MSUPD stresses tailgate, stadium regulations Sydney Smith Managing Editor @SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

Students making the 70-mile journey to Michigan State University for this weekend’s football game will need to comply with the Spartans’ rules on tailgating and stadium behavior. MSU Police’s special events unit will be policing the tailgate and the game, and students can expect police presence when pregame partying. Behavior at MSU can come back to haunt students at Central Michigan University through the Office of Student Conduct. Those who are involved in criminal cases will be referred to Director of Student Conduct Tom Idema, and punishment action can happen through the university and through Lansing courts. “As a student, the Code of Conduct follows you wherever you go,” Idema said. “Students need to be aware of that. Information has been shared between schools about expectations for this weekend. We hope students go down there and have a great time, but represent CMU well when they’re there, so they can come back in a safe fashion.” Many students plan to venture to MSU to tailgate and attend the game. Haslett senior Maddie Heilman said she attended the CMU vs. MSU game in 2009 as a freshman, and called the atmosphere “crazy.” “I have a lot of friends that go to State because I’m from that area,” she said. “The people at State were nice, though.” Heilman said she plans to stay with friends throughout the weekend, and wear CMU gear the whole time. Illinois junior David Dowejko said he’s also going to wear CMU clothing to represent his school. He’s been to games at MSU before, and said it’s a much bigger event than at CMU. “It’s a Big 10 atmosphere; there’s more hype behind it,” he said. “Since we beat them (at State) last time, there’s definitely a rivalry. They don’t want to lose again.” Though Dowejko doesn’t have a ticket yet, they are still available, but according to MSU’s ticket portal, seating is low or unavailable in all parts of the stadium. Tickets for around either end zone or for the uppermost decks behind CMU’s bench cost $50. Mid-deck seats on CMU’s side cost $100, or $80 for a seat off to the side of the bench.

Tailgate The rules of tailgate at MSU slightly differ from CMU’s. MSUPD Lt. Sean Mills said there tends to be an increase in tickets and arrests when many students come to MSU from other schools. “People tend to want to come back to all the friends they know here and want to have a good time,” he said. “We will have a few additional (officers) this weekend.” At CMU, students are only allowed to tailgate three hours before the game. At MSU, tailgate for this weekend’s noon game can begin at 7 a.m., but students are encouraged not to come before that time as lining up cars is not permitted. Attendees are invited to tailgate in all public parking areas on campus. Cars cannot be parked on grass north of the Red Cedar River and are restricted south of that because compacting the soil in this area causes danger to nearby trees. Munn Field, the

CMU students and visitors gather in the afternoon for a CMU tailgate on Sept. 12.

“As a student, the Code of Conduct follows you wherever you go. Students need to be aware of that.” Tom Idema, Director of Student Conduct

alcohol-free area closest to the stadium, is available for parking at $20. However, this area is primarily a family-oriented space. Red Cedar Road will be closed from Shaw Lane to Chesnut Road as it is during all MSU home games. Parking is available in lots north and south of the railroad tracks for $20, or $10 on Service Road, including the south side. A shuttle bus service is available from Lot 89, on the corner of Mount Hope Road and Farm Lane. The shuttle starts two hours prior to kickoff and returns for a duration of time after the game. The bus costs $5 and parking in Lot 89 is free. During tailgate, no couches or upholstered furniture can be present. MSU does not allow kegs or drinking games like beer pong, similar to CMU. Cars are not allowed to trail any type of vehicle, including pig roasters on wheels. Oversized trucks must park in RV parking, which is in Lot 92 on Service Road. Parking there is available for $30.

Those attending are expected to pick up after themselves. Spartan Stadium gives out green and white trash bags for free, which can be put in trash bins set out for tailgaters. Tents larger than 10 by 10 feet are not permitted. No open containers are allowed in campus buildings or in public areas around them, except for the parking lots. Public areas immediately adjacent to Spartan Stadium are alcohol-free. Open containers are not permitted in East Lansing, even on game day.

Inside Spartan Stadium After a 2011 investigation by the Department of Homeland Security, no bags or purses are allowed in Spartan Stadium. This is the same for binoculars, cameras and radio cases. “It’s more secure, and it gets you into the stadium faster,” Mills said. “We do not have a place to store people’s bags at the stadium.” While cell phones are permitted, selfie sticks are not allowed inside the stadium. Students can bring cameras, blankets and rain apparel, but umbrellas are not permitted. Food, drinks and alcohol cannot be brought inside, aside from one factory-sealed 20 oz. water bottle per person. Weapons of any kind are not allowed in Spartan Stadium. Police encourage students to text the word “MSUPD” along with a message to 274637 if attendees witness a crime or suspicious behavior. Texts sent to this account will be anonymously delivered to the police department.

| Staff Photographer The digital bell system can be found on the fourth floor of Warriner Hall and plays a variety of songs including Alma Mater, Hear Us Now, the CMU Fight Song and Hail to the Chippewa.

