Volleyball Head Coach under investigation for ‘unprofessional behavior toward athletes’

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter @SalsaEvan | sports@cm-life.com

Volleyball Coach Erik Olson was put on paid administrative leave after the Faculty Association received a complaint that he “engaged in unprofessional behavior toward the athletes.”

Olson has been on leave since Oct. 6. After 42 days and the end of the volleyball season, CMU is still conducting its investigation.

A meeting was scheduled between Olson and representatives of Intercollegiate College Athletics, Faculty Personnel Services and the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equality. Because the volleyball coach is considered a faculty member, Olson has the right to have a representative from the union present.

Central Michigan Life requested comment from Olson. He did not respond.

CM Life also contacted Director of Faculty Personnel Services Dennis Armistead. He declined to say if the meeting has taken place or go into further detail about Olson’s situation. Armistead stated in an e-mail, “it would be premature and inappropriate for anyone at CMU or FPS to publicly share details or invite speculation about the process.”

CM Life received Olson’s personnel file through a Freedom of Information Act request. Among the hundreds of pages of documents is his 2014-15 performance review.

The review consisted of comments from Olson and from his supervisor. Olson reported to former CMU Senior Associate Athletics Director Marcy Weston, who retired in March. He now reports to Cristy Freese.

In the review, Olson said, “I believe I am one of the best all-around coaches in the (athletic) department, with a good grasp on all aspects of the athletic departmen(t) and my program.”

He also said he is “the only head coach in the department who personally meets with their (studentathletes) on a regular basis.”

Olson further said he did not see “an increase in performance by support staff.” He added it is a cultural problem in the athletic department and said Athletic Communications and the Training Room continue to be the “biggest weaknesses” of the athletic department.

Weston stated Olson was more “even-keel” last year when engaging marketing, ticket and facility staff. She also mentioned “style differences” between Olson and his male assistant coaches.

Olson responded in the performance review by stating, “I don’t really why this came up as an issue???

This is out of left field. (Assistant Coach) Adam Roll-

man is an assistant without ego and gets the concept of being an assistant.” He also stated he is preparing his assistant coaches for head coaching positions at the Division I level. Former assistant coach Mitch Kallick is now the head coach at Hartford.

Olson also commented on four players who transferred between 2012-14 on June 29. He mentioned an increase in the transfer rate in collegiate volleyball, stating 267 players transferred nationally in Division I in 2013, up from the 95 in 2010.

Melissa Fuchs (Houston Baptist), Jordan Timmer (George Washington) and Andrea Gothard (Michigan State) are three of the four players who have transferred. The Chippewas have added three more players to that list after a trio departed last year’s team with eligibility remaining.

Setter Kylie Copple transferred to Portland State following last season. Libero Kristen Reenders and defensive specialist Nicole Czehowski also departed the program.

CM Life attempted to contact these athletes but they did not respond to requests.

Weston stated in her May 7 comments, “Too many (student-athletes) have left our (volleyball) program, for seemingly valid reasons. Are we recruiting the ‘right’ (student-athlete) for CMU? Coaches have to make that decision.”

Weston also stated, “(Olson) must identify/add the attributes needed to realize success on the court that translates into winning more MAC matches.

While injury and transfers have negatively affected outcomes, introspective analysis must equate to more MAC wins.”

Weston commented that Olson needed to analyze how he manages the program and that the team is moving closer to the middle-third of the MAC, she explained.

“This is the most I have disagreed with Marcy in an evaluation, and I would say it says a lot about how much less she was involved in the last (two) seasons, not much,” Olson responded. “We would have liked to have seen her more involved, so she could understand the multiple situations in play affecting our ability to perform consistently at our top level. I thought she understood, but what is important is that my Athletics Director (Dave Heeke) understands.”

On April 16, 2014, Weston vouched for Olson and his staff in the his 2013 performance evaluation after Heeke said the volleyball staff was “negative” that morning.

