Former Central Michigan University faculty member Mark Ranzenberger admitted Sept. 27 in U.S. District Court that he sexually abused a minor from 1995 until 2002. Michigan State Police confirmed they are assisting the United States Secret Service with an additional investigation surrounding Ranzenberger. The former journalism and broadcasting instructor was in court to plead guilty to one count of possession of child pornography. Federal Prosecutor Anca Pop read the details of the plea agreement. In pleading guilty, Ranzenberger admitted to possessing child pornography and storing it on various devices found by police in March. He also admitted to sexually abusing a minor beginning in 1995 as often as three times a week until 2002. The U.S. Secret Service directed the victim to the Mount Pleasant Post and Troopers completed their investigation with the victim’s assistance. Michigan State Police completed its investigation and turned over investigative materials to

the Secret Service investigators. After Pop read the plea agreement, Ranzenberger’s lawyer, Jeffrey Rupp, read the facts and asked Ranzenberger to confirm them. RANZENBERGER The only detail he took issue with was the number of images found. Ranzenberger said he was surprised the number was more than 1,000, but did not deny the fact. The plea agreement sets the sentencing guideline between 11 and 14 years. After his sentence, Ranzenberger will be required to register as a sex offender. Ranzenberger will be sentenced by Judge Thomas Luddington. His sentencing date has not been set. - John Hogan, Staff Reporter

Party chairs: party polarization influenced by social media By Jordyn Hermani, Micayla Glennie News Editor, Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Youth education in politics and how social media can affect voting trends were the topics of discussion of Monday night’s Griffin Policy Forum in the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium. Sponsored by the College of Humanities & Social & Behavioral Sciences, panelists Ronna Romney McDaniel, chair of the Michigan Republican Party and Brandon Dillon, chair of the Michigan Democratic Party discussed the presidential election, party polarization and answered questions from the audiece. Lawrence Sych, a political science and public administration faculty member, served as the panel moderator. Romney McDaniel and Dillon began the night talking about how they first entered the political field and what their roles are as state party chairs. Both agreed trying to talk about politics in a non-partisan manner is essential for good discussion. With the nature of the topic, however, they said it’s not possible. Outside of the realm of politics, Romney McDaniel said people should do their best to not let their political lenses influence day-to-day life. “Do you go through your

life when you meet people and think ‘are they a Democrat? Are they a Republican? I don’t,” she said. “When I’m with my girlfriends, we talk about our kids, how’s school, our jobs or communities. I do think we have to work harder as parties to talk about the issues that matter to (voters) and not view issues as solely Democrat or Republican.” The chairs began talking about the presidential election midway through the debate. Sych posed a question about voting tendencies, revealing Michigan is the

fourth most politically polarized state in the country. He asked what the chairs thought about this issue, and whether they considered drastic polarization an issue at all. Both Romney McDaniel and Dillon said the media is probably one of the leading causes of party polarization, especially social media. “With the media, it used to be you only had three options for where you got your news: ABC, NBC or CBS. You had someone telling you the way it was and that’s the way it’s going to be,” Dillon

said. “Now, if (I) get on my phone, I can find 150 articles to justify anything I’ve said (about politics), no matter how right or wrong it is. We tend to self-select more on what we’re exposed to.” Romney McDaniel said she believes everything a person does, whether they’re conscious of it or not, is influenced by the government and its policies. Both agreed polarization makes it hard for a state to pass legislation and even harder for all residents of a state to approve of the new or pending laws.

Sych pointed to the fact this presidential election, both candidates have the lowest approval rates of any nominees in history, Dillon said that is sometomes ho politics works. “The only way you’re going to get someone who (shares your same ideals), who looks like you, is if you yourself run for president,” he said. The chairs said social media has changed things in terms of reaching the youth vote. Traditionally, political parties sent information to voters via mail

and landline calls. This method of targeting still works with the Baby Boomers and Gen Xers, but fails when used on Millennials. Now, parties have to figure out new ways to reach the young vote, typically through electronic means like email, Twitter or Facebook. Romney McDaniel emphasized how critical it is for young people to educate themselves and get engaged. Millennials don’t always pay attention to politics, but it effects them whether they realize it or not. “The more we can educate, the better prepared they are to make decisions,” Romney McDaniel said. The debate ended with questions being taken from the audience on notecards. Several of them brought up topics discussed earlier in the night, such as millennial voting engagement and if this presidential election could sour the opinion of young voters for years to come. Holland sophomore Jenna Veldheer, who is majoring in Special Education, planned to attend the forum to earn extra credit for a class. By the end of the night, she said she was glad she attended. “They did a good job at answering questions from all different views and not just one specific topic or idea,” Veldheer said.

