Student entrepreneurs to compete in Make-A-Pitch Dec.6 By Farhan Coleman Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Aspiring student entrepreneurs will have a chance to showcase their ideas at the eighth annual Make-A-Pitch competition at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 6 in the Grawn Hall atrium. The yearly event hosted by the College of Business Administration is structured similarly to the television show “Shark Tank,” and will see students work in separate teams to present a two-minute pitch of a business idea they’ve come up with. Each idea will be heard by a panel of 12 judges who will give teams feedback on their ideas and the effectiveness of their presentation. A total of 30 teams are expected to compete for various monetary and recognition prizes. The prizes include a first place prize of $500, a second place prize of $100 and a third-place prize of $50. Make-A-Pitch is meant to help teams decide if they want to continue to pursue their business ideas into the spring semester for the New Venture Competition.

File Photo | Alison Zywicki South Lyon senior Matthew Finneran presents his elevator pitch during the Make-a-Pitch competition on Dec. 1, 2016 in Grawn Hall.

Taking place on April 13, the New Venture Competition is structured like a more rigorous version of Make-A-Pitch. Teams will give a

10-minute pitch about their idea for a product or service to judges for the chance to win the $30,000 award for Best Venture.

At last year’s event, more than $77,000 in awards were given to student teams. Bruce Marble, executive director of the Isabella Bank Institute serves as the facilitator of the Make-A-Pitch and New Venture programs. Marble believes Make-A-Pitch is the first step in helping students take an idea they have and do something with it. “I want to see people take the first step by deciding to be there,” Marble said. “It’s so empowering to take the first step, take your idea and convert it to action.” The competition comprises two rounds, with nine teams moving into the second round to compete for the prizes. The competition will be an opportunity for the teams to receive feedback on their ideas from judges who have experience in the entrepreneurial field. It will also give students the opportunity to network. “We see a lot of students who are interested in new ventures, but they’re just not sure they have a good enough idea and what we tell people is that with Make-A-Pitch, everyone should try it,” Marble said.

Brown University, Columbia University, the University of Minnesota and Arizona provide free menstrual products to students. Student Government Association senator Lyndi Rose is trying to add Central Michigan University to that list. “A Resolution to Support Making Menstrual Hygiene Products Free Across Campus” introduced at the Nov. 27 SGA meeting, proposes to have free tampons in women’s, men’s and genderneutral bathrooms in every bathroom on campus. SGA Vice President Derek Sturvist said the piece is an opportunity to create a campus that accommodates every student. Sturvist mentioned students’ uncertain financial situations as a reason to support the legislation. The resolution states “students at (CMU) may experience health risks due to lack of funds necessary to purchase menstrual hygiene products.” Senator Mary Chiejina supported the legisla-

tion and said students who lack access to menstrual hygiene products are more likely to skip class or leave during class if the individual begins to menstruate. Randville junior Jade Driscoll supports the legislation with the concern of finances in mind. “Making tampons, pads, sanitary napkins accessible in the bathrooms on campus (is necessary) because not everyone has access to those things. Not everyone has the money to pay for them on their own.” Breckenridge junior Reed Schmitz feels the legislation sounds reasonable. “People with a certain set of body parts do this thing they can’t control every month and it seems like the least we could do to offer them some help with that,” Schmitz said. Others, however, hadn’t heard about the discussion. “I didn’t realize this was a thing that was being debated,” Grand Blanc sophomore Hannah Fox said. “It would be really cool if that could happen.” The legislation will be voted on during the SGA General Board meeting Dec. 4.

PI KAPPA PHI SUSPENSION REMAINS INDEFINITE DURING HAZING INVESTIGATION

Greg Horner | Staff Reporter City commissioners discuss the proposed zoning ordinance on Nov. 27 at Mount Pleasant City Hall.

