Police still searching for driver who killed freshman last fall By Dominick Mastrangelo Editor-in-Chief editor@cm-life.com
Nearly one year ago today, Ryan Tsatsos, a Central Michigan University freshman was walking home when he wasstruck and killed by a vehicle traveling north on Crawford Road. His killer remains at large. “We have no suspect at this time,” said Detective Sgt. Jeff Hunger of the Michigan State Police. “We have followed up on numerous leads. We have no new information that would change the initial description (of the car) that was released.” Police say the vehicle was a dark-colored four door car and likely has damage to the front passenger side. The
car was traveling north on Crawford Road when it struck Tsatsos, who was walking to his on-campus residence hall after attending a Halloween party. In the weeks following the incident, an anonymous tip line was established to help investigators. In April, Tsatsos’ parents, Julie and Paul, held a press conference in conjunction with Crime stoppers offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Since April, Hunger said MSP has received more than 70 tips about the case. “We’ve followed up on everything,” he said. “There are still some investigative avenues we are exploring. But nothing has led to a suspect at this point.” Meanwhile, Paul and Julie
are doing all they can to cope with the frustration of their son’s killer escaping justice. “That person might think he or she is getting away with it, but they are not,” Paul said. “If they are not feeling any guilt, then I am quite certain there is special place in hell for them.” The fall months have become difficult for the Tsatsos’ to bear. Halloween decorations in department stores and in front of neighboring houses bring back painful memories. “The past few weeks have not been easy,” Julie said. “I can’t go to the store because I see the Halloween stuff. I don’t go (out) that much anymore.” Julie is an elementary school teacher who has been

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS
RANZENBERGER WAIVES RIGHT TO PRELIMINARY EXAM Former Central Michigan University faculty member Mark Ranzenberger waived a preliminary examination hearing on Oct. 28, on charges of sexually abusing a minor. Ranzenberger waived the hearing to determine if there was probable cause to bring a trial. The case will proceed to trial. A date has not been set for Ranzenberger’s next court appearance. Ranzenberger is facing four charges of first degree criminal sexual conduct involving a minor. Michigan State Police investigated the charges on behalf of
the U.S. Secret Service. The U.S. Secret Service was investigating Ranzenberger for charges of possession of child pornography at the time. Ranzenberger pleaded guilty to the possession charges on Sept. 27. During his plea in federal court he also admitted to sexually abusing a minor several times between 1995 and 2002. Representing Ranzenberger is courtappointed lawyer William Shirley. His case is being overseen by Isabella County Trial Court Judge Eric Janes.
The accusations first came to light when a CMU student reported Ranzenberger had inadvertently shown pornographic images on a projector to a class. CMU Police conducted a search warrant on his office and found his work computer and other digital media held several images of child pornography. Ranzenberger was a professor at CMU since 1999 and a member of the Mount Pleasant City Planning Commission. - Johnathan Hogan, Staff Reporter