Weston stated Olson did not make the 2013 MAC Tournament, in part, because of a setter transferring due to not starting as a freshman. Timmer was a freshman setter on the volleyball team in 2012.

She stated Olson has coached the Chippewas in

the top half of the MAC in six of his first 10 years, and she wanted to extend Olson’s current contract (which expires Dec. 31, 2016) to 2020.

According to his file, in 2009 he conducted an instructional clinic with a prospective student-athlete in attendance, during a dead period, which is against NCAA rules. Olson was not disciplined for the actions. In fact, Olson himself reported the violation to the MAC Office of Compliance.

Although he is accused of unprofessional behavior, his personnel file also includes a positive letter to Olson from a student-athlete in January 2007. She stated she “always felt comfortable coming into (Olson’s) office at any time.” She stated Olson’s “players want to play for (him).” She thanked him for helping her become a better player and person.

“I think you have incredible knowledge about the game, and any player that comes through this program or is coached under you will without a doubt improve tenfold under your instruction,” the player stated.

Olson was hired as head coach in 2004 after serving three seasons as an assistant coach at Miami (Florida).

He compiled a 161-183 record before he was placed on a paid leave of absence. He won the MAC Tournament once, in 2011.

Associate Head Coach Theresa Beeckman and assistant coaches Adam Rollman and Kelly Maxwell collectively coached the team after Oct. 6. The CMU volleyball team ended its season on Saturday with a loss at Ball State, coming one spot short of making the MAC Tournament for the first time since 2012.

North Art Studio cleanup leaves contaminated, contained air ducts

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

After a summer cleanup to remove a building up of metals including lead, copper and mercury found in the North Art Studio, the building is still not contamination-free.

“The cleaning process is technically not 100 percent done yet,” said Director of Laboratory of Field Safety Jennifer Walton. “It started with somebody asking the question about dust and then we did sampling to address the question.”

The cleaning process will be complete once a contaminated air handler is removed, which is set to happen this Friday. There was also some contaminated ductwork that was found and removed. Some will stay in the building, but will be sealed, labeled and contained, Walton said.

“We have removed a lot of ductwork,” Walton said. “A few pieces that remain go through part of the structure. Cleaning involved a wipe-down and review of all items including anything stored on shelves that have dust. Some furniture items have already been replaced.”

The cost of clean up and environmental testing for the North Art Studio as of Nov. 16 was $225,200, said Mary Hill, Associate Vice President and Controller in Financial Services and Reporting.

Most of the cost so far has been for decontamination and subsequent testing to confirm everything has been cleaned properly. However, the cleanup is not complete, so there could be bills that have not been processed yet, Hill said.

Walton said no health concerns have been reported related to the studio contamination, but metals

found during the summer were above Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommended levels.

There is no active use of any lead-based materials in the studio, Walton said, and the cause might be a historic use of problematic materials, nothing active professors would have contributed to.

In the course of the cleanup of the North Art Studio, every space was cleaned, some items were returned to service and some were disposed. CMU repurposed staff offices on the second floor, rooms 201 through 205, where the contamination was most concentrated.

Surface wipe sampling was conducted to verify clean surfaces. The process was successful, Walton said.

During the cleaning process, 144 wipe samples were collected, identifying 10 metals, all of them

exceeding the recommended housekeeping limit except for arsenic. Although they were above the recommended housekeeping limit, there was no evidence of over-exposure.

According to CMU’s website, “In order for a metal to harm you, you need to have intimate contact with it (inhalation, absorption, injection or ingestion), and in a concentration high enough to cause toxicity to the body. Given the air sampling and surface sampling results compiled to date, it is unlikely any harm has occurred.”

Students are encouraged to go to their doctor if they have any concerns.

Although metals can be commonplace in art studios, discussions are underway to prevent future contamination. The main focus is on continuing to not use lead-based materials for art classes.

