OPINION

In the Oct. 20 edition of Central Michigan Life, a story about the $10 million budget deficit was misleading. Lower-thanexpected online and satellite enrollment created about $5.6 million of the $10 million shortfall. It did not create the full $10 million deficit. The open budget forum is not meant to create an entire plan to address the deficit, but the budget will be discussed at the forum. Information on the budget deficit was reported on in an Our CMU story, not a press release.

Alcohol related disciplinary action up 64 percent in year By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

Disciplinary action for on-campus drug and alcohol related offenses rose sharply between 2014 and 2015 according to the Annual Security and Fire Safety Report. Liquor law violations on-campus referred for disciplinary action rose from 473 to 776, or 64 percent, and drug law violations referred for disciplinary action rose by 17 percent — from 125 to 147. Tom Idema, director of Student Conduct, said there could be myriad reasons for the increase. “It could be an increase in the number of students living in the halls from one year to the next, if you have more people you’re more likely to have more violations,” Idema said. “Or it could be that staffers come across more situations than the previous year. It’s really hard to put an actual answer as to why the increase, because it could be staff (related) or student related.” The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report is released each year to notify students on campus of the different offenses committed on university grounds. All universities that receive federal funding are required to release these numbers. Failure to do so can result in fines of $35,000 per violation. The drug and alcohol disciplinary action categories weren’t the only ones that saw changes in numbers. From 2014 to 2015, the number of reported oncampus rapes decreased from nine to four. Liquor law arrests decreased from 136 to 53, with drug law arrests increasing from 36 to 40. Reported instances of stalking also increased from six to 10 from 2014 to 2015. Idema defined the differences between a liquor law arrest and disciplinary action stemming from a liquor law violation in terms of whether police had to get involved. “A lot of time when it’s alcohol (related instances), police aren’t going to come, as long as everyone is cooperative with (residence hall) staff,” Idema said. “If you’re not going to be cooperative with staff, then the resident assistant is going to get the hall director involved and they’ll call CMUPD. Then a student is putting themselves at risk for an MIP. It’s always a lot better to be dealt with by the hall staff and student conduct than it is with law enforcement.” The severity of punishment a student receives when referred to the Office of Student Conduct is on a sliding scale, Idema said. Typically, for a first time offense, students will

be fined $215, have a letter sent home and be required to take an online alcohol education course which takes about two hours to complete. Through this, Idema said many students who find themselves in his office are “one time offenders.”

OTHER REPORTED OFFENSES Outside of alcohol related offenses, aggravated assault rose from none to one recorded instance in the past year. Reported burglary offenses increased from five to six. Some numbers recorded were outliers. Fondling increased from four to 21, but the offenses were carried out by three people — 15 instances coming from one man who was apprehended for groping women as he rode a bicycle around campus. Lt. Cameron Wassman of the Central Michigan University Police Department said the numbers overall in the report look fairly similar to what the department expected. “I wouldn’t say any (numbers) are necessarily way up or way down from where they usually are,” he said. “Is there one good reason why these numbers change (from year to year)? Probably not.” Wassman drew attention to several categories which had large jumps in reported offense. He said the change could be in relation to students being more educated about what constitutes criminal behavior. “Look at stalking for example — is it that more instances of stalking are happening? I don’t know,” he said. “I think people are becoming more and more aware of ‘hey wait a minute, this kind of behavior is not OK,’ and they’ll report it. So that might show in those (big) increases.” Despite the increases in several categories, many categories saw declines in reported instances. Domestic violence dropped from four to two, arson related incidents from one to zero and robbery from two to zero. There were also three reported instances of dating violence, the same number between 2014 and 2015. Wassman defined the difference between dating and domestic violence in regards to whether or not those involved in the act were romantically involved. Domestic violence can involve not just boyfriends, girlfriends or spouses, but roommates too if the offender lives in an apartment or residence hall, Wassman said. The categories of murder, manslaughter by negligence, incest, statutory rape, weapons law arrests and weapons law violations referred for disciplinary action remained at zero reported offenses.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE WINS FOURTH CONSECUTIVE PACEMAKER AWARD Central Michigan Life received Pacemaker Award from the Associated Collegiate Press on Saturday night. This is the fourth year in a row the student-run media company has won the award for its print edition. “I am extremely proud of the talented young staff who worked so hard to continue CM Life’s record of success,” said Malachi Barrett, former editor-inchief of CM Life. “The most rewarding part of the 2015-16 year was watching (the staff) grow and become more confident, to the point that they will continue to teach the next generation after our seniors left. Each year we stand on the shoulders of the people who came before us, so I’m happy that my staff could honor their legacy as well.” Barrett served as EIC from Fall 2015 to Spring 2016. Five issues of CM Life were submitted to the contest to judge the quality and content of the paper which ranged