Source of the sound Chime tones that sound from Warriner Hall originate from digital system By Kate Carlson News Editor @k8erzz | news@cm-life.com

There has never been a tangible, instrumental “bell” responsible for the musical tone that sounds every hour from Warriner Hall. “I was in awe,” said Centreville junior Melanie Knautz, as she described the moment she was first told there were no bells in Warriner. “It’s the fact that we think we have bells when we don’t that strikes me.” An electronic chime system about the size of a onedrawer filing cabinet is housed on the fourth floor of Warriner Hall. The system digitally creates a bell tone that plays every hour from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Wires extend from the electronic chimes to speakers on the roof where the sound is amplified. Assistant Director of University Events Keith Voeks has been in charge of maintaining and programming the chimes since 1990. He was recruited for the job because he had experience taking care of the carillon chimes at Virginia Polytech Institute and State University. Voeks said that a lot of people probably assume there are real bells playing on campus. “That’s a testament to the quality of digital technology today,” he said. The system in place now costs about $10,000, significantly lower than what Voeks estimated a real carillon set of bells would cost, which are a minimum of about $100,000. “Any time we have a problem with the mechanics, the university steps up to the plate and makes sure to provide us with the financial resources to keep them working, because they consider them a very rich part of our tradition here at CMU,” Voeks said.

The first set of chimes was donated from the student council and faculty at a cost of $1,000 in 1939, and has been replaced three times. According to a 1939 Central State Life article, these chimes were installed in the organ chamber of Warriner auditorium where they were amplified from the Warriner tower. The university upgraded to a tape recording system that broke down in 1947 and was replaced by an “inexpensive electronic system which resembles the inside workings of a grandfather clock,” according to Instructional resources director Sherwood Bridges in a Central Michigan Life article from 1986. “A college campus isn’t a college campus without a bell tower. Michigan State has Beaumont, and we have our Warriner,” said Reference Specialist Bryan Whitledge, who works at the Clarke Historical Library and has researched the history of the chimes at CMU. The maintenance of the bells today is minimal beyond correcting for spring and fall time change, said Voeks. He also occasionally changes the tune that plays at 8 a.m., noon and 5 p.m., he said. “On football game weekends we put on the Fight Song and the Alma Mater,” Voeks said. “So every home football game, you should hear those playing during the weekend.” Whitledge views the chimes as a sign of a mature established college campus, and said he enjoys hearing the musical tones. “It lets you know that you’re participating in something that’s not just drinking on Main Street,” Whitledge said. “There’s a little bit of a tradition, there’s a little bit of a history there.” Other musical tunes played by the chimes have been church hymns, Christmas carols and patriotic songs. There are six different playlists programmed for the chimes that are used depending on the season.

SEPT. 24, 2015 y Central Michigan Life y Cm-life.com Courtesy Photo | Densing Gurung Shanker Tamang provided humanitarian aid directly to his home village in Nepal on May 17, 2015 after it experienced a devastating earthquake. This was his first time home in six years.

CMU FOR SEMJONG

Nepalese student returns to home village to provide relief after earthquake By Grant LeFaive Staff Reporter @grant_lefaive | news@cm-life.com

n April 25, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale

devastated Nepal. This was the largest earthquake to strike the country since 1934. It left 9,000 dead and 23,000 injured, triggering a series of aftershocks that haunted Nepal and parts of India, China and Bangladesh for months afterward.

These were not just numbers to Central Michigan University graduate student Shanker Tamang. Tamang grew up in Semjong village in the Dhading District of Nepal, a day’s travel from Kathmandu. The second-year graduate student was studying molecular biology at CMU when he heard the news of devastation in his home country. “It was really hard to communicate (with) Nepal and after two or three days I heard my whole village was totally destroyed, which had about 120 houses,” Tamang said. “I thought ‘Okay, I need to do something.’” Political science faculty Prakash Adhikari, who grew up in the Taplejung district, was also concerned for his family. “It was painful to see people suffer in Nepal,” Adhikari said. “We were suffering here watching them suffer there.” The day after the news broke, Adhikari called a meeting of Nepalese students to find a way to provide aid for their home country. “Every time there is a catastrophe, people are sympathetic

and want to help,” Adhikari said. “But we don’t know if our help would reach those who need it. What do you do when you’re not medical personnel or a trained rescue worker and could end up being a burden by drinking local water and eating local food that others need?” The following day, Tamang emailed Adhikari and told him that his village had been wiped out. The two immediately set off raising funds for his village, having found a clear goal to help. “If we sent money to the government, it would be a drop in the ocean,” Adhikari said. “But we could send it to a specific location to help. We decided to send our donations to Semjong in the Dhading District.” While Tamang began a GoFundMe campaign, Adhikari, adviser to the registered student organization Amnesty International CMU, began raising funds locally.

Adhikari described the response of the CMU community as “overwhelming” and was offered financial and emotional support by his colleagues both here and at the University of New Mexico, his previous position. Tamang rallied for support within the CMU community. He began an online campaign on April 26, raising nearly $5,000 in one week, and $8,000 by the time he was on a flight to Nepal on May 4. Due to the circumstances, he and Adhikari were leery of handing $8,000 U.S. dollars (529,219.6 Rupee) over to a local or member of government and hoping that it would be spent properly. “If no one could do it, then I would go myself,” Tamang said. Contact with those in his home village was limited due to the destruction, Tamang said, but what he heard worried him. After arriving in Kathmandu from Quatar, his fears multiplied. “I couldn’t focus on what I was going to do,” Tamang said. “I could see the trauma, frustration, pain everywhere.” Shanker stayed with his father, Pancha Tamang, while formulating a plan to relieve his village. Locals seldom slept or spent much time inside their homes, Tamang said, for fear that the building would collapse under one of the daily tremors. The tension of daily aftershocks created a stressful and exhausting environment for the Nepalese. “If I just banged the table with my fist, everyone would run outside their houses,” Tamang said. “Once there was a truck driving and it hit a wire running across the road and it started shaking and everyone ran outside because they thought they heard another earthquake. It was that bad.” He and local volunteers, many of whom were childhood friends, packed 10 kg. of rice, 1 liter of cooking oil, 1 kg. of sugar, 10 packets of biscuits, 50 g. of tea and 1 kg. of Masyaura (local vegetable) for 136 families living in Semjong. Additionally, each family was donated cash from the fund, 3000 rupee for every family and 6000 rupee for families with injured or deceased relatives. The night he and the volunteers arrived at Semjong to distribute the provisions — Tamang’s first time home in six years — they received a hero’s welcome from family and friends. “They killed a goat to feed us,” Tamang said,

