Being ten minutes late to class and scroung-ing for quarters to feed the meter has been a common frustration of many Central Michigan University students. Parking Services is attempt-ing to fix that problem with mobile app Pango.

Available on iPhones and Android devices, Pango went operational Aug. 31. Office Direc-tor of Parking Services Kim Speet said the app will allow for students to remotely pay for parking from their phones.

“To use (Pango) just download the app, create an account and when (students) come on campus they find the location — CMU, Michigan — and select the zone,” Speet said. “(The app) doesn’t even need a meter number, just their zone.”

Students can start their meter time, which will count down from the maximum amount of time. When students have finished needing the meter, they can stop the time on their phone and pay their parking charges with the app.

“Students can stop their session at any time and it will charge them to the next half an hour. So if it’s 1:05 it will charge you for 1:30,” Speet said.

Chuck Mahone, president of Student Govern-ment Association, said the addition of the app is something to take note of, not just for students but anyone coming to campus.

“It’s (a matter of ) convenience. If (people) want to utilize it or if it’s something they’re interested in they should take advantage of it,” he said. “It’s something to be aware of and to know that they have the option.”

Students have begun to take notice. Milford senior Bradley Howe has yet to download the app but recognizes the benefits that Pango has.

“Pango is a good idea, I just have to do more re-search into how it works,” Howe said. “If it works and it works well, I’ll use it. It’s definitely easier than carrying around a big pile of quarters.”

The app shows how attentive Parking Ser-vices is to students’ needs, Mahone said.

“Our parking services department is taking student concerns into consideration and it’s something that’s important to note,” he said.

“Parking isn’t the best situation, at like at any college, and we just want (Parking Services) to know that we appreciate the effort.”

Students can download the app via the App Store or scan any of the iQR Readers posted on parking meters around campus.

Despite complaints about an anti-abortion preacher, university says it’s his right to share views

By: Jordyn HermaniNews Editor

@h3rmani | [email protected]

Standing at five-foot-four inches wand dressed in a way which could be described as indie-chic, “violent” would not be the first word to come to mind when you meet Brianne Elzinga.

Friends of the Grand Rapids junior say she has a “good sense of self” and is “unique.” But lately, social media comments have portrayed her as “immature” and “disrespectful,” after a photo of her kicking an anti-abortion sign was seen by 187,000 people on Central Michigan Life’s Facebook page.

“I hate that picture. It looks like I’m kicking down what looks like Bible quotes, and that’s not true,” said Elzinga, a fashion merchandising major.

Coming back from the CMU Bookstore, Elzinga heard shouting near the path by Fabiano Gardens. On the way back to her apartment, she was met by notori-ous “preacher” Rick Warzywak.

“I saw (Warzywak) telling people about abortion. I started saying over him that one in three women will have an abortion and that’s OK,” Elzinga said. “Right after I started saying that, he held up a picture of an aborted fetus and I told him that wasn’t OK and I kicked it (away).”

It wasn’t so much Warzywak’s message which made her angry, Elzinga said, but the confrontational tone he took with her.

“I’m just so sick of hate speech coming from him,” Elzinga said. “(His views) are unaccepting of others and they don’t really look at the whole picture because when you say those kinds of things, it makes me think that you only look from inside yourself.”

Warzywak remembers the incident differently.“I tried to share with (Elzinga) the love of Christ that

God forgives (individuals who have abortions) because (those fetuses) are literally a baby. It’s real, and they are murdered,” Warzywak said. “She was highly offended by that so she kicked the (picture) board, screaming and yelling, which was okay because I told her I was going to pray for her. And I did — a number of times.”

Warzywak has been visiting campus for the past 22 years to “preach” on the topic of abortion. Viewing himself as a person who does not “judge people,” although many students suggest otherwise, Warzywak said he is an individual who “offers hope” by stirring up conversation.

“We’ve all broken God’s laws by lying, cheating, stealing — whatever it may be — and Christ came as a

CAMpuS ConfrontAtIon

mercy,” Warzywak said. “I try to offer (students) the mercy. A lot of people don’t like it because they’re living a life which is opposed to God.”

A teacher-turned-businessman-turned-director for “national prayer movement” Transformation Michigan, Warzywak has been traveling Michigan to speak at public universities since the early 1990s.

For five years Warzywak shied away from preach-ing at colleges in order to pursue his role at Transfor-mation Michigan but said he was “impressed upon” to revisit campuses across the state.