City Commission debates zoning ordinance at session By Greg Horner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

City commissioners supported changes to some parts of Mount Pleasant’s proposed zoning ordinance — but they didn’t agree on everything. Commissioners discussed components of the proposed code that have drawn criticism from some members of the community. At a work session Nov. 28, they gave directions to city staff to alter parts of the ordinance. but did not reach a consensus on whether to alter changes that would rezone parts of Franklin, University and Lansing streets from multi-tenant housing to single-family residential. Commissioner Jim Holton was clear in his opposition to the idea that families would move into an area that has predominantly been occupied by students. “I think we would have better luck with a spotted unicorn walking down this aisle right now than for that to happen,” Holton said. “I just don’t see it.” Brian Wright, a planner with Town Planning Urban Design Collective (TPUDC), was present at the meeting and explained the reasoning behind the change. TPUDC is a town planning firm, located in Tennessee, that has been working with Mount Pleasant to draft the ordinance. “What we heard overwhelmingly during the public process was concern about the line and its encroachment in the neighborhood,” Wright said. The proposed ordinance is a character-based code. Instead of focusing solely on the zoning, it also takes into account the look and feel of a neighborhood. Wright said north of campus matches with surrounding single-family areas more closely, and added the current zoning is irrational.

Mayor Kathy Ling said the change isn’t about who is living in the house, but what kind of housing is built. She said Mount Pleasant has enough dorm-style apartments where people rent a room with several others. “What we don’t have are many options for people who want to rent a house or live with one other person,” Ling said. She added families wouldn’t immediately move in and the demographic changes would happen over the course of many years. A new kind of Mission Street The commission discussed changes to Mission Street that would encourage the development of student housing south of Bellows Street, require new buildings to be located next to the street with parking located toward the back and allow five-story buildings with mixed residential and commercial properties south of Bellows Street. Commissioners did not agree to make changes to the that portion of the draft. Holton supports building student housing on the west side of Mission Street but said development on the east side, which could increase the number of pedestrians crossing, would be a “death trap waiting to happen.” City Commissioner Tony Kulick said he would support incentivizing developers to build closer to the street, but worried that heavy restrictions could drive businesses to Union Township. Wright pointed to a design philosophy that shows having shorter viewing distances on either side of a street encourages slower driving. In regard to businesses moving to Union Township, he said commissioners have to ask themselves if those concerns outweigh their desire to change Mission Street.

Pi Kappa Phi has been suspended indefinitely as of Nov. 15 after not complying with prior sanctions. The fraternity is also under investigation for hazing. Pi Kappa Phi was temporarily suspended last spring as the Office of Student Conduct conducted an investigation, said Director of Student Conduct Tom Idema. Following the investigation, the organization was recognized again on campus but was issued sanctions that it did not adhere to. Idema declined to elaborate on the sanctions due to the current

investigation. The fraternity was suspended indefinitely, rather than temporarily, because the group has a “prior history” with student conduct, Idema said, which involved alcohol and risk management issues. Following the investigation, Idema said the university will work with the fraternity’s national headquarters to replace “indefinitely” with a potential return date and reach an agreement about what action would be appropriate. “When they didn’t follow

those sanctions, the result of that was to suspend the group,” Idema said. “Now we have a hazing allegation to look into.” For this reason, Idema said it doesn’t make sense to set a lenth of time for the suspension before the investigation is complete. The suspension means Pi Kappa Phi should not be operating as a fraternity. After the investigation, decisions will be made about the organization’s status moving forward.

Without net neutrality, ISPs can create “fast lanes” and tolls are created for those who can’t.

Save the internet Graphic by Alyssa Templeton

Killing net neutrality means corporate control of our information Few things should scare you as much as a corporate-controlled internet. It’s our access to news, friends, family, shopping — more than we can list here. On Dec. 14, that might change forever. Censorship, extra fees and slower speeds are the future of the internet in America if the Federal Communications Commission repeals net neutrality. We can stop this. There is still time to save the internet by letting the FCC know you support net neutrality. Net neutrality is a simple principle — internet service providers (ISPs) must treat all online content the same and cannot discriminate against, or charge users differently, for access to content. Our unfiltered and unhindered access to information on the internet will be subject to the approval of corporations if net neutrality is taken from us. The internet is like a freeway — everyone can move at the same speed no matter what vehicle you can afford. Net neutrality has prevented ISPs from separating the internet into “fast lanes” and

