye, the team’s leading scorer, capped it off in the 67th minute. Freese said intercepted passes amounted to the goals. Putting McKeon on the left side of the field in the second half also gave the offense a boost, she said. “Maybe (Bailey’s) coach needs to be a little smarter and keep

her on the left side,” Freese said. “Whenever we put her over there, she’s a goal-scorer.” It was McKeon’s first goal since scoring four goals in the first three games of the season.

cmu takes mAc West lead with 20t win over northern illinois By Ryan Solecki Staff Reporter
The women’s soccer team beat Northern Illinois 2-1 Sunday in an aggressive double–overtime thriller to boost it into first place in the Mid– American Conference West. The first overtime was an uneventful one, with zero shots recorded by either team. The Chippewas began the second overtime by making two substitutions. Less than a minute after the substitution, junior Kaely Schlosser fed a pass to Chiesa, who scored the game–winning goal from the 18-yard line. The tally was her second of the season. “It felt great to score that goal, because we had all worked so hard that game and it feels good to win it for the seniors,” Chiesa said. The game started off quick and aggressive, with three fouls called on each team within 15 minutes. Central Michigan applied early pressure with three quick shots as well. “I thought these were the best officials we’ve had all year,” head coach Neil Stafford said. “They did a great job. They had a lot of difficult calls to make, but we let them know what a great job they did.” Shortly after the six quick foul calls, CMU senior defender Katie Slaughter was called for her first red card of the season. NIU sophomore Allie McBride would capitalize on the resulting penalty kick to make the score 1-0. Immediately following the penalty kick goal, CMU’s senior midfielder Ashley Mejilla went on an offensive tear. Mejilla piled on three shots within seven minutes, though she could not capitalize on her opportunities. A SOCCER | 4B

