On at least two occasions since the Nov. 8 presidential election, the Central Michigan University Police Department has received complaints of racially-charged intimidation on or near campus. Two incidents were reported by students on Nov. 9. The first involved an African-American student walking on Washington Street who heard someone from inside a passing car scream at her “Trump won you f---ing n----r.” Later in the day, two African-American students confronted a white male student in the Towers Residence Real Food on Campus Dining Hall after he used a racial slur to address a group of AfricanAmerican women discussing President-elect Donald Trump. CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman said the department reported both incidents to the university’s Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity. The incidents are part of an “uptick” in complaints about racial or gender harassment or intimidation on campus, according to Kathy Lasher, director of the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity. “Some of the incidents we’re seeing might not rise to the level of harassment and discrimination under the protocol or under the law,” Lasher said. “We’ve been working with Dr.(Carolyn)
Dunn’s office on finding other avenues for people who want to have a discussion and express themselves on campus.” Since the election, OCRIE has facilitated forums for minority students to express their feelings on what they call hateful rhetoric surfacing on campus. On Tuesday, the program “What Now?” — a conversation about racial issues held in the Bovee University Center Auditorium — gave students a voice. The incident in the RFoC was discussed. Lasher would not confirm if OCRIE is investigating the two incidents. She would not provide any other data on how many incidents have been reported since Nov. 8. “We can’t speak to specific cases if they’re involved in our office due to FERPA concerns,” Lasher said. FERPA is a federal law that protects the privacy of students’ personally identifiable information. Staff Reporter Jonathan Hogan contributed to this report.

President Ross discusses post-election climate during Academic Senate By Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
President Ross discussed he results of the presidential election and subsequent protests on campus during an Academic Senate meeting Nov. 15. “It’s been a challenging week here on campus,” Ross said. “There are a number of people on campus that are nervous. Some have communicated to me they’re fearful.” Ross’s speech came after a divisive presidential race in which President-elect Donald Trump was the victor. On Nov. 15, students marched to Warriner Hall to voice their concerns about the election results and hate speech on campus. Ross called on faculty, staff and students to maintain integrity, compassion and inclu-
siveness in light of the election results. He also encouraged students to talk to counselors if they feel the need to discuss their feelings and to report instances of oncampus harassment to the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity. President Ross “How we deal with our campus is up to us,” Ross said. “I can’t speak to the rest of the country, to the rest of this state, but how we treat each other on our campus is up to us.” When asked about the protest by Senator Leesha Novak, Ross said he hadn’t been on campus until noon and had not been briefed on the protest. Campus police reported it was peaceful, he said.

STEM scholars get early, hands-on learning experiences By Sarah Clinkscales Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
When Sara Fisk wrote what she wanted to be when she grew up on the white board of her third grade classroom, she knew in that moment she wanted to be a teacher. The Big Rapids sophomore is a teacher education major and a Science Technology Engineering and Math Education (STEM) scholar at Central Michigan University. Being a STEM scholar allows her to work hands on with kids early in her degree, she said. Fisk wants to be a math teacher because it comes naturally to her. She worked at summer STEM camps CMU held for elementary and middle school students in the summer and was awarded the STEM education scholarship — her dream of being a math teacher starting to look more like a reality. Being able to work with kids is a hands-on experience most education majors normally don’t have until they are accepted into the program after passing the Professional Readiness Exam, she said. One requirement of being a STEM scholar is to have an ACT score of at least 26, which qualifies as passing for the PRE. Fisk said the STEM program prepared her for her classes and made her more comfortable and confident working with kids. “It was a sneak peek into being a teacher,” Fisk said. “It was a wake up call that this job isn’t easy but I don’t know what else I would do with my life. I’d like to teach advanced math and eventually teach at a college level.” Julie Cunningham, director at the Center of Excellence in STEM Education, said the

scholarship gives students the ability to creatively solve a problem. She said it is a problem solving based program because every STEM scholar will someday have different problems they will be tasked with solving creatively in their own classrooms. The STEM Education Scholarship was started in 2015 and has accepted every student who has applied for it. Each scholar can receive a $1,000 one-time award, free enrollment in Leadership Safari, membership in a national math or science association and attendance at a national science, math or STEM conference, Cunningham said. “Sara went above and beyond,” Cunningham said. “She worked at camps over the summer and worked really hard.” One camp Fisk worked at through the STEM program was a drone camp, the first of its kind at CMU. Students who attend the camp are
normally from the Mount Pleasant area. Middle school students got to build and fly drones in a competition with each other. After the camp each camper got to leave with their own $25 drone. Other camps that STEM hosts are an engineering camp and tinkering and technology camp. Cunningham said kids who attend the camps learn problem solving skills and teamwork. “They’re on campus working with college students so they can see themselves going to school here someday,” Cunningham said. Ashley O’Neil, program coordinator for the STEM center, said that the camps are a unique way for college and younger elementary and middle school students to be involved on CMU’s campus. “Student’s ideas almost always exceed what we thought,” O’Neil said. “They get out of it what they put in.”