“slow lanes” or creating tolls for viewing content. You are free to view every website or EDITORIAL blog, news site, video streaming service and online retailer. The FCC rcould make corporations the gatekeepers of the internet with the power to prioritize or block websites. The corporations that own ISPs could force websites and search engines, such as Google or Bing, to negotiate lucrative deals with them or punish them through reduced download speeds. Companies like Comcast, which owns NBC and is attempting to purchase Time Warner Cable, could punish other networks by refusing to allow access to its competitors or by blocking your access to other news sites. Imagine trying to binge watch your new favorite Netflix show, while suffering through terrible buffering — all because Hulu paid Verizon for quicker speeds. Imagine trying to load your favorite website, but finding it’s blocked because your ISP determined it “threatens the business

of ” a news site it owns. Ajit Pai, FCC chairman, said repealing net neutrality will not threaten a free and open internet. He pointed out that ISPs have “promised” not to block or create fast lanes on the internet like Comcast did in 2014. “To be clear, Comcast has never offered paid prioritization,” said Comcast Senior Executive Vice President David Cohen when the FCC was crafting net neutrality rules in 2014. “We are not offering it today, and we’re not considering entering into any paid prioritization creating fast lane deals with content owners.” Unsurprisingly, that changed. Earlier this year, when the FCC started to debate the future of net neutrality, Comcast filed a public comment stating that a “flexible approach to prioritization (of content on the internet) may be warranted and may be beneficial to the public.” They’ve backed away from their promise not to prioritize content by creating fast lanes. Comcast has already proved it won’t honor its word. In 2014, the Washington Post reported Comcast slowed Netflix’s download speeds when the

two companies were negotiating in 2013. Netflix’s download speeds plummeted 26 percent until February 2014, when a deal was reached and the speeds increased. Contact your representative in Congress and U.S. senator. Visit www.house.gov and type your ZIP code into the “Find Your Representative” search box. Contact your Senator by visiting www.senate.gov and click on “Senators” and then sort them by state. Tell them you support net neutrality in full. Tell them they must lobby the FCC to stop the repeal. You can also make public comments on the FCC’s website. Go to gofccyourself.com and click on “+Express.” Write that you support net neutrality in full and do not want any changes to the rule. Our free and open internet is at risk. Corporations might want the FCC to stop protecting the internet, but we’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. It will take everyone working together and making our voices heard to stop this. We cannot sit out this fight.

The trials of protesters, journalists threaten our First Amendment

President Donald Trump’s inauguration was less than a year ago and that day threatened more than the American political status quo — it brought an unprecedented threat to the First Amendment. During Trump’s inauguration, a group called the “black bloc,” an anarchist/ anti-fascist group, marched through Washington D.C. and essentially rioted. More than 200 people were arrested. Two of the people are freelance journalists Alexei Wood and Aaron Cantu. Wood was traveling with the group and live streamed their march. He recorded the rioting and police roundups. His video is the central piece of the prosecution’s case, because it shows “the words and actions of participants in the ‘black bloc’ during the riot and captures the destruction and violence during the riot,” according to the U.S. district attorney prosecuting the case. The people will be tried in groups, all

facing charges of rioting, conspiracy to riot, inciting others to riot and multiple acts of property destruction. If convicted they could face up to 60 years in prison. The prosecution is using a D.C. law that places collective responsibility on the group, meaning an individual is guilty of crimes other members of their group committed because they tolerated or ignored, even if they didn’t actively engage in a crime. Laws like these are threatening our First Amendment. Our freedom to protest is one of the building blocks on which all our other freedoms rest. Our ability to protest, dissent and associate with groups without

being held accountable for a few bad actors is what sets America apart from dictatorships and oppressive regimes. People are not guilty by association, but laws like the one in D.C. have made everyone around “black bloc” guilty, whether they were a part of the group or not. In Wood’s video, you can see the violence and destruction was caused by a few members of the group, not all 200 of them. The prosecution is using an excessively broad law to convict innocent people. The possible prosecution of more than 200 people is what makes this law so dangerous. If the prosecution is successful, the fear is that other major cities will draft similar laws. Political dissent and protests in America are in danger. If every city has these collective responsibility laws, police could arrest entire protests should some people get out of hand. These kinds of laws will stifle political

