At least one student safe in Paris

The lights are dim as the Rose Pool, located inside of the Rose Center, shuts down for the night on Nov. 13.

Pool closure to leave teams treading water

By Kaitlyn Anderson and Isaac Netzly Staff Reporters @Kait_TheGreat23 | @inetz7 | sports@cm-life.com

When the Rose Center pool closes in June 2016, many teams will be left without a place to practice, and the Mount Pleasant community will have one less place to swim.

Due to improper regulations, ​a committee of students, staff and faculty from Central Michigan University decided in September that renovating the pool isn’t worth the potential $4.6 million in construction costs.

The Rose Pool is four feet deep on the sides and eight feet deep in the middle, which makes it difficult for both swimmers and water polo players. Swimmers cannot preform competition starts, while water polo requires a much deeper pool so players cannot touch the floor. The water polo team now practices in the diving well next to the pool at the Rose Center.

The Rose Pool is the practice site for club water polo, club swim and dive and club triathlon.

Along with the three clubs using the pool, it’s also used for the Special Olympics Summer Games, physical education classes, instructional swim programs, lifeguard lessons and other classes.

Aquatics and Safety Assistant Director Darin Masselink said they have a backup plan for the groups once the Rose Pool closes, however the

change will be toughest on the water polo team.

“For water polo, the (Student Activity Center) pool is four feet deep,” Masselink said. “We’ve talked to them already that they will need to find another pool such as Alma or something like that to rent out to continue their practices.”

Whether or not club water polo will continue next year is unknown. The club will weigh the pros and cons with renting out a pool, and see if the time, money and traveling distance is worth keeping the club together.

Accounting major Zach Saganski played water polo in high school for East Kentwood, and is a freshman on the water polo team at CMU. “Honestly, I’m pretty upset about it. The pool is a major part of my life,” Saganski said. “The SAC (pool) cannot fulfill the needs that the Rose Pool can.”

With the closing of the pool potentially ending club water polo at Central Michigan, Saganski said he would like to see the plans be reconsidered.

“I really hope they reconsider upgrading the Rose Pool and keeping it,” he said. “Being a (Mid-American Conference) school and not having a pool to host swim team or water polo events is laughable.”

When the pool closes, the swim team will also have a hard time finding somewhere to practice, with the next best pool being in Midland.

“This pool is good enough for us to use, just because it has water in it,” said swim team captain

Spencer Lebel.

There have been rumors of commuting to Alma College to use their pool for practice, but many of the members of the swim team have admitted the traveling would be too much of a time commitment.

“It’s disappointing to see money going into all these other programs but not money being put into the pool,” said swim team member Tyler Grady. “If we upgraded the facilities we could have a possibility of having a competitive varsity swim team.”

The SAC has been helping out the swim team and trying to give them a place to practice, but its pool 25-yard pool is even further from being an ideal place for teams to practice than the Rose Pool. There are plans to put in backstroke flags, but the pool is still very shallow.

With classes and clubs moving into the SAC pool, it will limit the space for students that want to swim there. However, they will still be able to have the pool open to students, even during practices and lessons, Masselink said.

“During practices, (students) will be able to be in there, just the amount of space available will go down,” he said.

For the swim team, the search continues for a place to practice after June of this year.

“I have no plans of ending the swim team,” Lebel said.

Following the deaths of 129 people killed in attacks in Paris, on Friday, at least one Central Michigan University student is accounted for abroad.

“What I know is we have one student there,” said Steve Smith, director of public relations at CMU. “That person was far from the bombings and is safe.”

Junior Allyson Miller also contacted Central Michigan Life via email. Her sister, Kelly, is studying fashion in Paris and is safe.

The Office of Study Abroad could not be reached before publication, so it is not known how many students are in France.

According to The Associated Press, eight of the attackers are dead in the most violence France has seen since World War II. President Barack Obama gave a statement Nov. 13, saying the incident was an “outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians.”

French President Francois Hollande identified the incident as terrorism and said France would stand firm against acts of violence.

Those who are concerned about anyone overseas can call (888) 407-4747 for information on people accounted for.

Commencement speakers named Central Michigan University fall and August graduates will participate in three ceremonies on Dec. 19.

Enrico Digirolamo, chief financial officer at Convisint Corporation, will speak at the 9 a.m. ceremony. Digirolamo has spent the past 30 years in different financial operations positions at General Motors.

American Studies certificate may be part of new academic bulletin

By Grant LeFaive Staff reporter @Grant_LeFaive | news@cm-life.com

A certificate in American Studies may be available for students in fall 2016.

American Studies is an interdisciplinary field that includes courses from political science, geography, history, english, religion, art, music, anthropology, sociology and inter-departmental courses to give students an in-depth look at America from an academic per-

spective, said College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Associate Dean Tim Hall.

“There was a strong demand (for the program) among international students,” Hall said. “It was designed to be completed within one semester for those students so they can take the certificate with them.”

This certificate will use pre-existing courses in departments throughout CHSBS to give students an easily-attainable certificate and a better understanding of America from multiple perspectives.

According to the proposed bulletin copy, the 15-credit American Studies Certificate is designed for undergraduate students who desire to obtain specific interdisciplinary training in American culture, history and politics.”

American Studies is a fairly common field of study in public universities. English faculty member Ted Troxell majored in American Studies at Michigan State University.

Within MSU’s program, Troxell was able to choose those two fields as his focus from a wide array of options.