COVER STORY NOV. 21, 2016
enhancing the future Students studying STEM at CMU offered variety of opportunities with new programs, technology By Sarah Wolpoff Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
Originally known as a predominantly teachers college, Central Michigan University has been making strides to establish itself as a college ahead of the game in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. With the unveiling of new projects such as the Biosciences Building in September and plans to open more science labs in coming years, CMU’s College of Science and Engineering is making this possible with its myriad
programs and opportunities for students at the university. This includes expanding the fermentation science program and adding biosafety labs and a multitude of research projects. More than 180 undergraduate students in the College of Science and Engineering participated in capstone projects involving research, design projects or internships in the past year, with another 153 students working with faculty on research projects in their respective labs. The university has made an investment in more than just a building, said Ian Davison, dean of the College of Science and Engineer-

ing. They’ve made an investment in the future of students. It is crucial students are trained in up-to-date software and technologies being used in the field they are entering, he said. “The STEM fields by nature are highly technological, and these disciplines need access to the latest software and modern equipment so they can do work that is cutting edge,” Davison said. “That’s not just important for the faculty and their research, but for the students.” He said he thinks faculty at major research universities, such as University of Michigan and Michigan State University, have a lot of pressure to get external grants to support

their research. This makes it harder for them to embrace undergraduates in their work like CMU does, Davidson said. “As we strengthen our research programs, we want to make sure that (we) strengthen the undergraduate programs as well, by giving undergraduate students an opportunity to work in cutting-edge research,” he said.
FERMENTATION SCIENCE PROGRAM SUCCESSES Now that the first 2015 student cohort to complete the Fermentation Science certificate program is out in the job market, Program Director Cordell DeMattei said most graduates are experiencing impressive job success. Students have been accepting job offers at breweries all over Michigan, DeMattei said, including Ann Arbor Brewing Company, Four Leaf Brewing, Frankenmuth Brewing and Hunter’s Ale House in Mount Pleasant. Steve Swaney, a brewer at Hunter’s Ale House who received the Fermentation Science certificate, said he thinks students who attain the certificate are more competitive in the job market. He said a strong reputation has been built between CMU’s fermentation science program and nearby breweries. Swaney used to work in a pharmaceutical biochemistry lab at the University of Michigan. He moved to Mount Pleasant when his wife accepted a faculty position at CMU. He had been brewing beer as a hobby for more than 10 years and enrolled in the program when his wife suggested turning his hobby into a profession. The program taught him how to go from a home brewing scale operation to professional brewery, Swaney said. Making the transition