Paris Study abroad student to stay in Paris after attacks on Paris

By Sydney Smith Managing Editor

@SydneyS_mith | news@cm-life.com

I

n an apartment in Paris, Kelly Miller was having a quiet Friday evening, talking to her roommate after a long day, when her roommate received a text message.

“Are you OK?” the message read.

Miller immediately opened her laptop to find out why her friend was checking in. She learned that just two miles from her apartment, people at a restaurant became victims of one of the most violent terrorist attacks in French history. Miller spent the rest of her night watching a live stream of American news on her computer. She contacted her family to let them know she was safe, but she didn’t feel safe.

“We live on a fairly busy street, but I noticed that the number of cars going by was a lot less than usual,” said the fashion merchandising senior. “Most of the cars going by were taxis. There are usually a lot of people outside my building, but it was very quiet out that night.”

That Friday, reports circulated of a concert venue, restaurant and bar that were bombed by members of the terrorist group ISIS. At least 129 people died. Six different attacks,

including one at a soccer stadium and concert hall were executed.

Back in the U.S., Miller’s sister Allyson was trying on clothes while shopping with her family. When she came out of the dressing room, her family was huddled together outside the store. Miller’s aunt got a notification on her phone that something terrible was happening in Paris.

Fortunately, they heard from Miller right away.

“Thankfully they stayed in that night because they were tired from school,” Allyson said. “Even though she was home, we didn’t know what was going on. There were so many different attacks happening. With her being so close, it was scary. It’s still kind of scary.”

In Mount Pleasant, France native and assistant professor of French Leila Ennaili was keeping up with the France versus Germany soccer game. Her husband had just come home — the two were making dinner when the TV switched to a special report on attacks in Paris.

“He was watching American channels,” Ennaili said. “I was on the computer checking French sources.

We continued to stay tuned to the news until late into the night.”

The world was watching Paris, and an outpouring of support dominated social media. As of Nov.

18, almost 50,000 people are still posting and talking about the attacks. A student-organized vigil was held Sunday at CMU for victims of attacks in Paris, as well as others around the world.

In the days following the attacks, Miller saw a side of a usuallyvibrant Paris she hadn’t seen before, especially while visiting restaurant “Le Petit Cambodge,” the site of the second attack. It was a building she had passed by several times before, but hadn’t gotten the chance to explore.

“I don’t really know how to describe it,” Miller said. “There was a sadness in the air. You could just feel it. Nobody was smiling. I took a moment to visit one restaurant that was attacked. There was a large crowd gathered around, placing flowers and candles on the sidewalk. Some people were crying, some were holding each other, but everybody was silent.”

Around Paris, Miller said, there were military and police officers near the attack sites and metro stations. In a building that houses a student cafeteria, security guards were checking people’s bags for the first time since Miller came to Paris in August.

The story so far Here is a timeline on what has happened so far, as reported by multiple international news outlets.

Friday 9:20-9:32 p.m.

The first explosion goes off outside Stade de France, a soccer stadium. Shortly after, another goes off at restaurant Le Petit Cambodge. Just after that, a second explosion detonates at Stade de France.

9:32-9:40 p.m.

Shots fired into La Bonne Biere, a bar in Paris. A few minutes later, more shots go off at La Belle Equipe bar.

9:40-9:53 p.m.

An explosion from a suicide bomber hits Comptoire Voltaire cafe.

Gunmen open fire inside Bataclan, a Paris concert venue. They begin holding hostages. The men tell police they were retaliating against French airstrikes in Syria and Iraq. Police kill one of the terrorists; another two detonate suicide bombs.

11:55 p.M.

France declares a state of emergency, shuts down its borders and declares a curfew.

12:20 a.m.

French police try to free hostages from Bataclan.

Saturday Islamic State takes responsibility for the attacks.

sunday

French armed forces launch airstrikes on Syria, where the Islamic State is centered.