City officials seek input on making Crawford Road safer By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
It’s been one year since Macomb freshman Ryan Tsatsos was killed in an unsolved hit-andrun incident on Crawford Road, southwest of Central Michigan University’s campus. Since then, members of the Mount Pleasant city government have been working to make sure something like this doesn’t happen again. This past spring, Union Township Supervisor Russ Alwood called for a meeting of local officials to discuss the possibility of installing a sidewalk along Crawford Road for safety. After the group got an estimate of $840,000 for constructing a sidewalk with lights, they came up with two different options. Sidewalk could be installed along Crawford Road without lights for $460,000, or a different route could be paved east of there. This alternate route would build off an existing pathway, have lights and require less sidewalk. This makes the route more cost-effective, in addition to being lit. Mount Pleasant City Manager Nancy Ridley said the city commission wants input from student leaders on which route they prefer and why before making a decision on the path to pave. “If we are going to put money into making this safer, we want to make sure that it’s a route students will feel comfortable using,” she said. “It wouldn’t make sense to put in an unlit sidewalk and find out students won’t walk along there because they don’t feel safe.” The group has to decide which route to pave before they can apply for grants. Any grants received for a Crawford Road route cannot be switched over to the other project if they do not raise the full amount. Ridley said safety “always has to win,” but the city also has to be able to afford it. “If we can find a way to work together to increase safety, where is the best place to put the money?” she said. “I’m not sure we will get a definitive answer (from students), but it seems like we should attempt to get input before we decide.” Mount Clemens junior Amanda Blok lives in WestPoint Village, an apartment complex along Crawford Road. She said she always sees people walking to class along Crawford, and is nervous when it gets dark and students are close to the road. She prefers the lighted path, however, as “(not having) light is (her) biggest problem” with the Crawford Road route. Blok doesn’t think a sidewalk along Crawford will be as effective if there aren’t lights. Kevin Troshak, another resident at WestPoint Village, said he prefers to have sidewalk along Crawford Road. The Howell senior walks along
it every day to get to his classes at Finch Fieldhouse. “I don’t necessarily feel unsafe using (Crawford Road). I usually walk pretty far off from the road,” he said. “Crossing (Broomfield) kind of sucks, (and) I tried running one time (along the southern part of Crawford) and that was pretty terrifying. I don’t do that anymore.” The group that met last spring about putting sidewalk along Crawford Road included Alwood from Union Township, representatives from the city, CMU, the county Road Commission, the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe and Rowe Professional Services Company. Rowe would be contracted to engineer the project. Steve Clark, project administrator for Rowe, said some finances can come from two M-DOT grants they can apply for. This would only cover construction costs. Other costs, like engineering, would have to be shared by the stakeholders, which includes Union Township, the city, road commission, CMU and private landowners — whoever owns property along the routes. Alwood said they would need about $70,000 for engineering Crawford Road. Other ideas for funding besides grants are currently in the works, Ridley said. Something included in the discussion about which route was the fact the group of students walking late at night during the fatality had been freshmen. Clark said maybe if they knew about the alternate route, things might have been different. He said campus layout education could have potentially prevented the fatality. “The result of the fatality last fall occurred north of Denison Drive along Crawford Road,” Clark said. “If those students had actually taken a right and headed east on Denison (Drive), there was a lighted path that would almost get them all the way to the Towers (Residence Hall).” This is the lighted path that would be added onto as an alternate route, instead of putting sidewalk along Crawford. Ridley mentioned the possibility of putting up signs to make walkers more aware of where the path leads. Alwood said getting approval and finances for new sidewalk can take a long time due to “red tape.” He has made putting sidewalk in strategic areas within Mount Pleasant a personal mission during his time in office for the last four years. He put together the initial meeting last March after getting a call from a resident on Crawford Road who was “very upset” about Tsatsos’s fate and the safety issues concerning walkers and the road. With the anniversary of Tsatsos’s death on Nov. 1, Alwood said it does “make it more urgent” for a decision to be made. “I think everyone is in favor of some type of sidewalk,” Alwood said. “It’s such a dangerous road.”

Focus Students should seek help early, share experiences to combat psychiatric stigmas
How is your mental health? That’s a question we at Central Michigan Life will continue to ask Central Michigan University students each year at different times in both the fall and spring semesters. It’s why we’ve dedicated two cover stories within the last year to mental health advocacy and ways students can seek treatment. We believe success at CMU isn’t necessarily measured in grades or how rich your social experience was. It is measured by students accomplishing great things against incredible odds. For students with a mental illness, that measure of success can be as simple as getting through the day. The first steps in combating a treatable mental health diagnosis, however, are the knowledge and acceptance of having one. We realize asking for help can be one of the bravest things to do for someone with mental health concerns. We ask students to seek help immediately if they feel like their lives are spinning out of control. If something is amiss with your thoughts or feelings, addressing those issues head on is the only way to make it better. There are plenty of options to seek help on campus,
including psychiatric services through CMU’s Counseling Center. Be steadfast and follow through with consistent treatments, whether that’s talk therapy or psychologistprescribed medications. Suffering silently adds to the pressure of managing life and school stressors. Dealing with unknown internal forces at the same time only serves to bog down the mind with more worry and anxiety. That’s why we’ve made it a point this year to publish a mental health cover story from a student perspective. These stories resonate with other students with similar issues. They are also relatable for people without a mental illness, and that may be one of the most important tools we have to combat mental health stigmas. Allowing students to see what it means to have a mental illness ultimately leads to a greater understanding of mental health care as a whole. It allows students who need a proper diagnosis to seek help without feeling abnormal. Getting help and admitting you have a problem does not make you weak. It makes you strong. And with each step toward stability, you will continue to get stronger. We must continue to fight
the negative stereotypes surrounding mental illness. That starts with young people who have found peace of mind to come forward and share their experiences. It also starts with greater access to care on campus. We know that CMU has struggled through the years accommodating the needs of students who are desperate for a listening ear. Long wait times and a slew of unsubstantiated student horror stories prevented some students from getting help at the Counseling Center altogether. Despite those challenges, CMU recognized and actively worked to alleviate its institutional barriers to mental health care. Wait times are still a challenge, but university health staff are working harder to ensure that students receive assistance faster. Counseling Center Director Ross Rapaport said he is requesting more counselors for his department. We hope Rapaport’s request is accepted, even in the face of looming budget cuts. More counselors are a human commodity that is sorely needed if Rapaport and his staff are to meet upticks in students seeking services. The upticks mean students are seeing the value of seeking treatment before diagnoses become unmanageable. The university must continue to support, bolster and expand its mental health services on campus. As finals approach and a