MASTER OF HEALTH ADMINISTRATION OFFERED FOR FIRST TIME ONLINE, IN PERSON Fall 2016 is the inaugural semester for the new Master of Health Administration program at Central Michigan University. Twenty students comprise the first cohort, said Program Director Steven Berkshire. Although the program is designed to be offered both online and in the classroom, all 20 students are enrolled online. The program hasn’t spent enough money marketing the in-class option yet, Berkshire said. The program is for students interested in a career as an executive or senior staff in a healthcare institution or organization. The program is not

accredited at CMU, but Berkshire anticipates they will receive the professional standard of accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education. The program can apply for the accreditation after the first two cohorts are admitted. Individuals interested in applying for the program must have obtained a four-year bachelor degree of any major from an accredited college or university with a GPA of 3.0 on the 4.0 scale. The MHA admission process requires individuals to submit a resume, a 500 to 1,000 word statement

regarding the person’s reason to pursue an MHA and three letters of reference. The MHA degree requires a minimum of 51 credit hours at a cost of $548 per credit hour, according to the global campus section of CMU’s website. Among those, six credit hours must be dedicated to either an internship, field work or a thesis. Students interested in learning more about the MHA program can email Steven Berkshire at mha@cmich.edu. - Ben Agosta, Staff Reporter

TWO BUSINESS COLLEGE ALUMNI TO BE INDUCTED INTO CBA HALL OF FAME

Two alumni of the College of Business Administration will be inducted into the CBA Hall of Fame Nov. 18. According to a press release from the university, Dave Underwood and the late Doug Iles will be honored for their contributions to the fields of business and entrepreneurship in their communities. “While at the top of their fields, (they) took time to share their successes, lessons and advice with the next generation of business leaders and the greater university community,” the press release states. Underwood founded

Integral Technologies and Exacq Technologies in 1994. Both companies have been listed on Inc. Magazine’s list of the 500 fastest growing private companies in America. Underwood currently works as vice president and general manager of Tyco International’s video surveillance business. Iles began working for Merrill Lynch as a wealth management adviser in 1981. During his time at Central Michigan University, Iles helped the university’s financial planning program secure certification from the Certified Financial Planning Board, making one of only

three bachelor’s degree programs in Michigan to be certified by the Board. As a professor, Iles was both friend and mentor to his colleagues and students. Dan Ingles, a 2015 alumnus, was one student who fondly remembers the late professor. “He was an incredible man,” he said. “He saw value in me and decided he was willing to spend time mentoring me. He carved out so much time for all of his students.” Iles passed away in May. His son will be accepting the award on his behalf. - Mitchell Kukulka, Staff Reporter

Freshmen class more diverse, ACT scores up By Kate Carlson Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

ACT SCORE INCREASE In addition to the spike in minority students, the freshman class has an average ACT score higher than last year, with a score of 23. “The average across the nation has held at 21,” Johnson said. “It’s not just that we’re part of an overall rising score, it is rising relative to the national score.” The number of Centralis and merit scholarship awards has increased over the past three years. Johnson attributes it to a rise in the average GPA of incoming students. Centralis Scholarships vary in amount awarded, with the highest covering 100 percent of the cost of tuition, room and board and general expenses for four years. “We do believe that is a direct relationship because we’re able to actually put some type of incentive out there for those students with academically strong credentials,” he said. LARGE DECREASE IN TRANSFER STUDENTS The other main shift in the freshman class demographic is a substantial 11.3 percent drop in new transfer students. “The biggest culprit appears to be declining enrollment for the last four or five years at the community colleges,” said Dave Patton, interim associate vice president of enrollment management. “They’re our No. 1 source for transfer students, so if those are down, then we’re down.” The amount of people living in Michigan is decreasing, Johnson said, which potentially plays a role in the lower number of students transferring to CMU. “It is pretty dramatic how rapid the loss in community colleges has happened in four or five years,” Johnson said. “It’s almost scary.”