The White House confirmS the Islamic State is likely the perpetrator of the attacks. French police hunt for a possible eighth suspect.

monday

Investigators announce the name of a Belgian who they believe is the mastermind behind the attacks. Five of the known seven perpetrators are identified. President Barack Obama rules out military ground war against the Islamic State.

Tuesday

Officials hunt for another possible suspect. The French military continues airstrikes in Syria. A soccer match between Germany and the Netherlands is evacuated after a bomb threat.

WEDNESDAY

After a seven-hour standoff, two suspects are killed in a France suburb. Seven others are arrested. All 129 people killed in attacks are identified. French President Francois Hollande says France will continue to take in Syrian refugees.

continued from 7

T he A ft ermat h Some have said these recent attacks are “Paris’ 9/11.” Ennaili sees parallels and differences between both events.

“They’re the same in the sense that it’s symbolic places that have been hit,” she said.

“The reaction of the international community — I feel like the world is with the French today. It’s an emotional time.”

The past few days have been filled with sadness and confusion for Ennaili. In her mind, it’s an international issue of terrorist groups that have worldwide reach. It’s a European issue, because open borders can

allow terrorists in and out. Lastly, she said, it’s a French problem.

“Many of the terrorists were French men,” she said. “With 9/11, the (Twin) Towers were sort of a symbol of America’s economic power. I feel like hitting a concert hall, bars, restaurants — they’re targeting something different. The youth was targeted, and a way of life, it seems.”

The future of France could be in transition with upcoming regional elections, she said. France’s “extreme right-wing party” has been making a lot of progress, and a fearful France population may vote for that type of candidate.

“I’m curious to see how the attacks will

New shuttle bus system implemented to get students home

Program Board spends $8,500 on civil rights speaker Civil rights activist Jasmine Rand was paid $8,500 by Program Board to speak at Central Michigan University.

Rand spoke at Plachta Auditorium on Oct. 13. Rand, along with four members of both the Mount Pleasant Police Department and the Central Michigan University Police Department, covered the topic of civil rights and modern policing.

Her contract called for round-trip airfare.

The university provided hotel and ground transportation to and from Mount Pleasant.

Rand is employed by the law firm which represented the families of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and Trayvon Martin, cases which involved young black boys shot and killed in suspicious circumstances.

A new direct transport system ran for the first time at the beginning of this year, transporting about 15 Central Michigan University students from Chicago and about 15 from Detroit to CMU. CMU students can receive discounted bus tickets to and from Detroit and Chicago. Direct travel is available at the beginning and end of every semester, in addition to 4- winter and Thanksgiving, spring breaks. “A lot of parents were asking the university if there was any transportation for

Tickets are $40 to or from Detroit and $60 to or from Chicago. They must be purchased in two separate orders for round trip, and can be bought through the Compass Coach website: compasscoach.com/cmu. php The price for students is

discounted, Mogdis said, and the rest is picked up by the university.

Mogdis said the direct transportation service is meant for CMU students, but if other students from nearby colleges, like Alma or Mount Pleasant Community College express interest in using the charter bus system and there are empty seats, they will be able to ride on the bus as well.

Finding their place

CMU students mentor at-risk high school students to pursue college education

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

Many years ago, a mother said to her son: “I know what’s wrong with the world. We forgot we belong to each other.”

The son never forgot what she said, even after he managed to escape the streets of Los Angeles and earn his Ph.D. He became a professor at Central Michigan University and started what he said is one of the most important programs the CMU community has never heard of.

Paul Hernandez, former CMU faculty and chief diversity officer at Lansing Community College, began College 101 in fall 2009. College 101 is a program dedicated to encouraging at-risk middle and high school students to pursue college education.

According to the Glossary of Education Reform, at-risk students are defined as students who are considered to have a higher probability of failing academically or dropping out of school.”

Each semester, students from high schools around the state travel to CMU to spend a day with volunteers. For many, this is the first time anyone has talked seriously to them about a college education.

“The entire day is student-driven,” Hernandez said. “I wanted to focus seriously on students who were never on a college path.”