from sports coverage on concussions to budget reports of the university. Pacemakers are awarded to several different types of news publications, including online newspapers, print newspapers, yearbooks, magazines and broadcast stations. Entries are judged by teams of professionals based on coverage and content, quality of writing and reporting, leadership, design, photography and graphics, according to the Associated Collegiate Press’s website. “This job can often burn people out, so I want to thank (the staff) for trusting (Managing Editor) Sydney (Smith) and me,” Barrett said. “Pretty much every position returned in the spring. I am deeply indebted to them for staying with us for a full year.” This will be the 15th year CM Life has won a Pacemaker Award. - Jordyn Hermani, News Editor

EDITORIAL

The choice is clear: Clinton best qualified to be next president and social justice for women in the U.S. and abroad shows her level of compassion for all people, including Americans living in poverty, or those barely scraping by. The Democratic platform calls for a stronger middle class, a renewable energy sector for a stronger economy, and eliminating loopholes that keep this nation’s wealth at the Top 1 percent of income earners. It calls for the protection of women’s health care through an overhaul of the existing Affordable Care Act. While Clinton did not conceive of this platform on her own, she is the only candidate running for president who understands the complex mechanics of turning such a platform into working policy. Standing up for these values in an age of widespread ignorance will not be easy. There will be gridlock from bulwark members of the GOP and her own party. Her first job in the White House will be to convince the American people that she is smart enough and tough enough to navigate opposition in Congress. She’s proven to be adept in the art of compromise over her 30-year career. She’s a deal maker. No other candidate for office in the history of the presidency is as prepared or as qualified as Clinton.

That’s not to say she doesn’t have her baggage. Clinton’s tenure as a U.S. senator and Secretary of State has its fair share of blemishes. At least half of the country believes Clinton cannot be trusted, including many students at Central Michigan University. Her handling of classified information and kinship with Wall Street executives are major concerns for Millennial voters. Some CMU students may not vote for her based on those considerations. We believe the choice is clear. The Republican nominee is wholly unfit to be president. He lacks the necessary temperament and knowledge of world affairs – things required of a sitting senator, let alone the President of the United States of America. Clinton is reasonable, intelligent and most of all attentive to the needs of every American. She has a history of learning on the fly and adapting in a way that is advantageous for her. Now it’s time for those skills to be advantageous for all of us. As we move into the next chapter of our new American century, we must elect a president with a surgical approach to policy and diplomacy. Someone like Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Rich Drummond | Assistant Photo Editor

The challenges facing our voters in their early 20s are complex. We know the effects of global climate change are real. We understand the threat of international terrorism and the potential for war with emboldened adversaries. At home, we have seen rampant inequality in the workplace, our criminal justice system and among people of different faiths, gender identities and racial backgrounds. We must elect a person who understands the gravity of those challenges. America’s next Commander in Chief must understand nuance and the value of a steady hand. That’s why we believe Hillary Rodham Clinton has earned your vote. We are not telling you who to vote for, or how to vote – that’s your personal choice. But we do ask you to vote in this election. What we have done is judge the candidates on issues affecting university students. Issues like the economy, the environment, social concerns and health care. In our view, Clinton and the Democrats have proven they are willing to tackle these myriad issues. They are vowing to protect the environment, to reduce student debt, and to create new areas of employment offering higher wages and equal pay for both sexes. Her commitment to education, healthcare

quences of electing a president like Hillary Rodham Clinton than deal with the potential damage caused by her opponent. Our mission as student media is to keep students as informed about the political process as possible. Please consider using this endorsement as part of your decision making process. Despite whatever information we present, we understand that casting a ballot is a personal and highly private decision. The American people have tested those virtues in some way or another by choosing to support one of the major party candidates, and again, so have we as the staff of Central Michigan Life.

