College Democrats, Republicans disagree on who won debateBy Rachel Harrison

President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney were not the only ones having a debate Wednesday night.
Central Michigan University’s College Republicans and College Democrats, in an event sponsored by the Student Government As-sociation, hosted a debate viewing party in Kulhavi Hall. About 30
students came out to the party.Both sides were eager to defend
their candidate.“From both parties, I think we
saw a very strong debate,” College Republicans Chairwoman Megan Gill said. “Romney did win by being focused on specifi c issues during the debates, while Obama distorted his plan.”
College Democrats President Alex Middlewood rebutted the conventional wisdom that Romney won the debate.
“I would have to disagree that
Obama lost the debate,” said Middlewood, an Otisville junior. “I think with President Obama show-ing his cool and not ranting shows that he is the better candidate and can keep a cool head.”
Following the debate, members of the audience, many of whom appeared to be Democratic-leaning judging by the frequent loud cheers for Obama, asked questions of Middlewood and Gill.

Online classes becoming bigger option
By Annie HarrisonSenior Reporter
Editor’s note: This is the fi fth story in a series about the future of higher education.
Central Michigan University’s Global Campus experienced increases in enrollment this year as demands for undergraduate courses increased among both traditional and non-tradi-tional students.
Global Campus, or o� -campus enrollment at CMU, has increased 1.4 percent from last year. A total of 7,189 students are enrolled in Global Cam-pus, up from 7,091 students in fall 2011.
Undergraduate Global Campus enrollment is up from 2,341 students in fall 2011 to 2,646 students in fall 2012, a 13-percent increase and the highest undergraduate enrollment in Global Campus to date. However, graduate enrollment in Global Campus is down 4.4 percent from 4,750 students in fall 2011 to 4,532 students in fall 2012.
Merodie Hancock, vice president of Global Campus, said traditional and non-traditional students approach Global Campus with di� erent interests and goals. Traditional students want more general education classes to add into their schedules, she said. Global Campus benefi ts students who are having trouble building their schedule because of work, sports and other time commitments.
“Online helps those students,” she said.
250 tons of salt ready for winter season
By Tony WittkowskiStaff Reporter
About 250 tons of salt remains in storage at Central Michigan Univer-sity for the upcoming winter season.
Steve Lawrence, vice president of facilities management, said last winter left the university with an abundance of salt.
“We are not going to order as many of the pounds as we were contracted for,” Lawrence said. “You don’t have to buy the total amount of salt, just the minimum.”
The city of Mount Pleasant and CMU spent considerably less money on salt last year due to an unusually warm winter season.
In 2010, the city of Mount Pleas-ant spent $43,510 on 750 tons of salt. In 2011, the city spent $26,360 on 450 tons. CMU ordered 750 tons of salt at $58.57 per ton for the 2011-12 winter season and only used 525 tons, costing $30,749.25. For the 2012-13 winter season, the univer-sity has ordered 500 tons of salt at $58.27 per pound, for a total cost of $29,135.
Salt is generally ordered in the spring each year, and the university orders it with other colleges as well as the state. By going in on salt to-gether, it saves the university money.

Central Michigan University’s Col-lege of Medicine unveiled preliminary designs for the Saginaw campus at an event on Thursday at the Saginaw County Chamber of Commerce.
Cost estimates for the project have not yet been determined but will be re-leased after designs are fi nalized later this month. Funding for the sites will come from CMU, fundraising through
the College of Medi-cine, Saginaw-area health care partners and CMU Medical Education partners. Exact amounts from each will be set after costs are fi nalized.
“Costs have not yet been released, because they have not yet been fi nal-ized, and the college does not wish to announce an incorrect estimate,”
CMED founding dean Ernest Yoder said. “Next week’s schematic plans should provide a realistic estimate for the project.”
The campus, which will consist of two buildings located at St. Mary’s of Michigan-Saginaw and Covenant HealthCare hospitals, will be used for educational and clinical space for CMED students and sta� already at each site.
“Each site will accommodate medi-cal students and resident physicians,”
Yoder said.He said while the sites will be
primarily utilized by CMU’s medical students, students from other schools will have the option to take electives there as well.
The new buildings and existing renovated space at each site will pro-vide 120,000 to 130,000 square feet of space for the school.
The site at St. Mary’s of Michigan-Saginaw will be used primarily for in-ternal medicine. The site at Covenant
Hospital will be used for emergency medicine, obstetrics-gynecology, gen-eral surgery, psychiatry and pediatrics.
Yoder said the facilities and existing space being renovated will also o� er realistic medical care to the commu-nity, as each site for the school will be part of a working hospital.
“As a guideline from our accrediting agencies, it’s a requirement for a medi-cal school to provide that care,” he said.

came to Mount Pleasant to help build workers’ barracks and other construc-tion on the oil fi elds around town. He worked with Marie’s father there.
As the oil industry stabilized, fl at-tened and then left town, Bill built Mount Pleasant as a construction worker.
When he fi rst arrived in town, he lived temporarily in the Bennett Hotel and then eventually lived with his brother-in-law next door to the house he later bought on Adams Street, the only two houses standing among new lots that were listed at $5. At the time, there were no trees and only Main Street was paved.
Bill’s son Don remembers the land was very open and devoid of trees.
“I remember coming here as a kid, and you could see the train pass all the way across to Broadway (Street),” Don said.
He doesn’t know how many buildings he worked on. Among the number of churches, homes, stores and Central Michigan University buildings, Bill lost count.
“Oh, geez,” Bill said. “Quite a few.”