“I joke that I specialize in the things you’re not supposed to talk about at dinner. It wasn’t exactly American History, it wasn’t exactly American Literature and not exactly religious studies but it did fit under the umbrella of American Studies.”

Hall said American Studies has been offered at CMU before, but lacked interdisciplinary support.

Department of History Chairperson Mitchell Hall attempted to revive the program, but program prioritization within the last five years prevented the resurgence of American Studies at CMU. That may change in January when the bulletin for the 2016-17 academic year will begin to take shape.

“We decided that there was a great enough demand to proceed so we spent that past several months talking about what the curriculum should look like,” Mitchell Hall said. “The whole point of this is to allow students to get a better understanding of American society and American culture.”

Vaccine research supported through crowdfunding Professor developing treatment for deadly Dengue virus

“The exciting thing is you can use this to target any pathogen on the planet.”

Michael J. Conway, Biology Professor

By Johnathan Hogan Staff Reporter @jr_Hogan1 | news@cm-life.com

Biology Professor Michael J. Conway is attempting to fund his research on the Dengue virus using a method that’s gained popularity in recent years: crowdfunding.

Conway’s research focuses on developing a treatment for Dengue fever, a potentially fatal disease that spreads via mosquito bites.

Conway said securing funding for research from the federal government can be difficult, so he began looking for other methods. He posted his research project on experiment.com, a website that works similarly to Kickstarter, only with an emphasis on research.

Since posting the proposal, Conway has received $1,000 of his $5,000 goal as of Nov. 11.

The page has 11 days left of its 30 period. Conway is hoping the majority of the funding will come in the last few days if his project is featured on the home page of experiment.com The website uses an all-ornothing funding model, meaning that if a proposal doesn’t reach its goal, none of the money goes to the project. Conway said he’s planning to rely on federal grants if his project doesn’t meet its goal.

Conway first came to CMU in 2013 and was given funding by the university to begin his research. That original start-up funding is due to end in six

months and he began applying for federal grants to continue his research.

Maya Tree, a lab research technician at CMU and cosponsor for the experiment. com proposal, began working with Conway on the project a year ago. She does most of the lab work alongside Montague junior Kristopher Kieft.

“(This project) can open up new doors for research,” Kieft said.

Kieft has worked with Conway since his freshmen year, and said he would like to study micro virology as a graduate student.

Conway used to have more students help with research, but reduced the number to

save funds. Tree’s job is paid for by start-up funding provided by CMU, and if the project does not receive more money, her job will be terminated.

Tree said that while the $5,000 experiment.com could provide would not allow her to keep her job, it would free up money for other expenses.

Tree graduated from CMU in

2010, and said she hopes the project received funds so she could continue working in her hometown on the research.

“That’s why we’re doing crowdfunding,” she said. “We feel this research is really important.”

In 2011, researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a molecule called the

Double-stranded RNA Activated Caspase Oligomerizer, or DRACO for short. The molecule would destroy any cell infected with a aathe cell to kill itself.

The molecule was not medically practical because it coulda potentially cause cells infected with benign or harmless viruses to perform apoptosis, harming the host organism. Conway’s research focuses on the development of the Antigenic Determinant Activated Caspase Oligomerizer, or ADACO. The molecule only targets cells infected with a specific virus.

ADACO is made by taking the DRACO molecule and adding an antibody domain that targets dengue virus specifically.

So far, all of the tests with ADACO have been performed in a lab, outside of a living host. The tests have also involved inserting ADACO into cells to create a response from the inside. In order to move to testing the ADACO with mice, Conway needs to adjust the molecule to cause apoptosis from outside the cell.

“The exciting thing is you can use this to target any pathogen on the planet,” Conway said.

He used HIV as an example of a major virus that could be treated.

Counseling Center unable to serve record number of students seeking mental health help

By Kate Carlson News Editor @k8erzz | news@cm-life.com

Counseling Center located in Foust Hall Room 102 cmich.edu/ess/studentaffairs/counselingcenter 989-774-3381

A

s of 5 p.m. on Friday Nov. 13, there are 83 students on the waitlist for individual counseling sessions at the Counseling Center.

This is the longest waitlist the center has ever had, making it a possibility that students not on the list will not receive an individual counseling session for non-emergencies before the semester ends.

“We are in a very unusual circumstance this year,” said Counseling Center Director Ross Rapaport. “This is a very large (waitlist) compared to previous years. We’ve never had this many students on it. We’re not exactly sure what’s going on.”

Demand for mental health services usually peaks around the middle of the semester, Rapaport said, but has started increasing earlier over the past few years. In terms of having the longest waiting list in his 33 years at CMU, Rapaport said there is no single cause.

The Counseling Center emails new students added to the list a document of resources and tips to aid them in managing stress as they wait.

Rapaport said sometimes other resources on campus end up being better-suited to meet a student’s needs, and that there are some helpful things they can do before they get their individual appointment, which are listed in the email.

“Demand for services is not decreasing as enrollment declines. Actually, as enrollment declines, the demand for services is still increasing,” Rapaport said.

With a long stretch of classes with no break until Thanksgiving, midterm exams and changing weather, mental health tends to be at an all time low. This fact is reflected in the waitlists recorded by the Counseling Center over the past few years, which shows significantly more use for fall semesters compared to the spring.

Financial stress and personal issues can lead some students to their breaking point, which may cause them to seek counseling help or be referred by a friend or staff member.

