West Virginia Athletic Direc-tor Oliver Luck said he expects a profit of about $1 million for selling alcohol at football games this fall.

Multiple sources report the possible profit, but Central Michigan University doesn’t sell any alcoholic concessions at Kelly/Shorts Stadium or other events and Athletic Director Dave Heeke said it’s not some-thing he plans on changing. No other Michigan university sells alcohol at concessions either.

“Certainly there’s significant revenues that can help the athletic program and lessen the burden on the university,” Heeke said. “There is that con-cern over what type of message that sends to your fans and stu-dent body.”

While CMU brings in an av-erage of 17,215 people a game, the West Virginia Mountaineers have an average attendance of 55,501.

If WVU’s expectations trans-ferred to CMU it could mean more than $300,000. That’s the same amount CMU paid South Carolina State to come for the home opener.

Though the idea has been looked at by Athletics, Heeke said the decision hasn’t been considered “seriously.”

CMU does sell alcohol to pri-vate parties and some suites in the stadium.

But smuggling drinks into the stadium inevitably happens and Fraser senior Victoria Grace thinks she’s seen almost every-thing.

“Some girls hide it in their purse,” Grace said. “I’ve seen guys put it in their pants.”

Grace didn’t agree with Heeke’s philosophy about sell-ing alcohol having a negative message.

“I think there is no right mes-sage to send to students,” Grace said. “They’re either going to drink or not drink (while) tailgat-ing. It’s their choice and whether or not CMU sells it in the sta-

Alcohol unlikely to be sold at games

“I’ve always been around recycled material,” she said. “I grew up fixing bikes, taking them apart and putting them back together. It’s been a hob-by of mine.”

So far, Recycled Bikes has had only one customer but in September Billips began post-ing fliers around campus to advertise.

She said her business is tar-geted toward students who are interested in conservation.

“The main audience is peo-ple who are wanting to con-serve energy by riding bikes and people who want to use the materials we already have instead of going out and buy-ing new bikes,” Billips said.

East Lansing junior Lexi Wilson said she saw Billips’ flier outside Wightman Hall after searching for a 10-speed road bike over the summer.

Wilson said she purchased a bike from Billips’ business

because the price was afford-able and of good quality.

“(The bike) is extremely (of) impressive quality for only $50,” Wilson said.

She said she thinks students should take advantage of sec-ondhand materials.

“We are all struggling and we all are trying to find cre-ative ways to make ends meet,” she said. “People still need to get from Point A to Point B and people still want bikes, so this way offers them a more affordable option for purchasing a bike.”

The business is environ-mentally conscious and cost effective in Michigan’s cur-rently down economy, Billips said.

“(Recycled Bikes) gets the word out there that we can fix things we already have,” she said.

Junior Chelsy Billips combined her passions of being creative and fixing things into a job of refurbishing and selling bicycles.

Billips started a bike repair business called Recycled Bikes. The St. Johns native said she has grown up around recycled materials and found a simple — yet — constructive way to utilize the spare parts she has accumulated.

“I’ve always had creative ideas and a creative mind and a creative outlook,” Billips said. “It’s kind of a creative approach to making a couple extra bucks.”

Billips runs the business by herself and does the repairs and refurbishing out of her garage.

“I take parts from other bikes and put them onto the bike I’m wanting to fix,” she said.

Rebuilding things runs in her family, she said. Her father worked at a junkyard and her uncle owns a junkyard in Charlotte.

The Faculty Association will walk in the Homecoming Parade Saturday but will not picket during the football tail-gate.

“The parade walk will be a great way to show faculty unity and support,” FA President Laura Frey said in an email.

CMU and the FA, which rep-resents about 650 tenured and tenure-track professors at the university, have been at a stale-mate in contract negotiations since June. The FA’s contract expired June 30.

The group voted to strike during the first day of classes at CMU.

CMU and the FA spent four days in fact-finding through September and Barry Gold-man, the fact finder, is in the process of producing a recom-mendation, which will be non-binding.

The last formal bargaining session took place Sept. 30 on the eve of CMU and You Day. There was no significant prog-ress made.

The parade starts at 11 a.m. near Lot 22 on the cor-ner of Washington and Pres-ton streets, before winding through Bellows Street and down Main Street. It will end at Sacred Heart Church, 302 S. Kinney Ave.

Instead of picketing, the FA will have a canopy at the pregame activities from 1 to 3 p.m. where they will serve free refreshments.

“We welcome any faculty who want to tailgate and join us to hang out in the FA cano-py at pregame,” Frey said.

At the last home football game on Oct. 1, the FA pick-eted outside the front gates of Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The FA’s decision not to pick-et Saturday was not influenced by the university, Frey said.

Director of Public Relations Steve Smith said there are rules in CMU’s advocacy policy about the appropriate methods

Students raced across the basketball courts in the Student Activity Center in wheelchairs Thursday night as they partici-pated in Adaptive Sports Day.

Wheelchair basketball was just one of the four sports set up for students to try at Adaptive Sports Day, part of Disability Awareness Month this October. For the second year, Adaptive Sports Day was held to show students com-mon adaptive sports by giving them the opportunity to par-ticipate.

The other sports played in-cluded goal-ball, where stu-dents were given a blindfold to simulate blindness, adap-

tive golf and sit volleyball.Mary Lou Schilling, assis-

tant professor of recreation, parks and leisure services, said she set up the event to encourage students at the Student Activity Center to try different adaptive sports com-monly played by disabled in-dividuals.

“It’s a good opportunity for (therapeutic recreation) stu-dents to not only try out the equipment, but also encour-age others,” Schilling said. “We feel very fortunate that we have (the equipment) to train our students on how to use the devices, and then they can work with individuals with disabilities.”

A new exit strategy will be implemented Saturday for the Homecoming football game to help minimize traf-fic congestion.

Lt. Cameron Wassman, of the Central Michigan Uni-versity Police Department, said this weekend will result in high traffic around Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“We’ve been working on (the strategy) over the past few months, setting things on paper,” Wassman said.

Entry into lots will not be allowed 30 minutes prior to the end of the game as part of the exit plan, Wassman said.

“We need time to make sure the route is free of vehicles,” Wassman said.

“What would normally be in-bound traffic will be used for out-bound traffic.”

Lots 63, 64, 70, 71 and 73 will exit west onto West Campus Road. Lot 62E, 63 and the overflow lot will exit east from Bluegrass Road onto Mission Road. Lot 63W and 61 will exit north onto Broomfield Road.

CMU and Mount Pleasant Police will be positioned at main intersections includ-ing Broomfield and Mission roads, West Campus Drive and Broomfield Road, and West Campus Drive and Mission Road.

CMU Police have coor-dinated with athletics and facilities managment to implement the new strat-egy, which will encompass direction on CMU property with help from the Mount

Pleasant Police.“We want to try it this year

to see how things work,” Wassman said.

Next year will bring high-traffic games against West-ern Michigan University and Michigan State University.

Ben Shaw, who helps co-ordinate traffic as a secu-rity officer for STT Security Inc., 1600 N. Mission Road, said that the new strategy should help to make things easier.

Wassman said he hopes that the new strategy will help to increase the overall happiness of those attend-ing games.

“The only concern I no-tice is that people don’t know where to exit lots,” Shaw said.

Football game routes to change

By David OlteanSenior Reporter

Comedian Chris Tucker’s Saturday performance has been moved to Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium after sell-ing only 1,200 tickets so far.

The Central Michigan Uni-versity Program Board decided to change the venue originally scheduled in the CMU Events Center, but the low number of tickets sold could not fill enough of the 5,300 seats avail-able.

Student Activities Coordina-tor Damon Brown, PB adviser,

said the show unfortunately had to move because of low ticket sales. Brown said he felt Plachta Auditorium would be more suitable for the 1,200 individuals who already pur-chased tickets.

“We didn’t sell enough tick-ets and had to make a decision in the best interest of every-one going to the show,” Brown said. “We wanted to make sure it would be a good environ-ment for Chris and for people attending the show.”

Brown said he felt the ticket prices did not play a role in the poor sales, and said Chris

Tucker performances in dif-ferent markets generally cost much more to attend.

“I don’t think ticket prices are high by any stretch of imag-ination with bleacher tickets for only $10,” Brown said. “For those 1,200 people that have tickets, it will be a great show.”

Damon said Plachta Audi-torium will be sectioned off to reflect the value of tickets al-ready purchased. For example, those who bought floor seats will have seats closer to the stage reserved.

dium won’t change it. It may en-courage people over 21 to drink inside the game a little more.”

Heeke said the students who do get caught with alcohol are kicked out of the game.

“We take a pretty hard stand and smuggling in alcohol is against the rules of the stadi-um,” Heeke said.

Alcohol is allowed in the sta-dium’s parking lot, so some stu-dents wonder why there is such a strict policy against selling it at the game.

“Football and beer are always thought of going together,” said Troy sophomore Missy Clay. “I think that it wouldn’t make much of a difference if we sold it at our games. The fact that other schools do it shows that it’s not a bad thing.”

Schilling said the therapeu-tic recreation department has many other devices for the dis-abled including hand-cycles, an assortment of skis and a hand-icap-accessible golf cart with a rotating seat.

Monroe senior Casey Harris, a therapeutic recreation major, tried all the sports and said she found goal-ball to be the most difficult. Harris said Adaptive Sports Day was a great way to have fun and educate students about different adaptive sports.

“The most difficult one was goal-ball. It’s really hard to tell where you are in the room and you’re skeptical about being

blindfolded,” Harris said. “As a therapeutic recreation major, I think it’s really important for everyone to know about adap-tive sports and to be more ac-cepting of adaptive sports in general.”

Grandville junior Kyle Stevens was playing basketball in the Student Activity Center when he decided to try a few games of wheelchair basketball. Stevens shot the game-winning basket while he was playing, but said the sport was much more diffi-cult than he expected.

“I had a good time, but it’s definitely harder than it looks trying to dribble,” Stevens said. “I didn’t do as well as I thought I would do. The shot at the end was one of few shots made.”

IN THE NEWSGoRE: CLIMATE CHANGE To BLAME FoR SToRMS, DRouGHTS, WILDFIRESBy Tina LamDetroit Free Press

DETROIT — Former Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore was unbowed and unrepentant Thursday in blaming recent storms, droughts and wild-fires on climate change.

Speaking before about 550 people at Wayne State Uni-versity, Gore reeled off statis-tics about huge downpours in Pakistan and Colombia, wildfires in Australia and drought in Texas in the past year that he said are clear evidence of the looming cli-mate crisis.

Even his own hometown, Nashville, had floods that experts said would only be expected once every 1,000

years, he said, and most peo-ple had no flood insurance because nobody expected floods.

“This is what is happen-ing now all over the world,” he said. “We’ve had 10 of the hottest years ever measured in the last 13 years.”

Gore compared the rejec-tion by many people of sci-entists’ predictions about climate change to bankers ignoring signs of a mortgage crisis in the years leading up the 2008 recession.

The mentality then was “I’ll be gone, you’ll be gone,” expressed in some internal emails about the mortgage situation, he said. That’s the same attitude many people have now, ignoring the prob-lems or hoping they’ll go

away and land in the lap of future generations, he said.

