STUDENT LIFE Central Review is seeking STUDENT WORK Central Michigan University’s Central Review is accepting submissions for the Fall 2014 edition.

The Central Review, an undergraduate literary journal, gives students the opportunity to share their work with peers.

Zachary Riddle, Coldwater senior and Central Review editor, explained the Central Review accepts many different kinds of creative works.

“We accept any kind of photography, poetry and fiction.

For each submission, a student can include the following: five paragraphs, five poems of any length and three pieces of fiction no longer than 3,000 words,” Riddle said.

Students can send submissions to cmucentralreview@gmail.com.

“We accept one submission a year from students , which includes the five photographs, five poems and three fiction pieces,” Riddle said. “These submissions can be emailed in separate parts so long as the student identifies themselves in the header of the email, indicating the kind of submission they are sending us.”

Students should also include a short autobiography, no longer than 300 words, when they email their creative pieces.

The deadline for submission for the Fall semester is midnight Oct. 13. No submissions after that time will be accepted.

Students with published work in Central Review will attend the Reading and Release party planned for 6 p.m. on Nov. 27 at 6 p.m. in the Baber room.

Professor aids detection of invasive species Water sampling techniques developed by a Central Michigan University professor led to the detection of a new invasive species of carp in the Kalamazoo River.

Andrew Mahon, Institute for Great Lakes Research scientist and assistant professor of biology, is one of the scientists who pioneered the environmental DNA detection methods used by Michigan Depart-

The groups announced the presence of Asain silver carp in the lower part of the river in Allegan County Oct. 16.

Asian silver carp are known to leap out of the water when startled, disrupting commercial and recreational fishing operations.

The Michigan DNR estimates the damages of invasive species in the United States to total more than $123 billion dollars annually.

“A tremendous number of new species are being introduced all the time and essentially we are playing Russian roulette with the ecosystem,” said Ian Davidson, dean of the College of Science and Technology. “Silver and bighead carp are the things we are worried about now. At some point we need to take preventing those introductions are seriously because we are jeopardizing the ecosystem.” w invasive | 2A

After five years and $627,150, the National Science Foundation is ending a grant that enabled students from historically underrepresented groups to engage in undergraduate research.

The Biology Undergraduate Mentoring Program started in September 2009 as a way to increase the number and diversity of students pursuing graduate studies in biological research.

Students selected for BUMP received financial support for two years and were given mentored research opportunities, as well as seminar courses to prepare them for applying to graduate school.

“By getting into a research lab (students) are modeling the behavior and the science (they) want to do down the road,” said Anna Monfils, co-director of the program. “It gives them more academic maturity and molds the direction of those students to get into (a) graduate program.” w bio | 2A

BUMP is just one of several NSF funded research grants at CMU, although Monfils said cuts in federal funding have made the organization more selective with where their money goes.

At least 27 faculty members in the Department of Biology agreed to serve as potential research mentors, and these faculty members were dedicated to both teaching and facilitating research opportunities for 13 students in the five years of the program.

Their assigned mentors were an integral part of the research conducted for two years, working with students 10-12 hours a week during the academic semesters, and 35-40 hours a week for 12 weeks during the summer.

The fish are known to quickly reproduce and compete for food with other native species, which is dangerous because the invasive species have no natural predators and reside deep in the lakes.

According to the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, invasive species can have a significant economic effect on waterfront property values, tourism, utilities and other industries.

One of 200 samples taken from the lower part of the Kalamazoo River tested positive for silver carp eDNA, indicating that an Asian carp may be beginning to enter the Great Lakes.

“On average we have one new invader every eight months, so it’s a matter of what we are doing now before we see huge crashes in the fishery,” said Donald Uzarski, director of the IGLR. These species are introduced in several ways, commonly from cargo ships from the Atlantic Ocean. As they offload cargo in America, they release ballast water containing unique ecosystems that live in their ballast tanks.

These ships release ballast water from the ocean and refill with Great Lakes water, creating a cycle of foreign water being dumped in the basin.

Leadership Safari 2015 hosts informational meeting

Andrea Peck | Senior Reporter Singer/songwriter Chad Lee, known for creating the ‘Larry the Cable Guy’ theme song, performed at the Jerky For Our Troops fundraiser on Saturday in Midland. CDs were given out to people who brought packages of jerky to send to the troops.