“There’s trouble in America right now: eco-nomically and physically we have things going on. A lot of students see it,” Warzywak said. “I’m here to say that Jesus Christ is a lifeboat. If we oppose God’s laws, the nation gets cursed. That’s the time

we’re in right now — the Titanic.”Keeping with Warzywak’s analogy, like the ship that

hit the iceberg, two opposing forces collided on a sunny September sidewalk on CMU’s campus. A single image of the meeting would spark a social media debate on how first amendment rights apply to CMU’s students.

“(Online), I received a lot of backlash (from the photo),” Elzinga said. “But really the only person who called me and told me I did anything wrong was my dad.”

As the dust settled and rapid-fire fingers rested after contributing 250 comments and replies, one question still remained: who, if anyone, was in the wrong? Religious PResence on camPus

CMU has an open campus policy. Any person

has the right to set foot on university property. When demonstrators become uncivil, it isn’t al-ways clear what constitutes as disturbing the peace, prompting their removal.

“It is a very gray area when you’re talking about balancing people’s constitutional right to free speech and when it’s creating a nuisance to the university,” said Central Michigan University Police Lt. Cameron Wassman. “If we were confronted with an issue where somebody had a problem with what they were saying, we would consult university attorneys on what the best course of action would be. It could violate univer-sity policy and we could ask them to leave.”

Being allowed to speak on campus does not come without limitations. According to CMU’s policy on protests, people who come on campus to preach

or protest must adhere to time, place and manner restrictions.

“Demonstrating is permitted after 6:30 a.m. and before 8 p.m.” the policy states. “To register (for demonstrating), the person or representa-tive must provide his/her name… the name of the group (if any) demonstrat-ing and the approximate time(s) and location(s) of the demonstration.”

Demonstrators must remain 50 feet away from any athletic venues, 40 feet from any residence hall windows, 25 feet from any classroom window or door and 25 feet from any classroom building. Dem-onstrators cannot protest or gather in an athletic venue or university building. The same applies for fliers handed out by.

CMU has never had an issue in which a religious presence has had to be forcibly removed from campus.

“There are times we’ve gotten (students) who think (certain demonstrators) are annoying. We will talk to (the demonstrators) and they will leave and we never see them again. But then they’re replaced by other ones,” Wassman said. “It’s really hard to regulate.”

With more than 20 religiously-affiliated RSOs on campus, students have many options to practice their faith or learn about religion. Their ability to hold meetings and events is protected under the First Amendment. U.S. citizens have the right to speech, press, religious freedom, peaceable assembly and petition the government.

When personal appearance, gender expression

and sexuality come under fire by religious demonstrators, some students become resentful of their pres-ence on campus, said Students Advocating Gender Equality Co-President President Kai Niezgoda.

“Rick and some other on-campus preachers have been known to say some

pretty harmful things to students,” said Niez-goda, a Royal Oak senior. “(As a result) we have decided to organize a protest to counter act (their) hateful messages.”

In order to show solidarity with students who have felt intimidated or targeted by Warzywak’s taunts or comments on their sexuality, Niezgoda took part in a protest created by SAGE.

Created in response to the backlash Elzinga received after kicking over Warzywak’s sign, Niezgoda said the point of the demonstration was to emphasize CMU students would not tolerate “hate as a CMU value.”

Niezgoda identifies as transgender and non-binary, meaning they utilize they/them pronouns and does not identify as the binary genders of male or female. Many times, Niezgoda said, they are targeted for not adhering to gender norms and called homophobic slurs by the more radical religious demonstrators.

And they aren’t the only ones to have a negative experience with Warzywak. Holland senior Jak Grubbs, who also identifies as non-binary and uses

they/them pronouns, admits Warzywak’s presence has intimidated them to the point where they feel unsafe with dressing in a certain fashion.

“I’ve been screamed at so many times,” Grubbs said. “I’ve been told once (by Warzywak) that I’m go-ing to Hell. I usually wear a ton of rainbow bracelets; I don’t feel comfortable wearing them anymore.”

Comparing experiences between religious campus visitors like Warzywak and groups such as Mormon missionaries, Niezgoda said the difference comes from the way in which their personhood is viewed.

“The key comes down to respect and not being dehumanized,” Niezgoda said. “When Mormon mis-sionaries come up to me and talk to me, they are seeing me as another person even if they do have the same goal (as Warzywak) to convert me to their religion.

While they’re doing that, they’re treating me like a human being. Whereas when you’re being screamed at by one of these fundamentalist Christians it tends to feel like they’re not even seeing you as a human being. It’s like they’re seeing you as this number to convert.”

Mormon Elder Reese said he comes to campus with two-year mission companion, Elder Cameron Chalmers, to “be there for students.”

“Most (students) are very kind to us. And even if they’re not interested, they’ll usually hear us out,” El-mer said. “Some students even come to seek us out. I’d say about 40 percent of students we talk to give us their contact information, with about 30 percent of that being faked.”