Warmer air holds more wa-ter vapor, which has caused larger and more widespread heavy storms, he said. For example, the scale that mea-sures the strength of hur-ricanes and tropical storms goes through 5, but scientists are considering adopting a 6th level to accommodate fiercer storms, he said.

Gore said that in the same way tobacco companies tried to discredit scientists 40 years ago who found a link between smoking and cancer, sowing doubt in the public’s mind about whether the science was valid, indus-tries are trying to discredit the science on global warm-ing.

of protesting and marching.“The regulations are pret-

ty much designed to prevent an interruption of academic activities,” he said. “It’s just a community parade.”

Smith said he did not think the FA marching in the parade would be an issue.

Student Government As-sociation President Vince Cavataio, a Shelby Town-ship senior, was critical of the last FA picket during the last home game, because it was also CMU and You Day for recruiting. During the parade, however, he said he is more neutral.

“I don’t see any problem with it if they’re protesting at the parade,” Cavataio said. “It’s their right to do so.”

pErry fiSh/staff photographerSocial work program field director Allison Putnam talks with students about the student so-cial work association during MAJOR night Wednesday in the Bovee University Center Rotunda room. Students can choose between more than 150 undergraduate programs at Central.

By Sienna MonczunskiStaff Reporter

About 800 students visited the Bovee University Center Rotunda to learn about more than 150 undergraduate pro-grams offered at Central Michi-gan University.

Many Advisers Joined under One Roof Night brought aca-demic advisers from every de-partment, who set up booths with pamphlets and offered advising to students who ap-proached with questions and concerns on Wednesday night.

Fremont sophomore Mi-chael Dekuiper transferred to CMU from Saginaw Valley State University. He said he trans-ferred because of the larger campus at CMU in comparison to the smaller size and commu-

nity of SVSU.“I am here to figure out what

I want to do with my life. I like politics, but it tends to make me mad at the world,” Dekui-per said. “I know that I need to sign for my major after this semester because I will have around 60 credits.”

Groups such as Study Abroad, military services, and Multicultural Academic Stu-dent Services also had booths with information for students.

“Everyone wants to know about Study Abroad. It is re-quired in the foreign languages major, so they have every right to ask,” said Keith Palka, profes-sor of foreign languages, litera-tures and cultures.

Palka along with Taryn Wa-ters, instructor of foreign lan-guages, literatures and cultures,

hosted the foreign language studies booth.

Palka said students mistak-enly assume the only avenue for foreign language is teach-ing. He said students who study foreign languages have a wide possibility of careers includ-ing fields in travel, government jobs and translating careers.

Palka said another possible benefit of studying a foreign language is the feasibility of fin-

ishing school in four years.“Some people are fearful of

foreign language the way they are with math, but most get over those fears fairly quick(ly),” Palka said.

Some of the longer lines in-cluded students seeking help in pre-med, child development, family studies and apparel merchandising.

About 800 students get degree advice during MAJOR night

Central Michigan Univer-sity has been given a new rating of 4.5 stars out of five on the Campus Pride Index Survey.

It had previously received 2.5 stars when the survey was taken in 2008.

“This puts us right up there with other schools in our conference,” said Shan-non Jolliff, director of LG-BTQ Services.

Since 2008, several chang-es were made which im-proved the score. Joliff was hired as a full-time director to the LGBTQ office in 2008, Residence Life adopted a gender-neutral housing op-tion, and gender identity/gender expression was ad-opted into the university’s non-discrimination policy.

“We are really happy that the new score now accurate-ly reflects the changes we’ve made on campus since we were first scored,” said Jus-tin Gawronski, president of Spectrum, formerly the Gay Straight Alliance on campus.

This rating puts the uni-versity on the same level as Western Michigan Universi-ty, Eastern Michigan Univer-sity and Grand Valley State University.

The only university within the state with a higher rating is the University of Michigan — one of 33 schools in the country that Campus Pride awarded five stars.

Michigan State University has not taken the survey.

“I think if we could make a few changes, like do more outreach in high schools, our rating would increase,” Jolliff said.

She said an official gen-der-neutral housing pro-gram would also improve the score, which GVSU re-cently approved.

There was a proposal for gender-neutral housing written last year to Resi-dence Life but was denied, before being passed on for a decision from the Student Government Association.

“The proposal has been written, the talks have been made, it’s up to the students now,” Jolliff said.

For now, she said she plans to focus more on retention ef-forts and recruitment of LG-BTQ community members.

Kylee Meade, Roseville senior and president of Transcend, an RSO which strives for more transgen-der education and offers a safe haven where transgen-der people on campus can come to be themselves, no-tices the effort on the uni-versity’s part.

More charter schools could open after a bill was approved by the Michigan Senate.

However, the bill, which was approved on Oct. 6, would not dramatically increase the number of schools Central Michi-gan University opens, said Mary Kay Shields, interim executive director of the Center for Charter Schools at CMU.

The nine-bill package called the Parent Empow-erment Education Reform Package would lift the cap on charter schools. After being approved by the Re-publican-led Senate, the legislation will have to pass the Republican-led House of Representatives and be signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder.

Shields said there will be “smart growth” in choos-ing schools, not just any growth.

“CMU has always had a rigorous and thought-ful process for considering charter schools,” she said.

“It’s not going to open up a floodgate.”

Shields said CMU is the first and largest university charter school authorizer in Michigan, with the largest enrollment in the nation.

Charter school growth in Michigan would not af-fect the quality of educa-tion in each school, Shields said. She said CMU chooses charter schools thought-fully, and only authorizes them when convinced the school will be the best.

“We have stood for and will continue to stand for quality,” she said.

Shields said in exchange for removing the cap, there are some additional red tape requirements for au-thorizers when they con-sider charter schools, but it is basically what CMU is already doing.

Community colleges, in-termediate school districts and K-12 local education agencies are not limited in the number of charter schools they can sponsor, but public universities are legislatively capped at 150 schools statewide.

CMU has 58 authorized charter schools this year with enrollment on more than 30,000 students, said a spokesman for the Center

Cherise Peters describes herself with one word: pas-sionate.

The former associate vice president for enrollment ser-vices and registrar at Geor-gia State University wants to be the first person to hold that same position at Central Michigan University.

“I’m a pretty open book,” Peters said. “I got a reputa-tion at Georgia in the first

six months of knowing more people on that campus than anyone else.”

About 30 attended her fo-rum at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Bovee University Center’s Lake Huron room. She be-gan by greeting and shaking hands with every person in the room.

Wheeler sophomore Alex-andria Kennedy said the ges-ture left a good impression on her.

“I think she has a cha-risma,” Kennedy said. “I re-

ally liked the way she came around and introduced her-self to all of us.”

Peters is working toward a doctorate in philosophy of education from Georgia State. She received her mas-ters in human resources from Keller Graduate School and her Masters in Leadership and Education from Harvard.

Peters also has 32 years of leadership experience in en-rollment and student affairs. She was vice president for en-rollment at Georgia State from

2004 to 2011. She also served as its registrar, assistant director of university information services and co-chairwoman of student information and systems ban-ner implementation project.

She said her experience makes her ready to handle the job at CMU.

“This is what I know I can do really well,” Peters said. “This is a place that wants the same service structure put into place.”

“Being in the front row, I wanted to see if (Sabin) would pick on me, and I certainly got what I bar-gained for,” Morrison said.

Sabin was a dancer be-fore becoming a drag queen. She said she began impersonating women

after injuring her knee and was no longer able to dance.

She has performed drag for eight and a half years. Wednesday’s bingo event was her third time hosting it at CMU. She has also performed in April’s drag show seven times.

Winners of bingo were rewarded with bags of candy. Sabin then gave another performance set to Beyonce’s “Run the World (Girls)” after a five-minute intermission. Sa-bin then took questions from the audience.

“CMU changed my life.

After one of my perfor-mances, you guys gave me a standing ovation, not because you had to, but because you truly enjoyed my performance,” Sabin said. “It helped remind me why I do what I do.”

Bingo is not just reserved for the elderly.About 260 students attended Drag Show Bingo

Wednesday evening in Powers Hall 234.Drag Show Bingo was organized by Shannon Jol-

liff, director of LGBTQ Services, in conjunction with Coming Out Week.

Sabin, from Hamtramck, opened with a dance number to the song “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj. She then picked on audience members.

Farmington sophomore Graham Morrison, who attended Drag Queen Bingo for the first time with his girlfriend, was one of her targets. Sabin ques-tioned his sexuality and the audience coerced him into taking his shirt off.

University President George Ross is giving students an op-portunity to ask him questions one-on-one while having din-ner in residential restaurants.

“It was completely the presi-dent’s idea,” said Joan Schmidt, associate vice president of Resi-dence Life. “He contacted us to see if we could set up dates and times and spread the word.”

The first of four dinners this semester was held Oct. 3 in the Towers Residence Halls’ Real Food on Campus. The next dinner will be at 5:15 p.m. Tuesday in Merrill Resi-dential Restaurant. There will also be dinners at 6 p.m. Nov. 1 at Fresh Food Co. and 6 p.m. Nov. 8 at Robinson Residential Restaurant.

There is no official registra-tion required to attend one of the dinners, Schmidt said.

“At the Oct. 3 dinner in the Towers, there were about 20 students and they rotated seats every so often so each student got an opportunity to speak to the president,” she said.

Illinois freshman Ophelia Swanson sees the dinners as Ross’s attempt to communi-

cate with students and prove Ross truly cares.

“It’s a good idea that he’s try-ing to get more involved with students,” she said. “He’s prob-ably trying to give himself a better reputation and get in a better light with the students and show that he really does care despite what’s been going on with the faculty.”

Some students are weary of attending the dinners because of the ongoing contract dis-

pute between the university and the Faculty Association.

“I don’t particularly like the situation that’s going on be-tween the teachers and the president, and I think going to eat with him might end up in a bad discussion,” said Capac freshman Shannon Draper. “I probably wouldn’t make an ef-fort to be involved in the con-versation at all.”

7 year-old Kannyn Boyd has been reciting the words from her book of poems in prepara-tion for a reading in front of an audience.

But her audience isn’t an ordinary one. A four-legged, tail-wagging dog sat and lis-tened one-on-one with Kan-nyn Wednesday as she read “Miles of Smiles” by Bruce Lansky.

“I like that they listen,” Kan-nyn said.

She said she likes coming to the Veterans Memorial Li-brary, 301 S. University Ave., to read to the dogs in a pro-gram created by the Mount Pleasant Michigan Kennel Club. Since 2003, the Tale Waggers have children learn to read by lending them a lis-tening ear through man’s best friend.

“I know that people will bring little dogs, and I like lit-tle dogs,” Kannyn said.

Kannyn said she loves read-ing, especially “Junie B. Jones” books.

The second-grader said she tries reading to her Cockapoo at home, but it doesn’t always turn out successfully.

“It runs away,” she said.Her 9-year-old sister, Kol-

bey Boyd, also attended the program and said she loves the combination of reading and dogs.

“I like doing this because I really like dogs,” she said.

Kolbey and Kannyn’s moth-er, Linda Boyd, principal of Fancher 5/6 Elementary School, 801 S. Kinney Ave., said Tale Waggers is an oppor-tunity to support reading and literacy.

This is the first year Linda brought her daughters to Tale Waggers. She said she wanted to last year, but the program was booked.

Linda said she finds read-ing important for young ado-lescents and reading to dogs makes it more enjoyable.