Around the mAc: Five teams remain undefeated in conference play By Matt Thompson Senior Reporter
Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
Football report card: Week 6 The Central Michigan football team went on the road to take on a Mid-American Conference West Division favorite for the second–straight weekend. This weekend, the Chippewas lost to the Toledo Rockets by a final score of 50–35. The game was closer than the score indicates, but the loss drops the Chippewas to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the MAC. Let’s grade the Chippewas performance:
passInG oFFense: (B-)
This grade would be much higher if it wasn’t for two fourth-quarter interceptions that were returned for touchdowns. Senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff had a monster game, completing 63 percent of his passes, while throwing for 337 yards and four touchdowns. Radcliff ’s targets also had big days. Senior Cody Wilson caught nine passes for 108 yards. Sophomores Titus Davis and Courtney Williams added five catches for 107 yards and a touchdown and seven catches for 59 yards and two touchdowns, respectively.
RusHInG oFFense: (c-)
Following Saturday’s game, head coach Dan Enos said he was most disappointed in his team’s inability to run the football, which probably made them throw the ball too much in the second half. Junior running back Zurlon Tipton gained 67 yards on 13 carries and also scored a touchdown, but sophomore Anthony Garland and freshman Saylor Lavallii combined for just five yards on six carries.
passInG DeFense: (B)
The Chippewas gave up 246 yards passing against the Rockets and forced one interception when senior Anthony Young caught a fluttering pass thrown by UT junior quarterback Terrance Owens.
Five teams remain undefeated in Mid-American Conference play after the first six weeks of football. Toledo and Northern Illinois are unbeaten at the top of the West Division, while Kent State, Ohio and Miami (Ohio) lead the East Division. KSU is ultimately at the top of the league, since it has played one more game than the other schools, and has three conference wins.
KenT sTaTe 41, easTeRn mIcHIGan 14
The Eagles kept it close with Kent State until halftime, down just 10. The Golden Flashes busted the game open in the third quarter, outscoring EMU 21-0. After putting together a solid season last year, head coach Ron English and EMU fall to 0-5 this season.
oHIo 38, BuFFalo 31
For the second consecutive week, Ohio had a scare against a lower-tier MAC opponent with Buffalo leading 14-0 in the first quarter. Although Ohio improved to 6-0, Buffalo outgained them 501 to 333 in total yards. Three turnovers and more
specIal Teams: (D)
Special teams continue to be an area of concern for the Chippewas. On Saturday, the punt coverage team allowed a 66-yard punt return for a touchdown, as well as another long return, which set up the first Toledo score of the game. On the flip side, CMU returners had a long of just 27 yards. Junior punter Richie Hogan continued to struggle as well, averaging 38.5 yards per punt.
oVeRall: (c+)
Saturday’s game was a lot more competitive than the final score indicates, and the Chippewas actually played a pretty solid game. That being said, until CMU wins a game, the grade cannot be higher than a C+. Radcliff and the receivers have shown an ability to put up big numbers, but the defense and special teams need to improve. sports@cm-life.com
WesTeRn mIcHIGan 52, massacHuseTTs 14
Tyler Van Tubbergen made his second-straight start for injured quarterback Alex Carder for WMU. After losing last week, Van Tubbergen delievered with five touchdowns to beat down on the new MAC school.
BoWlInG GReen 24, aKRon 10
After a scoreless opening quarter, Akron went up 10-0 by halftime. Bowling Green
owned the second half, blanking the Zips 24-0. Anthon Samuel rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown during the Falcon comeback.
noRTHeRn IllInoIs 35, Ball sTaTe 23
Ball State led the entire second half up until five minutes remaining. Then, NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch took over. He threw a 54-yard touchdown pass to Akeem Daniels to take the lead, and capped off the comeback with a 71-yard run to the end zone with three minutes left. He finished with 195 passing yards and 207 rushing yards with
four touchdowns.
cIncInnaTI 52, mIamI (oHIo) 14
Miami took an initial 6-0 lead on a 19-yard pass from Zac Dysert to Dawan Scott. The Bearcats scored the next 24 points before giving up a score to Miami, and then went on a 28-0 run to finish the game. Miami was the only MAC school to play a non-conference game this week. sports@cm-life.com
Sunday’s victory the third-straight for maroon squad in Fall World Series By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter
The Maroon team remains perfect in the intrasquad Fall World Series at Theunissen Stadium after topping the Gold squad 6-4 Sunday afternoon. The Gold squad was outscored 16-8 this weekend, after losing 4-3 Friday and 6-1 Saturday. Central Michigan head coach Steve Jaksa said he saw a lot of good things this weekend out of his team, as well as areas that still need work at practice the next few days. “Our time is short this fall for team stuff … we’ve got four games left and there were glimpses of some really good things (this weekend),” Jaksa said. “We have to pound the strike zone a little bit better; we have to protect a little bit better at the plate, and I thought we did some of that today and worked harder at doing those kinds of things today.” Sophomore Dylan Rheault started the game for the Gold team Sunday, while freshman Jimmy McNamara got the nod for the Maroon squad. Rheault pitched six innings and struck out seven hitters, giving up five hits. McNamara struck out two over 2 1/3 innings, allowing five hits. McNamara left in the third innings with an injury and was
Check out a photo gallery of last weekends games on cm-life.com replaced by freshman Adam Aldred. Gold was first to score in the third when sophomore Nick Regnier stole home on a wild pitch. Jaksa said that having a good attitude and staying positive about game situations are an important part of being a good ball club. “It’s the little things that make a big difference in these ball games and we need to continue to emphasize the detail of what it takes to be a really good ball club,” Jaksa said. “You have to have the ability to stay positive when things don’t go well. That’s the hardest thing to do, everybody has to do that, coaches, players.” Maroon came back with three runs in the fourth and two in the fifth. Freshman Tyler Frank gave the squad a commanding 6-1 lead in the eighth, coming home on a passed ball. Gold battled back with three runs in the bottom half of the inning. Senior Jordan Adams grounded out to score junior Noel Santos, and sophomore Cody Leichman scored on a wild pitch.
RusHInG DeFense: (c-)
CMU gave up 187 yards rushing against the Rockets. UT junior running back David Fluellen carried the ball 22 times for 104 yards and a touchdown. Owens added 81 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries, including a 40-yard scamper that essentially ended the Chippewas hopes of a win. The loss to Toledo marks the third–straight game CMU has allowed a 100-yard rusher.