in awe of the optimism of his people in the light of disaster. After a night of celebrating, Tamang went to sleep confident that the situation was not as bad as he had feared. Then the morning light came, and illuminated the full extent of the damage. Tamang was heartbroken. “Nothing was there,” Tamang said. “How can they welcome us so warmly when they have nothing? It was hard to see them in that (much) pain and still smiling.” Tamang and the others stayed with the people of Semjong for another night. During the night, a storm came through and washed away the shelter the village had erected. He knew his work was far from done. “The thing they need most is a temporary shelter with a steel rooftop,” he said. Tamang and the other volunteers then travelled back to Kathmandu to purchase sturdy roofing. When back in Kathmandu to search for roofing supplies on May 12, an aftershock with the magnitude of 7.4 shook Nepal.

“I was in the earthquake by myself,” Tamang said. “It was really terrifying. The walls were moving and you feel like you’re in a swing. The buildings are shaking like trees and I was between three very tall buildings and a big wall at that time so there was no escape. There were a hundred people outside squeezed in

lifestyle

that area.” Tamang, shaken but determined, continued his quest to find a roof for his people. Through the help of a friend and local entrepreneur, Kiran Khadka, and nonprofit organization Help Nepal Today, he was able to purchase and install the materials in his village. Tamang found help in Jenny Huynh, a senior pre-med student at CMU who was in Nepal volunteering for the Children’s Hospital for Eye Ear and Rehabilitation Services at the time. Huynh heard about Tamang through her friends in Nepal, and spent two days helping him deliver the tin roofing to his village. “It’s very difficult to explain the experience I had because I found it really surprisingly different for me,” she said. “It was shocking, heartbreaking but warming as well because people do whatever they can to help their neighbors instead of complaining. They work to overcome it instead.” Immediately after returning from Nepal on June 1, Tamang began requesting funding for the rebuilding of schools in the area. His next goal is to maintain education in Nepal to ensure that other Nepalese will have the opportunity to study at the collegiate level. “If one Shanker can come back and help his people, what could ten or a hundred do for their village?” Tamang said. Tamang first arrived in the U.S. in January 2009 to study molecular biology at the University of Wyoming. He insists that his next relief endeavor be geared towards education in his home area. Tamang is currently seeking the resources to rebuild, staff and supply schools in his area. Tamang encourages CMU students to donate and volunteer for Nepal through the Facebook page “Help Semjong Village Survive.”

Developer may turn Todd’s party store into student housing By Ben Solis Staff Reporter @bensolis1 | news@cm-life.com

A local developer’s plan to convert Todd’s Party Store into student housing moved forward Wednesday after receiving approval from the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals. Joe Olivieri wants to demolish the beer and wine depot at 104 E. May St. and turn it into a fiveperson, rooming and boarding house. The building is zoned as a non-conforming property in the M2 district, an area made up of mostly student housing. Olivieri presented his plan to the ZBA during a public hearing at its regular Wednesday meeting. ZBA officials approved the plan, providing the Olivieri significantly reduces its non-conforming elements. Changes include barriers to prevent lawn parking and adjusting its property line. The building must also no longer sell alcohol. Olivieri must now gain site plan approval from the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission. If approved, Olivieri hopes to raze the single-story building this year. He expects construc-

tion to begin soon thereafter. Demolition and construction will not affect surrounding roadways or student traffic. Todd’s Party Store closed in March 2014 after eight years in business at 104 E. May St. The store was owned by Todd Gurzick, who leased the property from Marshall Real Estate, according to Mount Pleasant property tax records. Mount Pleasant residents voiced concerns about student behavior at various city meetings throughout the year. Many have equated more student housing to the increase in student partying. Zoning Board member Lara Raisanen raised the issue again in discussion. With new student housing comes new student problems, she said, especially in an area so close to residential neighborhoods. Todd’s Party Store is a short city block away from the R3 residential district. The property was originally zoned to close at 11 p.m. — an assurance Raisanen will not have with students. “The problem is the party store closes at 11 p.m.,” Raisanen said. “Student parties do not.”

Todd’s Party Store sits empty at the corner of May and Main Street on Sept. 23.

William Marshall of Marshall Real Estate said there are nuisance party clauses in all of his leases. If a group of student renters host a party, they can be fined $300. Marshall said his local leasing agent will routinely monitor student

properties on weekends to hold students accountable. Brian Kench, Mount Pleasant’s building official, said Marshall properties have a record of violations, most of them dealing with trash. In a rare show of resident

support, Nancy Fulton spoke in favor of changing the store into a student dwelling during public comment. “I’m one of those people who can sit on their front porch and see the property,” Fulton said. “I like the property and I’m a

big Detroit Tigers fan, but I will not miss the building. I wish there were only going to be four people living in the house, but I can understand the need to have one more person. “It’s still lower than what we’ve had in the past.”