to a larger scale operation was made possible with skills he learned in the program, from mechanical equipment to cleaning processes to quality control, Swaney said. He now has a more in-depth knowledge of the science behind brewing, Swaney said, such as the bittering of the hops and malting reactions. Paige Windish from Mancelona also works at Hunter’s Ale House. She graduated from CMU with a degree in biomedical sciences and the fermentation science certificate. Windish typically uses a three-barrel system, which allows her to create experimental batches. She said DeMattei’s program taught her about different yeast reactions, hops aromas and how the flavors combine in a brew — important elements when making experimental batches. Both Swaney and Windish said the 200-hour internship required for the certificate played a key role in preparing them for the job market. DeMattei said he hopes the Fermentation Science Program will keep growing in size and number of internships for experience. He plans to add an analytics lab to the program in future years, where students will be able to test the various beers they brew.
STUDYING INFECTIOUS DISEASES In addition to expanding its brewing program, CMU is expanding its ability to partake in critical research on infectious diseases that inflict millions of people around the world.
When student and faculty researchers work with dangerous diseases, specialized facilities and safety protocol are necessary to prevent outbreak. Chemistry professor Benjamin Swarts said new biosafety facilities in the Biosciences Building are designed in four levels. These facilities will be open for student and faculty research use once the labs are approved by CMU’s Institutional Biosafety Committee. For now, researchers use the older biosafety labs. Each level is designated to work with increasingly dangerous biological elements, with additional special features and practices building upon the previous level. Swarts said CMU has Biosafety Level 1 and Level 2 facilities that faculty use for research. Researchers at CMU have already been using Level 2 facilities to study the Zika Virus, which is spread by mosquitoes. As one of the features on the fourth floor of the new Biosciences Building, researchers at the university will have access to a Biosafety Level 3 facility for the first time. It will be used to allow “safe handling and manipulation of pathogens” which could “cause serious or potentially lethal disease through the inhalation route of exposure,” Swarts said. Swarts will be the first researcher to use the facilities for tuberculous research. He was also one of the key players involved with creating the facility. “It’s estimated more than 2 billion people, or a third of the world’s population, are infected
with this bacterium,” he said. “These are primarily latent infections where the bacterium is dormant and does not cause disease. There are approximately 10 million cases of active tuberculous disease per year, leading to about 1.5 million fatalities.” His research involves developing methods to study the outer layer of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cells, the bacterium responsible for causing tuberculosis. Swarts said the outer layer is important to bacterial defense, communication and drug tolerance, but there are still aspects of the layer’s structure and function that scientists do not understand. A greater understanding on how the outer layer works can provide insight critical for developing new anti-tubercular drugs. While treatment for tuberculosis exists, Swarts said the rigorous and extended nature of treatment makes it difficult for people to medicate properly, allowing the disease to build immunity to medicine. “Given the massive impact diseases like tuberculosis have on global health, it is important that facilities are available to allow research that aims to better understand and combat these devastating human diseases,” he said. “Although rare, bacteria similar to those causing human tuberculosis have also caused disease in Michigan’s cattle and wildlife. Research on these pathogens could have an impact on the regional level as well.” Access to the Biosafety Level 3 facility will be strict. He said only faculty and graduate students who have completed a difficult training process and have been approved by CMU’s institutional biosafety committee will be permitted. The entrance to the facility features doubledoor access, meaning researchers must enter a room to prepare themselves with proper attire and equipment before entering the facility. Doors to the two rooms will never be opened at the same time. Inside the biosafety facility, scientists are protected during all manipulation of biological agents because the work will be done in special safety cabinets with high-efficiency particulate air filters, Swarts said. In addition, biohazardous waste will be sterilized using a “pass-through” autoclave for decontamination. The Biosafety Level 3 facility will expand research opportunities at CMU. Swarts said it will allow current faculty to extend their research interests into the realm of infectious diseases, and the university will be able to recruit future faculty with expertise in these areas. “From an educational standpoint, CMU graduate students and postdoctoral fellows trained to work in the laboratory will have an extremely valuable skill set when they enter the job market,” he said.

UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH EXPERIENCES For students who haven’t found internships or are involved in doctoral or post-undergraduate research, opportunities are still abound in the College of Science and Engineering. “We’re an institution at a level of doing high quality research, but haven’t disconnected it from the undergraduate enterprise,” Davison said. Davison said during the past three years, an average of 40 academic papers published by the college have at least one undergraduate author. He said for a student to be included as an author, their contribution must be tangible. “Our engineering programs, for example, have grown rapidly. As those have grown it’s been supported by the central administration, giving us additional faculty members,” he said. “They’ve also given us new faculty to strengthen the Institute of Great Lakes Research and research in nuclear physics, a program we do in collaboration with MSU and their facility for rare isotope beams.” Michael Anger came to CMU with an associate’s degree from Mid-Michigan Community College knowing he wanted to do research. He said he knew there were always going to be jobs in a science field but wanted to find an area that intrigued him. “If you get into the labs early, as an undergraduate, it allows you to test the waters without risk, and you can spend different semesters in different fields of research,” Anger said. “You might think you want to be a scientist, but (you) wouldn’t know until you learn what those people really do.” Anger spends about 20 hours a week in Dr. Bradley Fahlman’s chemistry research lab, conducting experiments while working under doctoral student Phillip Medina. Originally, he came to CMU to study physics, but since he knew Fahlman from his church community, Anger asked him for advice in getting involved. Fahlman’s research group focuses on studying green technology. By using nanomaterials to insert into batteries, they aim to find different capabilities to store energy more efficiently. “It’s an exciting field to be in,” Anger said. “We (as a species) have to go green eventually. Resources are going to run out sometime.” Anger said research like this holds the ultimate goal of getting corporations and society to switch to green energy by scientifically proving its capabilities and efficiency. Currently, Anger is working on a way to easily reproduce synthesized porous silicon thin films, which have the capability of being 11 times more conductive than the current material being used in batteries. Scientists have w FUTURE | 8