The answer to bad speech is a better speech. When you don’t

like what someone is saying, don’t muzzle them, speak out.

DIRECTORY OF RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS

Invitation to Worship

Others, like Jehovah’s Witness volunteer Michael Pryter, said their group is present at CMU to serve as an avenue for students seeking meaning in their lives.

“The purpose (of Jehovah’s Witnesses) coming to campus is to meet people and to help them get into the scriptures and find a satisfying answer to their questions,” Pryter said. “The people that we talk to, they’re coming to us and looking for something, we’re not really stopping them. We’re just here to say ‘hi’ and ask how things are going.”

When asked about Warzywak’s method of commu-nicating with students, Chalmers, Elmer and Pryter denied any sort of kinship with him and his methods.

Still, despite personal confrontations Niezgoda and Grubbs have had with on-campus religiously moti-vated visitors, both agree it is the right of individuals like Warzywak to preach where he is permitted.

“Obviously campus preachers have the right to be here. However, they don’t have the right to harass and intimidate students,” Niezgoda said. “Qualitatively, we know that (verbal abuse) is something that happens (to students) so were anyone to come forward and say that one or more of the campus preachers had crossed the line be-tween protected speech and unprotected speech, we think that would make a difference.”

Warzywak, however, maintains he is well within the confines of what CMU allows while demonstrat-ing on campus.

“My son is in law enforcement — I know my rights,” Warzywak said. “And I have lawyers, good lawyers. I (am protected by) free speech.”

What constitutes fRee sPeech?Journalism professor Tim Boudreau, who teaches

media law, puts to bed the myth of hate speech being unprotected under the First Amendment.

“Hate speech is protected by the First Amend-ment, so you can be hateful and express yourself in a hateful manner until or unless you act on those

beliefs,” Boudreau says. “Once that speech becomes action, then you have a problem. In short, hate speech is largely protected by the First Amendment.”

Under university policy, if the CMU President feels stricter guidelines are necessary for people who wish to demonstrate on campus, then he has the ability to establish such.

“Circumstances may arise in which the president concludes it is necessary to establish more specific conditions for demonstrations,” reads article F of the university’s online demonstration policy. “In such a case the president will make a public announcement of the special conditions and the duration of their effect.”

What the president, or any group on campus, can-not do is ban a group from speaking completely.

“Courts have said that what you can do is to sim-ply walk away,” Boudreau says. “You’re not a captive audience. You don’t have to listen to that (demon-strator). The First Amendment does not protect your right to feel comfortable.”

Even if a student, or group of students, does not agree with the message of an on campus visitor, the most that can be done is to report a demonstrator for disturbing the peace.

“There could potentially be a case for dis-turbing the peace, but it really depends on what is being said if it’s ‘shocking the conscience.’ It’s not a very definitive, catch-all statute,” Was-sman said. “It’s the total of the whole thing. If they are confronting students and not letting them pass through, if they are cursing and swearing. At the same time, nobody has re-ported it as criminal matter to us.”

Disturbing the peace is defined, by Michigan state legislature Section 705.170 as: “any person who shall make or excite any disturbance or contention in any… street, lane, alley, highway, public building, grounds or park, or at any elec-tion or other public meeting where citizens are peaceably and lawfully assembled, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.”

As of now, CMUPD has yet to remove a dem-onstrator from university grounds for disturbing the peace.

“When students want to shut these (demon-

strators) up, engage in your own speech,” Bou-dreau said. “The answer to bad speech is a better speech. When you don’t like what someone is saying, don’t muzzle them, speak out.”

a lasting imPactNow when walking to class, Elzinga takes care to

avoid on-campus preachers.“I’m not scared of them,” she clarified. “I just don’t

want to bring any more attention to myself right now.”While not against the presence of religion or

religious demonstrators on campus, Elzinga said if preaching is going to be done it shouldn’t be in a “hateful manner.”

“I’m not against Christians or what they stand for with their values, but you can’t just go around making someone feel bad about themselves and expect them to follow you after that,” Elzinga said. “It’s not going to work that way. It’s never going to work that way.”

She urges individuals who are interested in spreading their personal religion on campus to remember the humanity of others.

“Have empathy for others around you be-

cause you never know what’s going on in their lives,” Elzinga said. “(Warzywak) doesn’t really understand that.”

Warzywak views his confrontational method of preaching to accurately convey his brand of Christi-anity. Being respected or liked by the student body is not a concern, he said.

“If I’m a dialogue piece, then OK,” Warzywak said. “People don’t have to like me.”

Since the incident, Elzinga and Warzywak have met fleetingly one time.