This year’s freshman class has 295 more minority students on campus than last year. The 10.8 percent increase in multicultural students is something Steven Johnson, associate vice president of Enrollment and Student Services, expects to continue. This year’s freshman class is 22 percent multicultural. In total, 5,398 minority students are enrolled at Central Michigan University. “Our current (freshman) class is 22 percent multicultural students,” Johnson said. “That’s the highest it’s ever been at CMU,” Johnson said. With a growing population of multicultural students, Shaun Holtgreive, executive director of student affairs, said it is even more important to offer resources for minority students to help them be successful and keep them at CMU until they graduate. “We have been a historically white campus, and we need to prepare to deal with changing demographics,” Holtgreive said. “Having the critical mass of students of color here does more to debunk myths and make it more welcoming for them than anything else we can do.” A new orientation program called “Impact” was implemented this year for multicultural and first generation students. The program helps acclimate students to campus and transition them successfully into college life. “Just like (Leadership) Safari, it helps students identify people outside of their class and outside of their residence hall that they could be friends with,” Holtgreive said. Impact lasted three days before Leadership Safari. Facilitators of the program were multicultural students and recent alumni. Afterward, participants were required to take part in Safari. “Current students (who volunteered at Impact) said how much they wished the program would have been at CMU when they were starting school,” Johnson said. As the demographics of the student body changes, Johnson said retention is a critical area the university has tried to improve upon for the last three years. “We really need to make sure we weren’t just bringing in a class and exhausting individuals and leaving them up to their own devices,” Johnson said. Impact has helped provide multicultural

students with more support at CMU, said D’Wayne Jenkins, assistant director of Multicultural Academic Student Services. “More multicultural students adds value to a learning environment,” Jenkins said. “People want to go where they feel included.” Jenkins said there are services and resources available for minority students through the MASS office and other departments on campus, but improvements can always be made. “(CMU’s student body) matching the diversity of the state of Michigan is important,” Jenkins said. “But so is keeping up with the diversity of America.”

Professor: First presidential debate unlikely to sway voters By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

The Internet and political forums are still buzzing about political waves caused Monday night at Hofstra University. Moderated by NBC Nightly News Anchor Lester Holt, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump threw verbal barbs at one another for nearly 100 minutes. Topics of the night ranged from foreign diplomacy to domestic police brutality, Clinton’s email scandal to Trump’s lack of releasing his tax forms. Nothing was safe from the scrutiny of the media — or the scrutiny of young voters. Tim Minotas, president of Central Michigan University College Democrats, hosted what he said was a “non-partisan debate watching party” Monday night in the basement of the Bovee University Center. Clinton was the “clear winner” of the debate, Minotas said, based solely on her ability to keep a cool composure and answer questions factually.

International students join fishing club for angling trip By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Jobin Varghese has never been fishing in his native country, but finally had the chance to do so and it was a moment he’ll never forget. The freshman from Pune, India joined the Central Michigan Bass Fishing Club for a competition that allowed international students to fish for the first time. Varghese said the event gave him a chance to escape reality for a little while. “I always wanted to go fishing but never got the opportunity,” he said. “It offered a break from my busy schedule. I felt really nice and peaceful by the end of it.” Foreign exchange students Terence Ng and Yong Jing Ng from Singapore, Asia were also in attendance for the bass fishing tournament at Lake Lancer in Gladwin on Sunday, Sept. 25. This was the second consecutive year the club has held the event. Each student caught a fish, with the biggest going to Varghese, who caught one that weighed

2.55 pounds. Jing Ng said he would cherish the moment of catching his first-ever fish. “The bass fishing tournament was a real eye opener for me as this is my first time taking a boat onto a lake and fishing,” he said. “It is a unique experience as these opportunities are hard to find in my country.” Brandon Carman, Bass Fishing Club president, helped put the event together. The tournament raised $300 for a profit after cost. “It was great. We were able to take students who had little or no experience fishing and every one of them caught a fish and had a great time,” Carman said. Marshall junior and club member John Doroshsaid sharing the experience and memories with foreign exchange and international students was a big part of the event. “It was really neat to have an opportunity to experience not only fishing, but being in the outdoors with someone who hasn’t had much of a chance to do so,” Dorosh said. “They will remember the sights they saw throughout the day, and not only the fish they caught, but also how fast the boat went.”