Newspapers have a long history of recommending candidates for office: Here’s why As we announce our endorsement for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in today’s edition, we understand that some readers will disagree with the decision or disagree with the concept of an endorsement. Since the foundation of newspapering in this country, the opinion section has a long history of keeping media companies relevant and viable. But it is a separate part of the newsroom that makes decisions about news coverage.

Many of us on staff feel that the opinion section is the most important newspaper innovation of the 20th Century. It allows staffers to share their opinions without tainting the integrity of our news content. It is not uncommon or unethical then for a newspaper as a whole to take stances in an editorial or endorse a candidate for office. An editorial is opinion writing, and there is a key difference between news reporting and opinion writing.

A reporter seeks the truth and relays that information in print, online, and through multimedia like video, photos and podcasts. An opinion writer uses that same process, and sometimes uses the information gathered by reporters, and comes to an opinion based on that information. They are different jobs within the same organization. Each week, Central Michigan Life editorial staffers meet to discuss what issues or pieces of reported news

deserve a response from the editorial board. The same process went into our endorsement for president. We gathered information from various sources about the candidates and their proposed policies. We reflected on our coverage of campaign stops. We kept college students and the issues affecting them most in mind when examining that information. Not all of our staff members were on board with endorsing Clinton. Members of the Central

Michigan Life advertising, public relations and social media departments all had some say and offered input into our endorsement of Clinton. We share some of their concerns in the endorsement. We have an obligation to make our readership understand that our choice carries a unique set of personal, political and occupational flaws. Compared to the other options, we would much rather deal with the conse-

Clinton should have been disqualified over emails a long time ago According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 110 of out of 3,000 emails sent on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s homebrew email server were marked confidential after they were sent. Then, the FBI found another 2,000 emails marked as confidential after being sent. This means that 7 percent of those messages were mishandled by people at the very top of government. It is an alarming amount of mishandled information, and still Clinton, walked away from those accusations without repercussion. One of the highlights of

Ryan Cameron Columnist

the 2016 presidential race was watching Clinton and the scandal revolving around her deleted emails. At the expense of beating a dead horse, I’d like to say that this position is not pro-Donald Trump. This is the opinion of an unbiased journalist and a concerned American. These concerns may or may

not disqualify Clinton from holding the highest political office, but the FBI missed an opportunity to hold her accountable with a warranted indictment. “Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both,” reads Section 2071 of U.S. Code Title 18. “(A public official) shall forfeit his

office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States.” When Clinton turned over the 30,000 emails from time as secretary of state, she also admitted that she and her aides deleted around 32,000 others. On one level, this is concerning because there are parts of her tenure that she does not want us to know about. These could be blemishes that would affect an otherwise wellestablished career, but it makes you wonder if there is anything against this by law. Under Section 2071, there is.

The most alarming revelation was that she sent 22 emails that were deemed “Top Secret” and that the State Department will not release them. Sending that many high-priority messages over a personal email server is what worries me about Clinton as a liability to national security. Admitting to deleting those emails should have ended her bid for the presidency. Many of Clinton’s supporters claim that since the U.S. Constitution does not say anything about classified information, the statute cannot eliminate her from running. While this is true,

this circumstance could serve as a reason to amend to our Constitution.

Sharing struggles

to help others heal Mental health a pivotal aspect of campus life By Kate Carlson Managing Editor news@cm-life.com

A shift in lighting. The sound of a man’s voice. It’s often small changes in sensory detail that trigger Jennifer Eskridge’s post-traumatic stress disorder. It’s those sensory cues that transport her back to her 2014 kidnapping and sexual assault in Saginaw during a night out with friends. Now a senior, Eskridge shares her story with “anyone who will care to listen.” The Lapeer senior feels lucky to have found a support group that she says made it possible for her to graduate in May 2017. Without finding support in her friends, family, and Central Michigan University’s Counseling Center, she isn’t sure she would ever have been able to continue her classes. The man who assaulted her was quickly arrested and charged by police, but her recovery was a more complicated process than she imagined. She attempted to keep attending her classes that semester, but found it was impossible because of how she was triggered by anything similar to the scene of her kidnapping and sexual assault. “Instead of having control over what I think and feel, I would smell something and it would instantly bring me back,” Eskridge said. “I couldn’t tell you what the smell was and couldn’t tell you why, but for the first couple months it was hard because I didn’t remember everything. I would have a trigger and I would remember something new. According to the Mayo Foundation for Education and Research, PTSD is a mental health condition triggered by experiencing or witnessing a terrifying event. Symptoms could include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as