Far from an on-campus tour, College 101 brings students from schools around the state, such as Eaton Rapids, Caesar Chavez

Middle School and East Detroit, to meet student volunteers and talk about opportunities that are available to them in college.

“College isn’t about the buildings, it’s about the people,” he said. “The students, the faculty, everyone you meet; that’s the college experience.”

During each College 101 session, CMU student volunteers and those on the College 101 committee guide high school students — usually sophomores — through a variety of activities to find their untapped passions.

Students explore options at CMU through 101’s Major Fair and discuss pursuing their dreams through other events.

College 101, despite having been in place since 2009, has not been highly publicized and isn’t affiliated with the admissions office. The program has survived through the support of College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences Dean Pam Gates and special events coordinator Rae Barrett.

Hernandez began the program while working as a faculty member for CMU. At the time, he was completely on his own to find the time, space and students to make everything work.

“I was doing it on my own, I’m not traditional that way,” Hernandez said. “I’ve never been a traditional anything. Then (Gates) helped and it became part of the institution. She’s been our biggest supporter.”

The first teacher to take a chance on the program was Eaton Rapids High School social studies faculty Dori Ike. After the first session with College 101

students at Eaton Rapids, Ike was convinced there was something special about College 101.

“Grades and attitudes improved and students began asking college questions,” Ike said. “It’s never too late to change your goals.”

Ike has remained a supporter of the program and students from Eaton Rapids came for another session on Oct. 23. Ike is in her second year of CMU’s Educational Leadership Ph.D program.

Hernandez believes the program is helping students who weren’t given a chance a responsibility, and calls College 101 “transformative” to the

students it serves.

CMU students are the backbone of the program, Hernandez said. He strives to keep students and volunteers the focal points of the program and pushes the spotlight away from himself whenever possible.

The College 101 Committee is comprised of five students who coordinate and oversee day trips, and dozens of student volunteers who work with students throughout the day.

Committee member Maggie Filbrandt attended South Haven, an at-risk school district.

She said she immediately con-

nected with the program.

“If it wasn’t for College 101, I would have transferred. Central should be proud that this experience can only be found here,” Filbrandt said.

Eaton Rapids freshman Casie Card agreed. After spending a day in fall 2012 with Hernandez and CMU students, she decided to enroll after her senior year of high school.

“That a college professor would take a day to talk with us was great,” Card said.

Card is now one of many students beginning her first semester at CMU. She plans to

major in political science and is a member of CMU Rotaract, a Rotary Club parter, and Student Philosophers. She read a poem aloud for the first time at Barnes-Robinson’s Apollo Night and was applauded by her fellow students.

In 2012, Card never would have imagined being a part of CMU. Now, she intends to volunteer for College 101, and will be the first student to have come full circle in the program.

“Don’t be comfortable with where you are, because where you are going is so much better,” she said.

Binge Yan | Staff Photographer From left to right, Tim Vandugean, Kevin Cotter, Mike Van Beek and Lawrence Brunner appear on a panel hosted by Generation Opportunity to talk about Uber’s presence in Mount Pleasant on Tuesday, Nov. 17 in the Charles V. Park Library auditorium.

Cotter, panelists talk about legitimizing ridesharing

By Jordyn Hermani News Editor @h3rmani | news@cm-life.com

A panel hosted by nonprofit grassroots organization Generation Opportunity on Nov. 17 discussed ridesharing companies potentially running taxis out of business in Michigan. At the same time, lobbyists are attempting to run ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft out of the state.

Panelists included Mike Van Beek, director of research at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, Lawrence Brunner, Central Michigan University economics faculty members, Tim VanDongen, an Uber driver and Founder of Ryde Media and Michigan Speaker of the House Kevin Cotter. “(Uber) is a great way to supplement income. I think we need to be open to these opportunities when they come along,” Cotter said. “I gave my full support to these bills when they came through the House. I think it’s something we need to get done.”