“It inspires them to read. They spend a lot of time pick-ing up the right book,” she said. “It’s comical, because they want to make the dog happy.”

Alice Jenicke, co-chairwom-an of Tale Waggers, said this organization is a perfect fit for her.

“I like kids and I like dogs,” she said. “I’m a librarian here, so I like reading.”

Jenicke said she has noticed some changes in participants as they progress each week.

“It does make an impres-sion on a lot of kids,” she said.

She recently had an eighth-grader come back to give his appreciation to the group af-ter what they did for him when he was younger, she said.

The Tale Waggers also partic-ipate in “Study Break Therapy” at Central Michigan University, and have gone to other librar-ies in Alma and Shepherd.

To get the community aware and involved, Tale Wag-gers advertises the event on the library website, along with sending flyers home to el-ementary parents.

Clare resident Lori Lickly said the Tale Waggers program allows kids to relax with the dogs.

“It’s a very non-threatening environment,” she said. “They don’t get corrected if they read it wrong.”

Lickly said anywhere from

two to 15 teams volunteer and bring their own dogs, depend-ing on how many kids are ex-pected.

“We have an interest in do-ing community service,” she said. “We’ve heard about pro-grams in other states that do it.”

Tale Waggers will be meet-ing for the remaining Wednes-days in October.

Kohrman said the experi-ence is rewarding in many ways. She said she had a par-ent call and thank her because for the first time, her child brought a book home from school to read.

A member of Tale Waggers, Dee Kohrman, said reading to the dogs boosts childrens’ reading comprehension.

“It makes them happy with books,” she said.

The Office for Institutional Diversity has created two programs with the help of a $1.5 million grant to help low-income and first-generation students.

The new programs, the Michigan College and Univer-sity Partnership and the Select Student Support Services, be-gan Oct. 1.

The Michigan Strategic Fund awarded the grants through the King Chavez Parks Initiative. MICUP will receive $120,000 annually and 4S will receive $130,000 annu-ally, for six years.

“The programs we just got were two programs that were missing from Central Michi-gan University’s portfolio,” said Mary Henley, director of Gear Up, which is another government-funded program offering middle school and high school students tutor-ing and mentoring for college information. “Once they get to campus, we will take a look at eligible students and insert

them into the pathway pro-gram.”

The programs will offer mentoring, social networking, first-year experience activities and individualized programs to students on campus and before they arrive.

Henley is serving as the project director of the 4S pro-gram, which will be called the Pathways to Academic Student Success Program at CMU.

First-generation students are defined as students whose parents do not have bachelors degrees, Henley said. Low-income students are those eligible for free lunch in public schools.

The new programs will be open to students regardless of their involvement with the Gear Up program, she said.

Although Gear Up helps prepare middle school and high school students for col-lege, there was no program for them once they actually got to college, Henley said.

While the MICUP program will also work with low-in-come, first-generation stu-

dents, it will specifically focus on transfer students.

The selected transfer col-leges MICUP will apply to are Mid Michigan Community College, Bay Mills Community College, Saginaw Chippewa Tribal College and Lansing Community College.

Colleen Green, director of Native American Programs, is also the director of the MICUP program. Green said the colleges were chosen be-cause many students needing MICUP assistance transfer from those four colleges.

Green said the programs are in the pilot stage. They will work on putting events and staff in place and finding students who are eligible for the programs. They will begin processing students into the programs around December or January, she said.

“I really want to see the transfer rate increase, as well as the retainment rate,” Green said. “We’re hoping to give them that added support when they arrive.”

Helping you put the pieces back together

By Jessica FecteauSenior Reporter

Results from an air monitor-ing study show a decrease in sec-ondhand smoke air pollutants in restaurants since the Michigan smoking ban took effect in May, 2010.

The study indicates a 93-per-cent reduction when the PM2.5 levels were measured after Michigan’s Dr. Ron Davis Smoke Free Air law took action.

PM2.5 is a general grouping of particles that comes from cigarettes, pipes or any other tobacco products, said Jennifer Gray, MDCH toxicologist.

The Michigan Department of Community Health Tobacco Section, along with other local agencies, conducted the study in the same 77 restaurants be-fore and after the law began on May 1, 2010.

“It can instantly trigger asth-ma or heart attacks when it is breathed in,” she said.

The study stated, “of the more

than 5,000 chemicals in second-hand smoke, the two pre-emi-nent atmospheric markers for secondhand smoke are PM2.5 and nicotine.”

Gray said breathing in sec-ondhand smoke may be just as bad as being a smoker.

“Studies show just living in a house with a smoker increases ear infections and respiratory difficulties,” she said.

Erika Van Dam, Tobacco Re-duction Coalition of Northwest Michigan family and commu-nity health supervisor, said the study results are very positive.

“How wonderful it is to go to a restaurant where smok-ing isn’t allowed and be able to breathe clean air,” she said. “And the data just backs up the basic awareness.”

Within the first three months after the law went into place, there were huge spikes in callers to the Michigan Tobacco Quit Line, Van Dam said.

“I can tell you it’s almost daily that people want to quit smoking, and I did not get that before the law went into effect,” she said.

The most important part was banning smoking for the em-ployee benefit, Van Dam said.

“This is a workplace ban,” she

said. “Now all employees can breathe in clean air and that’s a really positive thing.”

Fred Phillips, owner of Fred-die’s Tavern, 705 S. Adams St., disagrees with the smoking ban.

The owner of 30 years said he doesn’t need the state of Michi-gan telling him how to run his business, which he said is now down $100,000 in sales since the ban took effect.

“Four bars that I know have closed since the ban,” he said. “Thank you very much state of Michigan that has screwed over four families.”

Pool tables at Freddie’s Tavern have gone down from three to two, along with losing two dart boards since game revenue has

gone down 40 percent.“People who play those games

drink beer, have munchies and smoke,” he said. “Now they come in, but they don’t stay. They do what they do and they leave.”

He said instead of the com-plete ban, legislators would have been smart to implement the ban on new restaurants and leave the existing ones alone.

“They need to repeal it,” he said. “The state doesn’t think they have anything to lose, but now everyone loses, the state loses, the people lose because there (are) less jobs. They’re stu-pid for not figuring that out be-forehand.”

Michigan residents with concealed pistol permits could be allowed to carry Tasers if Senate Bill 29 passes in the State House and becomes law.

The bill is part of a new package of three bills passed in the Michigan Senate Oct. 4 and is wait-ing on a vote by the Michi-gan House of Representa-tives.

“After having 31 years in police work, I saw first-hand the victims of vio-lent crimes,” said Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge. “I want Michigan residents to have another way to pro-tect themselves.”

If the legislation passes, Michigan would join 43 states that allow citizens to carry Tasers, Jones said.

The bill passed in the senate with a lot of bipar-tisan support with a vote of 35-3, he said.

Carrying a Taser has been banned in Michigan since 1976, with the ex-ception of police and cor-rectional officers.

The bill includes re-strictions on when a Taser could be used. The only times a citizen could use a Taser against another person would be in cases when their life is in immediate danger, if someone is causing a person great bodily harm and in defense against rape, Jones said.

“If they can carry a fire-arm as long as they have a proper permit, I don’t see how this will become a huge problem,” said Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski. “My understanding is that the Tasers will not be provid-ing as much of a shock as police Tasers.”

The same laws that ap-ply to handguns will ap-

ply to Tasers as well, Jones said.

If a citizen purchases a Taser, he or she will need to have a clean back-ground check and com-plete an eight-hour con-cealed weapons course, Jones said.

“I saw a lot of support for the bill,” Jones said. “Many women said they agree with the legislation and there was a lot of biparti-san support.”

Jones said there isn’t a good common-sense argu-

ment against the legisla-tion, since Tasers replace bullets with electricity.

Mioduszewski said Tas-ers deliver .02-.04 amps of electricity and have one to two joules of power. A vac-uum provides 12 amps of electricity and 300 joules of power, he said.

“The voltage isn’t what’s important,” he said. “The ampage is what kills.”

A two-car accident Wednes-day afternoon led to one wom-an being airlifted to Spectrum Hospital in Grand Rapids.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said the accident happened at about 1:38 p.m. on East River Road.

Karen Reeves was driving a U.S. Postal Service truck when Patrick Murphy attempted to pass her. When Reeves tried to make a left turn on Stoney Creek Lane, Murphy’s Chevrolet Sil-verado pickup collided with the U.S. Postal Service truck.

“The mail carrier was west-bound and was either trying to make a left turn or u-turn,” he said. “While she was making the turn, a westbound Chevy Sil-verado hit the driver side of the mail carrier’s vehicle.”

Officials from the Isabella County Sheriff’s office said Reeves was ejected from her vehicle as it overturned. Both Reeves and Murphy were transported to Cen-tral Michigan Community Hospi-tal, 1221 S. Drive, by Mobile Medi-cal Response.

Reeves was then flown to Spectrum Health Systems in Grand Rapids as a result of head trauma.

Spectrum Hospital or CMCH neither commented on the con-ditions of Reeves and Murphy on Thursday.

FOUR-CAR PILE-UPTwo people were taken to

CMCH Wednesday afternoon after a four-car pile-up in front of Taco Bell, 1143 S. Mission St.

“One car rear-ended another, which rear-ended the one in front of it, and so on,” said Mount Pleas-ant Police Department Public Information Officer Jeff Browne. “There were four cars total.”

Browne said he did not know the condition of those taken to the hospital.

When deputies arrived to the scene the driver, a 24-year-old Mount Pleasant man, had fled leaving a passenger, a 36-year-old Vestaburg woman, at the scene, Mioduszewski said.

The driver was charged on four counts; driving while intox-icated, driving with a suspended license, resisting and obstruct-ing the police and failure to re-port an injury accident.

“There do not appear to be any serious injuries as a result of the accident,” Mioduszewski said. “The suspect has yet to be arraigned.”

P e r s o n a l D e f e n s e

It has been more than two years since Central Michigan University created new regulations for tailgat-ing on campus, and the tradition of tailgating at CMU is dead.

This becomes even more appar-ent during Homecoming Weekend. Alumni come back to celebrate before the football game and head back to Lot 63 where they see only a vague resemblance to what hap-pened during their time as students.

The regulations — including a ban on glass bottles and pets, rules for sound systems and a limit on the quantity of alcoholic beverages one person can bring into the lot – destroyed tailgating at CMU.

While last year’s homecoming tailgate brought the highest num-ber of students since the rules were established, that number dwindled when it came to Western Weekend, a time when tailgate used to thrive.

While they drew big crowds, the two tailgates do not rival the tail-gates of 2008, before the rules were established.

While law enforcement was prevalent, there wasn’t a feeling of being baby-sat as security guards sat at every entrance and barri-cades forced strict entry points. Fans got excited for the game and brought that into Kelly/Shorts Sta-dium, creating a fired-up atmo-sphere.

Although the rules themselves are not especially restrictive, the fact that there are rules, and posts of police officers enforcing them, spoiled tailgating for the entire campus.

As a matter of fact, tailgating has been so thoroughly destroyed by the rules, that if they were re-pealed, tailgating would likely still not recover. The majority of cur-rent students don’t remember the larger tailgates from before the rules, so the tradition of a massive party in the parking lot exists large-ly in the memories of upperclass-men and alumni.