gatherings and make people fearful of joining protests because they might be caught up in arrests. The possible adoption of these laws not only threatens our freedom to protest — it threatens our freedom of the press. Wood and Cantu each face 60 years in prison if convicted. If a federal prosecutor can successfully indict and convict a journalist for covering protests with a collective responsibility law, then this could set a precedent journalists won’t be protected by the First Amendment — should they cover riots or other violent situations. In order to cover major events like protests, journalists are there in person reporting. They’re near protesters, talking to them, taking photographs and taking videos. Last year, Central Michigan Life reporters and photographers covered Trump’s inauguration. If they had been near the riots and tried

to take photographs or interview people they could very well have been arrested and be on trial. Collective responsibility laws make journalists members of protests. Journalism becomes a crime. Freedom House’s report on global freedom of the press states that from 2006 to 2016 the U.S. has fallen seven places, from 16 to 23. Our freedom of the press is in danger. If Wood and Cantu are convicted, it will be in even more danger. In the future, political protests could carry collective responsibility and journalists could be arrested for their reporting. Without reporters there, we wouldn’t have the opportunity to know the news, stay informed and learn what actually happened between protesters and police. These seemingly small, unnoticed trials and police arrests should worry everyone. Our freedoms are in danger.

We’ve destroyed what Thanksgiving is supposed to be — a day of family Sonya Smith is a manager at Five Below in Canton, Mich. She works 8 hours a day, almost seven days a week. Her job affords her very little time off, except holidays. Looking forward to having those days to spend time with her family and catch up with friends who come from out of town, she waited to see her work schedule and realized she had to work Thanksgiving night and Black Friday. Her holiday, if you can call it that, was cut short because she’s part of the new American workforce, which is at the mercy of consumers who camp out and wait to get a bargain deal on a TV.

James Paxton Columnist

Like millions of Americans, she’s seen her Thanksgiving destroyed by corporations that whip us, the consumer, into a frenzy by promising the “lowest prices of the year.” Thanksgiving weekend is supposed to be a special time for families. Moments like carving the turkey, football games, pumpkin pie, parades — all of this is meant to be done with family. But now, it seems more people are

in a hurry to go shopping at night or camp out before Black Friday. We’ve made Thanksgiving take a back seat to Black Friday deals. Stores open at 5 p.m. on Thanksgiving and close at midnight, only to reopen at 6 a.m. on Black Friday. I know I’m young, but I remember when there were no stores open on Thanksgiving night. Sure, people did camp out before Black Friday, but it seemed people back then understood that Thanksgiving was a day to relax. Black Friday was when we did our shopping. It’s like we’ve forgotten what Thanksgiving is for. We’ve forgotten how to sit down

and take a moment to be thankful and be with family. We’ve become so consumed with needing presents for Christmas or having to buy an iPhone because it’s on sale that we’ve forgotten to be thankful for what we have. Our mass consumerism has destroyed Thanksgiving — not only for ourselves but for our neighbors who have to work and their families they have to leave. Some of us probably had to work or had family members who had to work. I can understand saving money and looking for deals, but when did that replace family traditions and make us forget what Thanksgiving is really about?

We’ve made a day where we’re supposed to give thanks into a day of want. Wanting more stuff. Wanting a TV, clothes or a laptop because it’s 30 percent off. We’ve done this at the expense of ourselves and others. Thanksgiving should be about family and Black Friday should be about shopping. This will only change when we decide enough is enough and refuse to work and refuse to go shopping on Thanksgiving. Maybe in the future, stores will be open all day on Thanksgiving if we don’t decide enough is enough. I think we need to ask ourselves if we really want that to be the future.