been able to do this since CONTINUED FROM 7 the 1990’s, but there has been difficulty in easily reproducing the process. Fahlman’s research group is trying to prove using the silicon-based substance is a viable option for batteries, Anger said. Companies can take the scientific evidence to investors, who can invest capital into greener energy manufacturing. Anger has successfully been able to reproduce the synthesized porous silicon several times. He said he has been able to do this because of advanced technology the university has invested in. Once concluded, Fahlman will send samples of their results to colleagues all over the world. Silicon is incredibly versatile, Anger said, so the material can be used for various applications in the medical and energy industries. Anger has plans present his work in his first academic publication next semester. He said student initiative is a key role in getting involved with research at CMU. Anger said if students think they are interested in an area, they should do research on what CMU faculty are doing, and talk to them. “You don’t need a lot of background,” he said. “You just need the initiative.”
Grad student volunteers teach third-graders value of science By Chris Stevens Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
Hands bolt into the air to answer a question during a 9 a.m. class. Some students are so excited to answer they don’t wait to be called on and blurt out the answer in excitement. Rather than taking place in a lecture hall, these students are packed into small tables with coloring sheets and crayons. These are not Central Michigan University undergraduates — they’re members of Andra Pietrantonio’s third-grade class at Ganiard Elementary School. “I wish sometimes that our upper level graduate courses had as much enthusiasm as those kids do,” said Seth Bensen, South Haven graduate student and BioBuds program coordinator. The BioBuds program was developed in the Spring of 2012 by the Biology Graduate Student Association after being inspired by a visit from famed scientist Jane Goodall. She spoke at CMU

about her own “Roots and Shoots” program, a youth-led community action program. BioBuds takes CMU student volunteers into third-grade classrooms to teach children about biology-related topics through activities and engagement. Topics range from invasive species to soil and camouflage. Volunteers were previously limited to biology graduate students, but the program has since been made available to junior and senior undergraduate biology students that have conducted lab work, Benson said. The lesson on Nov. 18 at Ganiard Elementary was about camouflage. Benson and Tim Palmer, a Frankenmuth graduate student, had half the class place color paper butterflies onto similarly colored objects and locations around their classroom after explaining what camouflage is and how animals use it in the wild. The other half of the class was in the hallway while the butterflies were being hidden in plain sight by their classmates using camouflage. Once the butterflies were in place, they came back into the classroom to search for them. One of the butterflies was hidden so well, the child who hid it had to reveal the location to the class. It was a green butterfly taped to a green backpack. The BioBuds volunteers lectured for about five minutes on a topic, then gave the students an activity related to the topic, Benson said. Mount Pleasant graduate student Megan Malish said she has volunteered her time to the program because “science outreach is important, especially to younger kids to get them interested.” A BioBuds lessons usually lasts about forty minutes to an hour. “I feel activities are the best way of learning,” Benson said. “We’re all very well versed in what it means to be a biology student compared to most. Their teacher is probably a better teacher than us, but maybe doesn’t have the time to go through and create these lesson plans for one specific science subject.” Pietrantonio said she enjoys the program because it provides her students with hands-on activities that get the children up and moving. Mount Pleasant doctoral student Rachel Hackett was involved in the first BioBuds committee and continues to volunteer with the program. The program is designed to inspire young scientists and show them “the real face of science,” she said.

Arts competiton showcases traditional Native American works By Haley Les Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com
The Ziibiwing Center of Anishinaabe Culture and Lifeways hosted their annual Circle of Indigenous Arts and Market Competition Nov. 18 and 19. The event was part of Native American Heritage Month, and featured handmade blankets and traditional beading art scattered on tables throughout the center. Native American History Month is nationally recognized, and inspires a series of annual events at Central Michigan University for students and the community. “We used to hold (the competition) biannually, but for the past four years we decided to have it annually,” said Shannon Martin, director of the Ziibiwing Center. The free event had art, music, dance and children’s activity spread throughout three different rooms. The main lobby featured three tables with tshirts, blankets and dream catchers. Another room had 13 different pieces of artwork on display. “I like to come to meet different people and see the different artwork,” said Charmaine Shawana, an attendent of the event. “I also like to go to the pow wows.” Those in attendance were given pieces of paper to vote on their favorite artwork. The Ziibiwing Center offers children 18-yearsold and younger a chance to display their artwork, but were not included in the competition. “We like to cater to the more local Michigan artists, and also to those who are under 18,” Martin said. In the third room, there were seven tables set