Alcohol to be served at McGuirk Arena for first time By Ben Solis Staff Reporter @bensolis1 | news@cm-life.com

Alumni and students will be able to purchase beer at the upcoming Third Eye Blind concert on Oct. 2, said Central Michigan University Recreation officials. The concert will mark the first public sale of alcohol ever in McGuirk Arena, said Stan Shingles, assistant vice president of University Recreation. Beer will be distributed in 16-ounce cups for $5 to students

or alumni who are at least 21 years old. Promoters and university staff call beer sales a “welcome back” gesture to returning alumni over Homecoming Weekend. “Obviously it’s an amenity that many are used to while attending concerts all around the state or country,” Shingles said. “We wanted this to be just another part of the alumni experience when they come back for Homecoming.” Ticket and vendor proceeds will go directly to the university, Shingles said. U-Rec budgeted

$130,000 for the concert, which includes production and talent costs. Third Eye Blind will receive $90,000 for the performance. Celebrity Events is producing the concert, and will receive a talent finders fee. The company is owned by local restaurateur John Hunter. Celebrity Events and Hunter produced an LMFAO show at McGuirk Arena in 2011. Selling beer publicly in McGuirk is unprecedented, but students shouldn’t expect alcohol sales at sports or university events any time soon.

“Our liquor license allows (us to sell beer) in this capacity, and our staff routinely serves beer in cash bars during non-public events,” he said. “In terms of looking in a crystal ball (about other events), I’m not sure. We look at these things on a case by case basis. We always ask ‘why?’ For this concert, it’s about Homecoming, outreach to alumni, and bringing them back to campus.” Still, most students agree selling alcohol at sports games and concerts could shore up university revenue.

“If they can regulate it, I think they should,” said graduate student Shane O’Riordan, 25, from Ireland. “(Selling beer) would be a great way to keep the buzz going inside the stadium. That way alumni have a way to drink while they’re there.” Even with the incentive of higher revenues, Macomb junior Megan Moews said they university should take caution when considering alcohol. “When I’ve gone to university concerts in the past, there’s always kids that drink anyway,” she said. “I wonder: if they allow drinking,

will it make better or worse? Being on a college campus, I’m not sure how it will affect how kids act at a concert.” Students behave differently at concerts with heavier genres, Moews added. She advises university officials to continue judging each event on a case by case basis. “It really does depend on the concert,” she said. “I can’t imagine people doing heavy drinking or hard drugs at a country show, more than they would at rock concert.”

Mahone talks policy points, SGA history all the students here if you didn’t even do what you said you were going to do initially? I remember the platform points she said she was going to do, and she completed none of them. Not a single one. And she wasn’t the only one. The president before her didn’t complete (most) of their policy points and neither did the president before them, or the president my freshman year. That’s a trend we have seen in SGA of people promising things that sound great but they know they actually can’t do, or things they can do but just don’t put their mind to getting it done. I made sure that if I was going to run again, I was going to get my platform points done. But not only that, once (my policy points) were completed, then I would start to take up things students (raised concerns) on.

As president of the Student Government Association, Detroit senior Chuck Mahone serves as an ambassador for students who also works with administration. Serving his second term as president, Mahone has worked diligently with SGA and others on campus to accomplish policy points he and Vice President Maggie Blackmer outlined during campaign season last year. Still, Mahone feels that students do not fully grasp his role on campus. In an effort to clear the air, Mahone sat down with Central Michigan Life to talk about what it means to be president, what his policy points for the year are and where he will go from here.

What are your plans then for the rest of the year? Since we’ve been very proactive, using the summer to our advantage to make things possible, that gives us (now) the opportunity to really delve into the student body and see what they want us to work on. Last year we got done with our platform points by December and definitely found things to occupy ourselves with for the rest of (the year). I think it will be the same thing this year. We like to look (retroactively) at things that students are consistently promised and work from there.

You are SGA president, and have been since your junior year. When did you get involved in SGA? When I came here for orientation, I don’t know what it was but I knew that I wanted to be student body president and represent the students here. I had some experience doing it in high school where I was student body president there, but obviously that’s nothing like on a collegiate level. It wasn’t until I went to Leadership Safari, and the SGA president always addresses students at Leadership Safari, and once I was able to get that visual of who the (president) was and actually what (being president) looked like, that’s what sent me on the path. What was your motivation for running for president? I believe it’s the same thing that makes me want to go into politics now: that (I) get to represent those who either can’t or don’t have the ability to represent themselves. It’s a very powerful thing to get to advocate on behalf of your peers. Quite a few presidents have attempted to run for office twice. Only three presidents have succeeded, including you. How did you make it happen? If you’re familiar with the term “political capital,” that’s something that definitely came into play. Because I ran (and was

elected) for my first term and because I did win with such a large margin as I had been talking about this since my freshman year so everyone was waiting to vote for me — as Mariah (Urueta) and I were both very well known people on campus — we had a lot of political capital coming our way. Whenever we put our mind to something, it happened very quickly. Now because people are used to my face and the things I do, and ultimately I get things done, it’s not as much of a kneejerk reaction to (wondering if) I’m going to get things done. When it comes to getting

things done, we do it, which is why all of our platform points are already done. What were your platform points? Longer library hours, bigger desks in classrooms and an increase in the overall Campus Programing Fund. Everything we ran on last year has been completed. How did you meet your goals so quickly? The president who I ran against (my first time) was Marie Reimers and her slogan was “momentum.” My thing was, how can you run for a second term of representing

Is there anything you think the student body needs to know about you? I don’t think I’m as important, as I think that students need to know about the (SGA) office. I think they need to know that they have a student body president and that they have someone they can go to with their concerns and questions. Even if you don’t know what you need or who to go to, (SGA) can point you in the right direction. The office is what they need to know about. Know that you have a president, know what SGA is, because when it comes down to it we’re the only group on campus that has that power to create an administrative change on (a permanent) level. We’re the only ones that are really plugged into the university.