‘Rocky Horror’ is a cultural experience everyone should have Let’s do the Time Warp again — and again, and again. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a cult classic made before our time, but it has transcended generations and continues to win over younger audiences that take delight in the oddity of its spectacle. I’ve been obsessed with “Rocky Horror” since I was introduced to it back in high school. Maybe it was Tim Curry prancing around in fishnets, or maybe it was the knowledge of the huge fan-base that stretched

across multiple decades. Either way, I was immediately drawn in to this weird little world. Each year, I go to the Broadway Theatre in downtown Mount Pleasant to watch the movie be brought to life by performers who love it just as much as I do.
Now, there are skeptics like my editor who, for one reason or another, cannot grasp the bizarre extravagance that is so deeply rooted in the film and the accompanying culture. Whether or not the movie follows a plot is debatable, and of course, standard morals are called into question. Overall, the quality of the movie is often panned. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is not simply a movie — it’s an experience. Expectations are to be left at the door, you’re
allowed to let your freak flag fly, and that’s the beauty of it. It’s a wild ride from beginning to end, even more so when it’s seen live. The actors, dressed in confidence — and not much else — use the audio track of the movie to exaggerate and make the experience theatrical, all the while staying in character despite the audience’s expected harassment. Not content to simply sit still and be quiet, viewers take on a role of their own, shouting things in response to what’s hap-
pening on screen. “Rocky Horror” is tradition at this point. “Call outs,” as they’re referred to, come from an invisible script that the attendees all seem to know from years of “Rocky Horror performances. This organized form of audience participation creates a feeling of community and kinship. It’s a mutual understanding among the audience. An understanding between people who enjoy this peculiar brand of atypical entertainment. For a short few hours, soci-
etal norms are turned upside down, temporarily suspending any rules that dictate public decorum. Characters — and audience members — dress in drag, alternative fashion and straight-up lingerie. You get to participate in the chaos surrounded by people who just want to do the same. We’re all here to enjoy the absurdity of it all without judgement. It reminds me of a phrase spoken by Dr. Frank N. Furter: “Don’t dream it, be it”.
The ‘Picture Show’ is an overrated relic of ’70s retro-trash Each year on Halloween weekend, college students, hip teens, theater nerds and aging Baby Boomers turn out to local playhouses to watch the 1975 film version of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” or some bastardized theatrical version of the original work.

My colleagues can hem and haw about how great “Rocky” is, or how the movie is OK but the real magic is seeing it live,

but I’ll humbly pass. After watching the movie on and off for decades, I can’t shake the opinion that “Rocky Horror” is an overrated relic of 1970s horror camp and rock opera counter-culture. No one wants to admit it, but the movie and subsequent retellings are nothing more

than decrepit pieces of recycled retro trash that should not have lasted past the 1990s. Now let me be clear: I don’t hate “Rocky,” I just think its mass appeal has worn out its underground cult credibility. I can imagine that “Rocky” was perfect for its era, when drug use and sexual liberation were at an all-time high. It was subversive, tantalizing and ripped from Meatloaf ’s “Bat Out of Hell” playbook. I do believe it stands with the likes of The Who’s “Tommy” or “Jesus Christ: Super-
star” in the great pantheon of rock operas. Yet unlike those films, the horror show keeps popping up, recirculated and repackaged as another goofy moment for misguided selfexpression. My beef is more pointed at the people who show up than it is with the movie itself. Its heavy impact on queer and drug culture has completely waned, and that’s due in part to the show’s new majority “normie” audience. We’re talking about people who publicly scoff at punks,

Then, on Halloween, the same thrill seeking little goody two-shoes show up to “Rocky,” barely dressed and in dark makeup, praising the one day they get to let their freak flags fly.