Serve & Protect With Accountability Mount Pleasant, CMUPD must use body cameras to uphold transparency in policing
Trust and accountability are the cornerstones of a thriving community. That’s why transparency from government officials and local police departments is now more important than ever. It’s why Isabella County Sheriff Mike Main wants to implement the use of body cameras within his department as soon as possible. We commend Sheriff Main for prioritizing the safety of his citizens and the integrity of his post by using technology to restore that vital trust. We also call on Mount Pleasant and Central Michigan University police to make body cameras a department priority. Both CMUPD and MPPD officials said they do not believe body camera technology and regulations are reliable enough at present to serve their intended purpose. CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said he wants to wait for regulatory legislation to catch up with body cam technology before he integrates them into his department. MPPD Public Information Officer Jeff Browne agreed, saying there’s more to using body cams in the field than affixing a camera and turning it on.
We disagree with their reasoning. A body camera is the difference between trust and disdain when something goes wrong during the daily duties of police work. If these agencies hold transparency and accountability up as core values, they must mandate body camera use for all officers on patrol. A body camera records the details of a routine traffic stop without prejudice, emotion or inherit bias. It captures raw footage and lays the facts out plainly for review after incidents like police shootings turn deadly. At least 865 people were shot by police this year, according to The Guardian’s database of police-involved shootings. The Washington Post reported 991 police shootings in 2015. The data also shows that 209 of those incidents involved unarmed or potentially unarmed assailants who wound up dead. According to the data, the killings are often justified as self-defense from officers who thought their lives were in danger. In the aftermath, the validity of officer self-defense claims are often vigorously debated by

Activists opposing unnecessary police brutality say the use of body cameras can set the record straight when the details of police shootings

OPINIONS
A day with alumnus Dick Enberg taught me about hard work I’ve been blessed to meet some of the most talented media professionals in the country because of my education at Central Michigan University and employment at Central Michigan Life. But none will ever top the experience I had last week. I was one of just a handful of student journalists who met and gave a tour of Moore Hall and its student media facilities to sports broadcasting legend and CMU graduate Dick Enberg. What a guy. At 81 years old, you could see the nostalgia percolating in his eyes as he walked through the door. When he graduated from CMU, television was in its infancy and Central was a place you went to learn to be a teacher. “It was unthinkable that CMU

would have a medical school,” he told the group during our tour. “It still is,” I thought to myself. It didn’t really hit me that he was actually standing in front of me until he opened his mouth and that legendary voice hit my ears. He was really standing there, in our newsroom. It was incredible. For decades, the voice of our most successful alumnus was the soundtrack to professional sports’ biggest and best moments. His tone was soft when needed and passionate

when pressure was at its highest. He was your grandfather telling you a story and your big brother celebrating your first home run. Dick did it all. The Super Bowl, Olympic Games and Final Four. Nobody was as quick-witted and thoroughly prepared to call the a defining play. Enberg was always ready for the big moment. And his return to campus was mine. I had the privilege of introducing Enberg to a group of about 300 students he took questions from that afternoon. His resume — 14 Emmys, nine Sportscaster of the Year Awards and many others — speaks for itself. He was sitting patiently backstage when I worked up the courage to approach him and nervously blurted
out: “So, Mr. Enberg … are you enjoying your visit?” His warm smile instantly soothed my pre-speech anxiety. “You’ll do fine,” he said. We talked for about five minutes while we waited for the lecture to start. We chatted about the media, CMU football and life after college graduation. I told him I hope to be a fraction as successful in my career as he was during his. He wasn’t having it. “I’ve lived a privileged life,” he modestly told me. “You can, too. If you work for it.” His words last week have emboldened me. It was the perfect primer to the kickoff of my career in the media. Here is what Dick Enberg taught me. In sports, and in life, opportunities
come and go, but work ethic is everything. Mr. Enberg is living proof that Chippewas can do great things. In one five-minute conversation, he gave me some pieces of advice I’ll remember for the rest of my life. It’s very unlikely that I’ll ever end up as successful as Dick Enberg. But after a face-to-face with the ultimate symbol of sports media success and a fellow Chippewa, my professional pledge is stronger now that it has ever been. No matter what happens, I’ll never stop believing in the value of the work ethic built through attaining a college education. And with the legacy of an old Chippewa named Dick Enberg in mind, I’ll find constant motivation in the power of my dreams.