Jerky for our troops

Country music singer Chad Lee hosts concert to collect food relief for the U.S. Military

By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Typically taking to the stage to make a difference with his guitar and country twang, Chad Lee had another classic of American culture on his side this weekend: beef jerky.

The country singer/songwriter who has graced the stage with many country and rock greats like Rodney Adkins, Dierks Bentley and Tracy Lawrence, played a two night charity concert in his hometown of Sanford, Michigan over the weekend.

The concert, appropriately called Jerky For Our Troops, was held at the Northern Lanes Lounge.

Those attending were encouraged

to donate a pack of beef jerky that would be included as part of a care package to an American soldier stationed overseas.

“My brother and I came up with the idea,” Lee explained. “We wanted a way to help the troops. We then hooked up with Aaron’s Gifts from Home to take the collection.”

Aaron’s Gifts from Home, based in Midland, provides food, snacks, personal hygiene items and entertainment on a year-round basis to deployed American troops.

Debi Ullom, part of the husband and wife team who founded the non-profit, explained the company aims to send care packages every month to soldiers. Many of

the packages contain canned fruit, cookies, candy and books.

“We originally started the collection because of our son,” she explained. “We wanted to do something in his memory.”

Founders of Aaron’s Gifts from Home Debi and Kevin Ullom’s son Aaron was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2011 saving the life of a Marine.

“We thought of setting up a scholarship or foundation in his honor,” she said. “But he always loved getting care packages from us, so we thought, ‘What better way to honor Aaron than to keep doing that?’”

Kevin Ullom explained that jerky is a staple of the care pack-

ages they send overseas.

“We send them to all troops,” he said. “And jerky is a favorite.”

Those who donated a pack of beef jerky were offered a free CD of Chad Lee’s album “Sidewalks and Trains,” and were also handed a download card for Lee’s album, “Feel.”

Lee said he enjoyed the chance to spend some time in the town where he grew up and play to a crowd for a good cause.

“I moved to Nashville in 1994,” he said. “I try to come back to Sanford every two to three years.”

Through the night, Lee and his band played both original songs and well-loved covers, including original material from his own albums.

Paper Diamond to rock out at Wayside Central

By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

“Devil’s Night,” the night before Halloween, is usually about the eggs, toilet paper and kids going out and messing up neighborhoods.

This year in Mount Pleasant, it’s about electronic music. Festival headliner, Paper Diamond, also known as Alex B, will play the traditionally ghoulish evening at 9 p.m. on Oct. 30 at the Wayside Central.

Advertised as “Mount Pleasant’s biggest Halloween party,” this concert will be for students 18 years old and up and will include an assortment of other DJs and a costume contest with a cash prize.

“I’m really excited to dance to his music again,” said Shelby Township freshman Katrina Marberger. “I like how the show is a costume party too, it makes the atmosphere a lot more interesting.”

This artist has played at festivals internationally and in Michigan at places like Electric Forest, Ultra Music Festival, Electric Daisy Carnival and even TomorrowWorld.

Students are left to wonder why an artist as big as him would be playing a show here at the Wayside.

“I’ve seen Paper Diamond three times,” said North Muskegon freshman Katherine Tyson. “This will be the fourth time and in the smallest venue I’ve heard that he’s performed in. He is a great performer and I’m so excited that I’m going to be so close to him.”

John Hunter, owner of Wayside and other Mount Pleasant restaurants, said he is looking to book more shows and do them more consistently. In the past, acts such as Krewella, 3LAU and Timeflies have performed at Wayside, and sold out, showing demand for more EDM artists. Paper Diamond has had a recent rise at Electric Forest and other festivals, so this will be a show that students won’t want to miss.

Students interested in becoming a guide for Leadership Safari 2015 are urged to attend the first of two informational meetings on Oct. 15 in the Bovee University Center, room 302.

Scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., the meeting will include a presentation, and a question and answer session.

Students will be walked through the application session prior to filling out an application to become a guide or another staff member position in Leadership Safari. It is highly recommended that all applicants, especially first year students, are in attendance.

Students seriously considering applying for a staff position for Safari must closely review the required dates and meetings.

Failure to meet any of the requirements could result in elimination from consideration for the job.

The official dates for Leadership Safari 2015 are Aug. 22-26. Any further questions about the event can be directed to Jennifer Drum at safari@ cmich.edu or by phone at 989774-1548.