“I saw (Elzinga) today and she wasn’t as violent,” Warzywak said. “I bet the next time I come (to campus), she and I will have a conversation.”

Before that can even be considered, Elzinga said, Warzywak needs to take a deeper look into who he is as a person.

“(Warzywak) is so absorbed in his own values, I don’t think he would take the time to listen to me,” Elzinga said. “I don’t think I’ll speak out against (Warzywick) again because I’ve already made my point very clear. At this point, it would just be beating a dead horse.”

A member of the Central Michigan football team arrested for retail fraud in July will be sentenced Friday, Sept. 18 in Isabella County Trial Court

Connor Collins, a junior offensive lineman, and a friend attempted to steal a grill and clothing items worth $101.47 from Walmart, according to court records. The crime is misdemeanor that carries a $500 fine or 93 days in jail.

According to the police report, Collins was with a friend when he went to Walmart and placed items in his shopping cart. When finished, the two headed to the self-checkout lines. They grabbed all the items from the cart, except the grill. Then, the pair walked toward the lawn and garden section, when Collins’ friend grabbed a men’s swimsuit,

hanging them on the edge of the cart. They purchased propane for the grill, but then passed all points of sale with the grill and swimsuit still not paid for.

The police report says the two decided to “push their luck” to see if they got caught instead of returning to the store to pay for their items.

A fine of three times the value of the stolen property can also be imposed.

Collins is listed on the football roster but is out on a medical hardship, said Rob Wyman, assistant athletics director for communications. Collins does not currently practice with the team.

WILD ALASKAUP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH UNTAMED WILDLIFE

Central Michigan Life Photo Editor Kaiti Chritz had the opportunity to work for the National Park Service in Alaska as an Ocean Alaska Science and Learning Center media intern this summer. The

biology and photojournalism student’s main assignment was to fly to Katmai National Park to make a short documentary about the research scientists who were studying coastal brown bears.

“When you’re lying on the Alaskan tundra nose to nose with a wild (tranquilized) brown bear, your view on the typical work day starts to change,” Chritz said. “Having the opportunity to

take photos and videos in the home of the world’s largest pro-tected population of brown bears feels surreal to this day, and I’m sure it always will. Other assignments took me into Kenai Fjords National Park, where I experienced breaching humpback whales, black bears and calving glaciers. I’ve been able to see so many incredible things through the lens of my camera this sum-mer, but the most exciting part of this adventure is being able to share the stories of this land, the creatures who call it home, and the people who dedicate their life to learning about and protect-ing it. It was truly a dream come true.”

Though they aren’t as extensive as other renovation projects on campus, it is encouraging to see the aging Wightman Hall receive updates. The two projects equal about $800,000.

grams to be cut when budgets are tight, so it’s nice to see a needed investment in an area students are interested in.

CMU’s fashion merchandising and design program was recently ranked 25th nationally among public schools and 12th in the Midwest by Fashion Schools. Upon graduation, more than 92 percent of fashion merchandising and design grads are placed into industry jobs, attracting brands like Reebok, Urban Outfitters, Kohl’s, Quicksilver and others.

New investment in fashion mer-chandising and design students will likely improve the talent seen in the Threads Fashion Show. From the lighting, live music, models, make up and planning leading up to the event, students with or without designs in the show had a hand in the production last year. The fashion show is the second largest event on campus.

Big things are going on in Wightman Hall. We are happy to see opportunities created for students in programs that are often overlooked.

Construction of a new six-story Courtyard by Marriott hotel on Central Michigan University’s campus is a year behind schedule.

Located east of Kelly/Shorts stadium, the project was set to be completed in August 2015, but is now scheduled to open summer 2016.

Lodgco Hospitality, a Mount Pleasant-based company, will fund the project, which could cost up to $15 million. Central Michi-gan University is not funding the project, but has made a partial contribution to construction on East Campus Drive.

The university is also leasing the land to Lodgco on a 30 year contract. Over that span of time, the company will pay CMU $5.25 million.

“We are starting to put the roof on. That should be done some-time in October and we are brick-ing the sides,” said Mike Postle, vice president of Construction and Project Management at Lodgco Hospitality.

Students will be able to use the facilities for training, Postle said, and the hotel will assist during game days with crowd control.

“We wanted to team up with Central to create a hotel that would both work for our com-pany, Lodgco, but also for CMU, allowing students to have a say

in how we’re going to run things and see operations first hand,” Postle said.

The 148-room hotel will have seven conference rooms that can be used by CMU to host meetings and other events. The university will have input in how the confer-ence rooms are built.

Hospitality students will be trained in the facility and profes-sors will schedule classes at the hotel so students can learn skills first hand.