STUDENT STRUCK BY CAR ON EAST CAMPUS, CMUPD LOOKS FOR WITNESSES AT INCIDENT A male student was hospitalized Wednesday morning after being struck by a vehicle. He was walking west toward campus near Moore Hall at the time of the accident. Police have not released the student’s name or age. He is being treated for multiple injuries at McClaren Central Michigan. The driver, a female student, remained on the scene to speak with police. She later was released. CMU police said they are investigating the cause of the accident. Lt. Larry Klaus said police do not know how fast the woman was driving when she struck the male student. Klaus added that police do not know who was at

fault because there were few witnesses. “By state statute, if you’ve established yourself in the road at a crosswalk, you have the right of way,” he said. “But we ask all pedestrians to be conscious of where they are, to look and make sure there’s no traffic that’s coming through at their intersection or crosswalk.” Klaus reminded students and city residents to be cognizant of bicyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles while driving on or around campus. If anyone has information on the incident, Klaus said to call CMUPD at (989) 774-3081. - Jordyn Hermani, News Editor

STOPS ADDED TO I-RIDE ROUTE ON ELECTION DAY

(989) 317-0496 2157 S Mission St, Mt Pleasant

Two stops will be added to the I-Ride bus route on election day to make voting more accessible for Central Michigan University students who are registered to vote in Mount Pleasant. The stops will be added to the existing shuttle routes on Nov. 8. The Deerfield Route will add a stop at the corner of Broomfield and Crawford road, near Vowels Elementary School. The Maroon Route will add a stop in front of Fancher Elementary School, another

polling site. “This came out of the discussion of ways we could make it easier for students to get to the polls,” said Mayor Kathy Ling. Ling said students came to the city asking about the possibility of installing a polling place on campus to increase student voting. This option, Ling said, would confuse students who aren’t registered to vote in Mount Pleasant. “I’ve met several times with (students) on

campus to find ways to facilitate an increase in student voting,” Ling said. Vowels and Fancher elementary school are the two major polling places covering most students who live on or near campus, Ling said.

CMURC supplies business development tools to community By Mitchell Kukulka Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Since the Central Michigan University Research Corporation was developed in 1999, the organization had the goal of helping the community develop economic potential. The CMURC is the result of a statewide campaign by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation to create SmartZones, or areas designated to the pooling of ideas and business ventures to stimulate the local economy. CMURC President and CEO Erin Strang is well-aware of the service that SmartZones can offer to communities like Mount Pleasant. “The concept was to harness the intellectual capital of local students and faculty members in one spot, and connect them with their community and the business community to create an area and opportunity to create their own jobs and their own businesses,” she said. CMURC aims to live up to its tagline of “accelerating business” by offering a variety of tools and services for local entrepreneurs to nurture their creative projects throughout all stages of development. One of the organizational areas in the building

is the designated “co-work space.” This is a large, open room where people can come in Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to talk and collaborate with CMURC staff members and other entrepreneurs. They can visit designated stations where local professionals and experts on business development are available. Higher levels of membership can provide around the clock access to the work space. Deeper into the complex are additional work stations and meeting rooms for the more high-priority members of the organization, including a room called “The Vault” where individual work spaces can be rented for $250 per month for entrepreneurs who are further along in the development process of their ideas. The back of the building is the dedicated “wet labs” space, a highly-regulated work area mostly used by CMURC’s “anchor tenants,” or groups working full-time within the CMURC’s “business incubator” program. The wet lab area is also used by CMU faculty members on a regular basis, including members of the biology, chemistry and College of Medicine departments. One of the more recent and newsworthy projects to receive full “business incubator”

treatment was the development of high-tech football equipment by the company Your Future Sport. The company created a patented “High and Tight” football, which is made with software that gives audible feedback whenever the player carrying it uses improper technique. Bringing this technological football to life couldn’t have been done without the help of the CMURC, said Tom Creguer,