Special teams has rough week against Toledo By Brandon Champion Staff Reporter
TOLEDO – It is the sometimes forgotten facet of a football game, but coaches and players know the importance of special teams. In the Central Michigan football team’s 50-35 loss against the Toledo Rockets, the special teams units didn’t perform very special. “In the first half, we did a good job, but in the second half, we missed some tackles,” said head coach Dan Enos. “Give them credit; they have good skill back there.” After CMU went three– and–out on its first offensive possession, junior punter Richie Hogan punted the ball 37 yards. Toledo junior wide receiver Bernard Reedy caught the kick and returned it 53 yards to the Chippewa 15-yard line. The return set up the first score of the game for the Rockets.
In the third quarter, with CMU clinging to a 21-17 lead, Hogan again kicked to Reedy, but this time he weaved through the CMU coverage team and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown, giving UT the lead for good. Reedy finished the game with 201 return yards. “I’ll have to go back and look at it on video to see where we had some breakdowns,” Enos said. Hogan is averaging just 38.86 yards per punt this season. That mark is 86th in the country. On the flip side of things, CMU returners did not give it good field position all day. The longest was a 27-yard return by sophomore wide receiver Dafarrel Davis. The Chippewas next game is Friday night when they return home to face the Navy Midshipmen at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. sports@cm-life.com

Freshman Adam Collins hit a single to right, scoring sophomore Tyler Huntey to cut Maroon’s lead to two runs, but were unable to complete the comeback. The victory for the younger team was its third in as many days. Friday’s game lasted 10 innings and was highlighted by solid pitching from sophomores Sean Renzi and Jordan Foley, who combined to throw 16 strikeouts. The winning run was scored in the 10th inning after freshman Morgan Oliver hit a sacrifice fly, which scored senior Kyle Henris, giving Maroon their first win of the fall season. On Saturday, Maroon won their second–straight game over the Gold squad. Sophomore Matt Trowbridge and junior Joe Ucho started the game. Trowbridge pitched 6 2/3 innings, while Ucho lasted four innings. Maroon and Gold have four games left in their annual FWS with the next game at 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday inside Theunissen Stadium. sports@cm-life.com

Softball values All-Star match-up Friday despite 5-0 loss Volleyball grinds out two wins over the weekend, takes over first place By Kristopher Lodes Staff Reporter
Senior Kara Dornbos took to the circle Friday and threw four and 1/3 innings allowing four earned runs. Not many pitchers would be excited about that kind of outing, but seeing that she was facing professional hitters, the senior said she still had fun. “I just went out there and gave it my all,” Dornbos said. “They’re a great team and we just wanted to go out and have fun.” The National Pro Fastpitch All-Stars Back to School Tour made a stop at Margo Jonker Stadium Friday and beat Central Michigan 5-0. The lineup, made up of players from the USSSA Pride, Carolina Diamonds, Chicago Bandits and Akron Racers of the National Pro Fastpitch League, was shutdown by senior pitcher Dornbos through the first three innings. But, a run in the fourth inning and four in the fifth were more than enough for the NPF All-Stars to take the win. Junior pitcher Chelsea Sundberg came on in relief of Dornbos and threw two and 2/3 innings, striking out two. “It’s important for us to play well when we have the chance to play a profes-