O

n Oct. 13 we celebrate the “discovery” of America by Italian explorer Christopher Columbus.

Columbus Day serves as an opportunity to reflect on our long, multicultural history and

explore our great nation’s roots. It also sheds light on a side of that history we do not often discuss.

Indigenous People’s Day, recognized on Columbus Day, celebrates the history of Native Americans.

In partnership with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, Central Michigan University will host a Soup and Substance program titled “Indigenous People’s Day: Truth Behind Columbus” from 12 – 1 p.m. in the University Center.”

We encourage students to attend and participate in a discussion that is especially relevant in our community.

The story of America’s foundation has been written and rewritten several times over. The complete truth about the travels of Columbus is lost to time and translation.

However, we must acknowledge and respect that there are two sides to every story, and by and large, our nation has chooses to focus on the positive.

Curriculums in American schools provide students with a very sanitized image of Columbus and his discovery of the Americas. When detail-

Ignored are the brutal realities of imperialization. Bloodshed tarnishes the image of the man we so desperately want to idolize, the discoverer of our land, Columbus.

and people of color as commodities for their political campaign.

We are not potential donor dollars or votes. We are people whose life and liberty is being stolen by the white men in power.

President Obama said perfectly in one of his speeches for the 2008 election, “Women are not an interest group.” Still, I feel like the interests of women are being commodified, and worse, ignored.

I spoke to State Rep. Kevin Cotter, R - Mount Pleasant, about his vote for laws that would essentially shut down every abortion clinic in Michigan.

The law he voted for in the name of

Genocide and slavery are unfortunate realities of our history. We are happy that they are history and no longer a part of reality. While Oct. 13 commemorates the discovery of our country, the real cause for celebration is recognizing how far we have come as a society since stepping foot on this land.

CMU and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe are two of the main facets of

“protecting women” included regulating how wide a door has to be, how tall the grass must remain, and giving funerals to aborted fetuses, which can cost thousands of dollars.

I asked him how he could vote for such draconian laws that even the highest medical institutions are against.

His answer? To protect women.

In response I asked him about the 50,000 women who die each year from illegal, unsafe abortion and how he plans to ensure Michigan women will not meet the same fate should he once again vote to eliminate the right to terminate a pregnancy.

I could tell he was nervous. But spoken like a true politician, he flat out lied and once again acted as though he is a champion for women’s health.

Over half of Central Michigan University’s campus is made up of women. Half of us will have an unplanned pregnancy in our lifetime. And half of those who do will

The university and casino are key draws to the city, but the entities are more than merely revenue engines for the city.

choose to terminate a pregnancy.

Currently there is no facility that provides abortions in Mount Pleasant. The last abortion clinic in Lansing just closed.

I am fearful for what this means for the students of CMU. I am afraid of a governing body of predominately men who are corroding a woman’s sacred right to choose - a right not only upheld by national law, but natural law.

For many people, abortion is a complicated issue, but as I have said time and time again, the legal right to terminate a pregnancy, and the right to have access to terminate a pregnancy, is not something that should be voted on by a group of elitist men. And it certainly should not be laughed at by our very own state representative, Kevin Cotter.

When your representative laughs at such a serious issue, he laughs at the 50,000 women who die each year from unsafe abortions, and more importantly, he laughs at you.

I don’t know why we still celebrate Columbus Day. Actually, I don’t know why we ever did. You probably know the truth about Christopher Columbus at this point, though most of us were deprived of that history earlier on in our educational careers.

We’re taught that Columbus is a hero. We’re taught that he “sailed the ocean blue” and discovered America. We’re obscured of the reality that Columbus’ “exploration” was a brutal act of imperialism.

By now we understand that people already occupied the land and it doesn’t really make sense to say that Columbus discovered land that people already knew about and lived on.

Columbus Day continues to be a nationally recognized holiday, but the Saginaw Chippewa Indian tribe and Mount Pleasant are recognizing Indigenous People’s Day. Indigenous People’s Day provides an opportunity for people to learn about the history that is often obscured: the history of the people who occupied the land before Columbus “discovered” it.

This acknowledgement of Indigenous People’s Day shows the progress our community is making. Because of the connections between the city and the tribe, Indigenous People’s Day is so important.

However, though Indigenous People’s Day is important in our community, it is also important everywhere else in the country and more cities should start to recognize that.