Your Future Sport CEO. “When I arrived at the CMURC, I thought I had a great direction and vision. (CMURC) took me and put me on the track of what an entrepreneur needs to do and how he needs to do it,” he said. “They took me from basically being an infant to being a person running towards the finish line. Now I have my product.” The CMURC regularly

provides space for local entrepreneurs to advertise and test out their projects. The most popular is the summer-long Food Truck Friday, which sees local food trucks and vendors compete and advertise in front of a large local audience. Jeff Dyer, owner of the food truck Chase’s Place, makes regular appearances at Food Truck Friday. Dyer had nearly 10 years of previous experience in the restaurant busi-

ness before starting the truck, which specializes in burgers. Dyer believes Food Truck Friday is a more convenient for customers and vendors than the restaurant setting because it allows for more eating options in a quicker fashion. “Food Truck Friday is great for the local customers because it brings such a variety of food,” he said. “We get more business when we come here because we’re more specialized.”

A new Central Michigan University sign sits among construction materials on Friday, Sept. 23, at the corner of S Mission Street and E Blue Grass Road.

New signs help ‘identify’ campus, construction still underway By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Central Michigan University’s Campus Identity Plan began in July with the demolition of its existing gateway signs on Mission Street. To create main gateways to campus, the construction of two brick and limestone structures on the corners of Mission Street, Bellows Street and West Campus Drive began Sept. 7 to create main gateways to campus. Steve Lawrence, associate vice president for Facilities Management, said the 60-feet long and

six-feet high signs are scheduled to be finished Sept. 30. The total cost of the gateway sign project is $550,000. “These impressive monuments have been designed to proudly display the university seal and will bookend the north and south ends of campus announcing arrival at CMU for travelers on Mission,” said Linda Slater, director of Plant Engineering and Planning. The Campus Identity Plan, directed by Slater, was developed in January 2014 through a series of charrettes involving students, faculty, staff and the Mount Pleasant community. A total of 200 signs will be

added to campus over the course of four years. “There will be new signage designs around campus, way-finding signs with maps, some signs with internal lighting and there’s even a landscaping plan that will determine the types of plants that will survive best in our weather conditions,” Lawrence said. In addition to the gateway signs, construction also began on new building identity signs and vehicular directional signs in various places around campus this Fall. Slater said locations for signage include but are not limited to areas around the new Biosciences

Building, the College of Medicine, the Health Professions building, the John G. Kulhavi Events Center and Warriner Hall. “The way-finding will make it easier for new students, faculty and staff, guests who attend special events, prospective students and families who visit all year long to know where they are going,” Slater said. Future improvements will include additional signage, a 21-foot-tall archway adjacent to Broomfield Road as a pedestrian entrance and the beautification of the green space between Warriner Hall and Bellows Street.

Distelrath leads Program Board as first executive director, discusses future events By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Angela Distelrath has always been interested in leadership. The reason she came to Central Michigan University was because of its leadership institute. Now the Plymouth junior has been tasked with leading Program Board. Distelrath joined Program Board as a freshman and served as secretary her sophomore year. Distelrath will spend this year as the first executive director in the organization’s history after Program Board decided to eliminate its traditional president and vice president roles. She began her duties last spring. Through only one month into the fall 2016 semester, Distelrath said she is pleased with the turnout of the events Program Board has put on, such as the Sept. 8 Back to School Comedy Jam. Central Michigan Life spoke with Distelrath to as-

sess her new role, the beginning of the semester and expectations for the upcoming year. What was it like being named the executive director? Having Kaylee (Bloom) being the past president and having her do such a phenomenal job really made me more comfortable to use her as a resource. After she left she told me ‘if you have any questions or you need anything, just give me a call and let me know.’ Having that security there and the support from all the other e-board (members), I felt like I was ready to start the year. Have you faced any challenges so far? Typically the vice president would run the member meetings and the president would run the e-board meetings. That’s become a new challenge with me — having to do both. We’ve kind of restructured it to where everybody kind of contributes what they want to see or what they want to say in the meetings. Just transitioning into that process has been a little bit of a challenge, but we’re a few weeks in now and we’re kind of getting the hang of things