sional team,” head coach Margo Jonker said. “It’s just fun, and other than that, no big deal.” The NPF All-Stars tallied 11 hits on the day, led by first baseman Charlotte Morgan of the Pride, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI. Shortstop Tammy Williams of the Bandits, and third baseman GiOnna DiSalvatore of the Diamonds went 2-for-3 with an RBI. “It’s really exciting to get the opportunity to play a great team,” Dornbos said. “It only makes you better and it was a lot of fun.”
CMU had four hits on the day. Freshman third baseman Trista Cox got a hit in the first inning, finishing 1-for-2 on the day with a walk, while fellow freshman centerfielder Evelyn Lorimer hit a single in the fifth inning. As for the veterans, junior designated hitter Raechel
Zahrn went 1-for-1 on the day, while senior Brogan Darwin picked up a hit in the seventh inning while pinch hitting. CMU will cap off its fall ball Oct. 27 when it hosts an alumni game at Margo Jonker Stadium.
to Northern Illinois on Sept. 21. He didn’t talk much about that meeting, but he thought the team’s expectations coming off a Mid-American Conference Championship was getting the best of them. He assured the media that a different Central Michigan team would show up for the match the following night against MAC preseason favorite Western Michigan. Whatever was said in that meeting, the Chippewas took to heart because they’ve won five-straight matches and have taken over sole possession of first place in the MAC West. So, how do they stay on top? CMU has to take it one game at a time, a little cliché but it’s
true, and that is something that has helped the team get to where it is. Olson has said how much better the MAC West is compared to the MAC East, and it’s true. The Chippewas are 12-3 against MAC East opponents in the last two seasons, and that record has continued this season with a sweep against Kent State. With that said, CMU has MAC East opponents in its next four matches (Miami (Ohio), Bowling Green, Buffalo and Akron) and it can’t afford to look past those teams. The Falcons are unbeaten, which makes for a MAC West leader versus MAC East leader Saturday night at McGuirk Arena.
Besides that match, CMU’s opponents are a combined 4-14 in MAC play, so it could be easy to look past teams with those numbers. What makes it easier to look past those teams is the harsh end to the MAC schedule that follows. CMU has to travel to face the Huskies, Broncos and Eastern Michigan Eagles before hosting the Cardinals and MAC East– favorite Ohio. The Chippewas have gotten off to good start, but they need to take it one game at a time if they want to repeat last season’s success. But, taking things one game at time is nothing new to this team. Just look at how they finished last year.
that forced us to throw too much in the second half.” Two fourth-down conversions, including a one-yard plunge to score, helped the Rockets score their first touchdown and reclaim the lead at 10-7. Davis scored his fourth touchdown in three games for CMU on a corner-post route 23 yards out from Radcliff. On the next CMU possession, the senior quarterback hooked up with sophomore Deon Butler on a slant to make it a 21-10 CMU lead midway through the
second quarter. The Rockets cut CMU’s lead to 21-17 just before halftime on Owens’ 11-yard touchdown run with 13 seconds left in the half. Although CMU allowed 50 points in the game, only 26 of those points were scored against the Chippewa defense. Toledo added points on a punt return touchdown and two interceptions. “(The defense) put us in a position where we had a good chance to win,” Wilson said. “And as an offense, we have to
make plays and put points on the board when we have that chance.” For Toledo, it was its fifth– straight win after losing to Arizona in overtime during its season opener. CMU lost its second consecutive MAC game, slipping to 2-3 overall. Friday, Navy will come to Mount Pleasant to face the Chippewas in the final non-conference game of the regular season.

Shortly after the yellow card, CMU junior midfielder Autumn Hawkins capitalized on her own rebound to even the score at 1-1 and send the game into overtime. The Chippewas look forward to a three–game home stand when they will host Akron, Buffalo, and Miami (Ohio).

The Chippewas finished the match against Toledo with a 25-10 blowout in set four. They recorded a .419 hitting percentage with a 90 percent sideout rate in the fourth set, while holding the Rockets to a hitting percentage under zero (-.074). It was a different story against BSU on Friday, but inevitably the same result. CMU had a good start and won set one 25-19 with a .344 hitting percentage. But after dropping sets two and three, it looked as if the winning streak would be snapped and the losing streak against the Cardinals would continue. “It kind of looked like it was getting away from us again,” Olson said. Despite not playing their best match, the Chippewas pulled away late in the fourth set to win 25-22 and then won the fifth set 15-13. “It was a big win because things weren’t going our way,” sophomore outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre said. CMU has taken over first place in the Mid-American Conference West Division with its five-match winning streak. The Chippewas look to continue the winning streak at home this weekend when they host Miami (Ohio) at 7 p.m. Thursday. The RedHawks have yet to win a conference match this season.

Massachusetts. Both teams are a combined 0-11. It’s doable for CMU to go 3-2 at home the rest of the way. And if it goes 2-0 against the cupcakes of the MAC on the road - which they better – that puts them at 7-5 at the end of the season. That would result in bowl eligibility and a winning season. Obviously, a 3-9 season is still possible, but don’t count on it. CMU is through the toughest part of its schedule, so don’t forget to pack up your hopes from the first five games. A bowl game is still possible.