uncontrollable thoughts about the event. When Eskridge re-enrolled at CMU, she introduced herself to all of her professors by confiding in them about her situation and how certain topics might trigger her if brought up in class. Eskridge also made an appointment at the Counseling Center about a month after her assault in October. She’s had the same counselor for the last two years. “I honestly don’t think I would have come back to school without those people,” she said. “CMU has always been 100 percent understanding that life happens but college needs to be finished. They gave me every tool to finish.”

ON-CAMPUS RESOURCES Use of Central Michigan University’s on-campus Counseling Center increased slightly from last year even though enrollment declined. That’s not unique to CMU, however. A 2014-2015 survey by the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors found that 73.1 percent of counseling center directors reported an increase in the severity of student mental

waitlist. This number is much lower than data collected from the same week last semester of 77 students on the waitlist, even though usage is comparable to last year. “Students are entering college with increasingly more mental health concerns,” said Tony Voisin, associate vice president of student affairs. Rapaport said the main thing the Counseling Center provides is a warm and welcoming environment for struggling students. The record for the most attended appointments in a week was set during the week of Oct. 3 with 187 attended appointments. “By an appointment or two, that’s the busiest we’ve ever been,” Rapaport said. “It’s not a huge (increase), but it just shows that things are continuing even though enrollment is down a little bit.” There are about 10 counselors on staff that work with students. He is requesting funding to hire another counselor and an additional office professional. Rapaport acknowledges there are many other competing demands seeking those university dollars. “I do have requests for additional staff, but we’re always competing with other offices and it’s a tight budget,” Rapaport said.

NO LONGER STRUGGLING IN SILENCE Soft-spoken and friendly, you wouldn’t know that Christopher Overby has any additional concerns than his classmates. Unlike the students who sit next to him in class or chat with him in the hallway of Moore Hall, Overby must rely on being able to work closely with professors because his schizophrenia symptoms can affect his academic performance. “I explain my situation because in most cases professors

haven’t dealt with (a student with schizophrenia) before,” said the junior from Roseville. “So it will be a learning experience for both of us to try to figure out how we can work together to make sure I get the best grades possible without having to drop the class or anything.” Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder where people interpret reality abnormally, according to the Mayo Foundation for Education and Research. Symptoms could include hallucinations, delusions and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, which can be disabling. People with Schizophrenia usually don’t know they have it and perceive hallucinations as reality, but Overby said he is able to differentiate the two. Last year, Overby had to get an extension on a paper when his professor told him the assignment he submitted was “complete gibberish.” Some days Overby experiences about two to three visual or audible hallucinations a day. Other days it could be more constant throughout the day, but it increases when his workload in school and overall stress level is high. “I understand every college student has a hard time trying to find motivation to do homework, but on a daily basis I find it extremely hard to find motivation for certain things,” Overby said. Overby’s hallucinations are audible and visual and usually involve him seeing family members or loved ones. A broadcast major, he had to drop an audio tech class because his audible hallucinations made it too hard for him to do the assignments. “I’ve had it before where I hear a professor’s voice and I look up and the professor was saying something different or just not w COUNSELING | 12

talking at all,” Overby said. In their experience of being transparent about their mental illness with professors, Overby and Eskridge have both had mostly positive experiences of support from professors, faculty and staff at CMU. But some parts of Overby’s psychosis hinder him no matter how understanding people in his life are. “Telling people could have certain side effects on me, so it’s really hard when I have to tell four to five professors in one week,” Overby said. “I just kind of hope for the best situation.” Even when the Counseling Center has a waiting list, students can still get receive same day counseling services in emergency situations. Students with mental health issues need to know they’re not alone, Rapaport said. “Seeking help is not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength,” he said.

group of CMU staff and faculty from offices across campus review the reports from 8 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The team decides the best person from the team to reach out to the student and asks them if they need support or connection to services. If the students say yes, a CARE team member will sit down with them and connect them to resources. If a student says no, the team will back off unless there is suggestion of an imminent threat to their safety. The amount of reports has increased, said Deanna Johnson, coordinator of the CARE Team. “We’re making efforts like the CARE Team recognizing there’s a need, but we have to get better at recognizing the array of resources that are already available,” Johnson said.