as a collective e-board. Has Program Board finalized any plans for the rest of the semester? We’ve had to change some things. We were originally going to do a Friday movie for the football game, but we had to change that because we are showing (“Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” on Tuesday, Oct. 4 in the Bovee University Center Auditorium). We are bringing in (slam poet) Kit Yan in mid-October. Any other events we’re finalizing is just in the a fact of there is a lot of communication that happens with other organizations in making sure we contact the people and contracts. We’re all still in the finalizing stages (for events that are not on the fall lineup). Do you plan on having an event each day next week for Homecoming? We plan on participating in the events for homecoming because the Homecoming committee itself plans all the events out for us, but we hope to have a strong presence there and the events. It’s kind of taking a step back to participate in Homecoming, but also having that event on Tuesday and more coming up after. Homecoming is its own thing that we definitely participate in, but also do events that relate to Homecoming. You said you’re trying to plan a concert in the spring. Are your events going to be free for students? Is that something you are trying to push? That’s our goal — is to make it free or as affordable as possible for students. With bigger events, or any popular group or concert, the average price you pay is not ideal for college students. How do you feel like Program Board has changed from this year to last year? Do you see any differences? I definitely think it’s too early to tell. (Bloom) definitely did a phenomenal job. I definitely love that she was able to be that resource that everybody can go to for questions. That’s the goal that I can strive to be. What are your goals this year for Program Board? I really would love to be able to interact with all the different groups as part of the organization. I kind of want to make the e-board-tomember relations kind of apparent as well, so that I can make sure that everybody is feeling appreciated and is getting what they want out of this organization. (I also want to) expand social media platforms and get more followers and make more of an impact out there since that’s like the primary way to reach people.

Clinton tees up Trump during first presidential debate A clear winner emerged after the first of three live presidential debates, and that winner is Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. The majority of debate watchers agreed that Clinton decimated her Republican opponent Donald Trump as the two squared off Monday on live TV. The former Secretary of State, senator and First Lady ran circles around Trump on policy. She poked holes in his rhetoric and badly damaged a seemingly unsinkable ship within the first hour of the nearly two-hour forum. She looked confident and impenetrable next to Trump, who spent much of his time trying to keep his head above water. Much of Clinton’s success last night had to do with her experience and grasp of complex issues. She waded through a conversation on race without gaffe. Clinton was relatable, steadfast and, at times, vi-

Ben Solis Opinion Editor

brantly charismatic in the way she deflected Trump as the mogul called her character into question. But let’s not kid ourselves here — a meaningful share of my praise of Clinton’s performance is owed to Trump’s epic prime-time flop. To say Trump was unprepared is an insult to procrastination. Trump looked rattled, desperate, and combative. He fidgeted constantly, taking copious gulps of water between answers, hiding his face from the skeptical glare of more than 12 million viewers.

For the king of reality television, this was Trump’s grandest flop yet. Trump had months to at least get a working grasp of domestic and foreign policy. He didn’t need to study hard either. All he needed was a pass. Instead, Trump flunked out like a high school kid winging a book report worth one third of his final grade. He sauntered haphazardly around complex questions, fumbling his words and uttering incomplete sentences. It was like an aggressive one-man production of Trump’s greatest hits sizzle reel. On every attack, Clinton countered, pushing Trump on his heels for most of the evening. This was a chance for Trump to show he can have a substantive conversation about what’s plaguing America in the modern era. He had a clear shot to show the nation that he had more to offer than bluster, much like President Ronald

Reagan in his first debate against then-President Jimmy Carter. Unlike Reagan, Trump did very little to display any semblance of a potential president. His low jabs at Clinton never landed. His attempts to whittle away at her personally didn’t work, and the candidate was left on stage practically naked without an opponent to take his ever-tempting bait. Clinton took every hit with a searching, unfazed stare. It’s what you get when a presidential nominee spends the last few decades meticulously crafting and implementing a wholly unique approach to policy. Promoters hailed last night’s debate as the political heavyweight match of the century. What we witnessed was a professional pummeling a lower class amateur in a fight that referee Lester Holt should have stopped well before the final bell.