“With the dramatic changes that come with college, and the stress and anxiety that comes with finding a career and balancing so many responsibilities in college such as a social life, work,

school and future career pressures, students are extremely susceptible to mental health issues,” said Valerie Dynda, president of Yellow Ribbon Society Suicide Prevention, a registered student organization that focuses on self-care and how to spot symptoms of depression and suicide.

There are different mental health and counseling options available to CMU students on

campus that vary in cost, accessibility and type of treatment.

Rapaport said to address the long waitlist, he added one part-time counselor for 16 hours a week, and made one part-time counselor full-time. A second part-time counselor hired resigned after two weeks. Her last day was, Nov. 13.

“Requests have been made to hire more full-

time staff. Whether or not they will be granted, that’s not my decision,” Rapaport said. “It’s like any place you try to get an additional position; you have to work your way up in the system to do that.

I think there is some support, but I don’t know what kind of change we will see.”

The Counseling Center runs on a budget overseen by Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Tony Voisin, that is a part of the general fund.

For the 2015-2016 academic year, $810,537 was budgeted for the Counseling Center.

“I have resources here that are exactly for that purpose. There are needs that pop up throughout the year that are un-budgeted, and that’s why I have (reserve funds) that I can utilize that for,” Voisin said.

The reserve funds are not listed on CMU’s operating budget. While the office doesn’t make money, Voisin explained, sometimes money is accrued. He gave the example of when a longtime staff member retires, they are sometimes replaced with someone who has less experience and will get paid less, but the salary of the person who retired is still in the budget, making them receive a surplus in funds that can be used for other, un-budgeted expenses. He said he could not disclose the amount of money that could be used for un-budgeted expenses because it is fluid.

Rapaport said he estimated the cost of hiring another full time counselor at the center would be about $60,000 to $80,000 with benefits, increasing with professional experience.

Voisin said funding the center was not a problem, and if money was needed to hire more staff it would not be an issue.

“That’s my job, to give the directors who report to me the resources they need to effectively man-

the fact that it’s OK to ask for help.

“I see students posting anonymously (on social media) extremely often, saying they feel alone, stressed, depressed, suicidal or some combination of these,” she said. “Mental health awareness definitely needs to be raised so that it is something people can comfortably talk about and accept in society, not as a character flaw, but as an actual health issue. These students should not have to hide behind a screen to admit that they are facing these problems.”

McGlasson said the level of care the free center provides would cost around $100 an hour if they charged patients.

“We’re in a symbiotic relationship with our clients, they come here knowing they’re working with young trainees, qualified and under my supervision, but they also have to consent to being recorded and observed because that’s part of the training process,” McGlasson said.

“In turn, they get free counseling services. It’s a neat partnership.”

age their job,” Voisin said.

There is a new full-time counselor being hired in December to replace one who will be leaving.

Other than that, the focus is to hire temporary staff to fulfill the immediate need.

Coordinator of the Counselor Education Program Terry McGlasson said the greater level of awareness for mental health resources needs to be reflected in budget appropriations in all colleges.

“Universities in general are going to have to realize that more budget and resources are going to have to be allocated for more mental health care,” McGlasson said.

Dynda agreed with the need for colleges to increase the funding of mental health resources on campus.

“The university needs to look at investing more in the Counseling Center as a whole,” the Dearborn Heights sophomore said. “They should have a larger number of staff, longer hours, just have more options overall.”

McGlasson said in terms of addressing retention at CMU, increasing mental health services is an obvious answer.

“You can hardly make a better argument for retention than mental health services,” he said.

“If you really want to pound on retention and get students coming back year after year, you want to make sure you have the resources to care for students’ mental health and psychological needs.

Students are not going to (seek counseling) on their own, off-campus.”

The Center for Community Counseling and Development, coordinated by McGlasson, is also experiencing a waitlist, fluctuating from five to 10 people.

“Even though we see a variety of issues and diagnosis, I screen pretty carefully so we don’t take any urgent or acute situations,” McGlasson said.

“We tend to stay away from that because we don’t want to overwhelm our trainees.”

To deal with less acute mental health issues, McGlasson said the center was an especially good option for students and community members that are not financially stable or lack health insurance.

McGlasson said the growing need for services showed students are more aware of what is available.

“The demand is there nonetheless, and we are not meeting the demand right now because we have too many people waiting to be seen,” he said.

“Our center is a little different. We are one of the only (clinics) in the metropolitan area that offers free mental health services, so we have people driving from as far away as Big Rapids right now just to come here.”

One reason Voisin gave for the increased demand for mental health services is the increase of awareness of resources available.

Dynda thinks that more can be done to raise awareness of resources available on campus and

Students offer advice to combat stress

By Deshia Dunn Staff Reporter @Daedae_Dunn | news@cm-life.com

Southfield sophomore Shannon Stoudemire said she knows to focus on herself when she begins to experience high anxiety, a loss in interests and a depletion of her overall happiness.

Being a student can take a toll on physical, mental and emotional wellbeing — especially when combined with balancing extra-curricular activities, work and a social life. Students feel especially burned out after mid-term exams.

“I would advise others to trust their guts,” Stoudemire said. “If they feel like they’re taking on too much at once,

said one of the most important things students can do to keep a clear mind is to have a healthy outlet. Otherwise, it is common to form unhealthy habits when dealing with stress.