As the Nov. 8 election approaches, Congressman John Moolenaar hopes students know he’s a man who will fight for education. “I appreciate that students want to be optimistic about the economy and that when they graduate, there will be jobs,” said Moolenaar, R-Midland. “To me, having a strong economy is vital to doing that.” Moolenaar was one of four elected officials who spoke inside a packed conference room Friday, Oct. 28 at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort. As a part of the Mount Pleasant Area Chamber of Commerce Legislative Breakfast, Moolenaar was joined by Michigan Speaker of the House Kevin Cotter, State Sen. Judy Emmons and Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Leader Frank Cloutier. The four gave updates about their time working with the Michigan or Tribal governing bodies, and discussed what they believed could be improved upon. For the incumbent Moolenaar, this was especially important, as he is seeking reelection in November against Democrat Debra Wirth. His question and answer time at the end of the breakfast allowed for him to flesh out several ideas he touched upon in his address. “Keeping our people safe, making sure there are job opportunities for our citizens and making sure our educational system is benefitting students and helping them transition into the workplace with the skills they need to compete in a global economy are some of the most important things (for me during my time in office),” Moolenaar said. Moolenaar was first elected to Congress in November 2014. He represents Michigan’s 4th congressional district, which covers 15 districts from Cadillac to Owosso. The district has been represented by a Republican since the 1970s. Moolenaar’s seat was previously held by fellow Midland Republican Dave Camp. The congressman serves on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, the House Committee on Agriculture and the House Committee on the Budget. One of the main points of Cloutier’s address surrounded issues of climate change. He spoke about the controversy surrounding the Enbridge Line 5 Pipeline, which runs under the Straits of Mackinac. When pressed upon the issue of global warming, Moolenaar said he believed some of the policies put
in place by the Environmental Protection Agency were “overreaching” and could do more harm than good. “When you get into the policy prescriptions (regarding global warming), you say ‘What is the (appropriate) response? What are John Moolenaar the appropriate policies to address these in respect to making sure we have a strong economy and that regulations aren’t overreached,’” he said. “I think there needs to be common ground. I don’t think we’re there right now. My hope is to have a policy that recognizes good science and the importance of a strong energy policy.” He listed renewable energies like solar and wind power as a good start, but said they “don’t get you to where you need to be” like “clean coal” and nuclear energy does.
STATE SENATOR SPEAKS ON UNREGULATED ADOPTIONS Emmons gave updates on pieces of legislation she is making a priority for her committee after the election during the legislative breakfast as well. Initiatives she talked about ranged from issues on criminal justice reform to unregulated adoption. Emmons, who serves Michigan’s 33rd district, said a piece of legislation came through her committee regarding unregulated adoptions. “If there is a private adoption and you choose to go back on it, (you now) must proceed through the court system,” Emmons said. “There is oversight because we were losing children in our system.” Before the bill, if someone decided they no longer wanted to adopt, going back on their private adoption, there was no oversight required for it to go through the court system, Emmons said. She said unregulated adoptions could perpetuate human trafficking, and said she has plans for more bills related to the issue. In terms of criminal justice reform, Emmons brought up how Michigan is one of seven states that still treat 17 year olds as adults in the justice system. “There will be more to come on this,” Emmons said. “It’s a significant decision if we change that.” The senator said there were compelling arguments on both sides of the issue.

“SCANDAL” ACTRESS TO CAMPAIGN FOR HILLARY CLINTON AT CMU
Alison Zywicki | Staff Photographer Uzo Aduba from “Orange is The New Black” greets students on Oct. 29 outside the Bovee University Center outside of the Bovee University Center.
‘Orange is the New Black’ actress campaigns for Clinton By Kate Carlson Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
“Orange is the New Black” actress Uzo Aduba campaigned for Hillary Clinton on Saturday in front of the Bovee University Center. About 100 people waited to see the 35-year-old actress who stars as the character Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren in the popular Netflix series. Clinton campaign volunteers passed out stickers and signs promoting the Democratic nominee. With nine days until the election on Nov. 8, Clinton campaign volunteers and Aduba urged the crowd to vote and be a part of the political process. “We’re standing at the crossroads as a nation to decide who we are as a country,”
Aduba said. “(We don’t) want to see laws in this country that would stop people like my parents from coming (here).” Aduba said her parents are from Nigeria and came to America for a better life, and Clinton as president would protect the right for others to do the same. The main reason Aduba said she is traveling to college campuses to campaign and supporting Clinton this election is because she wants to protect that right, she said. “I hope and pray you’ll use your vote to support a candidate who supports me,” she said. “Use your vote — you have the power.” The actress took selfies with everyone after talking to the crowd for about 15 minutes. Owosso freshman Mor-
gan Garza said she thought somebody like Aduba would help Clinton relate to people more easily. “Especially toward college students. A lot of time people assume college students won’t vote,” Garza said. Before Aduba walked out of the Bovee University Center, Patrick Mullan-Koufopoulos, Clinton campaign campus coordinator for Central Michigan University, led the crowd in chanting “stronger together, and “Clinton, Kaine.” “We’re not asking about this because we want volunteers. We’re asking because we need volunteers,” he said. Volunteers passed around clipboards and encouraged students to sign up for shifts to volunteer for Clinton’s campaign.
“Scandal” actress Bellamy Young will campaign for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at 11:30 a.m. today in the Bovee University Center Chippewa room. Young will discuss Clinton’s economy plan “that works for everyone — not just those at the top,” according to the press release. Mount Pleasant is one of four Michigan stops Young will make to campaign for Clinton. Young was awarded the Critics’
Choice Television Award for “Best Supporting Actress” for her role in the ABC drama series “Scandal.” Young’s character, Melody Bellamy Young Grant, is the First Lady of the United States in the television show. - Brianne Twiddy, Features Editor