TECH THURSDAY

Portable battery packs: Companions you never knew you needed Have you ever spent a long time getting ready for a fun night out, only to realize just before leaving, your phone battery is at 15 percent? Battery drain is the most pressing usability issue with our favorite mobile devices. Until a more efficient solution is developed, students with tech like tablets and smart phones will want to invest in an important tool: Portable battery packs. These easily chargeable battery devices are imperative for students, especially freshmen. As a student and graphic designer, I’m constantly transporting my computer, mouse, books, and other technology. One thing I make sure to keep with me at all times is a portable battery. Whether I’m working, at school, on the road or at my own house, my portable battery has come to my aid at all the right times. Depending on your usage, there are three great options for Central Michigan University students

to choose from. For light mobile users, I recommend Anker’s Astro E1 5200 mAh battery. With an amplitude a little over 5 milliamps and a slim form factor, this pack is perfect for charging a phone once. Just don’t expect a second full charge. Despite these limitations, you’ll have a little charge left over from your first power up for other tech that needs an extra boost. This battery is small enough to grabbing on the way out the door, especially after forgetting to charge up the night

before. You can find it online for an average price of $14.99. For users with moderate energy needs, you can’t go wrong with a Kmashi 10,000 mAh battery. This is a pack I personally use every day, and it has yet to disappoint. Like a lot of students, I’m really rough on my electronics, so I need a portable battery that can take a beating. My Kmashi battery handles the wear and tear in stride, all while boosting my phone to full charge up to three times before the pack dies. From my own personal experience, this is a perfect option for students. It is priced online at $13.99. Heavy users running a lot of apps at one time are going to need a whopping 20,000 mAh. Luckily, Kmashi makes a fast-charge battery variant. It’s more expensive than the lighter Kmashi, but this behemoth battery pack touts Qualcomm quick charging. Quick chargers allow phones to charge

from 0 to 50 percent in around 30 minutes. Fast charging, coupled with an impressive supply of power, make this battery a worthwhile investment. The online price is $32.99. Remember, your phone can’t charge without a cord either. Instead of going into a retailer for a cheap one, you can have one delivered to your door if you purchase these packs through Amazon.com. For iPhone and Android users, look for the two pack of 2-in-1 braided cables from Cable Creation, priced at $9.99. In 2016, phone, tablet and home technology has consumers excited for improved performance. Still, issues like battery life keep some devices from reaching their full potential. Don’t let something like battery prevent you from chronicling that perfect night out on social media like Facebook or Snapchat. Get a portable battery pack to make those moments last.

COVER STORY SEPT. 29, 2016

LIGHTS, CAMERA, MACTION Chippewas open Mid-American Conference play against unbeaten WMU

By Andrew Surma Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

The first game between Central Michigan and Western Michigan was played in 1905 with a 6-0 Central win — according to CMU’s athletic department. Western Michigan has a different opinion about the rivalry’s beginnings. In Kalamazoo, the series began with a 29-0 Hilltoppers’ (WMU’s nickname until 1939) win

in 1907. WMU’s University Libraries Archives Curator John Winchell said WMU had a club team in 1905, but didn’t offer varsity football until 1906. Eleven decades, more than 3,350 combined points and 19 U.S. presidents later, a new chapter is being written in the rivalry’s history, as CMU and WMU play for the 111th time on Saturday. Having lost four of the last five matchups to the Broncos, the Chippewas enter Saturday’s game with a 3-1 record — one of the

“We understand the importance of the game. If we want to win the conference, have goals of winning the MAC West (Division), we have to beat Western.” JOHN BONAMEGO

CMU HEAD COACH

program’s best starts to a season in years. Despite CMU’s 49-35 loss to Virginia (1-3) last weekend, second-year head coach John Bonamego’s team has looked like Mid-American Conference Championship contenders at times during its nonconference schedule. Following the recent loss to UVA, senior quarterback Cooper Rush said the team’s goals are still attainable. “It’s the beginning of the (conference) season and (our goals) are still in front of us,” Rush said. “Any time you have the rival coming to your place, it’s going to be a huge game. We will bounce back. We have a strong team, strong leadership. Losses hurt, but just like a win you have to hang on and keep going. Knowing that it’s the Western game will make that easy.” Saturday is CMU’s first step toward a conference title. Standing in the Chippewas’ path is head coach P.J. Fleck’s 4-0 Broncos. Regarded as one of the hottest coaching commodities in college football, Fleck has 4-0