Graduate enrollment used to be greater, because CMU historically focused on graduate courses for Global Campus. However, signifi cant under-graduate options have been added in the last fi ve or six years, Hancock said.
Benjamin Jankens, assistant professor of educational leader-ship, said in an email more universities are o� ering online programs at the graduate level, so CMU now has more com-petition than ever. However, he said he expects to see an in-crease in enrollment at both the undergraduate and graduate level as Global Campus transi-tions from face-to-face courses to more online courses.
Another reason graduate en-rollment in Global Campus has decreased in recent years is that employers are not as readily paying for employees to pursue graduate programs, said Dana McCann, business information systems fi xed-term faculty. Because Global Campus has expanded the number of un-dergraduate programs, she said, some students are choosing to go for another undergraduate degree instead of a graduate degree.
Students on campus prefer to be in class, but they take online classes to make their schedules more fl exible and cut time to graduation, Hancock said. She said she is seeing more tradi-tional students take one or two classes online per year, usually over the summer.
Hancock said online students look for classes that are appli-cable to the work force. She said classes in technology, business, leadership and psychology have the biggest demands.
BLENDED LEARNINGMcCann teaches courses at
the undergraduate and gradu-ate level, both on-campus and through Global Campus. She said Global Campus allows students to eliminate confl icts from their class schedules.
“Many of those courses weren’t previously o� ered in an online format, and it’s allow-ing students to take additional courses,” she said. “They don’t have to choose one over the other.”
Jankens said online educa-tion and blended learning have become major considerations for students when deciding which program to enroll in. He said undergraduate enroll-ment in Global Campus has increased, because students are looking for convenient course options.
“Over the past decade, the learning culture has shifted from students going to the university to the university now going to the student,” he said.
Mount Pleasant senior Kevin Vaillancourt said he began taking classes through Global Campus last fall toward a de-gree in psychology. Vaillancourt works as a corrections o� cer but said he is looking into grad-uate programs in psychology to pursue a new career working
with returning veterans.“I’m not really happy with
my current job and need a degree to improve my current situation,” he said.
Vaillancourt said Global Campus has allowed him to be fl exible with his academic schedule so he can continue to work while taking online classes.
“I can do the homework when I have the time,” he said. “I’m not restricted on when I have to do things.”
McCann said professors share similar benefi ts as their students in having the fl exibil-ity to administer and facilitate a class at times that fi t their schedules.
McCann said some of the classes she teaches through Global Campus she also teaches in an on-campus setting, and the structure allows her to orga-nize her class on Blackboard in preparation for both formats.
“The more structure you have, the easier it is for (the) instructor as well,” she said.
Jankens said fl exibility is the main advantage to teaching through Global Campus, not only for the class choice but also the format and approach to teaching. He said he has taught face-to-face, online and hybrid courses for Global Campus. He said Global Campus o� ers a lot of support for instructors.
“I’ve had great experiences with satellite locations, profes-sional development and work-ing with my courses through Blackboard and Wimba,” he said. “They are very knowledge-able, helpful and provide a high level of support to instructors.”
Global Campus has di� erent policies and procedures than what some instructors might fi nd in their departments, but, overall, this has not been a problem for him, Jankens said. The more Global Campus and academic departments work together to collaborate and build programs, the more CMU will be able to maintain a high quality of education, he said.
“The content of what we teach is still pretty much the same as it was 10 years ago, but the students and the way in which they learn has changed dramatically,” he said. “We need to continue to meet these new demands and o� er courses and programs that meet our students’ expectations without sacrifi cing quality or outcomes.”
McCann said she has noticed more students are taking a mix of on-campus and online classes even when they live in the Mount Pleasant area. She said she has had some of her online students visit her o� ce hours on campus to seek clarifi cation on activities.
McCann said she enjoys teaching a variety of students, traditional and non-traditional, local and international.
“It’s nice to have that mix of students not only from a demo-graphic standpoint, but it also gives you a tremendous mix of background as well,” she said.
McCann said students ap-preciate that online classes are condensed into eight weeks, because they are able to com-plete the course in less time and take another class in the second
half of a semester. However, one disadvantage to a shorter class is that students don’t always have enough time to improve their grades if they need to, she said.
“Sometimes, I just run into students who wait too long to ask me a question or let me know they’re struggling,” she said.
Some online classes can be challenging for students, because they don’t have face-to-face interaction with the faculty, McCann said, but new technol-ogy is allowing faculty to be more interactive through video presentations and demonstra-tions. She said these improve-ments allow her to teach her online classes the same way she teaches her on-campus classes.
“As our technology advances, we’re getting to where I can show more and where that gap is narrowing,” she said.
Despite not always being able to interact with students in per-son, McCann said one advan-tage to Global Campus is that some students are more willing to engage in class participation.
“Sometimes, students are a little more open in an online environment to discussion,” she said. “Sometimes, they’re a little more free with their opinions.”
McCann said she expects more classes to be o� ered through Global Campus in the future, especially more profes-sional development courses. She said there is also a tremen-dous opportunity for Global Campus to o� er workshops and training programs to students.
Hancock said Global Campus is an ongoing experience, and CMU will continue to strengthen programs and add new programs. As students desire to have more options to learn, Global Campus will play a bigger role at the undergradu-ate level, she said.
“Non-traditional and innova-tive methods in teaching and learning are going to play a big-ger role at the national level and locally at CMU,” she said.

Bill helped construct the Anna M. Barnard Residence Hall that opened in 1948 and housed 400 students. It was demolished in 1997.
It’s safe to say Bill has led a quiet life in Mount Pleasant, but it has never been dull. For a man who’s met Mari-lyn Monroe twice and has a picture of Patsy Cline on his lap, age hasn’t confi ned him to his home. Former Presi-dent George W. Bush wished Bill a happy birthday a few years ago.
He still has a valid driver’s license, which will expire in 2016, when Bill will be 109.
For 35 years, Bill and Marie spent the winters in Florida. Last winter, at the age of 104, Bill drove all the way there. Family convinced them to stay this winter, but Don is worried that their health might diminish as the cold lowers their immune systems. Nonetheless, their house is kept at 80 degrees.
He’s still very physically active. He still rides a bike. As a kid, he worked for Western Union as a telegram delivery-man and rode his bike for miles delivering messages.
Besides Bill’s skill as a construction worker, he’s also still a handyman. If the weather is warm, he works on small projects in his shop. He has to keep busy — he’s been retired for more than half a century.
Over the years, he’s made everything from co� ee tables to tractors and trucks for both
himself and friends. He took apart a Renault car in the 1960s and built a small tractor with which to plow snow in front of the garage. It has 25,065 miles and still starts on the fi rst try.
Bill used to take Don to the junk yard to dump parts, but since Bill was such a handy-man and never liked to waste, they also took what they needed.
“We spent a lot of time at the dump, right, Dad?” Don said, looking at Bill.
Bill, shielding his eyes from the sun with his blue hat, nodded.
“We came back with more than we took over,” he said.
Don continues the crafts-manship that defi ned Bill’s life and determined his legacy in Mount Pleasant.
Don built a home designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright for David Elgin Dodge, the grandson of Horace Elgin Dodge, who co-founded what is today known as Dodge vehicles.
Bill raised 500 chickens at a time behind their home. They sold the chickens, and eggs were sold to Krogers.
Bill has fi ve generations of grandchildren who have his ingenuity and improvisational skills.
“I’ve worked with my dad,” Don said as he watched his father. “I’ve learned a lot.”

Most Americans fall into certain voting blocs that poli-ticians and campaigns play to, and many do not even know it.
That was the focus of a Speak Up, Speak Out event Wednesday night, facilitated by associate history professor Kathy Donohue, that focused on voting blocs and discussed which group of voters will hold the most power in this presidential election.
Voting blocs are people who are grouped by candi-dates, campaigns and politi-
cal scientists based on their characteristics and economic statuses. The candidates then campaign to each voting bloc and attempt to persuade them to vote in their favor.
The event’s panel featured Saginaw sophomore and political science major Marie Reimers, history gradu-ate student Jake Szetela, Comstock Park sophomore and political science major Taylor Gehrcke and political science department chair-man Orlando Perez.
“(There is) an intense amount of pressure put on voters to abandon principal in favor of basically being a team player,” Szetela said.
The focus on voting blocs is so crucial to campaigns that certain growing demo-graphics and groups, such as Latino or gay voters, can make or break the election for either candidate.
“(Republican presiden-tial nominee) Mitt Romney needs 35 to 40 percent of Latino voters to be com-petitive in key battleground states. There are 23 million Latinos in America that will be eligible to vote this year. You can’t be something with nothing,” Perez said.
Many on the panel and in the audience said candidates set their sights on low-infor-mation voters or those not
properly educated on the is-sues or will instead focus on more widely known issues.
“National campaigns are about national issues. (Candidates) focus on the big picture, because that’s what the undecideds are thinking about,” Wayne senior David Kautz said.
The panel also focused on controversial voter identi-fi cation laws being passed in some states around the country that are designed to crack down on fraud but critics fear may infringe on voting rights.
Miss MichiganCMU alum Jaclyn Schultz crowned, to compete for Miss USA
Central Michigan University alum Jaclyn Schultz looked out into the crowd with confi dence as soon as her heels hit the stage, she said.
More than 70 women from Michigan competed at the two-day contest for the title of Miss Michigan USA, which ended Saturday with Schulz being crowned at the McMorran Theater in Port Huron.
As soon as the diamond-studded crown was placed on her head, Schultz said she was speechless.
“I was overfl owed with emotions,” she said. “I couldn’t believe it.”
Looking for a challenge, Schultz said she took a leap of faith and decided to apply for the competition this past July.
“I just went in with a fun attitude and came out with a crown,” she said.
The women competed in three events — a private interview, a swimsuit and fi tness walk and an evening gown walk. The fi ve fi nalists answered a question in front of judges.
“What is the one thing that
sets Michigan apart from any other state?” Schultz was asked.
Schultz said with her CMU marketing background, she immediately thought about the Pure Michigan campaign. Her mom told her the crowd applauded, but Schultz couldn’t hear anything be-cause she was so nervous.
“I talked about how the Pure Michigan campaign shows how great our state is,” she said. “It boosts morale and the economy. It connects with the people.”
Her mom, Suzie Schultz, said she was at the edge of her seat cheering her on Saturday.