Instead of simply recognizing Columbus, Central Michigan University will be hosting a Soup and Substance luncheon recognizing Indigenous People’s Day and discussing the truth about Columbus. There will be an information table about what we were taught wrong about Columbus. People will have the opportunity to watch a documentary on campus about how U.S. policies have abused indigenous people.

These events make me proud to be a student at CMU and proud to be part of the Mount Pleasant community.

Holding onto our original perceptions of history would be easy. Believing everything we were told would be effortless. Shrugging and saying, “Well, history is written by the victors,” would be a simple excuse not to open our eyes and dive deeper into our country’s issues. But our community isn’t taking the easy way out and you shouldn’t either.

At one point, Columbus was the victor. And now he has a national holiday. He has countless history books praising him as an explorer and as a hero.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t rewrite that history.

That doesn’t mean that we can’t challenge ourselves to rethink everything we once thought we knew.

Indigenous People’s Day to be recognized by city officials

By Megan Pacer Staff Reporter

Following the lead of several other municipalities in the country, Mount Pleasant is joining a trend that began in the 1990s in Berkeley, Calif. to move away from the traditional celebration of Columbus Day on the second Monday in October.

The celebration of explorer Christopher Columbus was said to be offensive, as genocide against Native Americans was perpetuated during his stay in the Americas.

The Mount Pleasant City Commission will declare Monday as “Indigenous People’s Day” during their meeting in City Hall.

“We’re not looking to replace (Columbus Day), we’re looking to recognize,” said

Mayor Sharon Tilmann.

Tilmann said the city has been working with members of the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe to form a proclamation since April.

“The proclamation is also going to honor the 150 year anniversary of the treaty that created the Tribe,” Tilmann said. “Here and there, there have been different activities that recognized the treaty and the friendship between the Tribe and the city, and 150 years certainly should be recognized.”

In September, Tribal Council passed Resolution 14-152 officially recognizing Indigenous People’s Day on the second Monday of October and urged “the City of Mount Pleasant to officially recognize it as well.”

While cities like Mount

Pleasant are free to recognize Monday as Indigenous People’s Day, Columbus Day will continue to be recognized as a national holiday by the federal government.

“We don’t have the power to do away with a national holiday,” Tilmann said. “But we want to continue finding ways to collaborate and coordinate and move forward.”

City Manager Nancy Ridley said several members of the Tribe, including Chief Steven Pego, will be attending Monday’s meeting. She said a blessing ceremony will take place at around 6:45 p.m. before the meeting is called to order at 7 p.m.

Ridley said the first item of the agenda is the proclamation readying by Tilmann before it is officially presented to the Tribe.

For Meagan Dallape, CMU’s Wildlife Society doesn’t just give her the chance to experience nature and wildlife, it also provides her an educational background through research and volunteer work.

“The Wildlife Society is a student-led organization dedicated to promoting the conservation of our natural resources and wildlife through education, volunteer work and research,” said Dallape, Ortonville senior and the club’s president.

Dallape explained the Wildlife Society does several volunteer projects but is also involved in a wide variety of other activities. Members will soon meet with the Wildlife Recovery Association, a Shepherd based organization that provides services for wildlife and promotes a better understanding of their needs.

“We’re going to go and volunteer (in Shepard),” she said. “We’re also hoping to have them on campus in February for their annual Live Birds of Prey show.”

The group will also offer a bowling fundraiser on Friday, Oct. 24 at Riverwood.

One of the first trips the group takes in the fall is what is known as the “wolf howling” trip. The group travels to a campground in

the Upper Peninsula.

“Once it gets dark, we’ll go out to a field and break into two main groups and we’ll basically howl,” Dallape said. “We’ll make a wolf howling sound.”

Dallape explained that the trip is one of the biggest social events for the group.

Kylie McElrath, Wildlife Society secretary and Traverse City senior, said she would highly recommend this RSO to anyone in the biology or related fields.

“I enjoy being a part of the Wildlife Society because it is a perfect opportunity to connect with students that are in the same or similar programs as me and get involved in volunteer opportunities, as well as adventures such as the Wolf Howling camping trip,” McElrath said.

She explained the Wild-

life Society will also participate in an event called Conclave this year, which will offer educational workshops to participants.

“In April, we will be traveling to Minnesota for the TWS Midwest Student Conclave,” said Wildlife Society vice president and Freeland senior Pete Baskins. “This is where all the clubs from different schools around the Midwest gather for a weekend and do various workshops having to do with wildlife and natural resource topics.”