“I think something magic is going to happen,” said Gary Gagnon, assistant professor of hospitality services administra-tion. “We are very excited about this for a whole host of reasons. We want the students to take ownership of the hotel. Part of having it on campus is that we want this to be the home for CMU hospitality students. ”

Mike Smith, President and CEO of Lodgco Hospitality, is an alumnus of CMU. Smith’s connection to the project is a statement, Gagnon said, about the quality of the hospitality program.

“He graduated from our pro-gram a long time ago. It’s fantastic just to see one of our alums doing something so incredible. Now his company is going to be hiring and helping to train our students,” Gagnon said.

Laingsburg senior Dale Boettcher said he is excited to be able to work in the hotel as opposed to learning through a

textbook or lecture.“I think the best way to learn

something is to do it yourself and to actually experience it,” Boettcher said. “You can only learn so much from a textbook. You have to actually get into the field to know what you’ll be working with.”

As part of his duties as president, of the Hospitality and Tourism Society, Boettch-er has difficulty finding rooms on campus available to host group meetings.

“The hotel is going to let us use their board room overlook-ing the football field for our weekly meetings,” he said.

Wixom senior Kayla Ander-son is also excited about a new opportunity.

“I think it’s a really great idea because it will be good to have a hotel that’s connected with Cen-tral,” said Anderson, a hospitality major. “It would be really cool to actually have classes at a hotel. I feel like you would get more experience that way.”

Soccer ready for senior day, Bennett finaleBy Joe Judd

Staff Reporter@Josecan_yousee | [email protected]

Prior to its next game at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Central Michigan Uni-versity soccer will honor its seniors with a pregame ceremony. The team will also recognize another who can’t attend.

Josie Seebeck died at the age of 19 in a car crash that occurred on Interstate 69 in August 2013. Seebeck would have been a senior this year.

Her memory is still felt among players and the coaching staff, and her death continues to have an impact on the CMU soccer family.

“It’s going to be an incred-ibly special day for our pro-

gram and an incredibly hard day,” said Head Coach Peter McGahey. “(There is a) special nature in terms of recognizing Josie and the impact she had in her short time here. It’s going to be an incredibly emotional and powerful day.”

Nearly three years after her death, the Chippewas are still grieving. Senior midfielder Kaelyn Korte said Sunday’s ceremony will help the team cope with the loss.

“It’s been hard,” Korte said. “There are some days that are better than others, but I know for the girls who were very close with her, she’s never left their side.”

Seebeck’s memory stirs emo-tion amongst the players, coaches

and family. Korte said she focuses on the many positives.

“It will bring back some painful memories, but it will also remind us of the good ones. Almost, in a way, it’s closure. It’s her senior day too; she’s going to be with us every step of the game.”

A Bennett send-off

The team will no longer call Bennett Field home after

Sunday’s game.A new athletic complex

will be home to CMU’s lacrosse team in addition to the university’s club soc-cer and lacrosse teams. An upgrade over Bennett, the $8 million complex will host its fair share of memories in the upcoming decades.

“It is kind of sad because we’ve had so many highs and lows on this field, but I think it’s time to move on,” Korte said. “Bennett is a great field but we’re ready for a change of scenery.

Built in 1999, Bennett Field has hosted hundreds of games in nearly 20 years as the home of the CMU soccer program.

CMU is scheduled to play its first game in the synthetic surface facility by the time they return home to play Mi-ami (Ohio) Friday, Oct. 2.

expected to be a change of pace from the No. 24 DePaul Blue Demons, who handed the Chippewas a 1-0 loss a week ago.

“I think moral victories are hard but I also believe in a process,” McGahey said. “As a team we’re putting in a good process. We were in the game

Following a rocky start to the season, playing at home might be the perfect remedy for Central Michigan University’s volleyball team.

CMU (3-7) will stumble into this weekend’s Chippewa Challenge riding a three-game losing streak after losing their last eight sets.

“I seriously cannot wait to play here,” sophomore outside hitter Jordan Bueter said. “You’re home, you’re relaxed, even more relaxed than you would be. You also get re-ally excited just because you know people, and people are coming to support just us.”

This will be freshman setter Marissa Grant’s first time playing a regular season game in front of the Chippewa fans.

“I’m really excited to get the

experience of the atmosphere here,” Grant said. “It’ll be a lot of fun because we’ve been on the road so much, and now people are actually going to be able to come to our games.”

CMU will face Evansville, San Jose State and Nebraska-Omaha at McGuirk Arena in the two-day tournament.

The Chippewas split with Evansville and Nebraska-Omaha during the 2014 campaign.