COVER STORY OCT. 31, 2016 Aubry Healy | Staff Photographer Alpha Psi Omega fraternity performs “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” on Oct. 28 at the Broadway Theatre.
Risqué business “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” has students doing the Time Warp again By Brianne Twiddy Features Editor
W
hen Kendall Day first joined the shadow cast of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” she had never watched the movie or attended the show. The Central Michigan University alumnus thought she would be performing in a show about the famous fictional boxer, Rocky Balboa.
She quickly realized that was not the case when she found herself mouthing the lines and acting out the comedic sexual scenes in little to no clothing. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” is a cultclassic film about a newly engaged couple whose car breaks down near a castle. They approach the castle to ask to use the owner’s telephone, they discover the castle isn’t only full of strangers in costumes, but a mad scientist — who is also an alien transvestite who has created a living man. Live satirical performances of the show are interactive, and audience members are encouraged to engage with the actors. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” hosted by the Alpha Psi Omega fraternity, was performed twice a night at the downtown Mount Pleasant Broadway Theatre Oct. 27-29.
“(To be in the cast) you have to let go of any inhibitions because there’s no limits with Rocky,” Day said. “We had to embrace the weird and love it.” The performance is an “interactive movie going experience,” said Claire Sullivan, an Eaton Rapids junior and host of the show. Patrons could purchase a prop bag that had a Central Michigan Life newspaper, rice, toilet paper, a piece of toast, tissues, toilet paper and playing cards. As the main characters, Janet and Brad, stood on stage with newspapers over their heads as the film characters were rained on behind them, the audience raised their papers over their head. When Brad and Janet attend a wedding, performers were rained on by rice — thrown by the audience.

GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH THE SEXUALITY Brad and Janet, the newly engaged couple, are stark contrasts to other characters they meet. While the couple is portrayed as innocent, Dr. Frank N. Furter — who is “just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania” — is introduced wearing a tight corset and thick makeup. He introduces the couple to his creation, a living man named Rocky. Frank seduces both Janet and Brad, and Janet eventually also becomes intimate with Rocky. Day, who has played Janet, said the Rocky’s she has performed with haven’t always comfortable with sexual scenes. The first time she ever rehearsed “Touch Me,” a song where Janet works to seduce Rocky, Day went to place the actor’s hands on her breasts. He paused and told Day he was uncomfortable. The key to performing sexual scenes comfortably comes down to good communication, Day said. “Janet and Rocky do more intimate stuff, so I chat with my Rocky to make sure we don’t make each other uncomfortable,” she said. “I just graduated, so I’m older than most people. I don’t want to come across as making them do things they don’t want to do.” Rehearsing the sex scenes is anything but sexy. During rehearsal, the actors have to work to choreograph where each limb will fit. “We have to orchestrate how to make it look spontaneous after that, but it’s not like we could have just acted (out) the orgy on stage for the first time in front of an audience,” Sullivan said GENDERBENT SHOWING Mount Pleasant has hosted the show every Halloween weekend for more than 30 years. Last fall, Alpha Psi Omega — who has hosted the show for about 30 years — added a genderbent show where actresses play the men’s roles and actors are casted in female roles. “With genderbent shows, you have to be even more confident. It’s such a sexual show, you have to be willing to go for it,” said Allie Jackson, a Sterling Heights senior and actress. “I played Frank before, and he’s a very open character who has a lot of contact. Most female characters aren’t like that.” The genderbent show took place 8 p.m. Friday. The performances raised money for the It Gets Better Project, Alpha Psi Omega fraternity’s philanthropy. The project works to

A LACK OF CLOTHING A little before midnight, a small line extended outside of the Broadway Theatre as group of students — their bodies only covered by fishnets, short shorts and corsets — waited to buy tickets to the show. It’s the community mentality surrounding “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” that makes the undressing to impress possible. No matter what a person wears to the show, Sullivan said, they likely won’t be the craziest dressed one. “It’s relaxing to know everyone will be as dressed up as you,” she said. “If a guy has always wanted to wear a dress but never felt comfortable enough to,

in wearing “short shorts,” Day said no one cares. “In fact, they cheer you on. I’ve never been to a Rocky show where someone judges you. The crazier, the better,” she said. “It’s the one time people feel comfortable.”