In Michigan, it is illegal for ridesharing companies like Uber and Lyft to operate.

“There’s more that we need to do to continue to make Michigan

more attractive. There are so many factors people look at,” Cotter said. “Just this week, we passed a transportation funding package.

That’s something that I think is key because the quality of the roads are just deplorable.”

Van Beek said the reason Uber and Lyft drivers are operating in places like Lansing and Ann Arbor is because drivers went to local municipalities and gained permission to legally operate.

“What the state legislator has done in the House is prevent this very cumbersome burden on ridesharing companies to have to go to each municipalit(y) and get permission is (the House) has created statewide regulations,” Van Beek said. “These (laws) require all (ridesharing) drivers to have good driving records, mandatory vehicle checks, insurance on their vehicles and many other stipulations for the companies.”

VanDongen said many of his coworkers have been stopped by police while driving for Uber and local law enforcement does not know how to regard them.

“The police (in Ann Arbor) don’t know what they’re enforcing because (laws) are so wishywashy,” he said. “Some drivers get

pulled over (and charged) as a taxicab without a license (while) some get pulled over for not having the correct insurance liability levels or the wrong amount of coverage.”

Regulation in the Michigan state House has passed in favor of setting up a ridesharing law such as the one Van Beek is talking about. A series of bills have been sitting in the Michigan state Senate since June, but no action has been taken since.

“The legislation that is in the Senate is particularly bad because it actually has almost all the same regulations that are in the House bills, but with more added on,” Van Beek said. “The ones that have been added on are allowing local municipalities to basically pile on the regulations that they want to.”

Some regulations Van Beek has heard of include forcing Uber drivers to apply for a $35 chauffeur’s license, which require the driver to be at least 16 years of age, have completed driver education and passed a chauffeur license knowledge test.

“Where it stands right now, we’re trying to prevent the bad Senate legislation from going any where,” he said.

Additional Counseling Center staff needed to serve students

A

record-number of students seeking help at the Counseling Center means some will not receive the counseling they need until the spring semester.

Demand for mental health services in the fall semester is at an all-time high and Central Michigan University does not have enough counselors to deal with the influx. The university needs to prioritize spending that has a direct impact on students. Our well-being should be among its highest priorities.

To address the long list of students waiting for the Counseling Center, one part-time counselor was added and another part-time counselor was moved to full-time.

Students do not have to wait to receive emergency counseling participate or support groups, however, there are only nine full-time counselors, two part-time and four student interns who can accommodate the increasing number of students.

This is not enough, and hiring part-time staff is only a temporary solution.

More students are entering college with mental illness diagnoses and psychotropic

medication needs, and more are accessing mental health services on campus, especially in the fall semester. The increased demand for counseling also increases demand for office professionals and support staff to schedule students and coordinate sessions.

In this time of reduced financial support for higher education, counseling services are mistakenly seen as a luxury that campuses cannot afford. CMU has an obligation to provide basic services to support student success. It is the expectation of parents and the community, but more importantly it is the right thing to do.

It would not be difficult to find funds for new full-time positions to be created, especially considering that $37.3 million in subsidies went to

non-revenue generating areas of campus this year.

Full-time counselors at the center are paid between $55,000 and $80,000 before benefits, comparable to an assistant professor or academic advisor. The Athletics Department alone received $2.7 million more in subsidies than last year. This would pay for almost 50 new full-time counselors, assuming they are paid the same salary as the least experienced staff members.

Student mental health services are not only needed to support the psychological well-being of students, they are also an important part of academic success and retention.

A 2013 study conducted by the American College Health Association found that students who reported psychological distress also reported receiving a lower grade on an exam or in their course or experiencing a significant disruption in thesis, dissertation, research or practicum work.

Students with high levels of psychological distress are less academically successful, have more test anxiety, lower academic self‐efficacy and less effective time management and use of study resources. They were also found to be less likely to stay in school when faced with

distraction or difficulty.