Program Board’s lecture chair Jon Milliman said he thinks Post Secret creator Frank Warren can provide interesting insight to Central Michigan University stu-dents Tuesday.
“Going through college, we have a lot of things that we keep hidden, that we don’t talk about,” the Bron-son senior said. “Frank War-ren gives college students an opportunity to let all that go.”
Warren will be speaking in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium at 7 p.m.
Post Secret, a website that asks completely anonymous individuals to decorate a post card and portray a secret by which they have never revealed before, was
created by Warren in 2005.The website has experi-
enced incredible popularity since and was previously ranked as one of the top 10 most popular websites in 2008 among female users.
The show will be part of Warren’s college lecture se-ries on the topic of the many secrets we keep as a society.
Milliman said the audi-ence members will get a card, with Warren’s address on it, where they would be able to send anonymous secrets of their own.
“Not only does Frank Warren have an interesting website, he is also a great motivational speaker,” Mil-liman said. “I think that his message is equally as chal-lenging as he is inspiring.”

What if you had an oppor-tunity to answer the question, “Where is my tuition going?”
About 50 students from the University of Michigan now have several di� erent an-swers to this question, thanks to a class o� ered by the Ann Arbor-based school.
According to an article in The Detroit Free Press, the course, UC 270, teaches students how the university budget is spent, focusing on the thousands of dollars worth of tuition paid annually by students.
Carrie Falls, an economics professor at Central Michigan University, said a class like that being taught at CMU would benefi t students but not the university.
“I defi nitely think (the class would be in) the best interest of students, because they have a right to know exactly where their tuition money is going,” Falls said. “If a student pursing a degree in account-ing discovers how much of their tuition is going toward the new medical school, they would most likely become furious.”
Falls said a program like this would place needed pressure on the university to become more responsible and transparent with fi nancial concerns like the annual budget.
“Student tuition money shouldn’t be going toward
something that isn’t going to benefi t their time spent here at CMU,” she said.
The class o� ered at U-M is worth one credit and lasts seven weeks. The cost of the course is the same credit hour rate for all undergraduate courses and counts toward many students’ academic programs.
According to the article, the course is taught by Pro-vost Phil Hanlon, the ranking academic o� cer at the school who is in charge of Michi-gan’s $1.6 billion budget.
According to the 2011-12 Undergraduate Bulletin, CMU currently does not o� er a class of that nature.
Adrian sophomore Jacob Adams said he would defi -nitely be interested in taking a class like this if CMU were to o� er one.
“It would be really in-teresting to fi nd out exactly where my money is going. I know I’m spending all this money, and then one day I wake up and see CMU spent more than $500,000 for a new website design,” Adams said. “Sometimes I’m curious how CMU gets the money for these projects, and if a new website is what I’m spending thousands in tuition for.”
Other students don’t see the benefi t in spending money to learn about the university budget.

The Miss Michigan USA pageant has no preliminaries. Contestants automatically represent the city they are from, she said. In addition to honoring the state of Michi-gan in the Miss USA pageant, Schultz has won travel, ward-robe and scholarships.
The winner of the Miss USA pageant ultimately goes on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe competition.
“I’m so excited to contin-ue,” she said.
To prepare for the big day, she altered her day-to-day schedule by exercising and eating healthy.
Despite all the attention, Schultz said she still feels like herself. She was greeted at work Monday with banners, cake and balloons from her co-workers.
“It’s weird to feel like Miss Michigan,” she said.
The 2010 graduate studied integrative public relations and advertising. She worked as an account executive for
the ad-vertising department for Central Michigan Life. She is currently pursuing a master’s in advertising at Michigan State University’s o� -campus program. A Wy-andotte native, she graduated from Roosevelt High School in 2006.
Her public relations back-ground and career experience working as a media buyer for Brogan and Partners in Bir-mingham made her a good fi t for the pageant, she said.
Schultz’s boss at Brogan and Partners, Ellyn Davidson, said she will serve as a role model to girls everywhere.
“I was incredibly ex-cited when I heard she was crowned,” she said. “She is so deserving of this title. She is smart, hard-working, moti-vated and determined.
“I have always heard people say, ‘go for your dreams,’ and I really believe that now. I think everything happens for a reason.”

been refl ected in B.o.B’s at-tendance levels but several other show Program Board has brought in this semester, as well.
About 400 students attend-ed Dominique Dawe’s Sept. 12 speech, while Iliza Shlesinger drew 470 students in Platcha Audtiorium, which holds a capacity of 1,200 people.
B.o.B, although having an
attendance of about 3,000, threatened to be even emp-tier, with Program Board discounting ticket prices by $5 before the event.
Saginaw senior Ryan Ball said he usually doesn’t care for the acts that Program Board brings in.
“I generally don’t have any interest in them,” Ball said. “I understand how other students might, and I guess I would have fun too if I was in
an intoxicated state.”Talia Flint, an Ohio sopho-
more, refl ected Ball’s attitude, although she did enjoy the concerts.
“I went to B.o.B, and I had a pretty good time,” Flint said. “None of the bands they are bringing in, though, are abso-lute favorites of mine.”
According to Program Board o� cials, what some students consider to be a lackluster selection of acts is
more about the limitations Program Board is under and not being out of touch with the student body.
Program Board Adviser Damon Brown said he rec-ognized student’s concerns about Program Board’s event selection but said the process of bringing an act to campus is more complicated than most people realize.
Program Board, Brown said, begins the process every
year by surveying students to see what acts they would be interested in.
“We generally ask students what genre they are interest-ed in,” Brown said. “We don’t go by specifi c artists. If we promise to bring in Jay-Z and the negotiations fail to come through, we don’t want to put ourselves in that position.”

President Barack Obama, known for his quick-witted, sharp oratorial skills, came to Denver riding a wave of momen-tum, from comfortable polling numbers to the PR nightmare that was Mitt Romney’s infa-mous “47 percent” comment. Meanwhile, Romney, struggling to find an identity and oppor-tunity to turn his campaign around, needed a home run of a night.
And boy did he come ready to play. From the start, Romney, using a slower pace of speech in an apparent effort to sound more serious, appeared more prepared and grounded than
the president. He engaged, of-fered quick rebuttals, and often times went over his two-minute allotment meekly enforced by moderator Jim Lehrer.
Obama, for the first time in recent memory, looked uncom-fortable on stage. And while Romney continued to hammer the president on the current state of the economy, using the unemployment and jobless fig-ures as ammo, Obama appeared stunned. The president, consid-ered by many to be thoughtful and engaging, was left stumbling over his words.
But it was Obama’s tepid response, or unwillingness to
challenge the former Massa-chusetts governor on some of his claims, that made the final result even worse for the presi-dent. Some of Romney’s claims, chief among them his pledge he would not raise taxes to add to the deficit, were later assessed as half-truths or inaccuracies. But rather than call Romney out on them, he stood by like the new kid at school waiting for his chance to get in the game.
Maybe a better way to put it is that Romney didn’t fully win the debate, but Obama certainly lost it.
It’s hard to tell where this election will go and, with about a month left, there will be twists and turns. But if Obama con-tinues to look as weak as he did during Wednesday’s debate, it could mean a lame duck period is awaiting Obama.
EDITORIAL | Role reversal at debate
Romney fiery, Obama lackluster
It’s safe to say Wednesday night’s presidential debate, the
fi rst of the 2012 general election campaign, wasn’t what
most were expecting.
[ILLUSTRATION]
For those who didn’t catch the disaster that was the presidential debate on Tuesday, let me catch you up on what was likely one of the worst debates of the last sever-al decades — or at least the worst since Nixon versus Kennedy.
Between the replacement moderator not having the balls to call out the candidates to shut the hell up when they ran over their allotted time, Obama’s almost freshman performance in the debate between fits of defensive-ness, and the dominant force that was Romney’s blatant talking out of his ass for the entirety of the performance, it could have been played as a Jersey Shore rerun and few people would have noticed or cared.
Yes, yes I know that last state-ment is a sweeping generaliza-tion, but it was an atrocity of a debate when fact checkers can run statistics on both candidates and the winner comes down to the one who can sling bullshit the furthest.
These days it seems like politics are becoming more and more the presentation of the candidates and less about the issues.
I don’t want to hear a candidate discussing their solution to prob-lems like green energy without being questioned on the ramifica-tions of their ideas. I don’t want to see a debate where candidates are spewing their idealized and demographic focused answers to the masses, I want to see an inter-rogation.
These people are going to be the leaders of the one of the most powerful nations in the free world, but we’re fine electing them to office based on false promises held together by dreams and ambitions that they’ll follow through.
But we’re content with calling them out on everything they’ve done wrong the moment they enter office, and sitting on our haunches waiting for them to either mess up big enough to get removed from office or repeat the exact same process four years later.
As for a solution, there really isn’t one. It’s a self perpetuat-ing cycle that can only be bro-ken when either the public gets wiser or the media takes a tougher stance.
Come the election, I’ll take the candidate that sticks closer to their platform at this point, at least then I can count on some chance of getting something I was promised.

