Rally hits ArcadiaScreaming fans, cripsy fall

leaves and football players can only mean one thing. �e new new pep rally event, “Paint the Town Brown,” is here. �e event, free of charge, will take place on Friday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place in downtown Kalamazoo.

Bronco Transit buses will be transporting students from Val-ley II to the Arcadia Creek Festi-val Place free of charge beginning

at 6:45 p.m. RSO �nalists for the “Yell like

Hell” event will kick o� the pep rally. Homecoming Court in-troductions, along with perfor-mances from the Bronco March-ing Band and the WMU cheer and dance teams will follow.

�e 1966 Mid American Con-ference champion football team will be honored at the event, said Jim Small, associate vice presi-dent of engagement.

“We want to make sure that people around Kalamazoo know that it’s not just for Western stu-dents and alumni; it’s for the entire community,” said John Greenhoe, director of foundation relations and development.

�e head coach of Broncos Football, Bill Cubit, as well as the team, will a make few key re-marks. Special guest Robin Hook will be the emcee of the night.

“We wanted to bring the cel-ebration back this year,” said homecoming student coordina-tor, Danielle Werle. “We’re hop-ing to make it a tradition.”

Designed to bring attention to Western Michigan University’s homecoming, the Campus Clas-sic will bring almost 1800 people together to participate in one of WMU’s races Saturday morning.

�e “very festive” event will be the 13th annual Campus Clas-sic since 1999, according to Sue Beougher, administrative assis-tant at the University Relations o�ce.

Beougher stated that the Cam-pus Classic is an annual run that was created to bring attention to WMU’s homecoming back when Elson S. Floyd was President of WMU.

“Doctor Floyd believed that WMU’s Homecoming was not up to par,” said Beougher. �ey were challenged to devise some-thing that would bring attention to the campus.

“My boss at the time, [Matt Kruz] said let’s try a run; it worked out so we’ve done it ever since,” she said.

College and high school stu-

dents, parents and their kids, alumni and the general pub-lic, all come to partake in what Beougher explains as something she didn’t fully understand not being an avid runner herself.

“Runners enjoy races and enjoy the opportunity to run in something di�erent. I’m glad we have it on campus,” said Beough-er. “�ey all love it, they have a good time and it promotes a healthy environment.”

Beougher explained that al-though the route has been slight-ly changed due to the construc-tion at Sangren Hall, the lost distance has been made up for in the parking lot by the business college’s Schneider Hall, result-ing in a certi�ed 5k course.

�e �rst 1k Fun Run and Walk will be held at 8:15 a.m. Beougher says parents can walk with their kids and warm up be-fore the 5k race that follows.

A�er the 5k, runners that are the overall �nishers, male and female, receive awards. Top �n-ishers in each of the four team divisions, and top �nishers in speci�c age brackets broken up

between male and female run-ners can receive prizes as well, according to the Campus Classic web page.

Beginning at 8 a.m. in the Ballroom located on the second �oor of the Bernhard Center there will be food and refresh-ments for volunteers and partici-pants.

“�ere will be a brunch a�er the race courtesy of… Subway, Biggby’s, and WMU Catering,” stated Beougher, explaining the perks of attending the event.

�e current male and female record holders are Mike Newk-irk with a time of 14 minutes and 50 seconds, and Jessi Davis with a time of 16 minutes and 46 seconds, both of which were re-corded the Classic’s �rst year in 1999, according to Beougher.

Beougher explained that in-juries are seldom seen, but are treated very professionally. �ere is an ambulance on site, nurses in tents around the campus, and people attending carts at each section to assist the injured.

“�e event is open to the public and… I’ve sent out �y-

ers to over 200 schools in a 50 mile radius,” said Beougher. �ese e�orts are intended to increase participation in record proportions.

Although events run all this week, the Campus Classic is regarded as one of the biggest, drawing people from all over to join in what Beougher re-garded as “enjoyable and healthy.”