Dave Hunter’s legacy lives on as community continues to mourn By Greg Horner Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Dave Hunter arrived in Mount Pleasant in 1975 with a bag full of clothes and his car. After 42 years operating bars and restaurants, he was one of the most successful business owners in town. Almost every day, Dave Hunter would walk through the doors of the Wayside Central and his other establishments and work, according to his son John Hunter. He was working on the day he was rushed to the University of Michigan Health Care System in Ann Arbor. He died Nov. 21, the following day. A funeral mass was held for Hunter on Nov. 27 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The 76-yearold leaves behind a family legacy as the owner of the Wayside Central, O’Kelly’s Sports Bar & Grill, Hunter’s Ale House, Hunter’s Handmade Brewery and the Cabin. He is survived by his wife, Cheryl, two sons, John and James, and three grandchildren, David, Dylan and Haven. John Hunter called his father a self-made man. Though he was an avid supporter of Central Michigan University, he never went to college and instead worked hard as an entrepreneur who instilled his work ethic in his employees. He cared deeply for his employees and his community.

KAPPA ALPHA PSI COLLECTS WINTER APPAREL FOR CHILDREN Members of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity hope to bring warmth to children in Saginaw this winter. Ja-Wan Gardner of Kappa Alpha Psi started a collection drive — Koats, Gloves and Love — with the upcoming season in mind. Donations began being collected Nov. 16 and are being collected until Dec. 6. “Our fraternity is all about service and I always saw myself giving back to children when I was younger,” Ja-Wan said. “Once I surrounded myself with the right people to organize the event, we helped each other by keeping one another accountable until we got the event in motion.”

The drive calls for lightly worn winter apparel for children and parents in Saginaw. The fraternity decided to focus on the inner city, where they recognized there were children without winter coats. They also have alumni to help them reach a group of people in need this season at a church, Center of Attraction Outreach. “It was the upcoming season, and we know a lot of children won’t have warm winter apparel through the season,” Ja-Wan said. “We have an alumni member in our fraternity whose father has a church in Saginaw for us to take the coats to. Our goal is to get people gathered there and we

will hand deliver them.” The fraternity’s primary donation drop is in the lower level of the Bovee University Center, outside of the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center. Other boxes have been placed in the Towers residence halls and North, East, South and West campus buildings. “During the holiday season, people are always looking for opportunities to give back,” said Deonte Gardner of Kappa Alpha Psi. “This event gives everybody a chance to help those in need of warm clothing this winter season.” -Tess DeGayner, Staff Reporter

A Facebook post John Hunter wrote announcing his father’s death received a tidal wave of responses. “I’m truly grateful for the opportunity your father created for me and so many others along their way with a pitstop in Mount Pleasant,” wrote a former employee. “Working for your family allowed me to support myself through college, learn to bartend, and make meaningful friendships.” The news of Dave’s death affected Jim Holton, a city commissioner and the owner of Mountain Town Station, who called Hunter a mentor. “He started off with nothing and built himself the American Dream,” Holton said. Holton also praised Dave Hunter’s humility. He said he was an inspiration for business owners in Mount Pleasant and he avoided notoriety or praise for his work. “He always made people smile,” Holton said. “He was a down-to-earth guy and never cared about money. He had a passion to see his businesses to grow, but it’s because he wanted to leave something for his family and I know his legacy will carry on.” John Hunter said he’s in discussions to develop a scholarship at CMU. There are also plans to hold a baseball tournament in his honor.

CITY REMINDS RESIDENTS OF SEASONAL OVERNIGHT PARKING REGULATIONS The City of Mount Pleasant is reminding residents of seasonal overnight parking laws that start Friday. Parking on the street and in city lots is prohibited in non-downtown areas from 2-5 a.m. from Dec.1 to April 1, 2018. The city issued the reminder in a press release Wednesday, Nov. 29. Throughout the entire year, on-street parking is prohibited downtown from 4-6 a.m. For those that have

Pep band personifies CMU spirit through the power of music By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Though McGuirk Arena was just halfway filled when Central Michigan University’s women’s basketball team battled Vanderbilt University Nov. 14, there was no lack of noise and school spirit. Cheering on the team from beginning to end was the 6th Man Band, CMU basketball’s pep band. Members stayed on their feet and filled the arena with fight songs and cheering. The pep band has grown in recent years both in size and involvement, comprising about 70 members on its official roster and an average of 20-to-35 members playing at each game. Its goal is to bring excitement to CMU basketball games and to support the team, no matter the score or size of the crowd. The group’s name refers to acting as the “sixth teammate” on the court. Livonia senior Brendan Wilk serves as the current student director of the 6th Man Band, in addition to acting as the drum major of the CMU Marching Band. “Our focus is just bringing the energy to McGuirk