I realized I am getting old when I became giddy buying a Brita water purifier.
“Oh, the clean water I am going to drink now.” Muhahaha. Next, I will buy the Keurig coffee maker I have been drooling over.
I realized I am getting old when I started calling my mom to talk about the serious things in life.
I no longer just call her to make my dentist appointments or see how long brownies bake for.
Don’t worry, I got this.I realized I am getting old
when I rushed home from Kaya after drinking coffee to watch the presidential debate.
Why would I watch two women fight on ‘The Real Housewives’ of everywhere when I can see two men fight over my future?
I realized I am getting old when I now console my friends through family deaths, tragic breakups and parental divorce.
We’re here for each other for the hard times more than the good times and act as support teams rather than like “OMG, BFF.”
I realized I am getting old when my parents come to visit me, and I yell at them for messing up my apartment.
My dad always warned me about the day he was going to come to my house and leave crumbs on the counter, then watch me freak out.
“Yeah, yeah, whatever, dad. I will never be weird like you.”
But damn, his peanut butter cracker crumbs made me mad.
When did I become this adult who dies of excitement over buy-ing reusable water bottles, tem-purpedic pillows and soy candles?
Where did the days go when I wanted to add the newest Ken doll to my family of Barbies or when my Christmas list consisted of “pool,” “puppy” and “trampo-line” every year?
When did I stop asking my mom about how long to cook noodles for or why my coffee tastes like dirt?
Sure, I have a long way to go before calling myself “old,” but these realizations show me that day after day, you never really notice big changes. But year after year, the amount of growing up one does in college is immeasur-able.
Last summer, I packed up my life and lived for three months at a place I only knew on Google maps.
Last week, I dropped and broke my phone and didn’t panic about it like I would have freshman year.
Last night, my mini fridge died in my bedroom. Naturally, I made it a new shoe closet.
And that’s when I realized, I’m still young.

[LETTER TO THE EDITOR]
Online Facebook comments on the Sept. 28 “Enrollment numbers decrease at 26 of 28 of Michigan’s community colleges” story
“A sign of economic recovery, kind of counter-intuitive; but, when people are more able to find jobs, they’re less likely to pursue more education.”
-Ronald Lee Klingler
“Sounds a bit right; this could also pull college tuition back in line with inflation, as it’s been outpacing it for quite some time.”
-Cody Herrmann
Online Facebook Comments on the Sept. 28 “Club hockey team dealt five-year ban for violating alcohol policy, hazing” story
“As another CMU alumni and a club hockey supporter, I am deeply disappointed by the decision made by the Office of Student Life. As a recent grad, I know the returning team mem-bers and can personally vouch for the team’s sincere intentions. They prove to be outstand-ing members of their commu-nity by hosting various events throughout the year that benefit
breast cancer awareness and assisting children with special needs, which seems to have gone unrecognized by the Office of Student Life.
If they are truly troubled by the party, they should have the University reevaluate the student athletes who have their sport and tuition paid for by the rest of the student body.
CMU Club Hockey is an at-traction for many incoming freshmen, even though CMU is one of the only large universi-ties in Michigan that does not offer a varsity hockey program. Therefore, by taking away the club team, the University will ultimately lose the interest (and the tuition) of many potential student athletes.
This is one of many recent decisions made by CMU that I strongly do not agree with and will ultimately decline to any inevitable donation request that I encounter.”
-Julia Bonk
“FYI, Lambda Chi got kicked off for something similar. Drink-ing isn’t bad by itself, but any hazing involving alcohol is dan-gerous. I applaud the university for their zero-tolerance regard-ing hazing.”
-Gare Sartore
“Nobody was forced to do any-thing they didn’t want to do. So I don’t see how it’s hazing when it was their choice to go along.”
-Corey MacIsaac
“Once again, Student Life takes the hardest penalty when they can use this as a way to teach college students more. Putting them on probation stops nothing. It’s like taking a fraternity off campus—now they can have keg parties since they don’t have to follow fraternity rules. Very disappointed as it has become a witch hunt. Soon tailgating will be kool-aid and cookies.”
-Darron Markwood
“Since all of a sudden it has become popular to relate this situation to Greek life, I think it is time we are all reminded that three fraternities in the last five years have been kicked off campus for violations similar to this. I genuinely hold no ill-will towards the Club Hockey team at CMU, but the precedent has been set by the university. If they win their appeal, all the power to them.”
-Stefan Jagot
[COMMENTS]
The handling of the hockey team’s suspension sounds like a Kangaroo Court to me.
Let me define this for you. “Kangaroo courts are sham legal proceedings that are set up in order to give the impression of a fair legal process. In fact, they
offer no impartial justice as the verdict is decided in advance.”
Please investigate the history of these young men and you will find them to be honest, caring and loyal people.
They have had several fund raisers for charity and to pay
their own expenses since the school does not do so. What is being swept under the rug here by the university?

Long lines have been seen at Panera since its opening July 16.
Now the business, 2111 S. Mission St., is adding more seating and electrical outlets to meet the demands of its cus-tomers, said Brian Campbell, marking director of Manna De-velopment Group/Bread of Life, a franchisee of Panera Bread.
The store originally started out with a smaller unit than normal due to occupying a pre-existing building, the former Fazoli’s, he said. But due to a
busy summer, more seating — approximately 28 seats to the existing 78 seats — is necessary. The expansion includes the current patio area.
The addition will also include electrical outlets, Campbell said.
“The atrium will be heated, so it should be comfortable most of the year,” Campbell said. “In the warmer months, customers would be able to open the windows to enjoy the breeze from outside. We are excited to continue to serve the community and have been very pleased with the reaction our new bakery café has received in the fi rst few months being
open.”Mount Pleasant City Planner
Je� Gray said the city approved the addition July 12.
As previously reported by Central Michigan Life, the building permit was approved for Fancher Development, Inc. by planning commission to add two parking spots and the patio. Signifi cant upgrades were also made to the inside of the former Fazoli’s.
“It is great to see that the Panera Bread is having success at the location, and I hope that will continue into the future,” Gray said.