CMU takes on Evansville (4-6) at 7 p.m. Friday. The Chippewas earned their first win against the Purple Aces 3-1 last season. UE is led by sophomore outside-hitter Genesis Miranda, who currently leads the Missouri Valley Confer-ence in kills with 197. She was also named to the All-Freshman team last season.

“Evansville is a little better of a team than they were last year,” Head Coach Erik Olson said. “They’re less sloppy with

taking care of the ball.” Another player to watch is

senior libero Kim Deprez, who is ranked first in the MVC in digs with 208.

Olson said junior setter Kathia Sanchez will be the starter at the setter position de-spite suffering an injury during the Fresno State Invite.

“I haven’t seen any limita-tions thus far,” Olson said about Sanchez. “She’s in pain, but she’s fully functional.”

The Chippewas rank 10th in the Mid-American Conference, averaging 10.85 assists per set. Sanchez has seen the bulk of the action playing in 30 of the Chippe-was’ 38 sets. The Puerto Rico na-tive leads the team with 250 assists, while Grant has played in 18 of the 38 sets totaling 97 assists.

The Chippewas matchup with San Jose State at 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The Spartans enter the tournament 6-4, win-

ning five of their last six games. SJSU’s 66 service aces is the

most in the Mountain West Con-ference, with four Spartans having 10 or more compared to just one player for CMU.

The Chippewas will finish the Challenge at 7:30 p.m. Saturday against Nebraska-Omaha (4-6), a team that topped CMU 3-1 in the season opener last year.

Keep an eye out for Maverick senior outside hitter Kelley Wollak, as she became the 19th player in Nebraska-Omaha history to sur-pass 1,000 career kills during last week’s event. The 5-foot-9 veteran leads her squad with 145 kills.

“They have done some good things,” Olson said. “I have no pulse on them because that was our first match of the season last year, and we were a mess in that first match. I think Omaha might be the best team that’s coming into this tournament, but Evansville is much improved from last year.”

InTEgRATIng EXPERTISE

Few know just how much a team’s overall field position has an impact on the outcome of the game. It isn’t a flashy statistic, but small gains from the special teams unit can be just as crucial as passing yards or third-down stops.

Punting, kicking field goals and securing good starting field position are key that Central Michigan University football Head Coach John Bonamego has worked with in the NFL for 16 years. Now he’s bringing that focus and expertise to Mount Pleasant.

“I think we’ve covered kicks well,” Bonamego said. “For field position, you have to consider

turnovers too. We’ve been steady in the kickoff return game and punt returns, frankly we just haven’t had many opportunities.”

Junior punter Ron Coluzzi began his career as a Chippewa as the team’s place-kicker until being moved to punter full time last season.

Coluzzi placed 18 of his 52 career punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line last season and had just five touchbacks.

Five of his 10 punts have landed inside the 20 this year without a touchback.

Mental toughness and preparation are keys to his success affecting the field position game.

“If you do work during the week with your drops, reps form and flexibility, you have the confidence to go out and perform,” Coluzzi said.

Coluzzi said he has seen the difference in the special teams game since Bonamego’s hiring.

“He knows the terminology on special

teams,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot from him. We have fun out here every day doing what we do, so it is great to have him here.”

Kicking field goals again for the Chippewas is Brian Eavey. A senior from Grand Ledge, Eavey, missed only three of his field goal at-tempts from a year ago.

This offseason, Eavey was able to practice and learn from former Detroit Lions place kicker Jason Hanson thanks to Bonamego’s NFL connections.

Hanson spent all 20 of his professional sea-sons with the Lions, was a two-time member of the NFC Pro Bowl team (1997, 1999) and is third in NFL history in total points scored with 2,150.

Coluzzi also worked with current Lions

If football fans know his name, it’s probably not a good thing.

Central Michigan University long snapper Mike Zenk isn’t worried about whether students know who he is, he just wants NFL scouts to know his name. As a long snapper, the Toledo senior snaps the ball on punts, field goals and extra points. After snapping the ball 10-15 yards on punts, he runs down the field to tackle. On field goals and extra points, he blocks like an offensive lineman after the 5-10-yard snap.

“When I get down, I get my hands set and find my target point,” Zenk said. “By the time I have my target, I’ll usually have some random song in my head, just waiting

for (junior linebacker Nathan) Ricketts to say set. As soon as I hear that, I have the choice of when I can snap.”

Zenk, who’s 6-foot-3 inches tall and 259 pounds with a burly beard and long hair, said long snappers are mostly invisible “until (they) mess up.” They don’t come up in conversation unless kicks are getting blocked, snaps are slow and out of sync or false start penalties start piling up on special teams.

There are no pats on the back or player of the week awards. They’re expected to do their job.