After more than 50 years of sports broadcasting, Central Michigan University alumnus Dick Enberg decided to turn off his mic. The Armada native was invited to lead the CMU Marching Chips Tuesday night at the Chippewas football game against Ohio. Before he led the band in playing the CMU fight song, Enberg spoke to students and faculty members in the Music Building. During his 45-minute talk, Enberg discussed his time at CMU, his early days in broadcasting and some memorable games he covered during his career. After getting a $100 scholarship to attend CMU, Enberg said his first broadcasting job came as a disc jockey at a small radio station in Mount Pleasant. He had no previous broadcasting experience. In college, Enberg was bussing trays in the Barnes Hall cafeteria for 60 cents per hour while his fraternity brother was a custodian at the radio station making $1 per hour. His fraternity brother tried to get Enberg a custodial job at the station, but the station’s boss didn’t want Enberg for his custodial work — he wanted his voice. Despite not being prepared, Enberg said he was told “let’s just see how you do cold” on a recorded broadcast.
wood Walk of Fame and is the only sportscaster to win Emmys in three different categories. To go along with his broadcasting accolades, Enberg also has a prestigious award named in his honor at CMU. The Dick Enberg Student Athlete of the Year is given to a studentathlete who has at least a 3.2 GPA, has excelled in competition and demonstrates team leadership. This year’s winner was senior Christen Chiesa from the women’s soccer team. Enberg was inducted into the CMU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993. At the end of his speech, Enberg told students to be more active outside and take advantage of what CMU’s campus has to offer. “With all the capability with texting and Facebook and all the rest, it concerns me that young people are going through life with their head down,” he said. “My little request is for you to take one hour on a Saturday or Sunday, put all of that away and walk down campus. See the beauty of this place and the beautiful people that occupy it.” Enberg urged students to continue to develop connections with each other during their time at CMU. “Although our advancements are terrific, don’t leave out the importance of being with people,” he said. “Be like me; walk with pride, the pride that you’re a student here and proud to be a Chippewa.”

He did the recording, got a call three weeks later and was hired as the weekend disc jockey. He ended up making that $1 per hour he was hoping for. “What if I was told I was the new custodian? That would’ve changed my entire life,” Enberg said. He went on to work as the playby-play television announcer for the San Diego Padres for the past seven seasons, but his experiences are not limited to just the MLB. Enberg has also broadcast NFL games, Wimbledon tennis matches and the Olympic Games. Enberg said throughout his career, calling baseball games and Wimbledon were his all-time favorites. “The best (game to announce) is baseball,” he said. “It’s the most difficult and most challenging. There are long pauses and then there are exciting moments. My favorite event is Wimbledon. It’s two weeks, and it’s the greatest players in the sport, men and women, trying to secure their place in history. Wimbledon brought out my passion for sports.” Enberg has won numerous awards throughout his career. He’s been awarded 13 Sports Emmy’s, nine National Sportscaster of the Year awards from the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and the Pete Rozelle Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Football battles EMU for seventh win in final game of season By Austin Denean Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
After the Central Michigan football team snapped its three-game losing streak and earned its sixth win of the season last week, it will head to Ypsilanti to play Eastern Michigan on Tuesday. The Chippewas are looking to turn a bowl game appearance from a probability to a certainty. Despite carrying a bowl eligible 6-5 overall record following CMU’s 27-20 victory against Ohio last Tuesday night at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, a bowl game selection is not guaranteed. In last week’s postgame press conference, junior defensive end Joe Ostman said the team understands it needs to pick up a seventh win Tuesday.
Also at 6-5, the Eagles (3-4 MidAmerican Conference) enter the matchup a week removed from a 31-24 defeat to Northern Illinois. The Eagles won just one game a season ago. “(EMU) may be the most improved team in college football,” head coach John Bonamego said. “They’ve done a fantastic job this season.” EMU’s offense ranks third in the MAC in points scored, led by junior quarterback Brogan Roback. Through 11 games, Roback has passed for more than 2,000 yards and 14 touchdowns on 57.8 percent passing accuracy. “(Roback) is a good passer that they will take shots down the field with,” Bonamego said. “But they also do a good job getting the ball out quick so it’s hard to get hits on him.
It will be a good matchup for us.” The Chippewas are coming into the game with momentum coming off of a victory on Senior Night, which has led to a good week of practice, Bonamego said. CMU’s leading rusher Devon Spalding is expected to return from injury this week in limited capacity. The junior running back has been held out of the last two games with a shoulder injury, but returned to practice this week. True freshman running back Johnathan Ward is also back from injury, but isn’t at full strength yet, Bonamego said. Kickoff for the EMU game is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday in Rynearson Stadium. The game will be televised on ESPN3.