So why not repeal them? At this point, what harm could it do?

In 2010, Athletics upped the cost of security from $10,000 to $20,000. At the time they spent more than $4,000 a game just to watch a few students calmly tailgate.

This year the results have been much of what was experienced during 2010, as students have de-cided to go to Main Street and the surrounding areas before the game.

Making tailgate look less like a war zone, with barricades sur-rounding students on all sides, might be the first step. It’s not appealing to anyone to be forced inside a box, while just a stone’s throw away families and CMU alumni sit in their vehicles grill-ing, preparing in a atmosphere that looks a little more like an ac-tual tailgate.

Allowing students a chance to enjoy themselves in a free and open environment could save a CMU tradition, but right now tail-gate seems long gone.

Just try and pry my BlackBerry from my fingers.

My best friend and I got our BlackBer-ries together. One Wednesday morning he called to tell me he had news: he was switching from our beloved BlackBerry to an Android. We talked it out, and ulti-mately I took his betrayal in stride.

“Wow, this was harder than telling my parents I’m gay,” he joked.

We ultimately got through the strug-gle, and mostly because I knew he was in for a downgrade of devices.

This was in April. And today, despite this week’s three-day service outage, I know my BlackBerry is superior to any other device ... at least for me.

My obsession with my BlackBerry is real and it’s deep: aside from when I’m asleep, nary an hour goes by without me checking my device.

Now I admit, an iPhone or an An-droid phone has more multimedia ca-pabilities, but my BlackBerry does what I need it to do — messaging — better than any other device.

Plus, Research In Motion, the com-pany that makes BlackBerry, just came out with a new line designed to com-pete with the multimedia capabilities of its opponents.

I love the QWERTY keyboard and the interface, specifically, having buttons, just makes more sense to me.

I look like a caveperson trying to operate a touchscreen-based phone. It’s as though my fine motor skills have disappeared while I point, punch and jab at the buttonless screen, my finger-prints glaring back at me with smug disgust.

For my job, I have an Android, but I still prefer my BlackBerry. There are definitely pros to the Android: using it as a mobile hotspot is much more con-venient than it is on my dated Black-Berry.

While taking a picture or shooting video is easier on my BlackBerry, the quality is better on the Android.

But what I need the BlackBerry for most, it comes through with, and in much better form than my Android: email. My BlackBerry sends and re-ceives messages with much greater speed than my Android, which doesn’t constantly update with email messages.

I can send and receive several mes-sages on my BlackBerry in the time it takes for my Android to update with the same messages.

Ultimately, for a professional on the go, it’s inefficient. The other operat-ing systems just don’t keep up with the BlackBerry, at least in the primary uses of the smartphone: phone calls and messaging.

Perhaps I’m enslaved to my device, perhaps another friend is correct when he said that they would find me 50 years from now BlackBerry Messaging my-self. But it’s going to take a lot to see me get rid of my BlackBerry.

“It’s a jungle down there!”This is what my 84-year-old

grandpa said about a large, crowd-ed parking lot last Friday as we drove through Detroit Metro Air-port.

He, my dad and I were catching a flight to Florida, and everywhere we went in the terminal, his re-marks weren’t unlike that first one — eager but confused.

He used words like “zoo” to de-scribe getting through airport se-curity and “a bunch of bums” for all the people who crossed the ter-minal every which way.

But I couldn’t blame him.After all, this was his first

time at the airport, his first time scrambling through security and navigating the terminal, and it was his first time ever on an air-plane.

At first, I’d been surprised. The World War II veteran who taught me to play Rummy, the man who I’ve always called “Puppa” — he had never flown before.

We were to visit with my great aunt and uncle, my dad’s cousins and a whole slew of relatives I’d never met for the next two days.

Both my grandma and a great uncle on my dad’s side died with-in the last year, and this trip was something my grandpa called “the last roundup.”

During the entire flight, Puppa kept his nose pressed against the window, his eyes scanning the landscape we passed over at 35,000 feet. Every once in a while, he’d watch the engines, fascinated by the mechanics of it all.

It was almost moving how he took hold of every moment, taking in the experience, and I appreci-ated him for this. But that whole weekend, I would find myself confronted with things I take for granted.

After the flight landed, we drove to my Great Aunt Doris’ horse ranch in Ocala, Fla. There, wait-ing in the driveway, was my Great Uncle Art with a video camera on a tripod to capture our arrival.

My dad had brought his research into our family tree with him on the trip. It dated back in one area to 300 B.C. and to Scottish royalty in another, but there were a lot of holes he hoped his Aunt Doris could fill in.

He’d given me the explanation of the family tree before, and it just never stuck with me. It was only that weekend that I appreciated it — being surrounded by the peo-ple whose names it included and hearing their stories.

Now, I’m kicking myself for not taking the time to get know these family members sooner. I wish I could’ve heard their stories before, and seen those photos. I wish I took more photos, or even remem-bered to look out an airplane win-dow to soak in the view.

As students, we don’t always take the time to do these things. Between classes, work and social lives, life just moves too fast. It re-ally is “a jungle” out there.

I may joke about the things puppa said and did because I know he grew up in a different time. His word choices and expe-riences are completely different from mine.

He doesn’t know a lot of things, like that you need an Amazon ac-count to order books for your Kindle because the device doesn’t come with them built-in. He doesn’t know what Twitter is or the difference between WiFi and an ethernet cable.

Some people might say that means he’s a bit out-of-touch with today’s reality. But that weekend, it really took someone like him to pull me down right back down to it.

I am writing this letter today because I just learned that the Michigan House Committee on Insurance has begun hearing tes-timony on HB 4936.

This bill would drastically change our auto anti-fault laws and not in a good way. The upshot of this proposed legislation is that it would allow the insurance com-panies to renege on their 40-year-old promise of lifetime medical coverage in exchange for a man-datory payment of car insurance by those who choose to drive. This would (surprise, surprise)

allow the insurance companies here in the state to make bigger corporate profits.

The loss of no-fault auto insur-ance funding for these expenses (lifetime medical coverage) will mean a massive cost shift to Medicaid and Medicare, thus in-creasing the state and federal tax burden for Michigan citizens. It would also lead to a loss of jobs. We already have a jobs problem, why do our lawmakers want to make it worse?

The insurance companies, which in Michigan are some of

the least regulated and most in-fluential powerful corporations in this state, are getting all three branches of our state government to carry their water. We need a government in Lansing that cares more about the regular folks and less about the corporations.

Please contact your state sena-tor and state representative and let them know that our rights are more important than insurance companies’ profits.

running backs, Offensive Line B, Quarterback C-, Coaching a C!!??? Are you crazy??? CMU can’t move the ball on the ground at ALL. We’re ranked number 94 in rushing for the nation. What is our average about 3 yards a carry, how pathetic is that? I guess when you have as many picks as touchdown passes you are doing OK too. In fact, every position should be about a D be-sides the tight ends and receivers who still should have a C ranking.

Enos has been terrible. The team looks unprepared for every game and I’m sorry not even being com-petitive against WMU is just plan bad. Even when CMU was great and WMU was crap the games

were still competitive and the play-ers showed up. A blowout loss to MSU can be forgiven, but having one of the worst offensive games in the history of the school makes is unacceptable. What did we have about 105 yards of offense against State? I mean what does it take to get Enos to try something dif-ferent because it is obviously not working!! How can you ignore the terrible play calling and offensive schemes? It’s always run up the middle get nothing the first two plays and then throw on 3rd. The man has no head coaching abil-ity at all and anything above a D is moronic.

Seriously, I really like CM Life, but this article is terrible. Open your eyes!!!!

Participants will be offered the opportunity to beat a car with a sledgehammer as part of two different events this Homecoming weekend.

The first event, Homecom-ing Car Bash, will take place Friday at the Wesley Center at Central Michigan University, 1400 S. Washington St.

The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. To beat the car with the sledgehammer, par-ticipants must pay $1 a hit.

The Delta Chi fraternity is also hosting a Car Smash on Saturday in Lot 63. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Students will first be able to spray paint the car from 11 a.m. to noon, then at 12:30 p.m., the car smashing will begin.

Delta Chi started the car smash to support the foot-ball team at tailgate and raise money for charity.

“We created this event to not only help out (the) Jim-my V Foundation, but also to support the Central Michigan University football team,” said Zachary Ernat, Westland sophomore and Delta Chi philanthropy chairman. “We want to boost the morale on campus, so we are hoping lots of people participate and have a good time.”

The V Foundation sup-ports cancer research. It was founded in 1993 by ESPN and the late Jim Valvano, a North Carolina State University basketball coach who died from cancer.

“It is a fun and unique way to donate to a good cause,” said Connor Gallagher, War-ren senior and president of Delta Chi. “Any dollar is

good, if you donate $1, that would be good for cancer re-search; anything helps.”

Delta Chi came up with the idea for the car smash with the help of an alumnus, who donated the car for the event.

It will cost students $2 to spray paint the car. As for the Car Smash, $1 will be for one swing, $2 for a “strike out,” which is three swings, and $3 for a “grand slam,” which will be five swings. All proceeds will go to The V Foundation.

After the Car Bash there will be a screening of the movie “Thor.”

“We’re also showing the movie ‘Thor,’ so hitting something with a big ham-mer seemed fitting,” said Wesley Center Director Charlie Farnum.

While the main purpose of the event is to fire up the Chippewas, Forum said he is also trying to get the word out about their organization.

Farnum said the money earned will offset the cost of towing the car to Wesley and back as well as having it painted the colors of Eastern Michigan University, and that any extra money earned will be used to support Wes-ley at CMU.

“Wesley is in the center of campus. This is a student community that focuses on caring for yourself and others as we are,” Farnum said. “We eat, we play, we watch mov-ies and we host fun events.”

With the stress and anxiety of classes, people involved in events at Wesley agreed a car bash would be a great way to relieve some built-up ten-sion.

“Having a car bash is great because it is a place where students can gather on cam-pus for a fun activity and an awesome stress reliever after midterms,” said Port Huron junior Emily Shinavier.

WASHINGTON — Next up for Republicans in the House of Representatives who are seeking to curb the role of the Environmental Protection Agency is a vote Friday on a bill that would give states the power to monitor the disposal of coal ash from power plants.

Coal ash contains arsenic, lead and many other toxic ma-terials that can escape into the air or water if the material isn’t properly contained. Coal ash, the general term for the ma-terial that’s left behind when coal is burned, is one of the biggest industrial wastes in the nation. U.S. power plants produce 140 million tons of it every year.

If the bill became law, it would block the EPA from imposing a federal rule to regulate the coal ash in dis-posal sites as a hazardous sub-stance. The EPA has proposed that, but it hasn’t yet decided whether to follow through with it or opt for a state-based plan instead.

The bill would put the regu-latory power in the hands of the states. It sets up a permit system for new coal-ash dis-posal sites under the Solid Waste Disposal Act. It also sets minimal federal standards and limits the EPA’s role.

The bill’s backers argued that the hazardous designa-tion would make people shy away from using products made from recycled coal ash, such as concrete and wallboard, even though the ash that’s bound up in these things isn’t a hazard.

The bill is expected to pass the Republican-controlled House. It has already won the support of some Democrats.