Here is a homecom-ing event, a race, one that Beougher compares to others as “not expen-sive at all… with all these perks, who wouldn’t try it out? Dave Rosell, a retiree who’s had a heart trans-plant started running late in life and now runs [the Classic] every year,” said Beougher “People start running everyday day and say, ‘I’m going to try this.”

�e latest time to register is the day of the run, 7 a.m. till 8:30 a.m. in rooms 105 and 106 in the

Bernhard Center. Check it out, give it a try, and for more infor-mation on the race, other reg-istration times, and the cost to run visit www.wmich.edu/race/registration.

Campus Classic runs during homecoming

�e Western Michigan Uni-versity football team will kick-o� the meat of its Mid-American Conference schedule this Satur-day at Waldo Stadium in Kala-mazoo for WMU’s 88th annual Homecoming game.

�e Broncos (3-2, 1-0 MAC) will host the Bowling Green Uni-versity Falcons (3-2, 1-0 MAC) in a battle of �rst place teams of the MAC East/West Divisions.

WMU is coming o� of the school’s biggest win since the Il-linois game in 2008. �e Brown and Gold went into UCONN last Saturday and defeated the Hus-kies, 38-31, to assure an above .500 record heading into MAC play.

“It was a huge win,” said WMU

head coach Bill Cubit. “We made it a little more exciting than we probably should have with a couple dropped interceptions, but I just liked the resiliency of the kids and I thought they did a great job.”

Last season UCONN won the Big East and was selected to play in the Fiesta Bowl which is a Bowl Championship Series game. UCONN was ranked as high as No. 8 in the nation last season, and wins like this against big name schools give a boost to coach Cubit’s recruiting in up-coming years.

“�ey had 16 starters back from the Fiesta Bowl,” Cubit said. “It’ll be interesting to see how the �nish out. I think that was the �rst time they’ve tried to open it up, because I don’t think that they thought that they could

stick with us.”WMU quarterback Alex

Carder was named MAC O�en-sive Player of the Week, a�er his school-record 479 yards through the air and �ve touchdowns last week at Illinois. Carder’s award marked the third straight week that a WMU player was named to that honor this season (Jordan White previous two weeks).

Last week, three di�erent WMU receivers eclipsed the 100-yard plateau for only the third time in school history [J. White -173, R. Arnheim -113, C. Ravenell -123]. All are seniors, but Ravenell is an unfamiliar name to most Broncos fans and is now making his presence felt in a big way a�er surpassing An-sel Ponder on the depth chart.

“When it’s man coverage we do kind of light up our eyes a

little bit,” said 5th-year senior Chleb Ravenell. “It’s basically a guaranteed touchdown if you break one tackle. It feels great to be back and just help my team and get us to a MAC Champion-ship.”

WMU has faced two ranked Big Ten Schools and one Big East school thus far into the season. A record of 3-2 is respectable in that span and those successes against larger conference athletes could help propel the Broncos down the stretch. WMU will only face MAC opponents for the rest of the 2011 season.

“We we’re wearing down a little bit with physical games against [Michigan] and [Illi-nois], [UCONN],” Ravenell said. “Coach kinda slowed it down in practice and made it more men-tal.

MAC East leading BGSU in-vades Waldo Stadium this Satur-day at 2pm.

WMU beat BGSU, 41-7, last season on the road and coach Cubit is 2-0 against them in his tenure as Bronco head coach.

Cubit is 4-2 in homecoming games at WMU, and BGSU is the seventh di�erent opponent he’s faced in as many years at head coach.

“�is week we’ve got Bowling Green who’s a good football team right now,” Cubit said. “�ey have an outstanding quarterback and a couple of good wideouts, and defensively a totally di�erent team than we �nished up against last year.”

A�er months of planning and scheduling, Homecoming week has arrived and every-one involved has been working non-stop to make this year’s homecoming bigger and bet-ter than before. �e coordina-tors for Homecoming 2011 are Danielle Werle and Brian Donahue; the supervisors are Lynnae Stankus and graduate assistant Sarah Hurd.