While college football teams often have to convert a player from a different position to become a long snapper, Zenk made the transition in fourth grade to find a way off the bench.

“I was kind of a water boy, a practice player in my fourth grade team,” Zenk said. “My coach at the time told me if I ever learned how to long snap, I would always have a spot. So after that, I started snapping.”

Long snappers need to be strong like linemen, but

Special Teams Coordinator and Safeties Coach Mike Dietzel said quarterbacks often become long snappers because of the need for an accurate spiral.

“If you don’t have a guy who could do it in high school (like Zenk), you’ll grab a backup quarterback, somebody who can throw a spiral,” Dietzel said. “Then make him your long snapper. If he’s a good athlete and can throw spirals, then he can at least have a chance.”

There aren’t many stats that can help evaluate the success of a long snapper. After watching film and seeing Mid-American Conference players live, Dietzel said Zenk ranks in the top third of long snappers.

Head Coach John Bonamego said he’s pleased with Zenk’s performance.

“He’s been very accurate and consistent,” he said. “Those are the two things you look for.”

Dietzel compared practice for long snappers to baseball pitchers trying to hit a target.

“Just like a pitcher warms up (by throwing)

fastballs into a painted tarp, we do the same thing,” he said. “They hit the fence or they hit the wall, we put up a tarp or target and they’ve got to hit a target.”

Instead of looking up to NFL players like Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning or Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch, Zenk looks up to the professional long snapping experts.

“When I first started, (the now retired) Patrick Mannelly from the Bears had a website,” Zenk said. “I would email him and he would get back to (me). I’ve worked with Justin Snow, who played 13 years mostly with the Colts. I’m still hoping for the day I get to meet Don Muhlbach from the Lions.”

Zenk said playing in the NFL someday is “the dream.” Most are signed as undrafted free agents.

He doesn’t care about the spotlight, though. Or the recognition.

Just like in fourth grade, Zenk just wants a spot on a team.

A crucial turning point in the quest for national rec-ognition has arrived for the Chippewas.

The team surprised critics by hanging with Oklahoma State before dropping the 2015 season opener 24-13. Ten days later, CMU handled FCS opponent Monmouth 31-10 to claim its first victory of the season.

Now halfway through the nonconference slate, first-year Head Coach John Bonamego takes his maroon and gold show on the road. The first stop on CMU’s two-week road swing is the massive dome sta-dium of a Power Five school.

The Syracuse Orange,

members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, are 2-0 this season after trouncing Rhode Island 47-0 and Wake Forest 30-17 in back-to-back weeks.

Led by freshman quarter-back Eric Dungey, SU’s second matchup with the Chippewas in as many years will serve as a primer for the Orange’s biggest test of the season Sept. 26: No. 13 Louisiana State.

Dungy was forced under center in the Orange’s season opener after senior quarter-back Terrel Hunt was side-lined with a season-ending ACL tear. Last season, Hunt ripped the CMU defense — the best in the Mid-American Conference last year – for 267 total yards and three touch-downs. SU defeated CMU 40-3 in Mount Pleasant.

“We owe them from last

year,” said senior linebacker and team captain Tim Hamil-ton after Saturday’s game.

Quarterback Cooper Rush echoed Hamilton’s sentiment.

“(That game) still stings,” Rush added. “We didn’t think they were that much better than us, but they kicked our butts. We want that one back.”

So far in 2015, CMU has struggled mightily running the ball. Chippewa rushers com-bined for only 158 yards on the ground on 62 carries in the first two games. No CMU running back has recorded a touchdown heading into Week 3.

CMU’s inability to run the ball presents a mismatch against an Orange defense that has allowed an average of just 25 yards per game through two weeks, second-best in the nation.

“With Syracuse, you have to be able to defend a lot of different things,” Bonamego said. “We still have to try and run the football. We’re going to have to stay out of third-and-long.”

On defense, CMU will be without junior lineman Joe Ostman, who suffered an ankle injury against Mon-mouth. Nose tackle Shafer Johnson said CMU’s first line of defense is able to compen-sate for Ostman’s absence.

“It’s not who we play, it’s how we play,” Johnson said. “This is a new beginning with a new coach. The past is the past, you can’t undo it. I wouldn’t call it revenge, but it is important.

“We’re not going to miss astep.” For the full story, visit cm-life.com

Football aims to avenge Syracuse loss

Emmitt Thomas has already been on a long journey and he’s just a true fresh-man. He believes he has finally found his destination.

The Central Michigan University football cornerback has pinpointed his role on the field as the team’s punt and kick returner.

It’s been a long trek to Mount Pleasant that began during Thomas’ high school years, when he graduated from Glynn Academy in Brunswick, Georgia in 2014.