Union Township is follow-ing suit of the City of Mount Pleasant regarding human rights.
The Township approved a proposed draft for the Char-ter Township of Union Hu-man Rights Ordinance with a vote of 6-1 on Sept. 26.
The ordinance will prohibit discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations and will provide penalties for violations.
The revised draft remains fairly consistent, with most changes found in section 170.02 Defi nitions. The changes to the defi nitions were made in order to remain consistent with Michigan civil rights statuses.
Township Supervisor John Barker said the county’s ordinances, for the majority of the issues, will correspond closely with those set by the state in order to prevent con-fusion or di� ering interpre-tations when enforcing the
ordinance.“We’ll go with what the
state says,” Barker said.The two major changes
proposed were the addition of height and weight and the removal of gender from the ordinance.
Barker said the addition of height and weight classes will be protected under Section 170.01 of the Ordinance, as they are under state law.
The other aspect modi-fi ed is the gender class. Barker said it will be deleted and placed within the sex ordinance, because the term sex is a description of certain types of discrimination based on being male or female.
“The terms ‘gender’ and ‘sex’ are interchangeable,” he said.
When Mount Pleasant ap-proved its human rights ordi-nance, the decision was met with resounding applause.
As previously reported by Central Michigan Life in July, under Mount Pleasant’s ordinance, traits includ-ing race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sex,
age, marital status, physical or mental disability, family status, sexual orientation and gender identity are covered to prevent discrimination in the employment, housing and public accommodation of individuals.
Gaining the most attention were sexual orientation and gender identity, which are not covered under state or national anti-discrimination laws.
The ordinance was subject to considerable deliberation, rewritten over a number of lengthy meetings since its initial proposal by a citizen group backed by the Unitar-ian Universalist Fellowship of Central Michigan last November.
“I want to thank everyone who came forward to speak,” Mount Pleasant city commis-sioner Sharon Tilmann said during a summer meeting. “It made our meetings very, very long, but I think it exempli-fi es democracy at its best.”

As is the case for most races around the country, the economy is at the center of state House race between Rep. Kevin Cotter, R-Mount Pleasant, and Democratic candidate Adam Lawrence.
That should come as no surprise considering Michigan’s unemployment rate, 9.4 percent, is well above the 8.1 percent national average, along with the fact that Isabella County was recently found to be the poorest county in the state.
Cotter was elected in 2010 on his platform of fi scal conserva-tism, and he said the results of his and other state Republicans’ policies are already being felt in the 99th District.
“People are starting to see the results of a more fi scally-responsible state government that is 100 percent focused on creating an environment in Michigan that keeps taxes low and creates good-paying jobs for our residents,” Cotter said.
The incumbent said he is most proud of the gains
Michigan has made over the past couple years economically, pointing to a recent Newsweek report naming Michigan the top state for job growth in the country.
“To me, getting these results are about the people I represent, not being Republican or Demo-crat,” Cotter said.
Lawrence, a 2012 graduate of Central Michigan Univer-sity who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, said Cotter’s push for “trickle-down economics” with other Republi-cans has led to Isabella County’s poorest county ranking.
“Then there’s my economic theory: Invest in the people, in-vest in your resources and work with small businesses to rebuild this economy from the bottom-up, not the other way around,” Lawrence said.
Lawrence conceded that despite his major endorsements from big names like the United Auto Workers, the Michigan Education Association and the AFL-CIO, he fi nds himself far behind Cotter in fundraising.
As of their most recent disclosure forms, Cotter has raised $113,128 compared to Lawrence’s $14,376. Such a gap in fundraising is a di� cult chal-lenge to overcome, especially for a political newcomer like Lawrence, but he is confi dent his ideas and connections with the Coleman School District will help him in Midland County.
“Last election, Cotter took about 70 percent in Midland County. I think he’ll be lucky to win it this time,” Lawrence said. “The response in the county has been great.”
Lawrence said securing Mid-land County would allow his campaign to focus on Isabella County.
“The opportunity for a Democratic win is all going to come down to sealing up Mount Pleasant,” he said.
Kevin Cotter, Adam Lawrence enter the final month of State House race
While Program Board does try to bring in several prominent artists, a constantly restrictive budget makes the process challenging. Program Board is allocated $300,000 every year by campus pro-gramming, which they use to fund every major campus event.
Brown said Program Board has grown more limited every year due to continued infl a-tion.
“Program Board’s budget has been $300,000 for the last 11 years. That’s crazy; noth-ing stays the same for eleven years,” Brown said. “Three-hundred-thousand does not cover nearly as much as it used to.”
Program Board’s static bud-get makes bringing top acts to campus a constant challenge.
Last year, Brown said,
Program Board was strongly considering bringing multi-platinum award-winning country artist Sugarland to Mount Pleasant. Yet the group, which they would have had a chance of bringing in 11 years ago, now cost $250,000, 83 percent of Program Board’s budget. The board had to go another route.
Even B.o.B, who at a $75,000 price tag was within program board’s budget, still proved to be a more expen-sive a� air than anticipated. Production costs, separate from the $75,000 to bring B.o.B in, ended up costing double what was originally anticipated. While Program Board originally estimated the production to be in the range of $20,000, the cost in the end was roughly $50,000.
“The lights and the sound were far more expansive than what we thought,” Brown said. “Yes, the increased cost will defi nitely a� ect what future programs we’ll bring in. We’re going to have to carefully look
at our future acts and see how we’re going to a� ord them.”
Ticket sales for Program Board commonly go toward covering production costs and rarely o� er enough fi nancial support to cover the artists. Therefore, Program Board loses money every show.
“We’re not in the business of making money,” Brown said.
Program Board president and New Baltimore junior Miranda Endres said the fi -nancial aspect is not nearly as important to Program Board as the experience students have.
“Everyone had a great time,” Endres said, referring to B.o.B’s performance. “It was a terrifi c atmosphere. That’s what Program Board cares about.”
Endres said student enter-tainment is not all Program Board has to worry about.
“Financial aspects a� ect ev-erything we do,” Endres said.

Milliman said Warren’s Post Secret project was used as the inspiration for The All-American Reject’s music video for “Dirty Little
Secrets,” who will be also be coming to campus on Oct. 14.
Oxford junior Chelsea Kes-sler said expectations from students have been high.
“I think we have had a really good level of student interest,” Kessler said. “Frank Warren has a large following among college students.”
Kessler said Program Board
has been running their own dirty secret campaign, asking students to send in secrets of their own to Program Board. Program Board will draw one secret before the show, and the winner will be able to meet with Warren after the show.

idea, but I probably wouldn’t take (the course) unless it was free,” Ypsilanti sophomore Julia Stier said. “However, it defi nitely would be nice to fi nd out where my money actually goes.”
Saugatuck senior Jenn Fisher said she wouldn’t be
interested in taking a course like this.
“Why would I spend my money to learn about how my money is being spent? It sounds counter-productive,” she said.
Fisher said she doesn’t
care exactly where all of her money is going at CMU.
“(My money is) going toward many di� erent things and di� erent people who I didn’t even know existed on this campus in order to keep things functioning,” she said. “In the end, no matter where my money goes, I’ll still be paying back the same amount of loans regardless.”

In order to vote in Michigan, voters must show some sort of personal identifi cation before fi lling out a ballot. This ID can be a driver’s license, a college ID or a passport among other forms of ID.
Reimers urged students to
know their rights as a voter.“It is illegal in the state of
Michigan to be denied a ballot,” Reimers said. “Every poll in Michigan has to have a copy of this law on the wall.”
Donohue said she is im-pressed with the student body’s knowledge of political topics.
“What I fi nd so impressive at these Speak Up, Speak Out panels is the level of politi-cal knowledge and savviness students have,” she said.
Reimers said students are making better e� orts to expand and share their political knowl-edge.
“The students responded really positively to the answers. I was excited. Most people pass o� students as apathetic or as a stereotype of ‘I don‘t care.’ I am glad that students were able to break that boundary tonight,” she said.