“We have a weekly meet-ing at the beginning of the week during which we assess what needs to be accomplished that week,” Werle said. “Some weeks are heavier on things like obtaining sponsorships, others include reviewing our competition rules and packet revisions, and others are ad-vertising heavy.”

For Homecoming 2011 there is an event for every day of the week. Monday is Qdoba kicko�, Tuesday is the “Yell like Hell,” improvisational skit, Wednesday is WSA Western Wednesday, �ursday is CAB presents: Comedienne Tracey Ashley and Friday consists of the RHA Western Games, the Soapbox Derby and the “Paint the Town Brown” Pep Rally on Friday Night. Saturday con-sists of �e Corral Pep Fest, �e Flag Run and the football game against Bowling Green State University to conclude the week.

“How could a week dedi-cated to WMU pride be dull?” Werle said.

�is year the coordinator and supervisors also attend-ed numerous meetings with Alumnus Relations, as well as other organizations in down-town Kalamazoo in prepara-tion for the Pep Rally Friday Evening.

Art Hop, an event that is free and open to the public, will be taking place in downtown Kala-mazoo this Friday, Oct. 7, 2011 from 5 p.m. to 8 or 9 p.m. de-pending on business hours.

�e Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo puts on Art Hop four times a year in March, June, Oc-tober, and December. Art Hop is usually held on the �rst Friday of each month. Adrienne Marks, the artistic coordinator for the Arts Council of Greater Kalama-zoo, said that October’s Art Hop

is the second largest event; the largest event takes place in June.

Marks elaborated on how Art Hop collaborates with Down-town Kalamazoo Ink. “Tradi-tional sites are combined with retailers downtown to display lots of artwork, essentially we take over downtown with art,” Marks said.

�ere will be 56 sites partici-pating in Friday’s Art Hop, all of which will be located in the downtown area. Marks said that

a brochure of the event and a map of all the sites can be down-loaded online by visiting the following webpage: http://www.kazooart.org/calendar/pdf/ArtHop_Oct11_web.pdf.

“Plenty of art varieties will be on display at this month’s Art Hop,” Marks said. “From photog-raphy and paintings to jewelry, textiles, and even pop-up books on display at the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center, everyone who comes out to this event is sure to �nd something of interest.”

Marks said that Kalamazoo is well suited for art and thus de�ned as an arts community.

“Phenomenal and outstanding artists are put on display through Art Hop, further showing the thriving industry that we have locally. Art Hop also gets people downtown, which is a big business boost for the downtown businesses,” Marks said.

A variety of local businesses and sur-rounding organiza-tions will welcome the people of the community by host-ing this year’s Art Hop. �ese valued commodities will share with visitors the works of local artists as they oper-ate business.Je� Abshear, the di-

rector of the Kalamazoo Book Arts Center, said that a guest artist from Chicago will have letterpress broadsides and pop-up books on display during Art Hop. “Shawn Sheehy has a na-tional representation as a pop-up book artist and having him here for Art Hop gives us the chance to bring in more interesting peo-ple and provide people with per-spectives that we don’t necessar-ily have locally,” Abshear said.

Abshear also mentioned that

Sheehy will be lecturing at Wal-do Library in the Special Collec-tions Edwin and Mary Meader Room, �ursday, Oct. 6 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Abshear said this event will further allow the peo-ple, speci�cally the students of Kalamazoo, to gain a perspective on the di�erent varieties of art.

�e Kalamazoo Valley Mu-seum will feature the Country band Bill Bynum & Co. who will perform from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the �rst �oor lobby.

Jen Austin, special events coordinator for the Kalamazoo Valley Museum said that Bill Bynum & Co. was awarded the opportunity to perform because they were the winners of this year’s Fretboard Festival. “Bill Bynum & Co. is a local band, so we’re supporting the locality of Art Hop through keeping it Michigan based with this great band.”

Austin said that those who are interested in the Fretboard Festival contest that the muse-um holds each year will be able to �nd out more at the museum during Art Hop on Friday.

Newman’s Bookshoppe and People’s Co-op of Kalamazoo are two local downtown Kalamazoo businesses that will also have art on display.