Increasing mental health services would benefit retention rates, allowing students to focus on their education instead of dealing with psychological issues. Between 1995 and 2014, 91 percent of first-time freshmen entering CMU in the fall semester continued in the spring, but only 76 percent enrolled a second year at CMU. Students do not return for a number of reasons, but identifying students with depressive symptoms, especially during the first year of college, might decrease their risk of dropping out. If the university wants students to return, especially in the second semester, there needs to be resources to care for their mental health.

This issue is not going to go away. Counseling Center Director Ross Rapaport said the demand for services increased regardless of which direction enrollment trends.

CMU needs to anticipate that this will happen each fall and plan to hire additional staff during a the long stretch of classes before Thanksgiving, where midterm exams and changing weather tends to cause more students to seek mental health resources.

Francois Hollande, France’s president, has said from the night of the attacks that they are an act of terrorism. He’s repeatedly said, “C’est la guerre,”— this is war.

Student sa f et y On the night of the attacks, Miller was in immediate contact with Study Abroad Director Dianne De Salvo.

The two have talked on the phone every day since.

De Salvo said nothing like this has happened during a student’s study abroad trip in the past, but the office takes certain measures to keep stu-

dents safe during unexpected events. All who study abroad are encouraged to register with the State Department’s Marked Traveler Enrollment Program, De Salvo said.

Through this, students get notices and warnings for U.S. citizens in locations around the world. Staff at the study abroad office also checked in with every student studying in Europe. They are all safe.

De Salvo hopes these events won’t discourage students from studying abroad.

“That’s a natural question to ask — should we go to Paris?” she said. “There was no reason to believe Paris would be under attack this semester.”

Students also sign a release before studying abroad, that releases all claims of the university, which essentially says there is risk involved with travel, De Salvo said.

Despite the tragedy, Miller

“I feel very inspired by the way Parisians are determined to not let this change the way they live their day-to-day lives,” she said. “I want to share in that strength with them.”

JUST GETTING STARTED Freshman point guard has already proven herself on the court

By Greg Wickliffe Staff Reporter

Monica Bradburn | Assistant Photo Editor CMU freshman guard Presley Hudson drives to the basket against Indiana State’s Rhagen Smith Nov. 11 at McGuirk Arena

@GregWickliffe10 | sports@cmlife.com

Even when his daughter was in elementary school, Mike Hudson knew Presley would be a special basketball player.

In the fourth grade, Presley Hudson played in the boy’s league with her younger brother, Avery. It was then when the Central Michigan freshman guard began to turn heads.

“She was able to hold her own and make moves against boys that were older, taller and bigger than her,” Mike said. “(To) be able to play against those kinds of kids at such an early level, it was kind of fun to watch, let alone it be your daughter.”

In just two games, Hudson has already done something no other CMU women’s basketball player has accomplished.

After averaging 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in the first week of the season, Hudson became the first CMU player to be named High-Major Madness National Player of the Week, beating out players from seven other conferences including the Atlantic 10 Conference and Mountain West Conference.

The 5-foot-6 guard was also named the MidAmerican Conference West Division Player of the Week.

Hudson’s ability to score at will has helped her lead the Chippewas to a 2-0 record with 97 points per game.

“It’s just a lot of hard work,” Hudson said. “I expected it to be quicker. I always try to expect more, so when I come into a game it can be easier.”

What makes Hudson difficult to defend is her ability to score points in a variety of ways.

Through two games, she is shooting 60 percent from the field, 47 percent from the 3-point line and 75 percent from the free-throw line.

“I can just feel it,” Hudson said. “When it comes off of my hand, I can just feel it going in. When it doesn’t go in, I’m not very happy, but I guess every shot can’t go in.”

Finding a Gem During the summer of Hudson’s junior year, Head Coach Sue Guevara and another coach saw the Wayland native playing during an Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) game. But Hudson wasn’t the player Guevara came to watch.