Students with a passion for fi lm making will get a chance to make a fi lm of their own thanks to the 48/5 fi lm competition, put on by the CMU chapter of the National Broadcasting Society.
The competition starts today at 1 p.m. and concludes Sunday at 1 p.m.
Groups will make a fi ve-minute fi lm in 48 hours, from fi rst idea to fi nal edit, according to competition host Lauren Culver.
The teams will have to incor-porate a verbal line, a prop, a certain theme, camera element (such as a certain shot type) and a location into their fi lm, the Clarkston junior said.
“I’m surprised by the group’s results,” she said. “I like to see people take ideas and run with it and make up things I never would have thought of to do.”
In the past competitions, groups have done silent fi lms, horror and even mockumen-taries.
“One year, there was a Shake-speare theme,” she said.
After the competition, fi lms are sent by Culver to people in the broadcasting and fi lm industries for judging and critiquing.
All of the fi lms have to be at most a PG-13 rating. Some of the winning fi lms are also shown on MHTV.
Declining to name the judges, she did say groups getting feed-back on their fi lms is important.
“It intrigues them more, because they’re getting profes-sional input rather than stu-dents judging it,” she said.
Je� Smith, faculty adviser for the NBS, said students are exerting a lot of creativity in a short amount of time during the two days completing their fi lms.
“It’s a whirlwind of creativ-ity,” he said.
He said people involved in making the fi lms during the competition learn a lot of skills, such as problem solving.
“There’s always problems, and overcoming those problems is part of the process,” he said. “It gives you experience deal-ing with real-time production issues.”
Grosse Pointe senior Angela Simon has gone through the
competition twice before and this competition will be her third time.
Competing previously, she and her group made a moc-kumentary poking fun at the behind-the-scenes stereotypes of a major fi lm set.
Her group won many awards including People’s Choice, which is voted on by attendees of the screenings, along with Best Film and Best Editing.
She said the real-world experience and learning about camera work and basic editing skills is better than just learning about fi lm in a classroom or from a book.
“In our classes, you learn many technical things, but in these competitions, you use these skills in real time,” she said. “In these competitions, you apply these things but with people.”
She said groups know the pressure of the deadline and how it will a� ect their fi lms.
“That deadline is coming whether you like it or not,” she said.

The Isabella County United Way Fund Drive has surpassed $100,000 just 29 days after its launch.
As of Friday, 382 members of the Isabella County com-munity have donated a total of $106,228. Donations made by Central Michigan Univer-sity’s faculty account for over half of that total.
The United Way Fund Drive is a fundraising event that raises money that is distributed to charitable programs all over Isabella County. Fundraising began well before the o� cial start date of Aug. 31. By the end of the fi rst day, 20 percent of the fundraising goal was met.
Donations have declined in recent years due to the economy and a lack of under-standing of the event and its purpose. Committee mem-bers of the fund drive were questioning if the message of
need was getting across or if the decline of donations and pledges was just because of a weak economy.
“Our real struggle is (fi gur-ing out how) we educate the CMU community that there is a real need in Isabella County for assistance,” said Mary Lou Morey, CMU employee pledge drive coordinator.
Morey is also head of the distribution committee that decides how much each agency in the county receives from the funds.
“As the largest contributor in Isabella County, CMU em-ployees have a great impact,” Morey said. “And when dona-tions are down, the whole community feels the loss.”
With just a few weeks left, CMU has raised $55,000 of
its $80,000 goal.The overall goal for Isa-
bella County is $410,000, and the United Way committee is optimistic about reaching it by the Dec. 31 deadline.
Fundraising e� orts at CMU will be put on hold for half of October and all of November so as to not clash with the other groups and business that are just beginning to contribute to the drive.
Dance United, a student organized event specifi cally meant to aid in the fund drive will be held in November, and all money raised during it will count toward CMU’s overall total contribution to the county.

“As the largest contributor in Isabella County, CMU employees have a great impact.”
Mary Lou Morey, CMU pledge drive coordinatorGill said the time restrictions prevented Romney from laying out his plans, especially on how he would tackle health care reform.
“I think what we saw from Romney was that we are in a debate with time constrictions, he (wasn’t) really allowed to lay out his plans,” Gill said.
Middlewood urged vot-ers to check both candidates’ websites for their stances on specifi c issues.
“If you want a better chance to understand where both can-didates are coming from, you can always go to their respec-tive websites to learn about specifi c issues,” she said.
Middlewood said Obama came across as more presiden-tial during the debate.
“President Obama was more calm, cool and collected,” she said. “I am going to be biased, and I say President Obama presented better during the debate.”
Gill said both candidates did well, but neither did enough to swing many voters in one
direction or another.“I think the debate was a
very solid showing by both can-didates,” she said. “However, I don’t think necessarily that there was a big wow moment for both candidates.”
Obama and Romney spent much of the beginning of the debate going after each other on their respective tax plans. The president took aim at Rom-ney’s plan, saying it is a failed economic theory that dispro-portionately helps the rich.
“Under Gov. Romney’s defi nition, there are a whole bunch of millionaires and billionaires who are small business,” Obama said. “Donald Trump is small business and I know Donald Trump doesn’t like to think of himself as small anything.”
Romney countered by saying Obama favors “trickle-down government” in the form of higher taxes and more regula-tion.
“You raise taxes, and you kill jobs,” Romney said. “I don’t want to kill jobs in this environ-ment.”
Obama took issue with Romney’s plan for economic growth – lower taxes and de-creased regulation – by saying those ideas led to the economic
meltdown in the fi rst place.“Math, common sense and
our history shows us that’s not a recipe for job growth,” Obama said.
Romney denied ever propos-ing tax cuts for the top income bracket.
“Virtually everything he just said about my tax cut is inac-curate,” Romney said, looking directly at the president, who appeared bemused.
Romney again vowed to “repeal and replace” the 2010 A� ordable Care Act, taking issue with the cuts to Medi-care providers the law put into place.
“The idea of cutting $716 bil-lion from Medicare to be able to balance the additional cost of Obamacare is, in my opinion, a mistake,” Romney said.
Obama said his signature domestic achievement has already done plenty of good for the uninsured, young people and senior citizens.
“We’ve seen this model work really well — in Massachusetts,” Obama said, referring to the health care reform legislation Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts.

DEBATE |
Being part of this purchas-ing deal requires the university to purchase a certain amount of salt for delivery, Lawrence said. Delivery occurs in the fall, however, if requested, it can be delivered earlier.
“We didn’t ask for early delivery this year, because we have to use up the salt from last year fi rst,” Lawrence said.
Another dilemma that arises is that the university cannot re-turn the excess salt, because it is a heavy material to deliver. It would cost more to return the salt for a refund than it would to store it for the next winter.
The salt is kept on campus in a salt shed, which is a three-sided building located in Lot 1. There is currently 250 tons of salt remaining from the end of last winter, Lawrence said.
“We’re pretty full right now,” Lawrence said.
Depending on the sever-ity of the winter months, the Street Department purchases between 680 and 750 tons of salt per year.
Each year, the State of Michigan extends its bulk rock salt contract to universities and nonprofi t hospitals through the State of Michigan’s Department of Technology, Management and Budget’s MiDeal Coopera-tive Purchasing Program, said Michelle Smith, an analyst for the state’s Department of Public Works.
“This program provides local governments, colleges and uni-versities, schools and nonprofi t hospitals access to the amount of salt needed for the upcoming winter season and the chance to purchase it at a price much less than they could on their own,” Smith said.
It also guarantees the quan-tity of salt ordered and its avail-ability of the product during
high-demand periods.“Because of the extremely
light 2011-12 winter season, the street department used very little of their road salt,” Smith said.
This turned out to be the norm in many communities, and, as a result, an excess of salt was available at the 2011-12 price.
“Due to an inevitable price increase of road salt for the 2012-13 winter season, the street department purchased approximately 155 additional tons of salt at that time for $58.57 per ton,” Smith said.
This allowed for a complete fi ll-up of the salt storage barn and addressed the need for salt for the 2012-13 winter season, Smith said.
Over the last four years, the city has spent a total amount of $137,115 for 2,755 tons of salt. This averages to $49.77 per ton for the past four years.