Arena,” Wilk said. “When the team is fired up from us, sometimes they play better. The work is all on them, but I like to think having that better vibe, getting the electricity really going, has a more positive impact on everybody in the arena.” Even when students aren’t there to support the basketball teams, the 6th Man Band still “brings the hype,” said Owosso sophomore Kyle Wendling, now in his second year with the pep band. “A lot of people don’t really go to women’s basketball games, especially during the week,” Wendling said. “It’s disappointing, but we still bring the hype. The energy is always 100 percent from us, no matter if it’s men’s or women’s basketball.” The band’s presence in the game goes further than just playing music. Wilk said the band enjoys messing with opposing teams through cheers. The band will usually count down with the shot clock during the game. Sometimes for the opposing team, they will start their countdown early to throw them off. “There was a women’s game a couple of weeks ago where we got (the other team) five

times,” Wilk said. “They get flustered because we’re counting down three when they actually have like six more seconds, and then they’ll just shoot the ball up and air ball it. It’s hilarious, it cracks me and the band up. That’s a legal way we actually affect

the game, but it’s all in good spirit.” The enthusiastic presence of the 6th Man Band is wellknown in the CMU athletic community. CMU wrestling head coach Tom Borrelli showed up to a band rehearsal recently to show his respect

and to ask if the wrestling team could have a pep band of their own. Members of the pep band appeared at the CMU wrestling meet against Michigan State University on Nov. 17 at Borrelli’s request to encourage more energy at meets.

Wilk said the band hopes to perform at more wrestling matches in the future. Women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara said the band’s name is appropriate, as the enthusiasm, creativity and energy they bring to games is a huge component to the team’s success. The basketball teams and the band interact with each other regularly off the court. Before the beginning of each basketball season, the two groups will often hold a pizza party to promote interaction and communication, which shows when the band and team play off of each other on the court. “(6th Man Band is) very invested in (the women’s) program and the men’s program,” Guevara said. “The band is always very into it, because they know our players.” The Nov. 14 game against Vanderbilt ended with a 9175 victory for CMU, which Guevara is happy to attribute to the spirit that came from the 6th Man Band. “I think our band contributes to every victory,” Guevara said. “When (players) get running, and they can feel the energy there and they can hear everybody, you can feel that.”

Man arrested after marijuana bust in on-campus parking lot By Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The following incidents were reported to the Central Michigan University Police Department between Nov. 20-22.

NOV. 22 A wallet was found outside the Towers Residence Hall around 5 p.m. It contained $50 and was turned over to CMUPD, said Lt.

Cameron Wassman. The wallet is pending pickup. Residence Life staff in Saxe Hall noticed a marijuana odor in an unoccupied room belonging to a 19-year-old man. CMU police searched the room with a warrant and discovered open alcohol, two grams of marijuana, unknown pills and various forms of drug paraphernalia, including bongs and a scale. The items were tested and the police are awaiting the results, Wassman said.

NOV. 21 A 21-year-old woman had $80 stolen from her purse that was stored in a chemical room on Nov. 17. Wassman said there are no suspects. A 21-year-old man’s permit was seen on his vehicle in lot 62 between Nov. 18 and Nov. 21 after he had reported it stolen. The incident was turned over to the Office of Student Conduct, Wassman said.

NOV. 20 An 18-year-old man was arrested for charges of possession and delivery of controlled substance and minor in possession of alcohol. An officer on patrol spotted a suspicious vehicle, which the man was driving, at 10 p.m. in lot 70. The officer smelled marijuana and THC wax after approaching the vehicle. Open alcohol and other drug-related materials were discovered upon inspection. CMU police discovered a small

amount of THC wax and eightand-a-half grams of marijuana. Three others in the car, two 19-year-old men and a 20-yearold man, were referred to the Office of Student Conduct. One person in the car was a medical marijuana patient and had a valid card, Wassman said. A bike valued at $100 belonging to an 18-year-old woman was stolen from the north of campus. The bike was secured with a cable-style lock. There are

no suspects, Wassman said. The theft took place Nov. 1 and the bike was not registered. Two 18-year-old women reported harassment in September after the mother of their Carey Hall roommate, an 18-year-old woman, made threatening comments. Her daughter broke a TV and refused to pay for it. The mother later contacted CMU police to make complaints. No criminal charges were filed, Wassman said.