“Sexually Transmitted Demons” served as the conversation starter at the fourth annual Religion Area Halloween Panel on Oct. 27. The panel featured four stories by Central Michigan University faculty members: Ari Berk, Laurel Zwissler and Sara Moslener. Moslener, a religion professor, began the panel by sharing the tale of “Sexually Transmitted Demons: The Spiritual Battle for Body and Soul” — a metaphor for sexually transmitted diseases. “We are talking about actual demons,” Moslener said. She said “sexually transmitted demons” are the result of demons lodged inside human fluids — similar to sexually transmitted diseases that could be transferred during sexual intercourse. Moslener added the real fact that STD’s can also be contracted at birth if they are present in the parents. “These ideas come out of a particular slice of Christianity that believes in something called Spiritual Warfare,” Moslener said. “The Holy Spirit is a good spirit that you want to have a close relationship with.” Spiritual Warfare is the idea that the world is populated with good and evil spirits, she said, and often seem to claim different human bodies. She explained the differences between an Incubus and Succubus. She said incubus’ are male demons who come to humans at night to have sex with them. Succubus are the female versions of Incubuses. When it comes to the types of symptoms people would experience with “sexually transmitted demons,” she said they’d hear, see or sense evil spirits. She said the demons also hinder people from sensing or hearing “the Holy Spirit.” If an evil is “being excelled,” it is often viewed as jealousy or hatred. There is a very close connection between the physical world and the spiritual world, Moslener said. Moslener ended her tale by explaining the only cure for sexually transmitted demons is the performance of an exorcism. Talat Halman, a religion professor, followed Moslener’s story with his own titled “Smokeless Fire: Genies, Jinn and More.”
“Most of you think of Jinn as Robin Williams, and you think of the Genie of the lamp. Which makes you wonder what’s in the middle of the seal of CMU” TALAT HALMAN CMU FACULTY MEMBER
His tale included the different types of meaning for the word “Jinn.” In Islam, angels used to be called Jinn because they were invisible. Jinn means “hidden beings” that can live up to 9,000 years and were created much earlier than humans, Halman said. The were made out of smokeless fire. Many people think Jinn choose to be unfaithful to God, Halman said, but they do have free will. Jinn became demoted in the Islamic Revolution. “Most of you think of Jinn as Robin Williams, and you think of the Genie of the lamp. — which makes you wonder what’s in the middle of the seal of CMU?” Halman said . He ended his tale by explaining the types of Jinn, including: Ifrit, Ghoul, Ma’rid, Amir, Shaytan, Qarina, Si’la and Nasnas. Ari Berk, a English professor, told a tale titled “Neighbors Good and Dangerous: Why We Don’t Mess with The Faeries.” Berk focused on the book “Visions and Beliefs in the West of Ireland” by Lady Gregory. He explained the tradition called “In the Way,” where there are paths of the ancient dead to never cross. These are the roads of old village sites never to be crossed by the living. Berk ended his tale by saying it’s “a tradition to be insured we aknowledge the respect for our ancestors before us.”

Legends of the Dark brings horror stories to life By Haley Les Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
Screams echoed throughout Central Michigan University’s campus as students were guided through locations decorated in scenes of ghost stories. The hour-long “Legends of the Dark” haunted campus tours took place Oct. 19-21. The annual event was hostedby Trout Hall as a fundraiser for the hall and local charities. Volunteer tour guides lead participants around the ‘haunted’ campus areas, where students working as “scarers” jump out as students after being dressed by make-up artists. One story included the haunting a young girl, Caroline, who died and now haunts campus. “It’s a really good way to get involved with the community,” junior Katie Munday said. “It’s a level of bonding that happens when you scare people together.” All photos by Aubrey Healy | Staff Photographer

Pelafas’ goal sends soccer to conference semifinals
By Von Lozon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Buffalo has been a thorn in the sides of Central Michigan sports over the past few seasons. The Bulls knocked off the men’s basketball team in the Mid-American Conference Championship in 2015 and defeated the women’s basketball team in last year’s title game. Last season the Bulls took down the CMU soccer team in the MAC Quarterfinals on penalty shots. CMU’s soccer team claimed revenge against Buffalo on Sunday. A goal in the third minute by sophomore forward Alexis Pelafas was the only offense CMU needed to knock off the Bulls 1-0 on Sunday in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament at the Soccer/Lacrosse Complex. Pelafas’ goal extended her CMU single-season goals record to 16. It was the only shot on goal for the Chippewas in the first half. With the lead still 1-0 in the 89th minute, senior goalkeeper Kristen Knutson made “the biggest save of the season” as Buffalo forward Moira Petrie made a shot on goal that forced Knutson to dive to her left and fully extend her arms to make the save. “(Buffalo) was putting a lot of pressure on us,” Knutson said. “My team gave everything they could to the game — at the end especially. There are some moments of our careers where we don’t remember what happened. I can’t really tell you what happened, but I made the save and I’m glad I could help out my team.” The Chippewas now head to Kent State for the tournament semifinals match on Friday.

We didn’t want to lose at home and we wanted to beat Buffalo on our turf this year.