News and notes

growing number of online courses taken by on-campus students In 2007, about 20 percent of students taking courses through Central Michigan University’s Global Campus did so online. By 2015, this number increased to about 80 percent. A growing number of these students are undergraduate, on-campus students, according to research compiled by the Online Academics Program Study Committee. Committee chairs DaleElizabeth Pehrsson and David Patton delivered an update Tuesday to the

Academic Senate. Oncampus students generated about 26 percent of total Global campus course credit last year. “It was often easy to view global campus as a separate thing but with the increase of online activity that is involving main campus students more and more, that seperation doesn’t exist anymore,” Patton said. The committee was established by the CMU Board of Trustees in April. Its purpose is to ensure that CMU remains a leader in

online programs. “I can’t sit here honestly and tell you that there is a strategy as to where we are going online,” said University President George Ross. “The board is concerned about our competition and the market place. I would encourage the senators to come and interact with the board. This group can’t bring answers, they are going to raise issues and frame where we are going.” - Malachi Barrett Editor-in-Chief

Good Luck Chippewas! Fire Up!

Greer to appear in court Monday, Kinville trial pushed back Two former Central Michigan University football players are scheduled to appear in court during the next few weeks. Michael Kinville faces assault by strangulation and domestic violence charges after police say he choked his girlfriend May 30. Kinville is scheduled for a motion hearing Sept. 24 before his trial on Nov. 2. At the hearing, the judge will rule on motions filed by Kinville’s attorney. The defense is filing for of complainant Joslyn Seger’s medical records regarding the treatment she received as a result of injuries she said were caused during the assault. Seger said she

refused medical treatment on the night of the alleged assault, but went to Urgent Care in Mount Pleasant the next day. When Kinville was arrested, Seger had visible bruising, according to court documents. Kinville’s attorney filed a second motion to move the trial from Sept. 28 to Nov. 2, which was granted. According to court documents, the defense counsel needs more time to further investigate and put together funds to hire an expert forensic pathologist. Brandon Greer is scheduled for a final pre-trial and settlement conference on Sept. 28. Greer is facing charges

of intent to commit sexual penetration, criminal sexual conduct, attempted unlawful imprisonment, lying to a police officer, eight counts of disturbing the peace and one count of assault and battery. Greer was housed at the Isabella County Jail after his arrest on July 8, but bonded out on a $450,000 cash surety bond on Aug. 24. Multiple women have alleged to have been approached by Greer, who they say made sexual comments to them and referenced possessing a gun to some. On July 9, Greer was dismissed from the CMU athletic program. - Sydney Smith Managing Editor

State of the University cancelled President George Ross will not be giving a formal State of the University Address until 2017, instead opting to deliver a written report each fall semester. Associate Vice President of University Communications Sherry Knight said the decision had nothing to do with recent asbestos issues that shut

down Plachta auditorium, the venue where Ross’ address is held. The decision was made in the spring, Knight explained, before the asbestos was disturbed and the resulting cleanup was required. “State of the University addresses aren’t set in stone; they don’t always occur,” Knight said in an email after

the meeting. “The annual report will come out later this fall. He will use it in conversations with smaller groups of people, including the Academic Senate, for example. The decision was made so that he could have more in-depth, personal conversations across the university.”

THROW BACK THURSDAY

his week’s throwback is a triple-threat. Central Michigan University has come out on top of the Spartans three times since 1991, including back-to-back victories over Michigan State in 1991 and 1992. The Sept. 14, 1991 game is considered the greatest upset in CMU history, as MSU entered the game ranked No. 18, only to be dominated by the Chippewas 20-3. They would not have a shot at revenge the following year when Brian Pruitt’s 7-yard touchdown put the game out of reach for the Spartans. More recently, CMU pulled off the upset again in 2009 when Andrew Aguila blasted 75004 a game-winning field goal with three seconds on the clock.

Operation: Upset

Underdog Chippewas look to knock national powerhouse Michigan State off course By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter @DomMastrangelo1 | sports@cm-life.com

Two tightly-contested games against a pair of Power Five college football programs have sharpened the teeth of the Central Michigan University football team. Next, the Chippewas will attempt to take a bite out of the Spartans and pull off the biggest upset in program and MidAmerican Conference history. For the Chippewas, their matchup with No. 2 Michigan State this weekend presents an opportunity to bring pride to the “true” CMU football fans that want nothing more than to beat the Spartans in MSU’s home stadium. “It would mean the world to us,” said junior punter Ron Coluzzi. “To beat Michigan State this year would be something I would be telling my grandchildren about.” Coluzzi, a native of Illinois, is a rare case on CMU’s team, which features 75 players from Michigan, including 10 from the Lansing-area. Starters from the Capitol region include quarterback Cooper Rush (Charlotte), left tackle Ramadan Ahmeti (Lansing) and kicker Brian Eavey (Grand Ledge). “We’re going back home to tons of family and friends,” Rush said. “It’s always cool to play in front of all of them.” Rush had his best game of season last week during CMU’s 30-27 overtime loss to Syracuse, throwing for 430 yards and two scores including the game-tying touchdown to senior tight end Ben McCord. McCord was named the John Mackey Tight End of the

Even though MSU’s defense will have a few holes due to injuries in the secondary and a first-half suspension for junior linebacker Riley Bullough, it’s still one of the tougher defenses in the country. I expect Cooper Rush to work some magic against the vulnerable secondary, but the Spartans overall will be too much to handle.