Rush, Conklin develop connection, lead football to bowl eligibility By Greg Wickliffe Assistant Sports Editor sports@cm-life.com
Before the season began, many expected Cooper Rush to lead the Central Michigan football team offensively. But not many fans knew Tyler Conklin would have a breakout season for the Chippewas. Rush and Conklin helped CMU claim a 27-20 win against Ohio on senior night last Tuesday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. Although Rush only found Conklin, a transfer tight end from Northwood University, for two receptions, both catches were touchdowns. The pair connected for the go-ahead score that gave CMU the lead late in the fourth quarter. “I had to throw it. It was one-on-one and the (Ohio defender) played it pretty well actually, but he made an unbelievable catch,” Rush said. “That’s what great players do. They make plays for their teammates.” With an Ohio defender draped on him, Conklin stretched out with his left hand and snagged the ball out of mid-air. The catch snapped a threegame losing streak, made CMU bowl eligible and led ESPN’s SportsCenter Top 10 plays that night. “My phone is blowing up right now,” he said

Tuesday night. “I’m happy about it.” Rush and Conklin have combined for 37 completions for 514 yards and six touchdowns
during the 2016 season. Conklin said his performance this season has been in large part due to his relationship with Rush.
Rich Drummond | Assistant Photo Editor Junior tight end Tyler Conklin pulls in a touchdown around a defender during the game against Ohio on Nov. 15 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
“(Our chemistry) has developed a lot,” he said. “I’m sick he’s going to be gone (next season). We do a lot of stuff together and being around each other, that’s really the key.” Rush said with each week, he gained more and more faith in his tight end. “He’s a guy that when I look back, I’ll be able to say he was one of my favorite players to play with,” Rush said. “Because of his work ethic, attention to detail and because he wants to get better every day. We definitely developed a nice relationship.” Conklin has made plays for his teammates all season. He entered the 2016 campaign with little production at tight end. While Rush was leading the Chippewas to a 7-6 record in 2015, Conklin sat behind former tight end Ben McCord. Through 13 games last season, Conklin had only caught six passes for 95 yards. Though the star quarterback from Charlotte may have had all eyes on him coming into the season, the junior tight end from L’Anse Creuse North High School has turned heads with dazzling one-hand grabs and acrobatic catches such as the one from Tuesday. “Tyler’s a great athlete,” said head coach John Bonamego. “He’s his own harshest critic. He’s got a tremendous work ethic and he’s trying to get better every day. He’s a matchup problem for people and he has a bright future in this game.” The tandem of Rush to Conklin is guaranteed at least one final game to add to their bid for All-MAC honors next Tuesday against Eastern Michigan at Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti.

Women’s hoops splits Preseason WNIT games at McGuirk By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
After losing to host Notre Dame 107-47 on Nov. 11 to begin the Preseason Women’s National Invitational Tournament, women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara said her team would bounce back with a “short-term memory.” Team captain Jewel Cotton appeared more than ready to bounce back Friday against Furman. The senior forward scored a career-high 26 points and led her team to an 81-71 victory at McGuirk Arena on Friday. “I’m just doing a lot of visualization and seeing the ball go into the basket before I shoot it,” Cotton said.“Having that confidence and not doing anything special (is important). I feel like I’m enhancing what I started last season. I feel stronger mentally and physically.” The Chippewas held a 21-point lead early in the
fourth quarter against the Paladins. They never lost the lead after the first quarter. A 3-pointer added a spark for Central Michigan’s offense as they shot 13-of-25 from behind the arc. The team finished 27-of-60 from the field. However, the Chippewas were unable to carry their momentum into Saturday’s game against Elon, losing 7157 to Elon. Guevara called the loss “disappointing.” “(Elon) had a nice inside and outside attack and we had trouble stopping it,” Guevara said. “We just have to get back at it and really work on our defense and establish our inside game as well as our outside shooting.” Junior guard Cassie Breen lead the Chippewas with 21 points Saturday — 11 coming from the free-throw strike. Cotton contributed 16 points and eight rebounds. Elon started the game on a 9-0 run and CMU could not get their 3-point game going