Physical health is equally important to mental and emotional health. Corbat explained that physical changes in the body can be signals of how stress is affecting it.

Corbat said overexertion is an obvious sign of stress. He gave the example of overeating due to stress, or obsessively working out. The formation of these type of habits give students a sense of control that is unhealthy.

“When residents come to me for help, one of the first things I ask is if they feel like they have control over their life,” Corbat said. “If the answer is no, more than likely they’re forming bad habits that will only solve their problems temporarily.”

No matter how people cope with problems, in order to gain control, it is most important to target the principle problem. Corbat said this can be the hardest thing to do.

Health sciences professor Thomas Kozal talked about his experience with students who take poor care of themselves.

“I’ve seen the results of students not being able to function because they’re sleep deprived,” Kozal said. “They can’t even comprehend simple tasks because their brains are so fried.”

He recalled his time at CMU as a senior in the undergraduate program, when he juggled being a resident assistant, worked two jobs, played club volleyball, committed to a fraternity, was a member of the executive board of his reg-

istered student organizations, and took 22 credit hours a semester.

“Halfway through the year I asked my parents for a therapist,” Kozal said. “The first thing the therapist said was that I have way too much on my plate, so I ended up cutting back hours in my organizations and work, and focused on what I needed to be successful.”

Kozal noted how important it is to go enjoy things for your own emotional health.

“If you don’t take the time out for yourself when you’re stressed, worrying is just gonna kill you,” he said.

Miya Shaw, a resident assistant in Robinson Hall, said time management is important to manage stress levels.

“My planner is basically my life and I use it to schedule all these responsibilities including free time for myself,” Shaw said.

She said having a routine schedule, especially for waking up and going to sleep at the same time every day can be useful.

Kozal said ultimately, the most important thing you can do is focus on the things you have the ability to control, and push aside the things you cannot.

student concerns are valid A

fter a week that featured on-campus demonstrations and the first meeting of a task force between students, city officials, law enforcement and Mount Pleasant residents, the generational gap in this college town began to show its depth.

While about vastly different topics, these events ignited passionate debates between students who feel their voices are not being heard and residents who don’t think students’ concerns are valid. Whether it is about the rising price of education, the role of university administrators in dealing with racism or student behavior in neighborhoods north of campus, the new generation of leaders is clashing with the one in power.

There is a concerning double standard present, that while students are old enough to know what is appropriate behavior, they are too young to have their opinions respected, especially their political views. We can’t be both “accountable adults” and “naive kids” in the minds of our neighbors.

Our generation has been called “whiny millennial crybabies,” instead of engaged and civic-minded. You might recall when Generation X was similarly declared to be a group of apathetic, coddled and entitled slackers. Now they are perpetuating the cycle.

A productive channel of communication was

We will no longer be young — and therefore no longer scary — and today’s tired rhetoric about our entitlement and narcissism will go away.

If real change is to happen — in Mount Pleasant and the University of Missouri — students need to get educated and get involved, but residents need to listen to their points of view.

Paris’ recovery will be long and painful I don’t think any particular lead will ever be able to describe the chaotic feelings that are rising in the city of Paris, my hometown.

It will need and years to fully explain and understand what happened there.

Paris, France, is again a victim of terrorist attacks, again soaked with the blood of the innocent. According to the government, more than 120 people died and around 350 were wounded, not to mention thousands that are still shocked.

I remember when the Charlie Hebdo Attack hit my ideals as a journalist, as a writer and

That’s terribly ironic to see how Paris has been always the center Gabe of religious acts and Porrometo beliefs, both in good Staff reporter and bad sides. For centuries, Catholics, Protestants, Atheists and Positivists fought all over the country to as an artist; I shouted and impose their doctrines; some wrote for the sake of freedom history students would reof speech.

People were posting mesParis doesn’t need only sages on social media outlets prayers, but understanding Twitter and Instagram with from the world. All this carthe hashtag #PrayforParis.

nage won’t wash away; it will probably be remembered as one of the worst attacks of the last half century.

ISIS claimed the recent attack, but the terrorists were French citizens. The terrible reality of the main French cities is that there are still many ghettos scattered all around their outskirts.

Ethnicities still have difficulties to integrating in the French community for different reasons: complete isolation due to bad public transports networks, failure in organizing cultural and integrative events, little attention given by the government and

a low standard of living.

The consequence is that many young people identify themselves no more as French citizens, but as loyal members of their culture, ethnicity and, eventually, religion.

This is a terrible drama of incommunicability between cultures and people; probably similar to the racial and gender issues occurring here in America.

And it will be useless now going to war with other countries killing more and more, because everybody knows the real victims of this game of exterminations are civilians, us. We must understand it for

Education is the answer to solving conflict In January, I wrote my first and only column responding to the terrorist attack on French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo, which claimed the lives of 12 satirists and five others in the Ile-de-France region.

I’m extremely saddened to be writing another.

Saddened not only for the abnormally large and unnecessary loss of life around the world, Friday, but because the past week has shown tensions between races and religions have only grown more severe since the Charlie Hebdo shooting.

In Paris alone, 129 lives were brutally ended and an additional 352 were injured in terrorist attacks at six different locations throughout the city, which were claimed

by Daesh (The Islamic State—I do not recognize the legitimacy of the caliphate of the self-proclaimed “Islamic State in Syria.”)