The Spartans clearly represent the Chippewas’ biggest test of the season and might end up college football’s national champion when the year is finished. I expect CMU to keep it close, but get out-gained, out-smarted and flat out beaten during the second half.

The Chippewas have hung tough with some talented teams so far this season. However, Michigan State holds a highly different mountain to climb. Don’t be surprised if CMU keeps it close for the first quarter and a half, but ultimately, the Spartans will be too much for the Chippewas to handle.

Chippewa fans are hoping for the upset of the century against the No. 2-ranked Spartans. Realistic thinking leads me to believe otherwise; CMU won’t have the magic they had in 2009 when they defeated MSU at Spartan Stadium. Good Big Ten competition nonetheless.

The Chippewas are coming off a strong performance against Syracuse, but Michigan State should bring CMU down to earth. Expect MSU defensive end Shilique Calhoun and the Spartan front seven to give Cooper Rush problems all afternoon. Don’t expect this to be a close game against the No. 2 team in the country at Spartan Stadium.

Week for his performance. He said it served as the perfect primer for the Chippewas’ biggest test yet. “Last year I didn’t get the ball so much,” McCord said. “After three games, I feel like Coop is real comfortable. It would mean everything to beat State. I ain’t gonna lie, I grew up a Michigan State die-hard fan. Going in there my last year is exciting and I’m pumped for it.” Adding to another hyped matchup between

the Chippewas and Spartans is MSU’s No. 2 overall ranking. The last time CMU took on a team ranked that high was No. 2 Georgia in 2008. CMU lost to the Bulldogs, 56-17. The highest ranked team CMU has ever faced was Florida in 1997, when the Gators were ranked No. 1 in the coaches’ poll (No. 2 in the AP rankings). CMU’s lone victory over a ranked team came against MSU in 1991 with a 20-3 victory over the No. 18 Spartans.

meetings, a 41-7 victory in Mount Pleasant in 2012 and a 45-7 win at home in 2011. CMU’s last win came in 2009, a 29-27 victory. The Chippewas won the first two meetings in the series in 1991 and 1992. “They’ve done a tremendous job of building that program,” said first-year CMU Head Coach John Bonamego. “It’s no accident that they are where they are. It’s an excellent model that frankly we would like to copy to the best ability we have here.” This year, the Spartans are led by senior quarterback Connor Cook, who has passed for 695 yards and eight touchdowns in three games this season.

Cook’s favorite target has been fellow senior Aaron Burbridge, the reigning Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.

The Spartans’ signature nonconference win came in front of a national television audience Week 2 against No. 7 Oregon, immediately making MSU one of the favorites in the college football playoff race. “This game is going to be a really, really hard one to get,” Bonamego said. “It’s a chance to go toe-to-toe with one of the giants and see how we measure up.”

Serving the Competition By Greg Wickliffe Staff reporter @GregWickliffe10 | sports@cm-life.com

As Jordan Bueter sits at her locker before each match, “Two Step” by Dave Matthews Band plays through her headphones. The star outside hitter says the song relaxes her. Once the headphones are out, she’s ready to step onto the court. “(The song) reminds me of a concert I went to,” Bueter said. “The headphones block out all of the noise and puts me in the zone.” In her sophomore season with Central Michigan University volleyball, Bueter has become an essential part of the program. “She’s a tougher player (than last year),” said Head Coach Erik Olson. “She’s more consistent. She had some weaknesses in (the first) weekend, and she’s firmed those up real well in the last two weekends.” Bueter’s contribution has increased as she leads the Chippewas with 163 kills, 15 more than she had at this time last season. Olson said he knew Bueter was a special player from the moment he began to recruit her. “When I recruited Jordan, she was playing in an 18-year-old open league in high school as a freshman,” Olson said. “She knows how to (handle expectations).” Aside from her ability to rack

up the kills, her serving is what makes Olson believe Bueter is one of the most talented players in the entire Mid-American Conference. “She has the best serve I’ve ever seen in MAC play,” Olson said. “And that’s what I’ve been saying since she got here.” Olson said the average speed of Bueter’s serves are faster than 50 mph, and are more effective than former All-MAC performer Kaitlyn McIntyre. “At any level, that’s pretty darn fast,” he said. “But she does have to learn how to control it. I want her to own it more.” Olson said Bueter’s high speed serve gives opposing players little time to react. “The speed of it makes it so fast, that if (the opponent) second guesses it at all, the ball is going to be passed off the net,” he said. “You have to decide in about less than two-tenths of a second what you’re going to do, so that’s what makes it good.” However, Olson said Bueter’s serving method is risky. “It’s a high-risk serve, so sometimes she’s going to miss big, and then other times she’s going to kick the crud out of some teams too,” he said. Before she serves, Bueter exhales slowly, takes three steps forward, tosses the volleyball two feet over her head, jumps and smashes it over the net. During this process,