Western Michigan on the cusp of a national ranking in the Associated Press Top 25. The Broncos beat Georgia Southern 49-31 last weekend at Waldo Stadium and beat two Power 5 schools, Illinois and Northwestern, during nonconference play. Reigning MAC West Offensive Player of the Week, WMU quarterback Zach Terrell said the Bronco’s first four wins will be irrelevant once the lights come on and the game begins in Kelly/Shorts Stadium. “This game is no bigger and no smaller,” he said. “We are 0-0 in the CMU season and we are going to face an elite team on Saturday.” Acknowledging the necessity of beating Western in order to win a conference title, Bonamego said the rivalry game is more intense for him, having once played in it as a CMU walk-on in the mid-1980s. “Being a former player here, there’s definitely more intensity to it,” he said. “But I tell the team, ‘at the end of the season, it only counts as one game.’ We’ll prepare like we always do, but we understand the importance of the game. If we want to win the conference, have goals of winning the West (Division), we have to beat Western.” For former CMU head

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | SEPT. 29, 2016 coach Herb Deromedi, who was 13-2-1 against the Broncos, the CMU-WMU game exemplifies how powerful a college football rivalry can be. “A rivalry is when you know regardless of record, your opponent is going to come in ready to play a physical football game and you better feel the same way,” Deromedi said. “It’s a game in which tremendous competition is had between players who want it from both schools.” As Fleck said on Monday’s MAC Football Head Coaches Media Teleconference, “This rivalry was around way before P.J. Fleck could row the boat. It will be around way after P.J. Fleck can row the boat.” “(What’s) really special about (the rivalry) is the way both teams, universities, student bodies and both Chippewa nation and Bronco nation embraces the rivalry,” Fleck said. “And it’s always close. We seem to recruit a lot of the same area, a lot of the same kids and that’s why I think it’s always so close.” Winning the turnover margin battle and special teams, Fleck said, were keys to his team’s success.

linebacker Malik Fountain, who leads CMU with 26 tackles, said the key to stopping the Broncos’ MAC-best scoring offense is to simply play CMU’s game, not bend to Western’s game. “We just gotta ball,” he said. “If we play Chippewa defense, there’s no way they

are going to beat us. They can’t stop us. It’s going to be a sight to see.” There are 140 players from the state of Michigan on CMU’s and WMU’s combined rosters. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The game is being broadcast on CBS Sports Network. Austin Denean contributed to this story.

Despite increased public awareness, drinking and driving continues On average, two in three people will be involved in a drunk driving crash in their lifetime.

FACT:

Alcohol, drugs and driving simply do not go together. Driving requires a person’s attentiveness and the ability to make quick decisions on the road, to react to changes in the environment and execute specific, often difficult maneuvers behind the wheel. When drinking alcohol, using drugs, or being distracted for any reason, driving becomes dangerous – and potentially lethal! Alcohol is a depressant because it slows down the functions of the central nervous system. This means that normal brain function is delayed, and a person is unable to perform normally. Alcohol

Consuming alcohol prior to driving greatly increases the risk of car accidents, highway injuries, and vehicular deaths. The greater the amount of alcohol consumed, the more likely a person is to be involved in an accident.

GREG WICKLIFFE ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR

PRESEASON PICK: CMU

It will be a heavyweight bout Saturday in Mount Pleasant. The Broncos are firing on all cylinders, scoring on offense, defense and special teams, but the Chippewas will play inspired football in front of the largest crowd of the season in Kelly/Shorts Stadium. It’s a rivalry game — anything could happen. I’m standing behind my preseason pick. The boat rowers are due for a loss.

On Wednesday, the Chippewas practiced running over to the Victory Cannon in preperation of beating their rival Western Michigan. On Saturday, the Chippewas will hoist the trophy at the end of the game. The Chippewas were outplayed in their loss to Virginia last week, which will add fuel to their desire to knock off the Broncos. The Chippewas haven’t beaten Western Michigan since 2013, but on Saturday that will change.