The White House said it opposed the bill because the measure undermined the fed-eral government’s ability to make sure that the waste was disposed of in ways that pro-tected human health and the

environment. The statement, however, made no mention of plans for a veto if the bill clears the Senate.

The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Da-vid McKinley, R-W.Va., said in an interview Thursday with McClatchy Newspapers that he discovered that there were problems with the current disposal sites for coal ash.

“In the midst of trying to remove the stigma — fly ash (coal ash) being a hazardous material, which it’s not — we got deeper and found there really are some problems with the management of the prod-uct that’s not recycled,” he said.

The bill would tighten stan-dards for new coal-ash dispos-al sites so that they’re equal to or greater than those for

municipal landfills, McKinley said. “I feel confident we’ve met the requirements.”

The EPA, however, said in an analysis of the bill that munic-ipal waste landfills had a re-quirement to “protect human health and the environment,” but that the coal ash bill didn’t use that standard. Without it, the EPA would have a hard time making the case that a state program was deficient, the analysis said, according to a summary released by Rep. Henry Waxman of California, the senior Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

The bill also would give state officials the authority to waive some requirements and would require the EPA to defer to them.

Beginning early next year Bank of America will begin charging debit card users $5 each month for using their cards nationwide.

“This new fee allows us to continue to offer the service and convenience customers have come to expect from Bank of America,” said Bank of America spokeswoman Betty Reiss in an email. “It will still include: fraud protection, $0 Liability, over-draft prevention, record-keep-ing, fraud monitoring, and sav-ings programs such as Keep the Change and Add-It-Up.”

The bank did not state an exact date for the new changes. Impacted customers will be no-tified in writing at least 30 days before the bank begins assess-ing the monthly fee, Reiss said.

Customers who want to continue using the bank’s debit cards will have to pay the monthly fee, Reiss said.

The fee will apply to custom-ers who use their debit card for purchases, both PIN and signa-ture.

“It’s hard to tell if other bank-ing institutions will begin charg-ing the same fees,” said Erika Ross, Assistant Vice President of Marketing for Isabella Bank and Trust. “Speaking for Isa-bella Bank, we currently do not charge a monthly fee on our debit cards and it has not been a topic of conversation.”

Customers who don’t use the debit card for a purchase in a given month will not be charged, Reiss said.

Customers who don’t want to pay this fee can continue to ac-cess their checking accounts to get cash from ATMs, through online bill pay, and increasingly through their mobile phones and with person-to-person transfers, Reiss said.

“Again, our goal is to ensure that we are clear in our commu-nications with customers about

our fees,” Reiss said. “We have structured our products so that customers understand what they are getting and how much it costs.”

Customers that bring more business to the bank won’t have to pay the $5 fee to Bank of America, she said.

She said the the debit card will be one of the many com-plimentary services available to customers in certain “premium accounts.” Clients that have a Wealth Management/Merrill Lynch and US Trust will not be charged the fee.

Dearborn freshman Amanda Balaka said she would probably leave her bank if they started charging monthly debit card fees.

“I shouldn’t have to pay to give them business,” Balaka said. “Sometimes you don’t have that much money in your account, so those fees make a difference.”

Corn Maze for a Cure will use autumn activities to raise money for breast cancer edu-cation and research.

From 2 to 6 p.m. on Sun-day at Papa’s Pumpkin Patch, 3909 S. Summerton Road, participants will have the op-portunity to do activities with prizes involved. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation.

“We’re expecting a pretty big turnout to generate a lot for the foundation, and that would be really awesome,” said Romeo junior Gretchen

Wilt, one of the organizers of the event.

The event is being orga-nized as an assignment for RPL 430: Planning Recreation Programs and Events.

Wilt said the activities will include a corn maze with a scavenger hunt, pumpkin painting, a hayride and mak-ing caramel apples.

“There will also be a raffle drawing, so we have prizes like pizza, a movie night, bowling, different dinners at places like Fazoli’s and oth-ers,” Wilt said.

The corn maze has six sta-tions, each with numbered breast cancer ribbons, Wilt said. Participants with all six ribbons at the end of the event will receive a T-shirt.

“The person with the best painted pumpkin is going to receive a free art class from Art Reach downtown,” Wilt said.

Belding senior Caitlin Re-gan said participating in the corn maze will cost $7.50, but parents are able to accom-pany their children and do not have to pay if they do not want to participate.

“We sent a bunch of flyers at the beginning of Septem-ber and a little reminder flyer this past week, gearing more toward community mem-bers and families in Mount Pleasant,” Regan said. “Some college students might be in-terested in coming, but prob-ably mostly family members, so we’re hoping to get a good turnout.”

Regan said the Komen Foundation is something she is passionate about.

“Actually, I’m walking in the three-day breast cancer walk at the end of October before Halloween. I’m fly-ing to Tampa to do the walk

with my mom and my little sister,” Regan said. “The rea-son we are walking is because my aunt passed away from breast cancer and my other aunt is a survivor.”

Regan said she needs to raise $2,300 to participate in the walk and the event on Sunday would help her reach her goal.

Oxford junior Jesse Hayes said the group had been planning the event since the first week of classes.

“We have worked very hard, basically nonstop since we got the assignment,” she said.

Hayes said she hopes for good weather on Sunday.

“I’m very excited about it,” she said. “This is what I want to do for my career, plan events, so I’m hoping this is a good stepping-off point.”

BAGHDAD — Baghdad was shaken Thursday for the second day in a row by a series of bomb blasts that claimed at least 18 lives and left 40 people wounded.

Thursday’s explosions came in the Sadr City dis-trict of eastern Baghdad, the stronghold of radical Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army mi-litia.

They came the day after a series of explosions targeted mostly security facilities in the Iraqi capital, claiming the lives of 23 Iraqis and wound-ing more than 70.

Thursday’s blasts began with the detonation of a so-called “sticky bomb” that had been attached to a parked car near a Sadr City market, said Hakim al-Zamili, a Sad-rist lawmaker and a member of parliament’s Security and Defense Committee. “When people gathered, two other roadside bombs detonated,” he said.

The two days of coordi-

nated blasts underscored the fragile security situation in Baghdad just weeks before all U.S. troops are to with-draw from the country. Iraqi officials have requested that 5,000 American trainers stay on past Dec. 31, but they’ve said the trainers won’t be granted immunity from pros-ecution under Iraqi laws, a condition that the U.S. previ-ously has called a deal break-er. U.S. officials have said talks are continuing, but Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said this week that Iraq was wait-ing for a “yes or no” response.

Zamili, who was visiting the wounded in a hospital Thurs-day, blamed the explosions on the indifference of the country’s security officials.

“The security officials don’t really care about people and their lives because they live in the heavy protected green zone and they never feel the danger,” he said.

Zamili said he expected even more attacks because terrorist groups had infil-trated the country’s security forces.

Event raises money for breast cancer

By Orrin Shawl

Two people were airlifted to medical centers Monday eve-ning after a car accident in-volving a train.

Heather Foster, a 20-year-old Rosebush resident, was driving westbound in a 2006 GMC Envoy at 8:47 p.m. on Denver Road when she failed to yield the right of way to a train crossing at the railroad grade crossing, just west of Mission Road. The train struck the Envoy between the driver’s door and the driver’s side pas-senger door. The vehicle was pushed north by the train across the railroad for one-fifth of a mile before stopping.

The accident left Foster with a potentially broken left arm, head and facial injuries. She was airlifted from the scene of the accident to Hurley Medical Trauma Center in Flint.

The accident also caused unknown injuries to the En-voy passenger and 20-year-old Mount Pleasant resident Levi Light.

Light was transported to Central Michigan Community Hospital, 1221 South Drive, and then airlifted to Covenant Hospital in Saginaw.

The train was a Great Lakes Central Locomotive hauling seven cargo cars, along with a second locomotive behind the primary locomotive. The engi-neer was 32-year-old Owosso resident Joshua Whorley, who did not sustain any injury dur-ing the accident.

According to a press release sent out by the Isabella County Sheriff’s Department, Whor-ley said the vehicle was not going to stop and he applied the brakes on the locomotive train prior to the Denver Road crossing.

The press release said the in-vestigation revealed the driver wasn’t paying attention to the upcoming rail crossing, nor did she see or hear the train.

Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said accidents involving trains do not happen very often.

“We got maybe three train accidents over the last seven years,” Mioduszewski said.

Mioduszewski said as peo-

ple approach the tracks, they should be looking both ways to see if there’s a train before pro-ceeding across the tracks.

“Any time you come near railroad tracks, especially if it’s out in the country where they don’t have the arms and lights going, you should be looking and expecting that there may be a train coming, that way you can stop in time,” Mio-duszewski said.

Drugs and alcohol were not believed to be factors in the in-cident. A seatbelt was worn by Light and it is unknown if Fos-ter had a seatbelt on.

The Isabella County Sheriff’s Department was assisted by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police, the Isabella Northeast Fire Department, Mobile Med-ical Response and Flightcar.

HANDGUN stoleN from veHicle iN WAysiDe ceNtrAl pArkiNG lot

Officers from the Mount Pleasant Police Department are currently investigating the theft of a semi-automatic 9 mm handgun.

The handgun was allegedly stolen out of a locked Ford Taurus when it was broken into at 4:14 p.m. Oct. 5 in the parking lot of Wayside Central, 2000 S. Mission St.

Cash was also stolen from the vehicle.

No suspects have been iden-tified yet, said Mount Pleasant Police Public Information Offi-cer Jeff Browne.

“It’s always a concern of ours when any kind of weapon is stolen,” Browne said. “Not only could the weapon be used for some sort of crime in our com-munity, but that weapon could be utilized in a crime in any other community as well. You just don’t know what some-body’s going to do with it.”

siGNs stoleN from siX loUNGe, Were ‘cArefUlly removeD’

Mount Pleasant Police offi-cers are currently investigating a larceny of two signs from the inside of SIX Lounge, 1088 S. University St.

One of the signs was a black and white, laminated sign tak-en out of the bathroom, valued at approximately $15.

The other sign is a large black and white vinyl banner taken out of the store, valued at $125.

Both signs say “SIX Lounge” on them.

Mount Pleasant Police Pub-lic Information Officer Jeff Browne said this happened on Oct. 4, but was not reported until 12:40 a.m. on Oct. 6.

“One was taken out of the bathroom, one was taken out of the store,” Browne said. “Somebody actually care-fully removed (the banner). It wasn’t ripped off the wall. The screws were gone. It appears it had been removed cleanly from the area. Whoever did it, I guess they had a screwdriver on them.”

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Some college students grab part-time jobs at lo-cal stores or the school library for extra cash. Me-gan Monroe, a graduate student at the University of Maryland, builds mo-bile apps.

The mobile app market is booming — with rev-enues projected to sur-pass $15 billion in 2011, according to Berg Insight — and entrepreneurial student programmers like Monroe are cashing in.

Monroe’s moneymaker is an iPhone drawing app called PulsART. It sells for 99 cents and is down-loaded three to five times a day in countries such as Brazil, Italy and Japan.

“You’d be surprised. It adds up. I have a couple of apps out. Those make

me a couple of bucks a day,” said Monroe, who uses the money to cover a few bills or groceries.

Monroe doesn’t expect to get rich.

“It’s hard to make a big slash in the app store if you’re just sort of an in-dependent designer and you’re making pitchy, al-most silly, useless stuff,” said Monroe, who is studying computer sci-ence at the university.