Struggles continue for volleyball Freshman middle blocker team with winless weekend
uses athleticism to overcome inexperience By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
For freshman middle blocker Jayla Wesley, her transition from high school to collegiate volleyball was a nerve-racking one. “It’s so much different,” Wesley said. “The pace is faster and the crowds are bigger. Everything is different. I get overwhelmed at times, but that doesn’t change the fact that my teammates have (my back).” Since her debut in late August, the 6-foot-1 West Bloomfield native has played in 81 sets and recorded 100 kills on the season. Her 64 blocks is the second most by any Chippewa this year. “When Jayla is involved, we tend to have success,” said head volleyball coach Mike Gawlik. “When Jayla’s effective with our offense and when we can get her going, we typically get better looks for everyone.” Wesley’s 100 kills this season is the most kills by a CMU freshman in two years — since junior Jordan Bueter’s and junior Taylor Robertson’s freshman years. Her blocking skills are some of the best in the Mid-American Conference, and her 64
blocks make her the third best freshman in the conference. “She’s doing everything she can and she works hard,” Gawlik said. “At times she’s a little bit overwhelmed, but with the heath of our group, she’s got to be out there and make sure she’s constantly learning.”
MORE THAN VOLLEYBALL Prior to attending CMU to play volleyball, Wesley was also a standout track and field athlete at Walled Lake Central High School. Wesley was All-State on three separate occasions in the 4x200 relay, 4x400 relay and the high jump. Her jump of 5-feet-4-inches at the 2016 MHSAA state finals placed her third. “My track coach wanted to get me into looking at schools for track, but volleyball was what I wanted to go to school for,” Wesley said. “I still love (track and field). It was a really good thing for me to have both volleyball and track.” While she has given the thought of playing both sports, she said it might have to wait until later in her collegiate career. “I was thinking after my four years are up here, during my fifth year I would do a little track work,” Wesley said.
By Anthony Cook Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Following Saturday’s 3-2 loss to Ball State, Central Michigan volleyball head coach Mike Gawlik wanted to focus on the positives. “Start to finish, I think we had the best fight that I’ve seen out of this group all year,” Gawlik said. “I didn’t think it was always pretty. I didn’t think it was always perfect, but I do think we had 14 young women that were really binding together.” After taking a 2-0 set lead, the Chippewas dropped the final three sets. It is the team’s third consecutive loss. “At times and in clutch moments, we kind of took our foot off what was making us successful in
sets one and two, which was being incredibly aggressive,” Gawlik said. “It’s a heart-breaker for us. It’s a match that we know we felt we needed.” The loss doesn’t affect the MAC West standings, as CMU is still in fourth place ahead of Eastern Michigan and Western Michigan and eighth in the conference overall. CMU will need to finish in eighth place or higher in the MAC to make the conference tournament. CMU travels to Western Michigan and Northern Illinois next weekend for their last weekend road trip of the season. In the previous meeting with the Broncos in early October, WMU took the Chippewas to five sets before CMU came away with the victory. Against Northern Illinois earlier in the season, the Huskies handed CMU one of its 11 straight set losses.

Football fighting for bowl eligibility after loss to Kent State By Austin Denean Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Following Saturday’s 27-24 loss to Kent State, John Bonamego said he was unable to speak to the confidence level of his football team moving forward. “I challenged them to have some inner reflection and figure out where each man can get better,” he said. “I don’t believe (the losses) are a function of effort. There’s a difference between playing hard and playing well.” Central Michigan is now one Western Michigan win away from being mathematically eliminated from Mid-American Conference title contention. The loss dropped CMU’s record to 5-4 and 2-3 in conference play. They are tied for third place in the MAC West Division with Eastern Michigan. In order for CMU to qualify for the MAC Championship Game, it would need to win the rest of its games and WMU and Toledo would need to lose every remaining game. Although CMU is unlikely to win the MAC this season, the team can still finish with eight wins — something no CMU team has done since 2009. The Chippewas can become bowl eligible with one more victory this season. “It’s football. You play to win games,” Bonamego said. “(Kent State) is out of it, but
that didn’t stop them from coming in here and competing hard to get a win.” The Chippewas remaining opponents are Miami (Ohio), Eastern Michigan and Ohio. The three teams have a combined record of 15-14 (9-5 MAC). To improve on its 7-6 record from last season, CMU will have to win each of its final three games. “We have to focus on moving on to the next game and see what we’re really made of,” said senior defensive lineman Jabari Dean. “The seniors and captains have to make sure the team keeps its focus.” Prior to this weekend, ESPN college football beat writers projected CMU to appear in either the Idaho Potato Bowl or the St. Petersburg Bowl. Although the Chippewas would become bowl eligible with six wins, there isn’t a guarantee they would be selected for a bowl game with a 6-6 record, especially if enough teams finish with a better record. The Chippewas went 6-6 in 2013, but did not received a bowl game invitation. CMU hasn’t won a bowl game since defeating Western Kentucky in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl at Ford Field in 2012. The Chippewas lost their last two bowl games including a 21-14 loss to Minnesota in the Quick Lane Bowl last season. CMU takes on Miami (Ohio) on Friday at 6 p.m.