Volleyball travels to Ball State, toledo for mAc tests
margo Jonker earns four-year extension as softball coach
By Kristopher LodesStaff Reporter
The volleyball team will face its fi rst true Mid-American Conference road test at 7 p.m. Friday when it when it travels to Ball State.
The Cardinals are 29-2 at John E. Worthen Arena in the last three sea-sons, and Central Michigan hasn’t won there since 2008.
“(Ball State) brings a fantastic record at Worthen Arena,” head coach Erik Olson said. “They’re used to winning at home, so they have that going for them.”
The Chippewas come into the con-test on a three-match winning streak, but they will be focusing on breaking a fi ve-match losing streak to BSU.
“That gives us some motivation for sure,” senior defensive specialist Samantha Brawley said. “Their gym is a tough environment to play in, and the motivation to get to go back will help us play hard.”
If the losing streak wasn’t incentive enough, the Cardinals were picked to fi nish second in the MAC West pre-season poll – one spot ahead of CMU.
“Yeah, it gives us (motivation),” Brawley said. “But we get motivated for every MAC team. It’s a crazy conference, and you never know what will happen on any night.”
The Chippewas continue their road trip at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when they travel to Toledo.
The Rockets haven’t gotten off to a fast start. They are 7-9 overall and 1-3 in MAC play, with all three losses coming in sweeps to Northern Illinois, Western Michigan and the Cardinals.

Softball head coach Margo Jonker has agreed to a new four-year contract Wednes-day that runs through the 2016 season.
Jonker has been the head coach at Central Michigan since 1980 and has compiled a career record of 1067-647-5.
“It is great to know the administra-tion has confi dence in the direction the program is going and to know they want me to be the gatekeeper of the awesome Central Michigan softball program for the next four years and hopefully beyond,” Jonker said to CMU Athletics. “I am very excited, because I believe our program is going in the right direction. We have quality players on our team, who are also quality people. We play the game the way it’s supposed to be played, we take academics seriously, and we make sure that everyone earns a degree.”
She is ranked 15 in NCAA history in wins and is seventh among active Divi-sion I coaches.
During her reign as head coach, the Chippewas have had 13 NCAA Tourna-ment appearances, nine regular-season Mid-American Conference Champion-ships and nine MAC Tournament titles.
CMU’s nine tournament titles are the most in conference history by six.
“I’m very pleased that we’re able to extend Margo’s contract, and I’m very pleased that she’ll be leading our program well into the future,” CMU Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said to CMU Athletics. “She is certainly an icon in the softball world, and the opportunity to have her here is just tre-mendous. Continuity and consistency are important components to building championship-caliber programs, and this extension of Margo’s contract al-lows us to keep on that track.”

There are only two Mid-Ameri-can Conference fi eld hockey teams with an unblemished conference record.
The fi eld hockey team will face one of those teams in Missouri State at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Plas-ter Sports Complex in Springfi eld, Mo.
The Bears are new to the top of the standings. They had to beat Ball State and a Miami (Ohio) team that topped Central Michigan at home to get there.
“(Missouri State has) always been a good scoring team, and they’re at least opportunistic in the MAC,” head coach Cristy Freese said. “They’re sitting pretty ... but it doesn’t change what we need to do there anyway.”
MSU is led by a familiar name in the conference in junior Hillary Lawless, who has seven goals this season and 21 in her career.
“The kid’s really speedy and aggressive,” Freese said. “She has
got a nose to score like Erin (Dye). That kind of player is hard to defend.”
Missouri State’s fi eld turf poses another challenge. The Chippe-was used the fi eld at Kelly/Shorts Stadium Tuesday to practice on a surface they do not play on often.
The Field Hockey Complex for CMU has Astroturf that the ball rolls much faster on.
The Bears are a second-half team, scoring 12 goals compared to seven in the fi rst half this season.
They scored two goals in the sec-ond half of their 3-1 win over the RedHawks – their second victory in their last 10 games against MU.
CMU junior midfi elder Simone Lazar said they need to do much of the same against the surging Bears as players in past weeks have noted about other teams.
“As a team, we need to play together,” Lazar said. “We need to make the smarter passes and quick decisions, and if we work as a unit, we will put some goals in and beat them.”
CMU posted a 2–0 record last
weekend after suff ering fi ve–straight defeats.
Freese said what the team will carry over from the victories is confi dence.
“Losing takes a toll,” Freese said. “It’s nice to have a smile on your face on the way back.”
field hockey to play mAc-perfect missouri State Saturday
The Rockets are 4-1 and lead the MAC West division with a 2-0 record.
“They’re very explosive on of-fense,” head coach Dan Enos said. “Their quarterback is a very good player. Their backs are good. The off ensive line is very good. These have to be two of the best off enses we will see probably the entire year, meaning Northern Illinois and these guys back-to-back.”
Junior quarterback Terrance Owens leads an off ense that aver-
ages 30.6 points per game. He has thrown for nine touchdowns this season and has not thrown an interception.
“He’s a smart football player,” Enos said. “He’s played a lot of football and makes good deci-sions.”
Toledo also features an ex-plosive running game headed by junior David Fluellen. He averages 100 rushing yards per game and has found the end zone six times.
The Rockets are ranked fourth
in scoring defense. Senior Dan Molls leads the team with 62 tackles—25 more than the next highest.
“Defensively, they are big in-side, and they know their scheme very well,” Enos said. “They are a very good football team. “
CMU is coming off a 55-24 loss to NIU in which the Huskies put up 21 fourth-quarter points.
“We missed tackles,” Enos said. “It wasn’t for a lack of eff ort. Watching the video, they played
hard; just near the end of the game, guys were trying to do too much, and we didn’t get off the fi eld on third down. I think we had like four or fi ve third-and-tens, and they converted on all of them, and those kill you.”
After having zero turnovers in the Sept. 22 win against Iowa, CMU had two last week.
Senior quarterback Ryan Radcli� will lead Central Michigan into the Glass Bowl Saturday against a Toledo team ranked 12th in the Mid-American Conference in pass defense.
Unfortunately for the starting quarterback, the Rockets lead the conference in interceptions with seven.
After opening MAC play against last year’s West champion Northern Illinois, it will not get any easier for CMU when it kicks off against Toledo at 3 p.m.

“The big thing is we have to eliminate the mistakes and get back on the plus side of the turn-over margin again,” Enos said. “If we do that, then I think good
things will start happening.”Despite giving up 55 points
last game, junior Shamari Ben-ton said the defense is poised to have a breakout game.
“Watching film after last game, it gave us motivation,” he said. “It was a difficult loss, but it gives us motivation to prepare harder and go harder.”

“Toledo is very aggressive, and despite being ranked last in aces per set, they’re a pretty good serving team,” Olson said. “They are getting their opponent out of their system
pretty well.”Not only are the Rockets at
the bottom of the conference in aces per set, they’re at the bottom half of every statistical category in the MAC.
Despite that, Olson still believes Toledo is a dangerous team.
“They’re not all that great with their defensive system yet,” Olson said. “But I think they can side out, and that makes them a dangerous team and very capable.”