Some college students have created wildly suc-cessful entertainment apps. A team at Stanford University designed Air Guitar, which allows us-ers to simulate playing the guitar on an iPhone. Engineering students at the University of South-ern California developed Radio, an app that gives users access to thousands of radio stations world-wide.

Though there is money to be made in the enter-tainment app market, computer science profes-sors at the University of Maryland said they are encouraging students to focus on developing apps that improve the quality of everyday life.

“Fun apps are fun. One can always make money from whatever appeals. I’m not too excited about that kind of thing,” said Ashok Agrawala, profes-sor of computer science at the university.

Agrawala and a team of student programmers re-cently launched a mobile app called M-Urgency, which allows people on campus who are in dis-tress to send video and audio from the scene to emergency dispatchers and police officers with the push of a button.

A bipartisan pair of Michi-gan lawmakers have pro-posed a bill that would allow pharmacies across the state to redistribute prescription medication.

Rep. Jim Ananich, D-Flint, and Rep. Joel Johnson, R-Clare, are sponsoring the legislation, which would give medical facilities the ability to give unused drugs to pharmacies around the state, should they choose to participate.

The bill requires any do-nated drugs to have never left medical facilities and be constantly monitored.

Any participating phar-macies would also be re-quired to become disposal sites for unused drugs.

“This legislation will give our communities an-other tool to reduce the crime and addiction that result from the misuse of prescription drugs,” Anan-ich said in a press release. “Working across party lines, we can help protect our kids and our environ-ment.”

The bill worries Jim Hor-ton, pharmacist and owner of Downtown Drugs Soda Shoppe, 121 E. Broadway St.

“I don’t like this,” Horton said. “I’ve seen bills like this in other states, and it scares me. It really scares me. Who’s going to be re-sponsible for ensuring the drugs are safe?”

According to the press release from Ananich’s of-fice, 39 other states have programs similar to the one being proposed. The bill also ensures that all medical goods have been safely stored and trans-

ported.Sam Nunn, pharmacist for

Mission Pharmacy, 926 S. Mission St., has similar feel-ings to Horton and said he would not participate in the proposed program.

“It’s just a liability issue,” Nunn said. “I have no way of knowing for sure if the drugs are safe, and I’d be uncom-fortable redistributing these drugs.”

Both Horton and Nunn

are supporters of the portion of the bill that would require participating pharmacies to properly dispose of unused drugs. Both pharmacies par-ticipate in the Yellow Jug Old Drugs program, which col-lects and disposes of drugs.

“Recycling is important to us, and making sure that our water supply is safe is a pri-ority,” Nunn said.

for Charter Schools at CMU who asked not to be named. Last year, they had 55 char-ter schools with enrollment of 28,500 students.

The number of charter schools authorized by CMU would remain “about the same” if the bill package passes, Shields said.

The legislation would lift geographical as well as nu-merical limits on charter schools, widening the op-portunities for new charter

schools.The spokesman said un-

der the current law, high performing charter schools can convert to Michigan “Schools of Excellence,” al-lowing a new charter spot to open up. The new char-ter school must be placed in an area that has less than 75 percent graduation rate. The legislation would get rid of this requirement and allow charter schools to open in districts with graduation rates above 75 percent.

The bill package would also eliminate the require-

ment that districts have to abide by collective bargain-ing agreements.

The spokesman said most charters are not represent-ed by a teachers union. In school districts, the charter school must go along with the teachers’ contract in the rest of the district.

The legislation would al-low authorization of a char-ter without the teachers’ contract. Charter schools could then choose whether or not to use the teachers’ contract.

“I think it’s a great score and I think it’s much more appropri-ate,” Meade said. “I haven’t re-ceived any outward adversity.”

Along with Meade, Illinois ju-nior MyAngela Jenkins said she has not witnessed any hostility on campus toward LGBTQ stu-dents either.

“I’m proud of Central,” Jen-

kins said. “I’m glad this is a col-lege that is open and accepting.”

The survey was created in 2007, and, at the time, only had 30 colleges participating. Now it has more than 300 participat-ing.

The survey contains 55 ques-tions regarding the types of services and rights a campus

has to offer LGBTQ students. It includes categories of housing, campus safety, support and in-stitutional commitment.

CMU’s lowest score came from housing and residence life, which earned three out of five stars. Everything else was fine, Jolliff said.

The Environmental Protec-tion Agency awarded Central Michigan University $247,159 to create gull-free zones in Ot-tawa County beaches used for biology research.

The department will lease border collies to keep the seagulls away.

Biology Professor Elizabeth Alm said she hopes there will be an improvement in water quality for swimming.

Currently, there are con-cerns about microorganisms carried by the seagulls that can cause disease or illness in humans.

“It’s an issue in the eyes of both the public and the public health department,” Alm said.

The grant was awarded through the EPA’s Great Lakes Restoration Initiative pro-gram.

The program will begin in May 2012 and will run for two years.

“Dr. Alm and I have been interested in this topic for

many years,” said Biology Pro-fessor Thomas Gehring.

The biology department ap-plied for the competitive grant in March and was awarded funding in September.

Whitecloud senior Dustin Jordan will conduct research on how bacteria levels are affected by removing the seagulls.

“This project is fairly unique in that there isn’t much litera-ture on the subject,” he said. “Dogs have been used in chas-ing geese off airport runways in the past, but this is a first...It’s pretty cool to be working on something so innovative.”

Using dogs will provide not only a non-lethal method of clearing up the beaches, but also a more attractive means than using string or pyrotech-nic flares, Alm said.

“This is the most acceptable method to the public, less in-terfering,” she said.

The dogs will be considered working animals and will pos-sibly have to wear jackets to identify them while they are working. There is no concern that the dogs will harm or kill the seagulls, Alm said.

The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative is part of a program set up by the Obama adminis-tration to deal with systemwide problems in the region, such as invasive species, habitat de-struction and toxic pollution.

Ten other recipients have received funding in Michigan as part of the grant, which was $4.7 million total. The propos-als were selected based on a scientific review.

“We are very excited,” Alm said. “We have been wanting to do this for a few years and we’re glad to have the money to get started.”

EPA awards $247,159 to biology dept. for beach, seagull research

Peters said she sees enroll-ment as a service division and the customers are students, faculty and the community. She is a firm believer in access and quality of student enroll-ment, even if it is harder work, she said.

During her interview, Uni-versity President George Ross asked her how she handles a hard decision.

“I look at everything, I always listen to my gut and then I make the best decision for my cus-

tomer,” Peters said. “I told Presi-dent Ross today, ‘Don’t hire me if you don’t want honesty.’”

During the forum question-naire time, Kennedy asked Peters what she would do to improve student retention. Pe-ters said CMU needs concerted efforts and management to en-hance retention.

“You can get a lot more done when you collaborate and work together,” Peters said. “I know that sounds corny, but it doesn’t happen naturally; you need leadership to get it started.”

Kennedy said she liked how Peters did not bounce around her question.

Kevin Williams, associate di-

rector of admissions and minor-ity enrollment, said he was im-pressed with her background.

“She has experience in all of the areas that would be report-ing to her,” Williams said. “I think she did great.”

The other finalist for the new position is Steven Johnson, as-sociate vice president for en-rollment management at How-ard University. Johnson’s open forum was Monday.

Williams said Ross is likely to make his decision between the two in a month and hopes to have the new position filled by Jan. 1, 2012.

Jolliff said there were only 200 chairs in Powers and more were needed because of the large amount of people.

“Everyone loves Sabin. Sometimes life gets so serious and (Sabin) brings such laugh-ter to campus which is needed, because it is midterms week and everyone is stressed, so it’s a good opportunity to laugh and have fun,” Jolliff said. “They like the fact that they can come, and even though they may get picked on, it’s all fun.”

IN THE NEWSHEDGE FuND INSIDER SENTENCED To 11 yEARS

By Tiffany Hsu and Nathaniel PopperLos Angeles Times

LOS ANGELES — Hedge fund magnate Raj Rajaratnam was sentenced to 11 years in prison — the longest sen-tence ever for an insider-trad-ing case, prosecutors said.

The Galleon Group founder was convicted in May on 14 counts of con-spiracy and securities fraud

following a two-month trial. Many considered the conviction to be the heavi-est clampdown on Wall Street bad behavior since Ivan Boesky went to prison for two years in the 1980s.

Rajaratnam’s conduct “reflects a virus in our busi-ness culture that needs to be eradicated,” said U.S. District Judge Richard J. Holwell while handing down the sentence.

When asked by Holwell if he wanted to speak, Raja-ratnam tersely refrained.

Prosecutors relied on ex-tensive electronic wiretaps to nab Rajaratnam, who was found guilty of mak-ing more than $50 million in illicit profits by acting on secrets from contacts at upper-echelon firms such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc., McKinsey & Co. and Google Inc.

Meet StephanieAt nine years old, Stephanie lost her mother to breast cancer. Two years later, her father died of cancer as well.

“That was a dark time,” Stephanie remembers, “but I didn’t let it control me or make me quit on myself. I decided that I’d grow up and try to make a difference for other kids like I was—those who lost their parents and need some extra support.”

Stephanie found a lot of support at MMCC. Due in part to help from MMCC employees,

she received the largest private scholarship offered to community college transfer students and will receive up to $30,000 to finish her bachelor’s degree at CMU. Her

degree will help her pursue a career in cancer research. Only three other students from Michigan have received this scholarship since its establishment in 2000. Only 60 awards were granted this year from 785 applications.

Those are tough odds, But, then again, Stephanie’s had to face tough

odds before. And Mid Michigan Community College has helped her

get started.

The defensive back leads the team in tackles (56) and intercep-tions (3) and is tied for first with one forced fumble this season.

Addae and the Chippewas de-fense have their hands full with an Eagles run game that averages 209 yards per game — third best in the Mid-American Conference.

Running back Javonti Green leads the rushers, averaging 63.3 yards per game.

“They’re a run-heavy team,” Ad-dae said. “They have a good quar-terback who can run the ball and can throw as well and they have good backs and receivers that get open and make plays for them.”

The Eagles quarterback, Alex Gillett, has thrown for 623 yards this season, completing almost 52 percent of his passes.

The junior has thrown four touchdowns and five interceptions in an offense ranked 12th in the MAC in pass offense (106.5 yards per game).

As a mobile option for EMU, Gil-lett averages 52.7 yards rushing, scoring twice.

CMU came out on top of a 52-14 game last season in which quar-terback Ryan Radcliff threw for 254 yards and Cody Wilson caught

three passes for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Radcliff is coming into the game looking to erase memories from his last two quarters of play in which he threw four interceptions in a 38-24 loss to North Carolina State.

“(Radcliff ) forced the football in the second half, where in the first he made good decisions,” said head coach Dan Enos. “He threw 15-of-17 in the first half and we think he gives us the best chance

to win. We’ve got to run the ball and remain balanced.”

Senior Paris Cotton has record-ed back-to-back 100-yard perfor-mances on the ground this season.

Under head coach Ron English, EMU is a perfect 4-0 when holding its opponents under 100 yards on the ground.

“On film they’re a lot better team than last year,” Cotton said. “They want to stop the run and they’re a

Central Michigan has won five of its last six Homecoming games and looks to win its third-straight game against Eastern Michigan Uni-versity Saturday.