We have to rethink how we approach racial and religious tolerance and begin to actually make concrete changes in America and around the world to curb institutional racism, discrimination and prejudice.

Beginning with how we educate youth about the historic facts of how the world got to the place it’s at now — understanding how we came to have the racial and religious issues we have today.

We need to teach younger generations to reject the prejudices of their parents and those before us and instill tolerance and understanding by teaching the history behind exactly why minority races feel “othered” by the white Western world.

For example, radical Muslims don’t hate the West and infidels because the Muslim world is full of blood-thirsty savages.

There are historic reasons dating back to the First Crusade in 1096, which began

what radicalized Muslims believe is the West’s attack on the “Ummah,” or collective community of Muslims worldwide.

Understanding that secularism has not removed religious influence on the public sphere in areas of the Middle East and the Muslim world is crucial to understanding why radicalized Muslims are so willing to die for their religion in a way unlike any other religion, today.

Just as Catholicism struggled to assimilate and find acceptance in America in the mid-19th century, Islam as a religion is also struggling to assimilate to the norms of the Western world.

We have to educate ourselves, teach ourselves why, and use our knowledge to remain tolerant and not generalize entire races and religions in times like these.

Right action is better than knowledge; but in order to do what is right, we must know what is right.

a better change.

The recovery of Paris, my hometown, will be long and painful. I think this will be similar to the distressed recovery process that New York had to face after Sept. 11. I remember when I was a kid I was watching the Twin Towers falling and disappearing in a huge black cloud on TV. I was distant and careless. I actually wanted to see my cartoons.

Now, I can understand each victim. Each anguished American, each suffering African, each tormented Syrian, each suffering South American.

My fingers are still shaking.

Another resource staffed by graduate students, primarily from the clinical psychology program, is the Psychological Training and Consultation Center, directed

by Amanda Lopez. They are the only clinic on campus that can perform psychiatric assessments.

“We’ve been getting a lot more referrals for assessments this fall,” Lopez said. “The therapy cases we’ve been getting from the Counseling Center are usually from the waiting list that can’t wait any longer.”

The Psychological Training and Consultation Center has no waiting list.

“If (someone) needs the services, we won’t tell them that it needs to end or refer out. They keep coming in,” Lopez said.

Graduate student counselors are psychology students working toward independent practice, so they have a little more training than other resources on campus.

Every fall, five new students are accepted into the clinical program, and start working in the center their second year.

“We do get quite a few referrals from pediatrician offices,

The clinics refer patients to each other as needed, and have started to collaborate more this year than in the past, Lopez said.

Winless weekend ends season for volleyball In minutes, team falls from potential No. 6 seed to missing out on the MAC Tournament

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter @GregWickliffe10 | sports@cm-life.com

After losing both matches on the weekend, Central Michigan’s volleyball team still had a chance for a postseason berth. For a few minutes, at least.

Following its five set loss to Ball State on Saturday, CMU needed Toledo to defeat Eastern Michigan in order for the Chippewas to clinch the eighth and final spot in the Mid-American Conference Tournament.

Going into the weekend, CMU only needed to win one of the two games — or have EMU lose one of its two games — to advance to the tournament. A loss to Toledo on Friday put the Chippewas in a tough position on Saturday.

“I thought we played tight and I thought they learned from that loss,” said Assistant Head Coach Theresa Beeckman about the UT game. “We were just making really crazy errors.”

In ironic fashion, CMU was cheering for a team that had just defeated the Chippewas in five sets the day before.

Both games went into the fifth set. As CMU trailed BSU 9-5, EMU took a 9-5 lead over Toledo. The Chippewas would close the deficit to 11-10 before dropping the set 15-10.

Their tournament hopes vanished as the Chippewas watched Eastern Michigan defeat Toledo in five sets via the live stats website.

“We lost the match and we went in the locker room together and saw that happen,” Beeckman

said. “That was very emotional.”

In the locker room, the Chippewas were chanting “UT, UT,” every time the Rockets would score a point. Emotions were up and down as both EMU and UT traded points, eventually going into extra play in the fifth set Unfortunately for the Chippewas, the Rockets would fall to Eastern 17-15 in the fifth set. Just like that, CMU’s season was over.

“It was extremely loud (in the locker room), and then extremely disappointing and then extremely loud,” Beeckman said. “Then, (EMU) came and got those last two points, and then the emotions let loose. It was one of the most emotional things I’ve been a part of in my career.”

Even though it wasn’t enough, and the Chippewas fell

short of their goal, Beckman said she pleased with the effort her team put forth.

“You could never count this team out,” she said. “That’s a character thing. That’s how it was all season. It didn’t matter what kind of injuries we had, it didn’t matter what else was going on, they just weren’t going to be done. That’s something they can take home and turn to for the rest of their lives, and that’s pretty cool.”

Seniors Angie White, Kalle Mulford and Hayley Barker all saw their careers as Chippewas come to an end as well.

White and Mulford were both nursing injuries heading into the weekend. White finished her last weekend with 16 kills, and Mulford added 13. Barker recorded 24 digs.

“I’d be remissed if I didn’t mention the seniors,” Beeckman said. “They sure gave their all every single day.”

CMU’s sophomores Jordan Bueter, Taylor Robertson and Jessica Meichtry all had double digit kills in both matches over the weekend.

“The majority of our roster is really young,” Beeckman said.

“But they didn’t play like they were sophomores and freshmen, they got to that next year. They were like juniors and sophomores, and that was the most exciting thing to me.”