CMU ended the half out– shooting NIU eight shots to five. “I’m proud of our team in the fact that we out shot a team while playing a man down for 82 minutes of the game,” Stafford said. The second half would start off much like the first half, with two foul calls made on each team. Also like the first half, the Chippewas would act fast

The volleyball team swept the weekend yet again with a four–set win Saturday in Toledo and a five–set win against Ball State on Friday. Central Michigan got off to a slow start against the Rockets and needed a comeback against the Cardinals to pull off the victories. “We’ve come together as a team,” freshman setter Jordan Timmer said. “Our motto is ‘one point at a time and one ball at a time.’” The winning streak gives the team first place in the Mid-American Conference West Division. Timmer was the spark the Chippewas needed to get by Toledo Saturday night. Down 18-17 in set two, head coach Erik Olson turned to the freshman and she helped the team to a 26-24 set two win. “We always talk about the backup setter being the most important part of the team,” Olson said. “It was tremendous to see Timmer go out there for an extended period of time and turn the match around because we were losing control of the match.” Timmer then started set three, but the team was down 17-14 and went back to the starter, sophomore Kelly Maxwell. CMU would score six unanswered points in route to a 25-23 win. “Kelly got a chance to rest a little bit and talk to (assistant coach) Theresa (Beeckman) on the bench,” Olson said. “As the match progressed, we got better and that was really critical.”

Med students don’t buy into medical show drama plot lines By Charnae Sanders Staff Reporter
Famous medical shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “ER” and “House” may have stolen the hearts of millions, but is it manipulating the minds of fans by showing them unrealistic plot lines and scenes? “‘Grey’s Anatomy’ is entirely Hollywood, but ‘ER,’ I know having a sister working in a hospital setting makes it a little bit realistic with that,” said Royal Oak graduate student Jessica Matyas. “Their back stories and things get kind of dramatic, but as far as the stuff that actually happens in the hospital, it is impossible. Especially things like ‘House,’ it’s completely off the wall, and you don’t see it very often but it still happens.” The psychology neuroscience major often calls her sister, who is a nurse, and together they laugh about episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy.” “We’ll call each other during the show and say ‘this is really cool except this isn’t accurate, and we’ll start citing with each other exactly what’s wrong with it,’” Matyas said. “We watch ‘Breaking Bad’ and my sister will say that is not how you run a IV for chemotherapy. I still enjoy them as much as anybody else, but I’m very critical of all the nit-picking little details.” Shelby Township sophomore Emily Harting, a communication disorders major, understands the overall aspect of the