Nine of the nation’s top 20 teams will wrestle at the annual Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational this weekend, including No. 19 Central Michigan. During the 2016 competition, the Chippewas took sixth of 34 teams, 11 of which were ranked. The two-day affair begins at 9 a.m. Friday, Dec. 1. CMU head coach Tom Borrelli is aware of the tight competition his team will face, but sees it as a good opportunity to improve. “We’d like to come out of (Las Vegas) with some guys that move up in the rankings,” he said. “(We’d like to) have some guys that get noticed for the first time. That’s the purpose of going to this tournament.” Around 30 teams will take the mat in Las Vegas, including No. 8 Minnesota, No. 9 Michigan, No. 12 Arizona, No. 13 Nebraska, No. 14 Cornell and No. 16 Northern Iowa. No. 2 Ohio State will be the top-ranked team at the invitational. No. 10 Virginia Tech, which handed CMU its first loss of the season on Nov. 19, will also attend. The Chippewas’ 26-6 loss in Blacksburg, Virginia dropped them to 1-1 on the season. More than 100 wrestlers ranked in their

respective weight classes will be competing, including five of whom come from CMU. Four of CMU’s ranked athletes also placed in the top five at last season’s invitational, with No. 14 senior Colin Heffernan (157) making it the farthest. He fell in the finals, 3-2. The highest-ranked Chippewa is senior Jordan Ellingwood (184) at No. 8, after junior Justin Oliver (149) fell three spots to No. 9. Ellingwood finished fifth at last year’s tournament. Oliver lost in the semifinals to the eventual champion, Micah Jordan of Ohio State. Sophomore Mason Smith (141), who rose to No. 15 after not surrendering a point in his previous two meets, also took fifth last year. Senior C.J. Brucki (174) is the fifth to be currently ranked, sitting at No. 16. There will only be two athletes at Las Vegas who are currently ranked No. 1 in their class: Zahid Valencia (174) of Arizona State and Kollin Moore (197) of OSU. “It’s the best tournament we go to all year,” Borrelli said. “There’s certain weight classes where there might be a 32-man bracket and 15 guys who are ranked. "(Our expectations) are same as always. We want to compete well and represent ourselves the right way.”

Sophomore Ervin switches from football to men’s basketball By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Allissa Rusco | Staff Photographer Sophomore forward Austin Ervin poses for a portrait on Oct. 19 at McGuirk Arena.

Sophomore Austin Ervin is attempting to do something few college athletes succeed in — switching sports. While at St. Johns High School, Ervin was recruited by Central Michigan to play football. He decided to commit to the 2015 class as a tight end. By pledging to play football, Ervin had to give up his passion — basketball. After three seasons on the CMU football team, Ervin decided this year to get back on the hardwood and join the men’s basketball team. “I want to be on a basketball court,” Ervin said. “It’s where I want to spend the rest of my life.” Ervin doesn’t just plan on playing the rest of his career. Instead, his dream is to coach at the collegiate level when his playing days are over. “My plan was to get back in it somehow,” Ervin said. “After two years, I just figured it

was time. It ended up being the best decision I’ve ever made. I love it” As a member of the football team, Ervin took a redshirt in 2015 and played two games as a backup tight end in 2016. In high school, he caught 34 career passes for 499 yards and four touchdowns. He earned Associated Press Division III All-State special mention in 2014. On the basketball court, Ervin was a two-time captain and averaged a double-double in his senior season. CMU men’s basketball head coach Keno Davis heard great things from the football staff and decided to give Ervin a shot as a member of the basketball team. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound sophomore has given the Chippewas an inside presence on the court in practice and in games. “He brings a physical presence,” Davis said. “He’s making (forwards) Innocent Nwoko and Luke Meyer better by being able to beat up on them a little bit in practice.” Being such a physical presence, the biggest change for Ervin is dealing with his weight.