Sue Jeska, the communica-tions director for Newman’s Bookshoppe said that the store

will have watercolors by local artist Karen Garavali on display. “�ere will be about 6 to 8 pieces on display throughout the store during Art Hop, and we will be open from 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. for this event.”

People’s Food Co-op of Ka-lamazoo will also be celebrating the works of local artists, because local work has been rendered as a part of their new store.

Four pieces will be on dis-play by local artists Lesley Serri, Ladislav Hanka, Gerren Young, and the Open Roads Bike pro-gram. “�ere’s a piece that is a set of bike racks made out of

reused bike frames, as well as a 2-dimensional wood carving, a bathroom door set, and a sculp-ture of the Great Lakes which is located on the outside south-west corner of the building,” said Charles Dilley, general manager.

Marks reiterated that the Art Hop is bene�cial to the busi-nesses of downtown Kalamazoo. “It’s a great chance to get out and downtown to see all the local art and the downtown businesses and to see what goes on down-town. Art Hop is a great chance for the community to see what Kalamazoo has to o�er all in one night, and it’s free.”

�e �rst Corral Entertain-ment Village, held on Sept. 17, was a huge success. Consisting of games, entertainment, and fun for the whole family will happen all over again.

�e Corral o�ered events such as free performances by Western Michigan’s best. Free samples of food from Kalama-zoo’s �ve-star restaurants and the Meijer virtual playground for the kids is doing it all over again, on Oct. 8, 2011 during Western Michigan University homecoming football game against Bowling Green.

“�e entertainment was great, the food was delicious, and the games and attractions proved to be a hit for all ages,” said Catherine VanDerMaas, the coordinator of the Corral.

“We realized that this brand new tradition is one that has the potential to really catch on and become an event that people look forward to when they think about going to a Bronco football game,” said VanDerMaas.

�e Corral will be coming back on Oct. 8 with some new events to go and see. �e de-partment of music and theatre will be putting on a special per-formance of “�e Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Also, the ROTC

program at WMU will be bring-ing in a rock wall for anybody daring enough to test their climbing abilities. In addition, the Bronco Homecoming Court will be honored at the Corral.

“We decided to extend the Homecoming Corral to 1:45 p.m. instead of 1:15 p.m.,” said VanDerMaas. “We are expect-ing a much larger event consid-ering the time of day and the fact that a lot more alumni will be in town and plan to attend.”

�e event will be held on the WMU baseball �eld

“At the end of the day, I’m happy to see my fellow Broncos gather and have a good time to-gether.” said VanDerMaas.

Haunting the D. Terry Williams �eatre for a two-week run, Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” opens the Uni-versity �eatre Simply Classic Series, �ursday, Oct. 6.

Blithe Spirit is a production centered around novelist Charles Condomine who gets more than he bargained for a�er arranging a séance to gather mate-rial for his new book.

Director James Daniels is excited to show the audience the amount of laughter and fun this show produces.

“[Coward] is a brilliant writer with incredible language and a sense of hu-mor that is absolutely fantastic,” Daniels said. “It is the type of thing you hope that would never happen to you, and it happens to this guy which turns into an entertaining hilarious adventure for the audience.”

Unfortunately for Charles Con-domine, the spirit of his �rst wife, ac-cidently summoned by the eccentric Madam Arcati, is determined to sabo-tage his current marriage, resulting in a comedic and chaotic mess.

WMU senior Nora Ulrey plays Ruth Condomine, a very organized and put together character, and thinks this show is de�nitely one to see.

“�is show is a funny, classic, faced paced comedy that we do not have right now in society and it is a show that keeps up with our attention span, especially those of students who have a thousand things on their mind,” Ulrey said. “You’re in for a surprise…a hilari-ous, improbable farce that you de�nite-ly need to see”

Seating for “Blithe Spirit” is general admission. Tickets are $20, $15 for se-nior citizens and WMU employees, $5 for WMU students and $10 for all other students and are available by calling (269) 387-6222, online at wmutheatre.com, or by visiting the Gilmore �eatre Complex or Miller Auditorium ticket o�ces.