COLLEGE OF MEDICINE MAKES ADMISSIONS AGREEMENT WITH SAGINAW VALLEY STATE

Mary Lewandowski | Staff Photographer Isabella County Clerk candidate Chelsea Plevinski, left, and incumbent Isabella County Clerk Minde Lux, right, participate in a debate on Oct. 20 hosted by the Mount Pleasant League of Women Voters in the City Commission Chambers of the Mount Pleasant City Building.

County Clerk candidates stress importance of voting By Jordyn Hermani News Editor news@cm-life.com

Republican Minde Lux and Democrat Chelsea Plevinski want Mount Pleasant residents to get out and vote — and not just because they’re running for Isabella County Clerk. The two candidates spoke at length in front of about 50 people concerning the importance of voter registration, gun control and marriage equality during the County Clerk debate Thursday night in the Mount Pleasant City Building. The event was hosted by the Mount Pleasant League of Women Voters. The role of the county clerk involves filling out birth, death and marriage certificates along with other vital documents necessary for maintaining the city of Mount Pleasant. Residents of Isabella County can vote for one of these two candidates on Nov. 8.

MINDE LUX Lux, the incumbent county clerk, has been an employee of the county for the past 19 years, four of which have been as county clerk. A graduate of Mid Michigan Community College, Lux has been a resident of Isabella County for 42 years. “(In) the four years I’ve been county clerk, I’ve accomplished a lot,” she said. “We have a great

team of employees at the county clerk’s office.” Lux said one of her greatest accomplishments during her tenure was a project involving scanning historical documents and electronically saving them in case of a fire. Should she be elected again, Lux said she will continue to lead a non-partisan office. “Politics doesn’t play a role in the office at all,” Lux said. “Once you walk into the county clerk’s office, it is very non-political.” On the topic of same-sex marriage, Lux said she was one of the first county clerks in the state who officiated same-sex marriages 2015 after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalized the unions. Lux stressed that her job is done to the best of her ability, regardless of personal beliefs or biases. Throughout the night, she and her opponent agreed on issues such as marriage equality and property taxes. When a question was raised regarding how Lux felt about the state abolishing gun boards, she was quick to answer. “(The Michigan government) gave a lot of work to the county clerk and employees,” Lux said. “What it does is allows some people to slip through the system. (Applications for concealed carry) are not secure enough as it used to be when we did have a gun board.”

CHELSEA PLEVINSKI Plevinski, a Central Michigan University alum-

Thanks to a new partnership, students from Saginaw Valley State University applying to Central Michigan University’s College of Medicine will be able to apply a year early. The agreement will streamline the application process for pre-med SVSU students. Applications will be accepted earlier, fees will be reduced and SVSU will be able to choose the top three prospective students from their college to recommend be accepted to CMED.

Early applications will be accepted in May of 2017 and students accepted will start in August of 2018. It’s not a guaranteed that CMED will accept the students, said Director of CMED Admissions Chris Austin. The program is designed to take stress off SVSU students and allow CMED admissions to identify qualified applicants. “We’re just trying to be strategic with who we partner with and Saginaw Valley makes a lot of sense because the other part

of our med school is in Saginaw,” Austin said. Austin said there’s a possibility of developing similar programs with universities that fit with CMED’s mission to server rural and underserved communities. “It would make sense in the future to talk to the universities in the Upper Peninsula, but this isn’t something that we’re interested just doing (with) do them,” Austin said. - Greg Horner, Staff Reporter