Dr. Karen Pike talks with a patient at the Community Medical Center Emergency Room in Los Gatos, Calif., in 2005. With the success of realistic medical and forensic science television programs such as “CSI,’’ “ER’’ and “Grey’s Anatomy,’’ many doctors and researchers have jumped at the chance to serve as consultants to Hollywood script writers.
show is to be very dramatic and exciting, but said it is accurate in some ways. “I love ‘Grey’s Anatomy,’” said Harting. “They try to make the surgeries that they do put in (and) the conditions realistic; the symptoms are realistic.” In order for viewers to get a glimpse of what the medical world is really like, Midland sophomore Katy Isles suggests producers of the shows portray it in a more realistic setting so people don’t go into the career thinking that’s going to happen. Harting said the drama is
high, but it’s not always that way in real life. “There aren’t people running through the hallways,” Harting said. “There’s not really gun shootings all the time in the hospital. The medical terms they use in the diagnosis and all that, that’s all real, but everything else is over-emphasized.” For people who are interested in working the medical field, Isles said it would be wise if people job shadow first. However, Matyas insists finding your passion. “Something very simple can
really just show you what you have a passion for,” Matyas said. “So there’s absolutely nothing wrong with going into a field because you were attracted to something you saw on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ You saw somebody working on open-heart surgery and you thought, ‘it looks really cool, I want to get involved in that,’ then fantastic. “Whatever it is that leads you to your passion. But being passionate about your work is an absolute must.” studentlife@cm-life.com
91.5 WMHW-FM changes name to ‘Moore Rock’ radio By Sean Bradley Senior Reporter
If your radio station is tuned to 91.5 WHMW-FM you may have noticed a change last week. The Central Michigan University radio station changed its name to Moore Rock 91.5 from Modern Rock 91.5 on Oct. 1, said WMHW-FM Program Director and California senior Evan Hodgens said. Hodgens said the change, which was decided at the beginning of the calendar year by the whole staff, is not just in name but also includes
Fourth-annual Wellspring Literary Series kicks off tonight
re-configuring some of the station’s content. “Pushing specialty shows to the weekends,” he said. “During the week will be for DJs on-air and giving people experience.” Specialty shows include hip-hop showcase Urban Exchange, as well as shows which cover sports, Hodgens said. The station will broaden the range of rock music it plays, going back to the mid-1990s and early 2000s to include different music other than current songs in rotation on major radio stations, said Dillon Stanco, WMHW station manager.
“We want more consistency out of the station,” Stanco said. “If someone wants to listen to music at 6 p.m., we’ll play the same thing at 6 p.m. Monday through Friday,” he said. Stanco said the shows won’t change format and the only thing that should change is the time when the shows air on the station. He said the idea of refocusing the station’s content came after a meeting in fall of 2011. “We met with a group on the east coast and they suggested broadening the rock music spectrum,” he said. He said about eight hours a
week are devoted to non-format specialty shows, including sports and genre-specific music shows. The name Moore Rock is a play on the hall’s name where the station is located in Moore Hall, but it’s also indicative of the changes in the station’s schedule and philosophy, Hodgens said. “We’re (also) broadcasting more rock music,” he said. He said the changes will make the station grow, in total listeners and the type of music it plays. studentlife@cm-life.com
Fleda Brown hosts her own radio show, but that’s not why she’s coming to Mount Pleasant tonight. Brown will travel from Traverse City to kick off the fourth-annual Wellspring Literary Series at 7 p.m. at Art Reach, 111 E. Broadway St. Associate Professor of English Language and Literature Robert Fanning said he expects a full house. “Her work is engaging, philosophical and moving, without being flashy,” Fanning said. “Her poems are good models that there can be great profundity in language that is simple, direct and clear.” Brown writes about anything around her, but it’s how she looks at life that makes her work profound, Fanning said. “She could be writing a poem about walking through airport security in which the speaker removes her own flesh, and we begin to question what is identity,” Fanning said. “She could be writing a poem about canoeing on a river, which becomes a meditation on what poetry is.” Brown will be accompanied by music professor Joanna White and CMU alum Joe Hertler will keep his tradition of opening the series. “It has a statewide reputation,” Fanning said. “I am starting to get requests from poets around the state who want come and read here.” The monthly series happens on Monday evenings and features prominent writers and poets from across the state. Each reading features a visiting writer, along with a reading by a student from the CMU creative writing department and a performance by a local singer/songwriter or performer from the CMU school of music. “It makes for a great cultural experience,” Fanning said. “Her poems are direct and plain-spoken, but deeply moving. I found her work this summer online, and was
extremely excited knowing she’d be another great poet to bring to Wellspring. When I invited her, she responded enthusiastically. “ In the past three years, the series has featured writers from Detroit, Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Traverse City and East Lansing. This year’s series will feature visits by more of Michigan’s premiere poets and writers, including Fleda Brown, Anne-Marie Oomen, Jamie Thomas, Glenn Shaheen and CMU student Courtney Kalmbach. “Robert arranges the speakers and musicians, while Art Reach provides the space, marketing and financial support via a grant from the Russ Herron Poetry Fund of the Mount Pleasant Area Community Foundation,” said Kathy Hill, executive director of Art Reach. Hill said she is especially pleased that the series has developed a loyal audience of community members and students alike. “Each poet is unique, and most readings are gripping and personal,” Hill said. All readings are free and open to the public and refreshments are provided by Max and Emily’s, 125 E. Broadway St. “My hopes for this year are that the series continues to draw strong audiences and to inspire creativity,” Hill said. Brown was the poet laureate of Delaware from 2007 to 2009 and taught for 27 years and directed the poets in the schools program at the University of Delaware. She is the recipient of the Felix Pollak Prize, a Pushcart Prize, the Phillip Levine Prize, the Great Lakes Colleges New Writer’s Award and her work has been a finalist twice in the National Poetry Series. “I expect another great year,” Fanning said. “This is the first time I don’t know any of the poets and hopefully it will draw more faculty and students who have never been here before.” metro@cm-life.com