Throughout all the challenges the Chippewas faced this season, an emotional Beeckman said they met each one with resilience and unselfishness.

“They’re pretty good people,” she said. “There’s something to

be said for embracing adversity.

That speaks to their character.

You look to all the young talent we had, and how much they were willing to sacrifice and give up what they might have wanted for the benefit of the team regardless of the circumstances.”

After the Chippewas took their fate and understood what it meant, the message from Beeckman was clear.

“I told them after we found out our destiny, ‘There’s not always good that falls into your lap from everything, you have to find out what that good is,’ and we’ll find out,” Beeckman said. “We don’t know right know, but we’ll figure it out.

Rest assured, there’s good that comes out of everything. Once we look back on the season, we’ll find all of them.”

Nate the Great Former 7-foot-1 Chippewa center passes away from cancer, leaves legacy

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter @GregWickliffe10 | sports@cm-life.com

N

ate Huffman’s passion for the game of basketball was displayed by the NBA logo tattooed on his arm.

Although the former Central Michigan basketball player passed away Thursday, Oct. 15 from cancer, Huffman fulfilled his lifelong dream by playing professional basketball in the NBA and overseas.

Aside from his career on the court, Huffman was a man that loved music and conversations beyond sports.

“We all had a passion for music,” said Travis Huffman, Nate’s older brother. “He loved Pearl Jam. They were number one. He saw them probably 20 to 25 times (in concert).”

Travis said off the court, Nate was one of the funniest people he ever knew. “(Nate) had a sense of humor that was one of a kind,” he said.

“I just didn’t know where it

He was loyal like you wouldn’t believe. If you were in with Nate, you were in 100 percent. At the drop of a hat he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.

Josh Loye, Friend of Huffman

Huffman was diagnosed with stage IV bladder cancer on Sept.

29. The Lakeview native’s battle came to an end at the age of 40.

“When (Nate) called me (having cancer), it was just a state of shock,” said Huffman’s best friend of 23 years, Josh Loye. “You don’t ever want or anticipate having a phone call like that especially at our age. To be honest it’s still not completely real for me.”

Huffman leaves behind his wife Michelle Huffman, and son Christian.

“He was really down to earth,” Michelle said. “He didn’t brag about his career at all. He was very loving and kind. He was someone I could confide in, and he would comfort me. I will miss him tremendously.”

would come from — it was just so off the wall. He was a genius with some of the stuff he would come up with.”

Huffman’s basketball career took off around his sophomore year of high school. It was when he grew to be 7-foot-1 that people noticed Nate’s potential.

Nate and Travis would play basketball with their father on Monday nights along with men in their 50s, and even though Nate was young, Travis said he was still dominant.

“Nate was able to dribble and shoot from the outside. Nobody would let you do that when you were that tall,” Travis said. “He was able to do those things when we played with all of those guys my dad’s age. That’s where he honed

in on his skills that made him better than most, and let him play at the next level.”

Before playing center for the Chippewas, Huffman began his collegiate career at Lansing Community College in 1994.

Huffman transferred to CMU in 1996 where he became the first 7-foot player in school history, earning Mid-American Conference first team honors for his allaround play.

The Los Angeles Clippers signed Huffman as a free-agent out of college, but cut him before the season started. That didn’t stop his drive to play the game he loved, as he started his professional career in the Continental Basketball Association for the Idaho Stampede.

His journey to find a way back to the NBA continued overseas, where he played in various professional leagues.

He became known as “Nate the Great” for his outstanding play with Maccabi Tel Aviv, a team in the Israel Premiere League.

From 1999-2002, Huffman became a star and was named Most Valuable Player of the IPL, as well as the FIBA SuproLeague. He was also voted the best American player in Europe.

Huffman finally found a home in the NBA in 2002 when he signed with the Toronto Raptors. The summer prior to Nate’s debut with the Raptors, Huffman and Loye lived in Los Angeles as Huffman trained for the upcoming season.

During that time, Huffman would work out twice a day once in the morning with a personal trainer, and once at

night in the gym perfecting his craft. Loye said because of his work ethic, Huffman was able to live out his dream.

“I know how hard he worked,” Loye said. “So I wasn’t surprised. If you’d had asked me in 1992, I would have said ‘no way,’ but that’s just because we didn’t know.

But by the time I saw him in 2000 to 2002, I knew he was

going to be (in the NBA).”

Due to a severe knee injury, Huffman only played in seven games with Toronto.

His dream however, was still accomplished.

“I was his biggest fan in my opinion,” Travis said. “I got to see him play in the pros, and what an incredible feeling to see your own brother play at that kind of level. I was proud of him. All the time I got to see him play I was just extremely happy.”

Even though he couldn’t play again, Huffman still wanted to give back. In 2005, he and fellow retired player Constantin Popa founded a basketball camp for children in order to give them a chance to reach their dreams just like Huffman had.

“He had a huge heart,” Loye said. “He was loyal like you wouldn’t believe. If you were in with Nate, you were in 100 percent. At the drop of a hat he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.”

A GoFundMe account was created to help Huffman as he fought against cancer. The account is still active, now raising money to support his wife and son. The account has raised more than $7,800 as of Sunday.

“It was a heartwarming thing that was very helpful,” Michelle said. “It was just a blessing to not have to be stressed out about things.”