Baskins said he loves being a part of the group and getting the opportunity to be involved with what he loves.

“The best part of being a member is meeting new people and knowing they have the same passion for wildlife and the outdoors as I do,” he said.

Mierela Klem, a freshman from Spring Lake, disagrees. She’s been a vegetarian since January after gradually cutting out meat since the seventh grade. She checks each station every day for the vegetarian options and tries to switch up her choices everyday.

“They have so many options available for you,” she said.

“The RFoC has those little green signs for vegetarians and every single station has at least one option for vegetarians, which is super awesome.”

Joan Schmidt, the Director of Residence Life, works closely with the Director of Residential Operations, Brenda Margquardt, in making sure the dining halls are properly equipped for vegetarians.

“When students come to us and say their concerns with the meals, they talk with her and they really show them the opportunities they have with the different food groups and how they utilize,” Schmidt said. “It’s much different than it used to be years ago, like hot dogs and hamburgers were your only choices and now there’s such a variety of food that’s available.”

The school celebrated Vegetarian Awareness week by providing games, information and the chance to win a free Fitbit in all dining halls last week.

Jehangin’s biggest concern, however, isn’t the lack of choices- it’s the lack of knowledge that the workers seem to have about the choices.

“A lot of the time the people who make the food at Fresh don’t know if it’s vegetarian, so I’ll go up to them and ask if it’s vegetarian and they’ll say they don’t know,” he said.

o

Awais Jehangin has lost 15 pounds and is feeling the healthiest he’s ever been since moving in to Beddow Hall two months ago.

The Macomb freshman became a vegetarian when he started attending Central Michigan University in August after realizing that he couldn’t eat most of the meat being supplied due to his religion.

“East campus is the least equipped,” Jehangin said.

“Fresh Food Company is awful for vegetarians. Every other dining hall on campus, except for Fresh, has the green sticker that says vegetarian, but Fresh doesn’t.

Merrill has a separate paper saying vegetarian options and that’s really nice.”

Although there are no statistics qualifiable on how many vegetarians attend CMU, a 2014 Public Policy Polling survey found that 13 percent of Americans identify as vegetarian or vegan, an eight percent increase from the year before.

Autumn Brendel, a freshman from Holly, has been a vegetarian for almost four years largely for health reasons. She’s noticed that while they have a large variety of choices for vegetarians, there aren’t “enough healthy choices,” facing her to settle for a salad to escape the only other choices: fries and Mongolian BBQ. “I struggle to find food all the time. Everything has meat in it, and if you want something without meat, you have to wait four to five minutes, but you don’t always have time for that because you have class,” Brendel said.

Brendel finds that the Real Food on Campus is best equipped for vegetarians because of their choices of Morning Star, Boca and Mongolian BBQ. She’s hoping to be provided more healthy choices because “vegetarian’s bodies can only handle healthier foods and salads are not very sufficient after a while.”

“I struggle to find food all the time.

Everything has meat in it, and if you want something without meat, you have to wait four to five minutes, but you don’t always have time for that because you have class.”

Safe Zone training course teaches students about LGBT, inclusiveness

By Andrea Peck Senior Reporter

Everybody deserves the right to feel safe. Every single person. This is the main idea and premise behind Central Michigan University’s Safe Zone training, which aims to educate attendees about ways they can be more inclusive and an ally to the LGBTQ community.

“We have been doing Safe Zone training for five years now, and now have over 1500 safe zones on campus,” said Shannon Jolliff-Dettore, director of the office of LGBTQ services.

During a training session held as a part of Coming Out Week, Jolliff-Dettore passed out papers with many common gender terms on them. She then gave participants the chance to read through the terms and talk about which ones they were unfamiliar with and open a dialogue about what the terms mean.

These terms, with their definitions, included asexual, cisgender, gender identity and transgender. The

main bulk of the program included discussion about micro aggressions, heterosexism, personal experience and ways in which societal institutions innately discriminate against those in the LGBTQ community, as well as the current campus climate for the LGBTQ community.

An emphasis was placed on the importance of having safe zones in the campus environment and real world, and the idea that any and every person can be a safe zone. At the end of the training, those that wished could sign a form stating they aimed to be a safe zone for others and wished to be recognized as a safe zone.

“This program empowers participants and gives them the basic tools and skills to stop micro aggressions from playing out,” Jolliff-Dettore said. “I think it provides them with some important information.”