CMU is 55-28-1 in its Homecom-ing games and 55-27-6 against the Eagles all-time.

“The fans come out and we love the energy,” said junior Jahleel Addae. “We feed on their energy and they feed on ours. We need to come out and make some big plays.”

H O M E C O M I N G P R E V I E W

Chippewas aim to win third-straight against EMU

FILE PHOTOS BY SEAN PROCTORJunior linebacker Alex Smith and sophomore Shamari Benton wrap up Eastern Michigan junior running back Corey Welch, forcing a fumble that was recovered by Central Michigan on Sept. 18, 2010 during the second half of play at Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti.

One of the highlights of the fall semester is college foot-

ball Saturdays.Wake up early and tailgate.

Roommates go out eating and drinking with friends before heading into Kelly/Shorts Sta-dium for at least a half, hopefully. They have no worries about tests or class because it’s Saturday.

Wait, that’s not normal here? It’s only happened once so far this year.

After Saturday, that’s all over with for the year. Done. Finished.

The 2011 season will have two more home games for CMU, both mid-week.

It saddens me.When I stayed with friends for

the Central Michigan/Michigan State game a few weeks ago, they knew how to do it. They had their Saturday morning tailgating scripted to a T.

I was woken up against my will at about nine to a delicious, hearty breakfast. Eggs, bacon, French toast, anything your heart would desire. Then there’s obviously the typical drinking that begins before ten (don’t worry CM Life, I was busy get-ting ready to work, completely sober).

Then you walk to the tailgates hours early to enjoy more food and festivities with friends.

If you haven’t experienced that here, don’t worry, you’re probably not alone. How could you have a routine of something if it happens twice a year?

Because of monetary reasons CMU is only playing two home Saturday football games this year.

Two.That’s ridiculous. College foot-

ball is made for Saturdays where the students, alumni, family and friends come together, relax and watch football. This year the only way that’s possible is if they’re getting in their cars and driving throughout the Midwest.

CMU only has five home games this year. That’s because the Chippewas must go on the road during the non-conference schedule to make money for the entire athletics program.

It stinks for students, players, fans and local businesses, but I understand why it has to be done. Somehow athletics has to make money to afford all the sports travel, equipment, coach-ing salaries and so on.

But playing three of those five home games mid-week is silly. Mid-week games take away the college football experience for the students, players, fans, alumni and everyone involved.

Tailgating is cut short or eliminated by classes, home-work and studying when it’s on a Thursday.

That’s if the students can even make it to the game. Everyone has to have those dreaded three-hour night classes at some point before graduation.

Guess why CMU is playing all these mid-week games.

That’s right, once again, it’s money.

The TV contract the Mid-American Conference has with ESPN is forcing games away from Saturdays and moving them Thursday and Friday nights.

That’s great for ESPN 2 and ESPNU to fill eventless nights with college football. But it takes the college football intensity and uniqueness away from schools like CMU.

So please, don’t sleep in too late tomorrow. Don’t blow off the tailgate to just relax or be-cause you’re hungover. Go out and enjoy it.

It’s the last one of the year.

Central Michigan running back Austin White has been indefinitely suspended from the football team.

White, a Michigan transfer, has been ineligible to play this season because of NCAA transfer rules. No further comments have been made by athletics officials.

Aside from the suspension, two captains, linebacker Mike Petrucci and nose guard John Williams are sidelined with injuries.

Head coach Dan Enos ruled Pe-trucci out for Saturday’s Home-coming game against Eastern Michigan and said he didn’t expect Williams to be able to take the field for the rest of the season, suffering

Austin White suspended indefinitely, no reason givenPetrucci, Williams, sidelined in game against EMU

from a lingering knee injury.

Enos spoke of the leadership of cornerback Taylor Bradley during the preseason, though a torn Achilles ten-don has him side-lined for the sea-son.

While the injured role players will still act as leaders off the field, the Chippewas defense is in need of players who will step up and take control on the field.

Jahleel Addae has done his part to pump up the defense with his big hits and energy at this point in the season.

“(Addae) is a vocal guy; he’s real loud,” Petrucci said. “He plays loud too, he hits hard and it really gives us an energy boost, especially the secondary.”

The junior leads the team with 56 tackles this season, adding three

interceptions and a forced fumble to his stat sheet. He said he hopes his high energy on the field is contagious for his teammates.

“I like play-ing with en-ergy and pas-

sion and I love the game,” Addae said. “I hope it spills over to my teammates. I would love the guys on the team to have the same juice and when they have juice it gives me juice.”

Taking a leadership position on the field is a heavier responsibility for the upperclassmen, but Petrucci said the young guys have caught on quick.

“It’s a little more stress on the old-er guys,” Petrucci said. “You’ve got to worry about where the younger guys are, but for the most part I think the younger guys have been

catching on pretty well. (Ryan) Pet-ro and Cody Lopez have been doing great all year.”

In five games, Lopez has recorded 25 tackles as a true freshman and Petro has added six.

Other leaders on the defensive side of the ball include seniors John Carr and Armond Staten, and ju-niors Lorenzo White, Steven Win-ston and Joe Kinville.

With nine first year players on the defensive depth chart this week, Enos expects to see the inevitable mistakes that freshmen make early on in their careers.

That being said, CMU’s defense is 10th in the MAC in total defense and last in pass defense.

“I think those guys have a lot of potential and a lot of ability,” Enos said. “It’s where they go from here that’s going to determine how they’ll compare to the other linebackers that have come out of here.”

Williams had a team-high 11 tackles in EMU’s 54-16 loss against Toledo last weekend. He is second on the team with 42 tackles.

Reason to watch: He will be all over the field against CMU on Saturday.

It’s been a run-ning back com-mittee that has propelled East-ern Michigan to an average of 209 rushing yards per game. Four running backs have more than 245 yards rushing this season for EMU.

Reason to watch: White rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown last week.

Gillett is a dual-threat quar-terback, but running game carries the team.He’s attempted 89 fewer passes than Radcliff.

Reason to watch: It will be inter-esting to see if Gillett tries to at-tack a CMU defense that ranks last in the MAC in pass defense, allowing 240.8 yards per game.

Radcliff is al-ways in the spotlight. He has the ability to make plays, but his play has been in-consistent.

Reason to watch: Anything can happen when Radcliff has the ball. Expect Radcliff to attack an EMU defense that only has three interceptions in six games.

Cotton has been the catalyst for the CMU run game since the Northern Illi-nois game when he rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown.

Reason to watch: He rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns against EMU last season. He’s been a factor lately and should be again.

Losiniecki has filled in well for senior NG John Williams. He has 12 tackles and leads the team in sacks with two.

Reason to watch: Eastern Michi-gan is third in the Mid-American Conference in rushing offense, averaging 209 yards per game. Losiniecki will be an important factor in stopping the run.

”“On film they’re a lot better team than last year,” Cotton said. “They want to stop the run and they’re a lot more athletic – a lot more physical.” “ Senior running back Paris Cotton about EMU.

Eastern Michigan has the third-best rush-ing offense in the Mid-American Conference.

The Eagles have four

running backs who have rushed for more than 200 yards this sea-son.

EMU quarterback Alex Gillett is a dual-threat quarterback, which will give CMU trouble.

CMU needs to be effective with its run game to be successful. I expect Paris Cotton to have another big game and carry the team to a victory on its home-coming.

CMU 31, EMU 17

CMU has put up more than 50 points against EMU the past three games. They don’t get 50, but win.

CMU 42, EMU 31

If the Chippewas can stop the run, they’ll remain undefeated at home.

Central Michigan Life || Friday, Oct. 14, 2011 || 3B

By Brandon ChampionStaff Reporter

The Central Michigan women’s soccer team defeat-ed Western Michigan 3-1 in last season’s Mid-American Conference championship game.

At 4 p.m. today they meet again in Kalamazoo for the first time since that match.

“Any time you knock some-body out when a champion-ship is on the line, its going to fuel a team,” head coach Neil Stafford said. “I’m sure they will be looking for revenge.”

The in-state showdown with the Broncos is one of two games this weekend. CMU plays Northern Illinois at 1 p.m. on Sunday in CMU’s first two games against MAC West division oppo-nents this season.

“You always want to do well in your own division,” Staf-ford said.

The last four regular sea-son meetings between the Chippewas and Broncos have all been 1-0 games, three of them being won by the Chip-pewas.

“Western is a good team,” senior defender Liesel Toth said. “It’s going to be fun and it’s definitely going to be a battle.”

The Broncos feature a dan-gerous offensive attack led by reigning MAC Offensive Player of the Year, Stephanie Skowneski. The senior has six goals and seven assists and leads the conference in points. She is joined by junior forward Anina Cicerone who is tied for second in the con-ference with seven goals.

“We’re just going to focus

on our game plan,” Stafford said. “But you always have to pay special attention to play-ers who are doing well, but at the same time if you get too focused on one person, someone else will get you.”

The Chippewas play North-ern Illinois in Dekalb, Ill. on Sunday. NIU is led by sopho-more forward Frances Bouki-dis who has two goals and three assists on the year. The Huskies have struggled this season and have recorded only two wins, but CMU isn’t overlooking them.

“Any team in the MAC can beat you,” Stafford said. “NIU is not an easy place to play. They have a difficult surface and they’re a capable team, so we will be ready for them.”

CMU soccer faces in-state rival WMU and NIU in first MAC West games

FiLe photo by Libby MarCh Ontario junior Ashley Mejilla forces the ball out from between Bowling Green players on Oct. 9, 2011.

Sports are a game of what-ifs — especially on

the losing side.What if the team didn’t

cough up the ball in its zone? What if it didn’t foul on that play? What if it took advantage of its scoring opportunities? But after the game, there is nothing that can be done to change the outcome.

The women’s soccer team has not had to dwell on many what-ifs so far this season — at least not yet. CMU has jumped out to a 10-1-3 start, including impressive non-conference wins against Wisconsin, Louis-ville and Pittsburgh.

But of the Chippewas 10 wins, five have been by one goal. Not saying this is an alarming statistic, consider-ing that soccer is a relatively

Soccer team needs to capitalize on scoring opportunities

low-scoring game, but with the dominant performances it has displayed this season, CMU should be winning games by a larger margin.

The team statistics through the first 14 games have been mind-boggling. It has outshot its opponents 216-136, while holding an advantage in corner kicks, 90-38.

CMU fired 16 shots in the first half against Bowling Green Sunday, but could only muster one goal.

It was able to sustain pressure in the offensive zone through-out the half, but could not capi-talize on scoring chances. On Friday, the Chippewas ringed two shots off the crossbar and squandered multiple other op-portunities to build their lead.

With only five games re-maining before the Mid-Amer-ican Conference tournament, CMU needs to concentrate on making the most of its chances.

I do not want CMU to look back at a game in the MAC or NCAA tournament and say, what if we could have buried just one or two more scoring opportunities? Don’t get me

wrong, the Chippewas are an exciting team to watch. They are quick, disciplined, possess strong ball movement and are once again one of the top teams in the MAC.

But come tournament time, teams tend to elevate their game to the next level. It will only get harder to score from here on out. Even if CMU outplays its opponent, in the playoffs, anything can happen.

Offensively, CMU needs a player to step up and be that primary goal scorer to carry the team. I’m not calling for the offense to revolve around one player, but I want to see that player take advantage of the opportunities.