Two days before Huffman passed away, Travis, with the help of others, was able to get Nate inducted into the Lakev-

iew High School Hall of Fame.

“I brought the plaque that would hang in the school and a personal one he got to hold onto and showed it to him,” Travis said. “He understood what it was. That was probably the last thing I said besides ‘I love you.’”

Huffman’s family has continued to receive support through social media. Following his passing, his former team Tel Aviv wore black ribbons in support of him. The team also held a brief ceremony during the day of Huffman’s funeral Thursday, Oct 22.

The team wrote on Twitter, “The Maccabi Tel Aviv Basketball Club deeply grieves the passing of Nate Huffman, one of the club’s greatest players and a wonderful person.”

Chippewas can clinch bowl eligibility CMU heads to Kent State in search of first win against Golden Flashes since 2007

By Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter @DomMastrangelo1 | sports@cm-life.com

Despite dropping from the Mid-American Conference title race last week, members of the Central Michigan football team claim they still have plenty to play for.

The Chippewas (5-5, 4-2 in MAC) can earn bowl game eligibility for a fourth consecutive season with a victory in either of their final two games of the regular season.

The first of these is Wednesday’s showdown with MAC East foe Kent State.

The Golden Flashes are 3-7 this season and are coming off a 27-0 loss to Ohio. It will be CMU’s first game against the Golden Flashes since a 24-21 loss at KSU on Nov. 4, 2011.

in the MAC. The Chippewas are 2-0 against MAC East teams this season and have won 11 consecutive games against the other side of the conference.

“Knowing that we are basically out of it for the MAC Championship is hard,” said CMU Head Coach John Bonamego. “I have a lot of respect for (KSU Head Coach) Paul (Haynes). We were together in Jacksonville. I think a lot of him personally and professionally. I expect them to come out and play as hard as they possibly can and I expect our guys to do the same.”

Bonamego’s team is coming off a 28-23 loss to MAC West rival Toledo — one of the toughest of the season thus far.

“(In practice, the players) were still hurting a little bit,” Bonamego said. “We’ve got to put it behind us and move forward. We can’t let one loss turn into two. We can’t get

that one back.”

Junior quarterback Cooper Rush, who threw for 349 yards and two touchdowns against the Rockets, said last week’s loss came down to the “little things,” after he and his teammates reviewed game film.

“Untimely penalties hurt us on a couple of drives,” Rush said. “It just comes down to execution. A throw here, block here…it’s always like that.

We’ve got to eliminate those.”

The script needs to get flipped against a KSU team that has little more than pride to play for now that they are mathematically eliminated from the chance to make a bowl game.

“It’s their last home game. They have a good defense. We’ve got to be ready. We’ve still got a lot to play for.”

“We are going to get their best shot,” Rush said. “It’s their last home game. They have a good defense. We’ve got to be ready. We’ve still got a lot to play for.”

The Golden Flashes rank last in third-down conversions and first downs in the conference. Senior defensive end Blake Serpa said containing the run will be CMU’s chief priority Wednesday.

“We could still go 7-5 as a

team,” Serpa said. “We’ve got to force them to be one-dimensional. If we take the run away like we know we should, I think it’ll be a rough game for them.”

But preparing for KSU should not look any different than normal, Bonamego said.

“The standard of your play and your preparation should never change,” he said. w football | 17

“They’ve been really good defensively. They are playing a redshirt freshman quarterback.

There have been times when he has looked really good.”

First-year passer George Ballas has completed 58 percent of his passes and thrown for 643 yards in 10 games.

“We gave up a couple of big plays (against Toledo),” Bonamego said. “We never want to give up one-play drives.

CMU in good hands with Davis Like the netting being snipped away from the orange iron during the ides of March, Keno Davis has become a symbol of success for the Central Michigan men’s basketball program.

The Chippewas’ fourth-year head coach has taken CMU’s team and turned its previously lackluster reputation on its head. McGuirk Arena is now one of the toughest gymnasiums to play in across the Mid-American Conference and its home team carries unprecedented expectations this season.

Davis and his coaching staff have earned this moment — one they are expected to shine during.

Three seasons ago, failing seemed to be the only thing CMU men’s basketball was known for.

Davis had to endure the pain that comes with rebuilding from the bootstraps on the recruiting and advertising fronts.

He won just seven MAC games during his first two seasons.

McGuirk Arena continued to go largely empty and Mount Pleasant was a virtual basketball wasteland.

Each offseason, Davis would travel across the state and country, trying to find his way into the

Dominick Mastrangelo Staff Reporter

living rooms of recruits he knew he would be lucky to get. He was trying to out-sell coaches like Tom Izzo, who had realistic title aspirations with decades of successful basketball culture as ammunition.

All Davis had was his word and a whole lot of hope.

He solicited under-appreciated role players on other teams at smaller schools, gauging their interest in winning a conference title at a little mid major up north.

He reminded these hidden gems that at CMU, playing time would be increased, and thus, the chance of getting noticed by NBA scouts would go up as well.

And there was a major sell job to do at home,as well.

After Ernie Zeigler was fired in the spring of 2012, students, alumni and most importantly donors had a rancid taste in their mouths regarding CMU basket-

Central Michigan vs. Monmouth Central Michigan at MIchigan St. Central Michigan vs. Northern ILL. Central Michigan vs. Buffalo

ball. Somehow, the mediocre 6-6 football team that year felt like it had more upside.