Jolliff-Dettore explained that the session of training that takes place during Coming Out Week is just one of many that happen.

A variety of people from

different areas of campus always attend.

“We get many different departmental areas at these,” she said. “You never know who will show up.”

Jeff Thigpen, a senior

from Grand Rapids, said he found the session helpful and informative.

“It was definitely educational and applicable to me,” he said. “I’m in education and it’s important for

me to be knowledgeable about issues like this and how I can help people.”

Elizabeth Jenkins, a senior from West Branch, said she found the training to be relevant to all students.

“I thought there was an open and honest discussion,” she said. “I liked that we received the list of all those terms. I just thought it was an open and safe environment.”

Central Neuroscience society to host tours of BRAIN Center

By Alaina Jaster Staff Reporter

As neuroscience becomes a more and more popular degree path for college students, so grows the popularity of the BRAIN Center, or Brain Research and Integrative Neuroscience Center.

Central Michigan University’s award-winning facilities will be toured by the Central Neuroscience Society several times this year for students interested in the neuroscience major.

Members of CNS, a registered student organization, are able to check out what the neuroscience facilities

have to offer them and how the experience of working in a lab can help with their majors. The tours of these facilities are approved in advance to make sure students are not interfering with research.

There are five labs shared by two faculty members each and Microscopy facilities. There is the core facility area for DNA analysis, eight behavioral testing rooms, eight holding rooms where animals are stored, two actual procedure rooms where experiments take place and the waste and storage areas.

“There is a new faculty

member from the neuroscience department that is focusing on Kennedy’s disease,” said Gary Dunbar, director of CMU’s Brain Research. “There is a lot of research being done here, all with applied focus on recovery of functions and neuroscience degenerate diseases.”

The Central Neuroscience Society works closely with the faculty in the labs.

The organization aims to increase student awareness of research opportunities as well as participation in the field, whether it is volunteering or being a part of small events.

“I’m really excited to be a part of the tours CNS is putting on,” said Kalamazoo senior Caden New. “I’m very interested in my major and can’t wait to see how research is conducted and the opportunities that can be found in the lab.”

The neuroscience department is welcoming to undergraduate students, as well. Any student can come up to the labs in the Health Professions Building and pick up an application.

There are many professors and doctors conducting research in these labs and some students don’t even know about them, unless

they ask.

“I started out in the lab right from the beginning of the school year,” said Brunswick junior Mark Jeakle. “I do a lot of basic things right now such as molecular and invivo experimentation. My favorite thing about the lab isn’t the equipment, but it’s the fact the undergraduate students can actually have an opportunity to do research projects. Professors will actually go out of their way to recruite undergraduate students and that’s really special.”

Jeakle started out in the facilities interested in electrochemical pathways,

and his work in the lab really helped him decided on neuroscience.

“The neuroscience major is definitely growing,” Dunbar said. “I can estimate 200 students with this major by the end of the year. We have a very good faculty here and were ranked best undergraduate neuroscience program in the nation by the Society for Neuroscience in 2013.”

The Central Neuroscience Society tour will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 14. Students interested in research opportunities will meet in Brooks 205 at 7pm before heading to the facilities.

Senior running back Thomas Rawls breaks away from the Northern Illinois defense Saturday at Brigham Field in DeKalb, Ill.

Senior running back Rawls leads Chippewas to 34-17 upset victory over MAC powerhouse NIU

Senior running back Thomas Rawls’ 270 rushing yards not only earned the Chippewas a win Saturday, his performace also earned Rawls’ offensive lineman dinner.

“Later on in the fourth quarter with only three minutes (left), one of the offensive lineman told me I had to take them out to eat,” Rawls said. “I told them if we rush for 200 yards as a unit, I’d take them out.”

The Chippewas cruised to a 34-17 victory over Northern Illinois, due largely to Rawls’ record-breaking performance.

His 270 yards on the ground set a new personal best and was the most a

An important upset Teams that want to be the best need to beat the best.

The top dog in the MidAmerican Conference, for as long as most can remember, has been the Huskies of Northern Illinois.

It was a fact: NIU does not lose at home, especially to a MAC team.

Until Saturday.

A newly mentally and physically healthy Central Michigan football team steamrolled into DeKalb, Ill. and took down the four-time MAC West champs.