While playing football, he attempted to gain and maintain weight. Now, he has been working to lose weight. Despite the struggles of switching from football to basketball, Ervin is enjoying his time back on the basketball court. “There was a lot of great memories with football,” Ervin said. “I loved the guys, loved the travel, loved the college atmosphere. I don’t regret my last two years, but I’m happy with where I am now.” Ervin feels closer with the basketball team than he ever did with the football team, he said. Due to his dream of coaching, he continuously follows assistant coaches Kevin Gamble, Kyle Gerdeman and Jeff Smith, along with Davis. “They have helped me a lot and know what they are taking about,” Ervin said. “I’ve always wanted to coach, so it’s great to learn from some of the best.” In his sixth season as the coach of the Chippewas, Davis is excited about Ervin’s love for the game. “It’s great having him on the team,” Davis said.

FROM ONE QUARTERBACK TO ANOTHER Poljan prepares to receive play caller spot from starter Morris By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Tony Poljan Height: 6’ 7” Weight: 237 ibs HS: Lansing Catholic

During spring and fall practice, quarterbacks Shane Morris and Tony Poljan were in a heated battle for the starting job. As the season draws to a close for the Chippewas, there is hardly any competition between the two quarterbacks. Instead, there is a passing of the torch from Morris to Poljan. “I’ve been learning a lot from Shane,” Poljan said. “I have been taking a lot of reps at practice and I’m looking to take over next year.” Poljan redshirted his first season with CMU in 2016. After Cooper Rush departed for the NFL, it seemed as if it was Poljan’s time to shine. Instead, Morris transferred from the University of Michigan and won the starting job. After taking the top quarterback spot, Morris fought to maintain the job. He also accepted his mentor role helping Poljan prepare for the future. In the meantime, Poljan has spent time at the receiver position and lining up at quarterback in special packages. “I’ve been able to help him through film and practice with the little things. To come in and have the ability to play receiver and being open to do that is huge,” Morris said. “To be able to swallow his pride and play receiver says a lot about him as a teammate.” While Morris helps Poljan grow as a quarterback, head coach John Bonamego has made it a priority to get him involved in the offense. “I said from the beginning of the year that Poljan was going to play an important part in the offense,” Bonamego said. “He’s taken snaps at quarterback and receiver when the game was on the line. He’s been tested under fire and has had the chance to go out and compete.” In CMU’s 42-23 victory over Kent State on Nov. 14, Poljan scored his first collegiate touchdown on a threeyard run. The first to congratulate him was Morris, which impressed Bonamego. “(Morris and Poljan) have competed very hard with one another,” Bonamego said. “At the same time, there is a healthy respect. I think that helped set the tone for the rest of the team.” Playing receiver as a quarterback hit close to home for Morris, who spent his final season with Michigan as a wide out. In the late stages of the 2016 Spring Game for the Wolverines, Morris lined up at receiver and caught a 25-yard pass from John O’Korn. “I learned a lot about routes and stuff as a quarterback you can’t see usually, but can

see from the receiver position,” Morris said. Poljan has made five receptions for 97 yards this season and understands the same concepts Morris understood as a member of Michigan’s football team. “It’s definitely given me a different perspective in what the wide receivers see in comparison to what the quarterbacks see,” Poljan said. Since joining the receiver corps, Poljan has also been able to look to senior receivers Corey Willis, Mark Chapman and Eric Cooper. Willis even thought Poljan had what it took to start this season. “I think Poljan is the ultimate competitor,” Willis said. “Being a competitor myself, we just clicked since day one. I don’t think there are many quarterbacks who can play receiver at a high level. That shows he’s a great player.” Morris said the most important aspect of the game going forward for Poljan is getting in-game experience, since the redshirt freshman hasn’t received much playing time. “This offseason is going to be huge for him as a leader,” Morris said. “He’s great player and I think he will do well next year as the guy.” Looking ahead to the 2018 season, Poljan believes he will be ready to lead the Chippewas. However, he knows nothing is guaranteed. “Ultimately, it’s the coach’s decision,” Poljan said. “I can only control the factors I can control. I’ll come every day with an open mind ready to go. When the times comes, I’ll be ready.”