Head coach Dan Enos saw 18 missed tackles and poor defensive angles when he watched film after the 55-24 loss against Northern Illinois.
Junior linebacker Shamari Benton said watching the film actually motivated the defense that allowed the most points by a Central Michigan defense since 2008.
“(It was) definitely difficult to see that (score),” he said. “We work all week prepar-ing for the opposition. Seeing a score like that is always deflating; you never want to see that.”
Benton said the defenses practice Tuesday was great after watching film. Both Enos and senior quarterback Ryan Radcliff backed up Benton, agreeing the team had high energy in practice and is focused on preparing for Toledo.
The CMU defense has allowed 38.5 points per game through the first four games – 111th worst in college football. That statistic puts a burden on the CMU offense to keep up with the high scores.
“There is a little pressure associated with that,” Radcliff said. “We put pressure on ourselves because of what we
expect from ourselves. If you don’t have that pressure to score every possession, I don’t think you’re really compet-ing.”
The defensive task will not get any easier Saturday against Toledo. Enos said the Rocket offense, along with NIU’s, will be the best they see the rest of the way.
When watching film from NIU, Enos said he was not concerned with the lack of effort, but miscues.
“We missed tackles; 18 tackles we missed,” Enos said. “(They gained) 140 total yards in the last eight plays of game. We played hard; just guys trying to do so much that we over-pursued on cut backs, and they got big runs.
“(We) missed tackles, and (we) didn’t get off field on third downs. Four or five third-and-10s, and they got all of them. We have to be much better tackling and get off the field on third downs.”
NIU has the top third-down conversion rate in the MAC. Toledo is fourth in the MAC, one spot ahead of the Chippewas, moving the chains 45 percent of the time on third down.
When Enos was asked about defenses around college football struggling to stop offense, he said there are still
good defenses, and the teams with those defenses will be playing for championships.

By Matt ThompsonSenior Reporter
The preseason Mid-American Conference West Division favorite Toledo Rockets are 4-1 and have an explosive off ense similar to recent years.
Central Michigan allowed a combined 86 points to Toledo over the past two sea-sons, while the Chippewas tallied 48 points of its own.
The Rockets lost off ensive playmakers Eric Page and Adonis Thomas from last year’s one-loss MAC team. That has not stopped Toledo from having the 38th–best passing game in the country, scoring 30 points a game this season.
“They are very explosive on off ense,” CMU head coach Dan Enos said.
The quarterback, Terrance Owens, has thrown nine touchdowns without throw-ing an interception this sea-son. One strategy Enos said Toledo utilizes is quickly getting the ball out to wide receivers given one-on-one
match ups on the outside.“They run a couple
bubbles passes and screens,” CMU junior linebacker Shamari Benton said. “We have to get heads on swivels. It helps watching fi lm and seeing down and distances.”
Enos said it will be ex-tremely important to win the turnover battle. Toledo is tied for second in the MAC by causing six more turn-overs than it has given up.
CMU sits on the bottom of that last, tied for last in the MAC after losing six more turnovers than its lone fumble recovery and inter-ception of the season.
“The turnover factor is important,” fi rst-year Toledo head coach Matt Campbell said. “We talk so much to our kids about taking care of the football on off ense, and, on defense, we tell them to go get the ball.”
The Rockets lost their fi rst game of the season against Arizona in overtime before rattling off four-straight wins – two against MAC oppo-nents. During that span, the
Toledo defense has allowed 307 passing yards a game, ranking second–worst in the conference.
CMU senior quarter-back Ryan Radcliff said the matchup will be a big challenge. He is coming off his biggest performance of the season, throwing for 332 yards.
“They are a little nicked up, up front,” Radcliff said. “They have a lot of skill guys, real fast in the secondary. The majority of the cover-ages they run we have seen, and (we’ve seen) some things they haven’t shown yet (this season), but we know what (they bring). It will be just a matter of exploiting it.”
The Chippewas and Rockets will face off at 3 p.m. Saturday in Toledo, Ohio.
meet the toledo rockets
By Ryan SoleckiStaff Reporter
The Central Michigan women’s soccer team wraps up its four–game road trip this weekend when it faces Mid-American Conference opponents Toledo today and Northern Illinois on Sunday.
The Chippewas split the fi rst two games of this road trip beating in–state rival Western Michigan 1-0 to avenge last year’s loss in the MAC tourna-ment. Then CMU traveled to Ypsilanti to face another in-state team Eastern Michigan, but lost 2-0.
CMU will play Toledo today at 4 p.m. – a team they beat in a close match last year 1-0. The Chippewas took ten of the game’s 18 shots, while the Rockets had eight. However, the Rockets are without last
year’s senior Kristen Lynn, who accounted for fi ve of Toledo’s eight shots.
Looking to make up for its previous loss, the Chippewas know they have to do a better job of executing on their scor-ing chances.
“Right now, our biggest fl aw is not fi nishing in the fi nal third of the fi eld,” head coach Neil Staff ord said. “Missing the cross bar or post by inches isn’t fi nishing.”
Knowing how close last year’s game was, junior de-fender Estee Outcalt said she realizes how important it will be to closely defend and also maintain possession of the ball.
“I think we’re learning now that possession time indicates who’s going to win the game,” she said. “We need to create better chances for each other to score.”
Following today’s game against Toledo, the team will play NIU at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the NIU Soccer and Track & Field Complex. The Chippe-was beat the Huskies 1-0 last year, but the game wasn’t as closely played.
CMU got 18 shots off with seven of them on net, while NIU only got seven shots off , with four landing on net. Outcalt scored the lone goal against the Huskies last season, despite the team’s high number of shots. Now, the team looks to strategize for this year’s game.
“We analyze each team and come up with their strengths and weakness,” Outcalt said. “At this point, we know it’s go-ing to be a fi ght for a win each game.”

RyaN ZUKe:This grueling three-game road trip will end against another tough opponent
in Toledo. The Rockets were picked to fi nish fi rst in the MAC West division, and, so far, their 4-1 record and 2-0 mark in conference play have done nothing to hurt those chances. CMU’s off ense should be able to match Toledo’s, but the key will be for its defense to make stops on third down and create a turnover or two—some-thing the Rockets have done only three times this season. I think it will be close, but Toledo’s off ense will just be too much to handle.
Prediction: Toledo 41, CMU 31
Matt tHoMPsoN:As Dan Enos said this week at practice, the Toledo off ense will be the best
CMU will see all year. To keep up, Ryan Radcliff will need to be on point, and the off ense can’t turn the ball over or have miscues. I think CMU hangs in for awhile in the Glass Bowl, even picking off Terrance Owens for the fi rst time this season, but the Rockets run away in the second half.
Prediction: Toledo 41, CMU 30
bRaNDoN CHaMPIoN:In order for the Chippewas to have a chance to win against Toledo, the defense
is going to have to play much better than it did against Northern Illinois when it gave up 622 total yards. Like the Huskies, Toledo is one of the favorites in the Mid-American Conference West Division. If CMU wants to play a factor in this year’s championship race, it has to win this game, but I don’t see the Chippewas stopping Toledo junior quarterback Terrance Owens or the Rocket’s rushing attack, led by junior David Fluellen.
Prediction: Toledo 41, CMU 21
JUstIN HICKs:Ryan Radcliff will throw for more than 300 yards against a pass defense ranked
12th in the conference. Teams have averaged 306.6 passing yards against the Rock-ets this season, which is good for the senior quarterback. Unfortunately, Toledo also leads the MAC with seven interceptions – an aspect Radcliff has struggled with in the past. The Rockets are the better team on paper but might hurt them-selves with its lacking discipline (last in the MAC in penalties).
Prediction: Toledo 35, CMU 27
Staff predictions: football week six The Central Michigan Life football reporters weigh in on their expectations for this week’s matchup between the Central Michigan Chippewas (2-2) and the Toledo Rockets (4-1) Saturday at the Glass Bowl in Toledo, Ohio.