The Chippewas stunned

Chippewa has rushed for since Robbie Mixon’s 377 rushing yards against Eastern Michigan University in 2002.

For the second consecutive week, he carried the ball 40 times and scored a pair of touchdowns.

“We tried not (to give Rawls 40 carries),” said head Coach Dan Enos. “I just kept saying, ‘when do you want to take him out?’”

On CMU’s first possession against NIU, Rawls capped a 10-play, 86 yard drive, with a five-yard touchdown run.

“It was very important for our momentum,” Enos said.

“You come out and you get punched in the mouth like that, it’s how you respond. It was also very important to give our defense a chance to sit on the sidelines.”

Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

thousands of fans and alumni that descended on NIU’s campus for it’s annual homecoming game.

After three consecutive losses, including a blowout at Toledo, Chippewas fans reached for the panic button.

Two consecutive wins later, things are looking up for a team heading to a very winnable home game against Ball State.

A lot changes over the course of a football season.

The Chippewas are changing quickly before our eyes.

Two weeks ago, an upset

The Chippewa defense kept the Huskies from scoring points on the following seven drives, allowing Rawls to propel CMU to a 21-7 halftime lead.

“They had a couple big plays on the first drive and we (regrouped),” said sophomore defensive back Tony Annese. “The offense went down and scored, so that was helpful. As a defense, we just try to get everybody playing physical, playing hard and that’s what we did the whole game.”

Rush’s third quarter interception opened the possibility of a comeback for the Huskies, but Rawls was responsible for every yard on the ensuing drive before Rush threw a 13-yard touchdown to junior tight

against arguably the best team in the conference seemed impossible.

Expectations were high for CMU entering the season. A downtrodden year for the MAC has produced tremendous opportunities for mid-range teams such as the Chippewas.

CMU’s win over NIU provides hope for the scrappier MAC teams.

The victory showed just how vulnerable the conference is. Midway through the season, the MAC has no undefeated teams and each team has struggled to survive at least one game.

NIU might not be the cream of the cop in the conference anymore, but the Huskies remain the golden standard in the West Division, based on their history alone.

This conference is wide open. And CMU’s chances in

end Ben McCord.

Rawls tallied 189 yards on 24 carries in the second half, chewing up any hopes for a Huskie comeback. CMU led the time of possession battle 39:01 to 20:59 due largely to his efforts.

Rawls’ 870 yards is the seventh most in college football, even after missing two games this season. He has the fourth-most rushing attempts and seventh in rushing touchdowns in the nation.

“The guy’s a competitor, tough, runs very determined, very good vision,” Enos said. “A lot of little things that he does. Those three-yard runs become six and seven-yard runs, that’s a huge difference in calling your game and running your offense.”

it are very much alive.

The win over Purdue nearly a month ago was a statement about CMU’s legitimacy on the national stage.

Saturday’s win over NIU was a declaration of our validity in the conference.

We knew the Huskies would be down this year, but this was not supposed to happen. Not this way. Not to lowly “Central Michigan.”

The Chippewas were picked to finish fourth in the MAC West.

Senior defensive tackle Leterrius Walton predicted the Chippewas would win a MAC Championship.

Looking back, critics did not see this coming.

This is so surprising that I’m not sure Walton did either.

Volleyball drops pair of home matches, falls to basement of MAC standings

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Taking two losses at home this weekend, Central Michigan University’s volleyball team (7-11, 2-4 in MAC) sit in second to last place in the west division after falling to Western Michigan University Friday and Northern Illinois University Saturday.

The Huskies captured momentum quickly Saturday, dominating the first two sets.

With its back against the wall, CMU took a victory in the third set to avoid the sweep at McGuirk Arena.

Junior Angelique White led the way with nine kills.

Freshman Jordan Bueter added five of her own in the loss.

The Huskies regained momentum in the fourth set taking the match 3-1 with strong blocking and stingy defense that kept the CMU attack contained.

“I did not like how we played this match tonight,” said CMU head coach Erik Olson. “It’s been a long time since we have played the way we played tonight. It’s not what I want, we have to do better.”

Olson said the Chippewas should reflect on the quality of the team that handed them their most recent loss.

“NIU showed up and did their thing. I don’t think they did anything special,” he said.

“They’re the hot team in the conference right now.”

White finished the match with 15 kills and Bueter tallied 12 kills and 10 digs. White and Bueter were the only Chippewas with double digit

kills. Freshman setter Kylie Copple totaled 40 assists in the loss.