from the start. CMU finished the first quarter 0-7 from 3-point range and finished the game 4-of-18 — 22 percent. The Chippewas allowed a total of 20 points off of turnovers and got out-rebounded 35-22 against the Phoenix. Breen said she believes the team still has confidence in itself, but has things to work on if it wants to compete for a conference championship in 2017. “It’s still a little high, but I think we know we need to
work on some things,” she said. “We know that we have each others’ back(s) at the end of the day when it counts — when conference (games) start. These games are just building up for that. “These bumps and stumbles we face in the preseason are just the opening games that are tests before the big exam, which is the MAC Tournament.” The Chippewas take on Oakland at at 7 p.m. Tuesday at McGuirk Arena.

MAC-best 15 CMU soccer players named to All-Academic Team By Von Lozon Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
There are 124 women soccer players from the Mid-American Conference who made the 2016 Academic All-MAC Team. Fifteen of those are from Central Michigan — the most in the MAC. To qualify, athletes must have a minimum 3.2 GPA and played in at least half of the games during the season. Seniors Christen Chiesa, Kaylin Hoomaian, Kristen Knutson, Samantha Maher, Taylor Potts and Eliza Van de Kerkhove, juniors Savannah Beetcher, McKay Matheson, Lauren Sherry, Meghan Sweeney and Jamie Rademacher and sophomores Mary Carlson, Madi-
son Costner, Shannon Magnan and Madison Pogarch are the 15 Chippewas that made the Academic All-MAC team in 2016. Chiesa is one of 12 players from the conference who made the team with a 4.0 grade point average. This also marks the third straight year Chiesa, Hoomaian and Van de Kerkhove were awarded the academic honor. It’s the second straight year Beetcher, Matheson and Sherry made it. Chiesa also took home CMU’s 2016 Dick Enberg Scholar-Athlete of the Year at the football team’s final home game Tuesday against the Ohio Bobcats. This award is given to a student-athlete who has at least a 3.2 GPA, has performed with distinction in their sport and is considered a team leader. Freshmen are not eligible to be selected to the team.

Baseball facility scheduled to open in January of 2017 By McKenzie Sanderson Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com
Construction of the new Baseball Performance Development Center on the northeast side of Theunissen Stadium is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of the spring semester of 2017. The $2 million complex was entirely funded through donations raised by University Athletics, said Linda Slater, director of plant engineering and planning. Head baseball coach Steve Jaksa said the facility will benefit his program by allowing extra training during the off-season. “It’s set up for a lot of individual workouts,” he said. “It will benefit us from a hitting standpoint and it will give our pitchers a chance to work on their moves with a mound that’s the same as our game mound. It will give us the opportunity to get in there at times that we might not be able to get in somewhere else.” Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said the facility will help alleviate a full practice schedule in the Indoor Athletic Complex and provide a space for the baseball program to host instructional high school and youth base-
ball camps. “It will begin to alleviate our space crunch on the (IAC) turf bay,” he said. “With the addition of more programs and certainly the weather issues we have here, we have very limited indoor space. That will allow us some flexibility in scheduling. “Walls are going up. We seem to be at a good standing and are moving ahead in a positive way.” The facility was made possible by a $500,000 anonymous matching donation announced on Sep. 28, 2015. The donor additionally pledged another $500,000 to match other donations to the facility dollar-for-dollar. The donation is the largest monetary commitment in the program’s history and one of the largest in athletic department history, according to CMU athletics. “To be successful, you have to have some people step forward,” Jaksa said. “By getting those lead gifts, we were able to get the momentum so that we could start filtering in different amounts of money under those gifts to reach our goal.” Left-handed high school pitching prospect Sam Goodman visited the Chippewas’ Skill Day practice in September 2015.

native said it’s appealing to a recruit to see a university and fan base invest in its team. “It’s good to know (CMU) is going in the right direction and doing good things,” Goodman said. “(CMU) being a winning program makes you want to come. Giving players a place to work out and train and hit is big time. When you’re playing 12 months a year, it makes a big difference.” Sports Editor Andrew Surma contributed to this article.