Thomas received interest from programs such as Florida and Georgia Southern, but eventually committed to Cincinnati.

“Because of some things that hap-pened academically for him, he was committed to Louisville and he was ready to go, but things didn’t work out for him,” said Safeties Coach and Special Teams Coordinator Mike Dietzel.

By the time the 2014 season rolled around, Thomas was enrolled at Hutchin-son Community College in Kansas, though it would be a short stay at the junior college.

Thomas came home after “about a week.” He essentially took a season off of football, washing cars to make ends meet.

“I thought I was going to give up on football,” Thomas said. “(My two high school coaches) got me recruited to Central Michigan.”

Not listed on the two-deep depth chart released in August, Thomas worked his way from training camp rookie to the starter against Big 12 conference power-house Oklahoma State in Week 1.

Through two games against the Cow-boys and Monmouth, Thomas has 123 yards on six returns, good for a 20.5 yard average. He has only returned one punt for two yards so far.

CMU Running Backs Coach Gino Guidugli and Defensive Backs Coach Archie Collins were in Georgia on a re-cruiting trip. While CMU representatives were at the school, the Glynn Academy coaches told them about Thomas.

The Chippewa coaching staff was im-pressed and offered Thomas a scholarship after an official visit.

“I had to find a home,” Thomas said. “It was a lot of work down the road. It’s been a long journey, but I’ve managed to get through it.”

The freshman was nervous during training camp. He was unsure of his role, but hoped his hard work would lead to playing time at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“I was just hoping to play,” Thomas said. “Just to get a run.”

CMU’s initial 2015 two-deep depth chart listed sophomore wide receiver Corey Willis and sophomore defensive back Amari Coleman as punt and kick returners. Shortly after, Thomas found out he would be getting the start against OSU.

“I was nervous but happy at the same time,” Thomas said. “The first thing I did was call my mom back home. She was

happy. Everybody was happy for me.”Head Coach John Bonamego has

noticed Thomas’ returns and sees a bright future for his present returner.

“He’s done a good job of taking care of the football.” Bonamego said. “He’s a young kid. He’s getting better every day. He’s just got to keep working through his mistakes and be patient with it.”

Thomas has the luxury of Bonamego’s experience as a special teams coordina-tor in the NFL alongside Dietzel to work with. The latter said what sticks out the most about his kick returner is a passion to play at the collegiate level when there seemed to be no path.

“He’s got a great work ethic,” Dietzel

said. “(He) had the ability to still keep that dream alive in (his) head. Lone and behold we found him, he found us and it was a good match for everybody.”

One person who can relate is Cole-man, who was in Thomas’ position last season as a freshman punt and kick returner. Coleman has since transi-tioned into a starting cornerback, but is assisting Thomas in the position he once tried to master.

“I’ve seen a lot of progress (from Thomas),” Coleman said. “He’s catching balls a lot more and catching them easier. He’s just playing and having fun with it like he usually does.”

Thomas said he’s only dropped two

balls in practice. It has become so rare that even Coleman was shocked when he saw the blunders.

“He’s really sure-handed,” Coleman said. “When he dropped those two balls I was really surprised because he never drops them.”

Dietzel said Thomas’ maturity level and confidence has elevated since the beginning of training camp. His weight increase from 148 pounds to nearly 170 nicely complements his speed.

“He’s got that acceleration and burst,” Dietzel said. “He’s one of those guys that by the time he hits that second or third step, he’s almost full speed. That’s a gift.

“He’s only going to get better.”

Returning to actionTrue freshman Thomas finds

home as returner

punter Sam Martin. The opportuni-ties, set up by Bonamego, gave the kickers a chance to improve their game prior to the season.

“(Bonamego has) helped us a lot,” Eavey said. “He knows everything about kicking. He tells me what to do to fix things and be perfect. He’s

got connections. It’s unbelievable the difference he has made.”

Like Coluzzi, Eavey pays a great deal of attention to the mental aspect of the kicking game. From last season to this one, however, he said that is something he has greatly improved on.

“It comes down to if you make it or not. You are either loved or hated,” Eavey said. “You’ve got to do your job and be mentally tough. Stuff is going to happen. This year

I’ve gained so much more confi-dence. I want to hit ones from as

deep as I possibly can.” Special Teams Coordinator Mike

Dietzel is in his first season at the position after spending 2010-2014 as the Co-Special Teams Coordinator at Buffalo.

Dietzel said he is happy to serve the special teams department under a coach who has special teams expe-rience at the professional level.

“He takes it to a whole different level from an understanding standpoint,” Dietzel said. “For me, it’s a great experi-ence to learn and grow professionally.”