her mind is completely clear. “Nothing can go through my mind,” she said. “If it does, then I overthink too much.” This serving technique helped the 6-foot South Bend, Indiana native lead the team in serving aces last season with 26. Bueter is leading the team again with 16 aces in 2015, nearly twice as many as the next closest Chippewa. “Going into matches, I tell her ‘You’ve got the green light, you just

go,’” Olson said. “Everyone else has serving rules, and intensity levels, but she has to just go.” Carrying the offense for a team where 11 of its 15 players are underclassmen is no small feat, but Bueter said she doesn’t feel any added pressure. “Our entire team has risen to what we want to accomplish this year,” she said. “It’s not necessarily just putting pressure on one person, everyone has a special

role on the team. We’re all there to help each other.” Freshman setter Marissa Grant formed a bond with Bueter even before the two stepped on the court as Chippewas. “I’ve known her for a while now, and she’s just a great teammate,” Grant said. “She’s a very sweet person, and she likes to get down to the point and get things done, and I really like that. She pushes everybody, but at a good comfort-

able level, so she’s just a very helpful person.” As any humble leader would, Bueter credits her fellow Chippewas with her growth as a player in such a short period of time. “I have a different level of competitiveness,” Bueter said. “But I think that comes with the entire team. It’s a different atmosphere. Everyone meshes really well, and it’s just really fun to play here.”

Stacy tells golf to ‘control the controllables’ this season By Andrew Surma Staff reporter @Andrew_Surma | sports@cm-life.com

In its second season on campus, Central Michigan University golf Cheryl Stacy wants to help create the program’s foundation in her first full year as head coach. Stacy replaces former Head Coach Tom Beidleman, who was fired for lying to CMU’s Athletic Department about credentials. Stacy was a two time AllAmerican at Ohio State and saw success as the head coach of the University of Michigan’s women’s golf team from 2009 to 2013. She already started the process of creating a culture for the program and building personal bonds with her players. “Team bonding and building

that trust was initially what we worked on,” Stacy said. “This year we are starting new. For me, this is a full season. The girls have had all summer to work on their games, but we did do some team bonding. We did some kayaking down the Chippewa River and they came over to my house for a barbecue.” Now in her second season, Rochester sophomore Chloe Guschewski said the team is looking for the steadiness of a head coach this season. “(Beidleman) did a lot of things that were really surprising to all of us when we found out about it,” Guschewski said. “All of us trusted the school to hire a coach that was qualified, who didn’t have any of the problems that Coach Beidleman did. A lot of the things were

unsaid—little bits and pieces came out at different times.” Guschewski said her trust in the program is beginning to be reestablished. “(The relationship with Stacy) is a lot better because we know she is going to be here for a while,” she said. “We can have that personal connection with her and she is really supportive.” Battle Creek senior Hannah Matthies said the team is also adjusting well to Stacy’s coaching style. “(Practices last year) were so lax. We could do whatever we wanted,” Matthies said. “But now we have a lot of structure.” Sophomore Grand Blanc native Kristen Wolfe said spending the second half of last season with Stacy as an interim coach created

better communication between players and coaches, helping both sides become well acquainted. One “Coach Stacy-ism” Wolfe mentioned is what the team calls “controlling the controllables.” “There are things in golf you can control and things you can’t control,” Stacy said. “We’re trying to control those controllables. You

can control your attitude. You can control your preparation. You can’t always control your score.” After coming in last place last week at the Mary Fossum Invitational, Stacy said she is trying to train her team mentally, while improving and building momentum for the spring season. “Golf is weird because we have

sports

two seasons,” she said. “The spring season is our championship season because we have our (Mid-American Conference) championship.” Stacy said the fall portion of the season is when the team can improve its rankings, getting in better position for the MAC and NCAA Tournaments in the spring. “I’m just trying to see improvement every day, come out here and not make the same mistakes over and over,” she said. “Once they can start doing that and we see improvement there, I think you’re going to see our scores go down.” The Chippewas are without Georgia native Arielle Roberts, who transferred to Florida Atlantic. As a freshman, Roberts tied the school record for the lowest tournament round score at 75 in addition to making the Dean’s List. The team finished 14 out of 16 teams at the Cardinal Classic, earlier this week. After a week off, they will travel to The Catawba Island Club in Toledo, Oct. 5-6.

Soccer readies for weekend road matches, MAC play By Joe Judd Staff reporter @Josecan_yousee | sports@cm-life.com

With the nonconference season behind them, Central Michigan University soccer has a new challenge in facing familiar opponents from the Mid-American Conference. The Chippewas will take on Western Michigan at 4 p.m. Friday in Kalamazoo and Northern Illinois at 2 p.m. Sunday in DeKalb, Illinois. Both teams were contenders in last season’s MAC Championship, with the Huskies falling to the Broncos in the semifinals and Western Michigan losing 1-0 to Buffalo in the final. “I think the MAC is going to be good again,” said Head Coach Peter McGahey. “The conference is going to be tight, points are go-

ing to matter. You’re going to see another season of having every point matter.” At 1-5-1, McGahey said his team’s defense is not giving away easy goals and CMU can work to prevent such things from happening in the future. “Always at this time of year, we’re trying to find some rhythm,” he said. “The defense comes in first and then you have to build your attack from there.” Throughout the eight games played this year, the Chippewas have scored eight goals and surrendered 12. The Chippewas have 11 games left on their schedule, with six of those MAC contests at home in the new CMU soccer/lacrosse stadium. CMU’s rivalry with WMU is well-noted, but the context

of the rivalry is usually between the yard lines on the gridiron and not between the goals on the soccer pitch. McGahey said the key in starting the MAC season against a talented team like the Broncos is to take points away. “No one is bigger than anyone else,” McGahey said. “Western happens to be first up and it happens to have a lot of significance, so we’ll embrace the significance, go out and try to do the best we can and get a result on Friday.” The CMU coaching staff doesn’t think the team has any sense of false enthusiasm at this point in the season. “I think there’s a sincerity in terms of what the team wants to discover and I think that puts us in a good place,” McGahey said.