COUNTY CLERK CANDIDATE

na, is an outreach coordinator with Mid Michigan Community Action. She was also a graduate assistant with the university from August 2013 to May 2015, coordinating the Poverty Simulation, teaching classes and publishing work. Her focus, if elected, is voter education and participation. “We need to get people to get out there to vote and part of the (county clerk) position would be about voting education,” Plevinski said. “I intend to do outreach in the community to educate voters and get them to (become) involved more.” Working closely with the university, Plevinski said she believes students within the community receive an unfair amount of complaints based on their activities. “(Students) do make up the heart of this community, and they make up so much of it,” Plevinski said. “They bring so much income and revenue. Their voice is just as important as every-

one else in the community.” Plevinski said she would also like to look into the purchasing of a fireproof safe, to safeguard city documents which cannot be electronically backed up. When asked what her stance was on the gay marriage federal law being overturned, Plevinski said she was for equal rights. “I am of the opinion that you should be able to marry whomever you wish to marry,” she said. “If that is the law, then that is the law. That is what I’m willing to uphold.” Should she be elected, Plevinski said the major challenge facing the county clerk’s office would concern voting. “Retaining integrity and borders of Isabella County voters, improving access to voting for all residents and protecting all citizens rights to participate in the legislative process (are imperative),” she said. Plevinski has never held a county clerk position.

Student makes history, interns at Freedom House By Micayla Glennie Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

When she first decided to study abroad, Mount Pleasant senior Jami Watson had no idea she would make history. Watson is the first student from Central Michigan University to complete an internship at Freedom House, an organization that conducts research and advocacy relating to human rights. As a French major with a political science minor, Watson wanted to be able to apply what she was learning in the classroom abroad. While she was first interested in the internship for the language experience, she ended up loving the connections she made with people. What was it like working at Freedom House? WATSON: In the summer of 2016 I worked at Freedom House, which is a place where refugees can live for up to 24 months while they try to become American citizens. I was a communications intern, so I did things such as drive people places, answer the phone and door, take notes in meetings, translations and projects (for the organization). I loved it because, by working with a lot of people from Africa, I learned a lot about African culture. I also made a lot of connections. It really helped me relate to those people because of the French I could speak. Why did you want to work with Freedom House? I wanted to connect with people on it. I wanted to work for a non-profit or the government, but my options were limited. The idea was mentioned by my professors, then I did research, went through the application process, was interviewed, and then was picked for the internship.

Courtsey Photo Mount Pleasant senior Jami Watson poses for a photo as she visits Château de Brissac last summer when she interned abroad with Freedom House.

What did you learn while working there? (I learned about) the idea of diversity and how we perceive privilege. Also, how within service you can help other people and how language has an effect on it. I learned how to use language for the better to connect with people better. For the most part, a lot of service people do is abroad, and although it’s good, people (in America) need help too. We are able to connect to people at a global standpoint while being in our own backyard. I also learned to be more confident, and how to reach out to organizations because it really does open a lot of possibilities. What should other students who are interested know about Freedom House? Freedom House is the only organization in the United States that does what they do, because it’s based off of people seeking asylum through legal help.

Ahead of opener next month, men showcase new talent By Kullen Logsdon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Following a 62-59 loss in the first round of the MAC tournament in March, the Central Michigan men’s basketball team return to the court this season without former captains Chris Fowler, John Simons and Rayshawn Simmons. The Chippewas open their season with an exhibition game against Slippery Rock on Nov. 5 and begin the regular season on Nov. 11 against Indiana University of Kokomo. Both games will be at McGuirk Arena. “It’s an exciting team to be able to coach,” said head coach Keno Davis. “Each day we come back we see something new. If we stay healthy, (this season) we know we can compete with any team in the conference.” Prior to the start of its season, CMU began the first part of its 2016-17 journey on Sunday night with its annual preseason maroon and gold scrimmage at McGuirk Arena. The annual scrimmage the teams’ projected starting players on the maroon side against backup players on the gold team. The maroon side held a commanding 8151 lead with 10 minutes left in the second half. Davis called the game early.

After sitting out all of last season due to transfer rules, junior guard Marcus Keene made his debut for the Chippewas during the scrimmage. The Youngstown State transfer will be asked to fill the void left by Fowler. During the scrimmage, Keene showcased his ability to created scoring opportunities as well as his ability to shoot the ball by hitting a couple of 3-pointers. He also earned cheers from the crowd after a steal and score off of an in-bounds pass. Sophomores Hunter Hale and Corey Redman played with energy on the gold team and appeared to be candidates for get minutes off the bench. Senior guard Braylon Rayson returns as the team’s leading scorer after averaging 16. 3 points per game last season. Rayson also led the team in 3-point shooting percentage at 38-percent. Junior guard Josh Kozinski was a key perimeter threat last season shooting 36-percent from the 3-point line. During the scrimmage, he went 4-of-6 six from downtown and kept the gold team locking in on him every time he was around the ball. The two will enter the season as veteran leaders who will be called upon to play significant roles this season with the departures of Fowler and Simmons.