Right now, no player has more than three goals, but 11 different players have scored this season – which is a tribute to CMU’s depth. This is what makes them so dynamic. The opposition cannot target just one player, which opens up more scoring chances for everyone.

However, the question is: Who will be the one to capital-ize most effectively?

The first of the ‘bigger races’ as assistant coach Matt Kaczor described earlier in the season, has arrived.

To help the Central Michigan women’s cross-country team run better in the Pre-Nationals race Sunday, Kaczor tried a new approach.

For five minutes, Kaczor played music and told them to lay on the track with their eyes closed and visualize themselves running well.

The practice and prepara-tions are aimed for the the Pre-National race at 11:40 a.m. on Sunday in Terra Haute, Ind.

The Chippewas enter the weekend ranked No. 9 in the Great Lakes Region of the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association polls. They are unranked in the USTFCCCA national poll.

Kaczor said he is looking for junior Maddie Ribant and sophomore Krista Parks to lead CMU.

“I’d like to see how they do,” Kaczor said. “I’d really like to see

Women prepare for Pre-NationalsC r o s s - C o u n t r y

them put it together this week-end. I believe they can.”

Junior runner Charnele Ly-ons, who was redshirted last year, ran in the Pre-Nationals two years ago in her sophomore year of eligibility. She said the team is poised to run well in the race.

“We just really need a fifth runner and we have a couple girls that have the potential to do really, really well,” Lyons said.

“We’re enjoying running togeth-er, it’s such a good feeling. It feels like nothing can bring us down.”

The men’s and women’s teams were pulled out of the Michigan Intercollegiate Championships to rest for this weekend.

“We were just trying to keep everyone healthy and get our-selves ready for Pre-Nation-als,” Kaczor said.

The Central Michigan vol-leyball team looks to hit its stride this week with all play-ers back in the lineup.

The team travels to face Bowling Green and Miami (OH), a pair of Mid-American Conference East opponents.

“We’ve got some girls back coming off of injuries and we’re playing to be us,” said sophomore libero Jenna Coates. “Going out there and being us is our main focus.”

CMU has faced three inju-ries to senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz, junior out-side hitter Val DeWeerd and junior right side hitter Jocelyn VerVelde.

“We’ve only been coaching this group for four weeks,” said head coach Erik Olson. “We’re getting better and we know we haven’t peaked yet.”

The Falcons are playing for more than just a MAC Cham-pionship this season.

“Bowling Green is playing for their coach (Denise Van De Walle), who is retiring af-ter this season,” Coates said. “They’re playing hard ball and putting up a fight.”

The MAC East division brings on a new challenge for CMU because it’s used to the fast offense in the MAC West. The East division tends to run slower offenses and Olson said slower doesn’t necessar-ily mean worse.

“They do some weird things and I think it’s just to throw off defenses by creating chaos and confusion,” Olson said. “They play hard and run a slower offense.”

MIAMIThe Chippewas get the Red-

Hawks on Saturday.“Miami always seems to

play together as a team,” Ol-son said. “They pass much better than last season.”

The Chippewas haven’t seen

a MAC-East team this year and Bowling Green and Miami are .500 in conference play.

CMU sits fifth of six in the MAC West division and can’t afford to lose ground, Coates said.

“These games are pretty big,” Coates said. “They are both in the East and we just have to take these two.”

This week marks the first time the Chippewas hit the road since their five-week road trip that ended two weeks ago.

“It doesn’t really bother us,” Coates said. “It’s nice being at home, but as long as we stay together and positive, we’ll be fine.”

Central Michigan isn’t expecting the same-old Eastern Michigan football team this weekend.

Central Michigan has averaged 51 points per game against EMU the past four seasons, but the Eagles have improved.

They have the fifth-best scoring defense in the Mid-American Con-ference and that’s with Michigan and Penn State on the schedule.

“They’re much im-p r o v e d from last y e a r , ” said CMU q u a r t e r -back Ryan R a d c l i f f . “You know you’re going to get a good game Satur-day.”

Radcliff thinks EMU’s defense will provide a tougher test than last year.

“They got a couple of re-ally big safeties,” Radcliff said. “Their cornerbacks are quick and skilled. Up front they have a lot of guys that go hard.

The EMU defensive front had no answer for CMU running back Paris Cotton last season when he rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns.

Junior linebacker Jus-

Eastern Michigan could prove to be a formidable opponent

tin Cudworth leads EMU’s defense. He has a team-high 48 tackles and two forced fumbles.

EMU quarterback Alex Gil-lett has rushed for 316 yards and two touchdowns while passing for 623 yards and four touchdowns. He looks to improve from last year’s loss, despite passing 12-for-20 for 148 yards and a touchdown.

However, Gillett is prone to turnovers, throwing five interceptions this season.

CMU safety Jahleel Ad-dae is tied for the MAC lead with three interceptions and said he anticipates a lot of running. With EMU having four rushers with more than 230 yards on the ground this season, that isn’t far off. The team has also attempted more than twice as many

rushing at-tempts as passes.

“We pride ourselves in t o u g h n e s s ,” Addae said. “We have to line up right and then hit them in the mouth when the ball comes.”

It doesn’t look like CMU is preparing for another blow-out. Enos sees a dangerous team coming in at 3 p.m. on Saturday in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“They’re a very good team in our conference,” Enos said. “They’re going to play well and they’re going to beat people in the conference.”

lot more athletic — a lot more physical.”

Enos said he liked what he saw this week at practice from Cotton and freshman Anthony Garland and expects them to take the bulk of the carries this week.

“They compliment each other very well and they’re not the same kind of backs,” Enos said. “When you have two guys like that, that’s a real positive.”

On defense, the Chippe-was will be without lineback-er Mike Petrucci, defensive linemen John Williams and Leterrius Walton, who are

sidelined by injuries.Enos expects Williams to be

out for the season, though he anticipates the injured Cody Lopez and Alex Smith to be back in the lineup at lineback-er.

Getting the added depth back on defense will help a Chippewas team sitting at 1-1 in the MAC heading into six-straight conference games to close out the season.

“It’s nice to get those non-conference games out of the way,” Enos said. “We have a six-game season and they all mean a lot. It starts this week-end with Eastern Michigan and it’s good to have our focus on the conference right now.”

HOPES |CONTINUED FROM 1B

By Mark SnyderDetroit Free Press

The game was 10 years ago, but Michigan coach Brady Hoke remembers it well.

Michigan’s 26-24 loss at Spartan Stadium in 2001 is legendary because of the debated final second that allowed Michigan State to throw the winning touch-down pass, but a number of other Michigan problems al-lowed the Spartans to be in position to win.

Michigan was penalized for having 12 men on the

field on one late play, and Michigan defensive back Jeremy LeSueur was flagged for a crucial facemask pen-alty.

Hoke, the defensive line coach on Michigan’s staff back then, was asked during his weekly appearance on WXYT-FM (97.1) on Thurs-day which of the three was the biggest reason for Michi-gan’s loss — the timekeeper or one of the penalties.

“Too many men on the field,” he said. “That was my fault. I was in charge of de-fensive substitution, and I did a poor job. I let that team

down. … Kids are just out there trying to play as hard as they can and do what you ask them to do from a stand-point of whatever we were doing defensively. Coaches shouldn’t make those mis-takes.”

Hoke also touched on oth-er topics:

On being able to stop MSU’s running game Sat-urday: “We’re going to find out. This game has always been physical. The fronts, at the every game, that’s where you find out. Your offensive front, your defensive front, the team that’s had the most

rushing yards the past 41 years, 38 times have won the football game. So it’s always a game where they’re go-ing to line up and knock us off the ball and we’re going to try to do the same thing. We’ve got to respond and punch back.”

On Michigan State’s fans’ passion: “This is two great institutions and a rivalry that’s a lot of fun for every-body. The passion, I’m sure (cohost) Sara’s passionate about Michigan State and we’ve got a lot of passionate people about the University of Michigan.”

By Jeff PapworthStaff Reporter

The Central Michigan field hockey team looks to rebound this weekend after missing a chance to grab the top spot in the Mid-American Conference.

“We have to really make sure we stay positive as we move for-ward,” CMU head coach Cristy Freese said. “We know from watching the tape against Kent (State) that there were a couple goals out there.”

The team is embracing its coach’s message.

“The second you let a game that you’ve already done defeat you, you’re letting them defeat you twice,” CMU midfielder Paulina Lee said.

The Chippewas could sepa-rate themselves from the bot-tom of the pack by beating Mi-ami and Ball State on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

CMU, Miami (OH) and Ball State share third place in the standings with a 3-3 conference record. Bottom feeder Missouri State and perennial powers Ohio and Kent State seem to have etched their place in the standings as the conference sea-son approaches its finish.

“I think it will be emotional for us,” Lee said. “To think, this is our last home weekend and last time we’ll be warming up on our home field, in our locker room, our music… I mean, it’s tough.”

Freese described the two se-niors as great leaders.

“A lot of times when you get to your senior year, sometimes I think kids have already peaked and they don’t work to get any better and Paulina is just some-

Field hockey can separate from packone who is getting better and better,” Freese said.

The two captains will be in-troduced at the beginning of the game, proceeding that, the players will meet with fam-ily members for congratulatory embraces.

“Both my parents and sister have been there for me for ev-erything,” Lee said. “My sister is the main reason I started play-ing field hockey. I kind of fol-lowed her in her footsteps and of course I have to give it out to my parents, dedicating them-selves to coming out to see my games in any kind of weather.”

Lee said the last two home games of her career will be meaningful.

“This one is a little more heartfelt because it is mine and Brooke’s last weekend at home ever at Central Michigan,” Lee said. “We love having our family up. We love having our friends

up or people who just pass by and wonder what field hockey is, so any kind of fan support we get always boost our spirits.”

Central Michigan field hockey seniors Brooke

Sihota and Paulina Lee will play their final home game in their college careers this weekend.

They have played well amidst a number of young teammates in a program that should still contend this sea-son and in the near future.

Lee aided the offensive side of the field with a team-leading six assists and two goals this season and was a recipient of the Bill Boyden award for her efforts on and off the field.

CMU has promising legacy Sihota has a defensive prow-

ess that has been her means of providing support to the team and was awarded defensive player of the week on one occa-sion this season.

Despite Sihota’s defensive abilities and Lee’s multi-dimensional skills, the team’s chances in 2012 will be as good as any to win the Mid-American Conference regular season championship that has eluded the Chippewas for nine years.

Chippewas goalkeeper Anas-tasia Netto will be entering her fifth year. This season she has transformed into an improved goalie, allowing 1.86 goals per game, which is .82 lower than last season.

The Chippewas also have a plethora of scorers returning. Soon to be senior Erin Dye has been mediocre this season, but looks to return to par.

Experienced freshman Cay-leigh Immelman returns. She continues to find herself at the right place at the right time.

Her one-on-one skills have shined.

She is already past the seven goals last year’s top scorer amounted.

Winning championships is a three-step process: The coach must first incorporate the system into the minds of a majority of the team, the team must compete against the best and subsequently, it must beat the best.

“We’re trying to position our team to not only push for that conference championship this year, but win the conference in 2012,” Freese said at the begin-ning of the season.

It appears that the Chippe-was will do just that next season based on this year’s results.