Cross country teams take fourth, seventh at MAC Championships By Travis Olson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Two Chippewas earned All-Mid-American Conference honors as the Central Michigan women’s cross country team finished fourth out of twelve teams at the MAC Championship on Saturday. The Chippewas’ women’s team finished with 126 points, 10 points shy of finishing third. Sophomore Megan O’Neil led the women’s team with a time of 21:10 to take ninth place. Senior Kelly Schubert finished 10th with a time of 21:24, junior Kirsten Olling took 21st (22:00), senior Hannah Davis placed
35th with a time of 22:26 and senior Jamie Madrigal rounded out the top five for CMU with a time of 23:01. O’Neil and Schubert were both named to the All-MAC second team for their performances. Saturday’s placement for the Chippewas women’s team was an improvement from their eighth place finish at the PreNational Invitational on Oct. 15. Eastern Michigan took home both the women’s and men’s titles at th e meet. CMU men’s team finished seventh with 196 points. It edged Toledo, who also finished with 196, thanks to its sixth runner, freshman Adam Grifka. Grifka finished ahead of the Rockets’ sixth
runner with a time of 27:25. Junior Joseph Emmanuel led the way for the men’s team. He took 28th place with a time of 26:18. Senior Spencer Nousain placed 34th, freshman Bransen Stimpfel took 41st, junior Alec Omell finished 46th, and Casey Voisin rounded out the top five with a 57th place finish with a time of 27:02. The men’s and women’s teams will compete at the NCAA Great Lakes Regional on Nov. 11 in Madison, Wisconsin. The men’s cross country team finished in 15th place of 30 teams at the Great Lakes Regional meet in 2015. The women’s team finished tied for 12th place out of 30 teams.

Fowler drafted by NBA Development League team By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Chris Fowler has found his way to professional basketball. The former Central Michigan men’s basketball star was selected by the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the NBA Development League Draft on Sunday. The Mad Ants took Fowler with the seventh pick of the second round. Fowler averaged 14.5 points per game over the course of four seasons at CMU. A two-time All-Mid-American Conference
First Team selection, Fowler is CMU’s all-time leader in assists (686). He had 1,736 points, 185 steals, 13 blocks and 377 rebounds as a Chippewa. Chippewa fans know Fowler as a four-year captain who helped the Chippewas win back-to-back MAC West Division titles during his junior and senior seasons. The 6-foot-1 guard was named the MAC Player of the Year during his junior season in 2014-15 and earned votes for the award his senior season, despite missing the first seven games due to an
undisclosed injury. Fowler worked out for several NBA teams over the summer, but did not participate in the NBA Summer League in July. Former CMU teammate and guard Rayshawn Simmons played for the Washington Wizards during the Summer League. The Mad Ants are an affiliate of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers. Fort Wayne compiled a 20-30 record last season to finish in last place in the NBA D-League Central Division. Fowler and the Mad Ants open the season against the Greensboro Swarm on Nov. 12.

CROSSWORD
Austin Denean | Staff Reporter Kelly/Shorts Stadium from the press box during the game against Kent State on Oct. 29.
Apathy rising at home football games as season dwindles Someone needs to say it. While attempting to appear like a thriving Division I football program, the wheels fell off Saturday in Mount Pleasant. Those at Kelly/Shorts Stadium for the Chippewas’ game against Kent State saw this university’s true colors — a suitcase college with a lackluster athletics culture and a football team going through the motions. An hour before kickoff, whatever students who were not in East Lansing for the Michigan vs. Michigan State game went through the motions of tailgating in a sparsely populated parking lot. The football team and coaching staff went through the motions on the field, turning the ball over four times against Kent State, missing numerous field goals and giving a generally lackluster performance that resulted in a 27-24 defeat. On the first play of the game, the Chippewas recovered a KSU fumble in the Golden Flashes’ Red Zone. CMU’s offense went three-and-out before a bad snap caused kicker Brian Eavey to miss the field goal. In the bleachers, the seemingly shrinking group of faithful CMU fans went through the motions of cheering on the Chippewas, who did not provide much to cheer about, and singing the exhausted
Andrew Surma Sports Editor
CMU fight song. The culture surrounding the football program can be summed up simply: It’s tired. Gone is the excitement that was the promise of a MAC title and the excitement of a new head coach — that has all passed. The filled stadium bleachers seen during the Presbyterian, UNLV and Western Michigan games seemed like a season ago on Saturday. The muffled, awkwardly quiet music played over the loud speakers, the little games fans play during timeouts, “T-Shirt Time.” It’s all the same old, same old. Week in and week out. The athletics department announced 9,236 people were in attendance at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Saturday. I have my doubts about the accuracy of that number. This university lacks a significant number of students who truly are invested in being a CMU football fan. That’s because this university lacks an on-field football product that captivates and nurtures a fanbase. It will always be about winning.
CMU has a terrible habit of garnering the student bodies’ excitement early in the season, then losing the big game that would have been the season’s signature win that would make the team elite. It’s a terrible habit of falling into being average — and spending much of the season going through the motions Heading into CMU’s game against Western Michigan in week five, the Chippewas’ fan base was the most energized it had been in years. Then CMU laid an egg in front of 30,000 people on their home field against its biggestw rival. Moving forward, now is when the legacy of head coach John Bonamego will be made. Now that the preliminary infatuation with the new coach has passed, how will he get down to the business of making people’s interest in CMU football great again? How can Bonamego and the team create a culture so students stay in Mount Pleasant even when Michigan and Michigan State are playing down the road on Halloween weekend? How can he give the program the shot it needs to pump some new energy in? When will CMU stop going through the motions? The answer is simple. As former Oakland Raiders Owner Al Davis once said, “Just win, baby.”