With the help of the Athletics Department’s marketing team, Davis gave away free pizza, preached transparency with the media and promised his program was worth paying attention to.

A few of those highly-sought after recruits took a chance on Davis. His best player stayed healthy enough to earn MAC Player of the Year runner up honors last season.

Suddenly the hashtag #PackMcGuirk circulated through Twitter feeds at lightspeed.

Basketball is back in Mount Pleasant, and Davis’ mission is nearly complete.

Raising a MAC Championship banner and earning a trip to the NCAA Tournament is the next and most important item on Davis’ list — something that has not been accomplished here since 2003.

When that day comes, and it will, Davis won’t take much time to sit back and enjoy the moment. He’s worked too hard to rest on his laurels.

No. Davis can clearly recall what it is like to be at the bottom of the heap and have everyone doubt your potential.

And soon, he will know just how rewarding building a winner from the ground up can be.

season is done, the guys and girls teams get together and we have a Thanksgiving dinner,” Ghena said. “During the winter, we have a secret Santa exchange and we do night runs where we will run around the city and look at all the holiday lights.”

It’s those traditions and sense of family and camaraderie that helps to attract new recruits, like freshman runner Luke Anderson.

“I came here mainly because I felt it was a really good fit, after coming for a visit,” Anderson said. “It had the feeling of home. It felt like I was in my backyard even though I live three hours away.”

There is a certain bond formed in the crucible of training shared by cross country runners. Hard work, determination and family are the main tenets that make up the Central Michigan cross country team.

Certain bonds are formed between players of other sports, but cross country runners say theirs is different.

“We’re a little obsessive. We are constantly hanging out,” said senior runner Nate Ghena.

“Since I’ve been here, (everyone has become best friends).”

Head Coach Matt Kaczor said the bond and friendship is obvious between his runners.

“It’s a family community and I’ve got a great group of kids,” Kaczor said. “They do everything together, it’s almost nerdy.

They study together, they eat together. After every workout they all go to the Merrill Hall dining commons together.”

Team traditions are a big part of building this family community.

cross country team who they are during races and training.

“I think it’s great coming into a program where we all push each other because we are all very close,” said freshman runner Samantha Allmacher. “It’s great to come in (everyday) and have somebody who can push you. We hold each other accountable and we all lead by example.”

Just like running in a pack during a meet, Schubert said teammates sticking together during training can help encourage each other to do better than they would by themselves.

“I think it makes training a lot easier not to give up or slack,” she said. “We keep each other going and we meet up and do double runs outside of practice when we run even more miles.”

This team doesn’t just run and train together, they consider themselves family.

“The guys and girls are so close, it’s just a great atmosphere to be in,” Allmacher said. “I don’t mind waking up super early in the morning because I know I get to be with my friends and go on a run.”

Any road game in the MidAmerican Conference is a challenge, especially in midweek games. As long as CMU comes out determined and focused and not lackadaisical, the Chippewas will avenge last Tuesday’s loss to Toledo.

CMU should roll against one of the worst teams in the MAC and clinch a fourth consecutive year of bowl game eligibility. Cooper Rush throws five touchdowns.

It shouldn’t take long for CMU to pull away this week. However, crazier things have happened. The Chippewas better come out with a sense of urgency, or it might be closer than people think. In the end, CMU’s passing game will be too much.

This game will get out of hand in a heartbeat. Kent State is at a low-point with its football program and we will see just how abysmal they can be on Wednesday night.

I said a week ago that CMU would lose to Toledo and would be its last loss of the season. I stand by that statement. The Chippewas lost by five to a Rocket team that was in the Top 25 team in the College Football Playoff one week earlier. Kent State lost to Illinois by 49. This won’t be close.

Fountain honors childhood friend and teammate

By Andrew Surma Staff Reporter @Andrew_Surma | sports@cm-life.com

Seven high school football players died nationwide from in-game injuries during the fall 2015 season, which still is not over in Michigan.

The effects of the most recent death, Chicago Bogan High School senior Andre Smith, are being felt all the way in Mount Pleasant. His official cause of death was “blunt force head injuries due to a football accident.”

Chicago native redshirt freshman linebacker Malik Fountain learned Oct. 23, the day before the Chippewas traveled to Muncie to play Ball State, his childhood friend had died earlier that morning.

Fountain and Smith played pee-wee football together 10 years ago in Chicago and built a

“I took it hard at first,” Fountain said. “I know I just got to

fight for him and play this sport, because I know he would want me to keep going.”

Fountain honored his late friend during Central Michigan’s 23-21 victory at Ball State, writing “RIP Dre” and “Long Live Andre Smith” on his forearm tape. Fountain had four tackles.

“It’s more of an honor than anything to have someone like that on my back, helping me, giving me motivation to grind harder every day,” Fountain said.

Football Head Coach John Bonamego said he encouraged Fountain to stay as focused as he could and the team would support him in every way.

“I think he internalized a lot of

that stuff,” Bonamego said. “He’s a pretty tough-minded kid. He has a pretty good circle of friends here on the team.”

Fountain said his best memories of Smith are remembering who he was on the football field during their Rich Central days, playing for Head Coach Terrell Alexander. “(Smith) was always animated.

He was always the one that was running around,” Fountain said.

“He was just a silly person, man.

Doing routes and taking it all the way to the house, doing dances in practice. He was just a happy person.”

Fountain said Smith planned to walk on at Western Illinois in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