Women’s basketball seeks return to MAC Championship By Greg Wickliffe Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

Aubry Healy | Staff Photographer Members of the women’s basketball team pose for a photo during Media Day on Oct. 20 at McGuirk Arena.

All head coach Sue Guevara and the Central Michigan women’s basketball team could think about during the summer was the 3.4 seconds of the Mid-American Conference tournament. The Chippewas fell to Buffalo 73-71 in the MAC championship game last March on a buzzer-beating layup. CMU had 3.4 seconds to defend the Bulls, but were unable to and saw their NCAA tournament hopes disappear. Now the Chippewas return with a familiar cast to make it back to the conference title game. “I like this team, I love coming into practice,” Guevara said. “Last year we had a lot of inexperienced depth. Well this year, a lot of that inexperience is experience.”

The Chippewas return second team AllMAC selections Tinara Moore and Presley Hudson, as well as MAC Co-Sixth Player of the Year in senior Jewel Cotton. CMU opens the season with a test on the road against Notre Dame, who finished last season ranked No. 2 in the country. The Chippewas fell to the Fighting Irish 106-72 the last time the two teams squared off in 2013. Guevara said the team will use the final play in last season’s MAC championship game as fuel for the 2016-17 campaign. “We have to get better defensively,” she said. “They understand 3.4 seconds. We lost the championship with 3.4 seconds because we didn’t get a stop and our players have made a committed effort to that side of the ball.” CMU plays Notre Dame on Friday, Nov. 11 at 7 p.m. at Edmund P. Joyce Center.

Central likely out of MAC West race after loss to Toledo By Greg Wickliffe Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com

With Mid-American Conference championship hopes all but gone, the Central Michigan football team is now focusing on a new goal to define its season. The Chippewas entered Saturday’s game against Toledo hoping to stay in the MAC West Division race, but fell to the Rockets 31-17 on the road. The Chippewas fell behind in the second half in large part due to a four-touchdown performance by Toledo’s junior receiver Cody Thompson. Thompson hauled in two touchdown catches in the third quarter and put the game out of reach with two more in the fourth. The loss was the seventh consecutive defeat at the hands of UT for the Chippewas, and likely ended CMU’s quest for an appearance in the MAC Championship. “This one definitely hurts,” said senior quarterback Cooper Rush. “It’ll hurt for about 24 hours. We can still win a lot of ball games this season. We can get to nine, 10 wins — a team hasn’t done that here in a while.” With the Rockets and West-

ern Michigan each remaining undefeated in the MAC West, the Chippewas would need to win the rest of their games and see both teams lose three times in the next month. Although the Chippewas are still mathematically in the hunt, head coach John Bonamego said he knows the odds are not in his team’s favor. “Mathematically, representing the West, there’s still a chance,” he said. “But realistically, that’s probably not going to materialize.” Bonamego said he’ll be keeping a close eye on how his team responds for the rest of the season. “When you get to this point in the season as a head coach, you start looking at everybody,” he said. “I want to see how they react. I want to see who’s really in and who’s committed and who’s not. I want to see who’s going to continue to come and prepare and work hard.” CMU sits at 5-3 overall and 2-2 in the MAC. The Chippewas can become bowl eligible with a victory against Kent State Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. “There’s still things we can do,” Bonamego said. “We’ve got five wins and four (games) left. Hopefully we can get

into a good bowl game. We can still have an eight, nine, 10-win season. There’s a lot to play for still.” Following the defeat, Bonamego made a plea to his team.

“I just challenged (the team) to play out the rest of the regular season for these seniors,” he said. “We owe an awful lot to them.” Rush said responding to the challenge from Bonamego won’t be difficult. “Luckily we have a good group of guys that can stick together,” he said. “We have a lot of guys that respect the seniors and will keep playing hard for them and coach. It’s a group of guys that’ll want to get back to work and get this taste out of our mouths.” Regardless of where the team finishes in the conference, Bonamego said he cares more about the resiliency his team shows for the remaining four regular season games. “This is where you find out