Volleyball travels to play top two teams in MAC West By Evan Sasiela Staff reporter @SalsaEvan | sports@sm-life.com

Erik Olson always wants to get better. The Central Michigan University volleyball head coach wants to improve on the team’s 5-11 record in the 2014 Mid-American Conference season. CMU’s chance begins this weekend. The Chippewas travel to Northern Illinois on Friday and Western Michigan on Saturday to begin MAC competition. CMU (5-8) will look to take advantage of a pair of teams that are struggling this year despite past success. “In my mind, this is one of the tougher weekends because of the pair we have to play,” Olson said. “They’re very commonly first and second in the division. That part of it is difficult. I see us playing pretty well right now and I see them struggling a bit more than they usually are. I’m excited to play this weekend.” CMU took two of three matches last weekend to win the Chippewa Challenge, including Saturday’s sweeps of San Jose State and Nebraska-Omaha. They won three games at the Cincinnati Invitational before entering MAC play in 2014. NIU (4-8) lost all three matches as the host team of the Huskie Invitational last weekend. The Huskies are led by T’Ara Austin and Jenna Radtke, who have combined for 266 kills this season. “We know their system,” Olson said. “Whether they’re really good or a little

off, it’s always a great match. Their environment makes it extremely difficult to play in.” Even though Victor E. Court has a capacity of only 800, Olson said has had to leave the gym in the past during timeouts for discussions due to the noise. He said it is the toughest environment in the MAC. “You just go out there and play volleyball,” Olson said. “I try to keep these guys in a mindset that whether we’re home or away you try to do everything the same.” Western Michigan won the MAC Championship in 2014, although it split four games at the Golden Grizzlies Invitational at Oakland University Sept. 18-19 and have a 4-11 record. Saturday’s match will be played at Kalamazoo College due to “delays in installing the new hardwood playing surface at WMU’s University Arena,” according to WMU’s athletics website. CMU is projected to finish fourth in the MAC West according to the preseason poll. NIU and WMU are projected to finish first and second in the division, respectively. Olson did not tell his players about the ranking and said it doesn’t matter. “It means nothing,” Olson said. “We’re in our next season right now. We’ve learned. We’ve grown an awful lot. We’re excited to get out there and compete.” Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Bueter said she was not aware of the projections.

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Bueter readies a hit against Evansville Sept. 18 at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas lost to Evansville, but defeated two opponents to win the Chippewa Challenge.

“I think we’ll do really well,” Bueter said. “We’re starting fresh.” Senior middle blocker Kalle Mulford wants to put the doubters to rest with a solid MAC campaign, the final of her career at CMU. “People can think and say what they

want, but on game day we’ll show you,” Mulford said. Olson believes the Chippewas’ recent surge and the struggles of his team’s two opponents may help CMU’s chances. “I loved our environment at home

this past weekend,” Olson said. “I think that energy has prepared us for this weekend. When you get into MAC (play), it gets nasty.” Friday’s game at NIU begins at 8 p.m. while Saturday’s matchup at WMU will start at 7 p.m.

Saturday’s game will sort out the true Chips

n Saturday, a group of Central Michigan students will have to make a choice. Green and white or maroon and gold? This is the dilemma for CMU students who also root for Michigan State. CMU Head Coach John Bonamego said after practice Wednesday it “irks” him to see Chippewa students wearing colors from a different school. “We are Central Michigan,” he said. “I just feel like you should be loyal to your school.” But for hardcore Spartan fans, it

might not be so easy. If the second-ranked Spartans can finish the regular season undefeated, they will likely end up in the College Football Playoff with a chance at the National Championship.

A loss to CMU would ruin them. The Spartans would fall down the rankings like Cedar Point’s Power Tower ride. On the other hand, a Chippewa victory—as unlikely as it may be—would be the biggest win in program history. It would also be the highest-ranked team a Mid-American Conference school has ever beaten, with the previous high coming in 2003 when Marshall defeated No. 6 Kansas State. It would be near the territory of Appalachian State upsetting Michigan

in 2007. Something junior kicker Ron Coluzzi said he would “tell his grandchildren.” Hence the quandary for Spartan fans on campus. There are some fans who have been born and raised in green and white, but there are undoubtedly others who just root for MSU because they’re good. And it’s fun to root for teams who win. Clearly its a different audience than the Detroit Lions fanbase. It’s easy to call out those flip-flop

fans and tell them to transfer to East Lansing. But it’s not so easy to root for “your school” and against “your team” if you’ve been waiting for Sparty’s chance at a title. Central Michigan is not the most glamorous team to cheer on. But come Saturday morning, the Spartans from Mount Pleasant will have a tough decision to make. Stay on the bandwagon? Or come together with your peers, root for your classmates and stick with the underdogs, like a true Chip?