In Friday’s highly anticipated matchup against rival WMU, the Chippewas the Broncos topped CMU in four sets. It was the fifth straight match that WMU has beaten CMU. “You want to beat West-

ern, but truly, for me it’s just another loss,” Olson said.

Copple said the team is staying positive despite the pair of losses over the weekend.

“If anything, it makes us more driven,” she said.

“We have to get back at it and work on the things that need fixing.”

Now at the bottom of the conference, Olson said that his team needs to play more inspired to get back into the MAC championship picture.

“Our competitive intensity this weekend was just not there,” he said. “Our teams need to be doing that every single day, it can’t be like that.

That comes from the heart of our team which is every person on this team.”

Soccer splits weekend series, still alive in MAC tournament race

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Keeping pace in the Mid American Conference tournament race, the Central Michigan University soccer team split a pair of games this weekend, claiming its first road victory of the season.

The Chippewas earned their first conference points by beating Bowling Green 1-0 in double overtime Friday. The women then fell to the Eastern Michigan 2-0 on Sunday.

“We had a good weekend,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “Our competitiveness throughout the weekend was very good, which is a big positive for us.”

CMU’s offense played a strong match against BGSU outshooting the Falcons 21-15. The Chippewas were unable to score in regulation

due to the solid play of BGSU goalkeeper Lauren Cadel. The Canadian made 10 saves during a 90-minute span to force overtime.

Senior forward Jennifer Gassman scored her first goal in more than a calendar year in the 104th minute to give CMU a victory.

CMU sophomore goalkeeper Heather Laeufer made four saves and preserved the shutout in her second start of the season. Laeufer replaced Maddy Bunnell in net.

“Anytime you can keep them off the board, it increases your opportunities to win,” McGahey said.

CMU got off to a rough start against EMU allowing two first half goals. The Chippewas were able to stay close in the second half while getting outshot 10-8 by the Eagles.

“We created enough

chances and weren’t able to punch one through,” McGahey said. “We conceded two goals that made us chase the match the whole second half.

Unfortunately, we could not punch one through to make the second half a little less of a mountain.”

The Chippewas are currently six points behind Ball State for the final MAC Tournament spot. With five matches remaining in their season, McGahey is not letting his team give up hope just yet.

“I told the team you have to run the race all the way until the end,” he said.

“Though you may have some disappointing moments, you have to keep going until the end. As you can see by the other results, the conference race will not be decided until much later than now. Nothing is final today.”

Of course, you can figure it out on your own.

With a lot to prove this year, Central Michigan University’s women’s basketball team gave fans a sneak peak at this year’s squad during a maroon vs. gold scrimmage on Sunday.

“I was more excited than I thought I would be,” said CMU head coach Sue Guevara. “My hands were already cold. They were game hands and I was pleased to get out and have the kids play in front of their parents and families.”

Guevara said the relaxed atmosphere helped build chemistry during preseason camp, which started last week.

“I thought that we ran the floor decently today,” she said. “We shot the ball pretty well. Especially the three ball.”

Guevara was especially pleased with her senior point guard’s performance Saturday.

“Jessica Green shot the ball well. I thought our freshman came out and did a nice job and it was good to see Bradford back on the floor.”

Senior guard and MidAmerican Conference Player of the Year Crystal Bradford appeared healthy and comfortable in her return to the court. Bradford missed last year’s MAC Championship Tournament due to a knee injury.

“I feel good,” she said.

“When you come back it’s a mental thing. If you just play like you got two regular knees, you’ll be fine.”

Green said she expects the Chippewas to have a better start to the season than last year’s 1-4 beginning.

“I’m definitely looking to have a better nonconference season than last year,” Green said. “We want to put more wins on in nonconference play instead of waiting all of the way until MAC play to try and win.”

With the Chippewas returning five seniors and adding five freshmen, Guevara said she has no major expectations for her squad.

“I think it’s still too early,” she said. “The mission is to get to the NCAA tournament. That’s always been the mission.”

Bradford said as long as the team plays together and with passion, big things are to come this winter.

“I just expect everyone to give it their all,” she said. “We want to give it our all. That’s what we are expecting, and after that, the outcome should be great.”

The women open the season against the University of Massachusetts Sunday, Nov. 16 at 1 p.m. in McGuirk Arena.