Hudson’s teammate, Rockford guard Logan McCain was the player Guevara was scouting, but Hudson was the player that caught her eye.

“We go to the court and I’m watching Logan play and I go, ‘That kid (McCain) can really shoot the rock, and she’s a left-hander,’ but I said, ‘Who’s the point guard?’” Guevara said.

“Just watching (Hudson), I go to my staff and say, ‘Who in the hell is that kid down there?’

And they said ‘That’s Presley Hudson.’”

Guevara’s staff was concerned about Hudson’s small stature, but her lack of size didn’t matter to Guevara.

“I said, ‘You guys, we have to get on her, I really like her,’” Guevara said. “They said, ‘We’ll coach what about her size?’ I go, ‘Screw her size, are you kidding me? That kid can play.’”

The more Guevara and her staff watched Hudson perform, the more their interest grew.

“I said, ‘We gotta start watching her, we gotta get in and do a home visit, I really want that kid,’” Guevara said. “And, well, we got her.”

Business as Usua l Hudson’s success throughout the first week of the season hasn’t been by accident. The sharpshooting guard has been known to stand out.

Even before this season started, Hudson made an impact on the floor for the Chippewas. In August, CMU played three exhibition games in Toronto where Hudson averaged 21 points, as the Chippewas went 3-0. w Hudson | 17

A step towar Soccer has foundation built for seasons to come SOCCER

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

A sturdy keel of any boat is the most crucial part to building a great ship.

It’s the bottom-most beam, which the entire ship is constructed around, that gives he ship its structural strength.

Head Soccer Coach Peter McGahey said his 2015 team was just that — a sturdy base for things to come.

“I think you’re going to look back and see this as a foundational year for a lot of positive things to come in the future for this team to go through,” McGahey said.

The youthful Chippewas finished the season 6-10-3, going 5-5-1 in Mid-American Conference play and falling to Buffalo in the first round of the MAC Tournament as the No. 6 seed.

With only nine upperclassmen on the 27 player roster and just two players departing — seniors Kaelyn Korte and Maddie Bunnell, who is not taking her fifth year of eligibility — the Chippewas expect to return an experienced, battle-tested lineup in 2016.

This includes All-MAC Second Team honoree junior forward Eliza Van de Kerkhove and four freshmen All-MAC honorees — defender Mary Carlson, forward Alexis Pelafas, forward Madison Pogarch and goalkeeper Zoie Reed.

McGahey said the team transformed from a largely inexperienced group at the beginning of August, into a “wile old veteran team” before his eyes.

The Chippewas were tested by adversity, considering they won two of their first 10 games of the season, defeating Valparaiso and Youngstown State.

“You’re always trying to find what’s going to be the recipe for this team’s success,” McGahey said.

“I think that’s a place where looking forward to the future, we’re going to have a better handle on those things. They’ll come faster as we continue to matriculate players into the process.”

After the rocky 2-6-2 start, the Chippewas entered conference play coming off a four-game

losing streak, but went on to win or tie six of their remaining 10 regular season games, earning them a trip to the MAC Tournament — McGahey’s second tournament appearance in three years as head coach.

The Chippewas drew the 11-7-3 Buffalo Bulls, who’d previously shut out the Chippewas, 3-0, on Oct. 18 in UB Stadium.

The second game wasn’t as easy for the Bulls, however, as Central Michigan’s Alexis Pelefas scored an equalizer with one second to go in the game to lock the score, 2-2.

It took penalty kicks after a pair of overtimes for the No. 3 Bulls to send the Chippewas into the offseason. One Central Michigan shooter of the four, Korte, would score in penalty kicks.

Before the penalty-kick round began, Reed was replaced with junior goalkeeper Maddy Bunnell, who allowed three penalty kick goals in the loss.

“(Bunnell coming in) had always been the plan,” he said. “If we had gotten that far, then we were going to utilize Maddy’s strengths on penalties to try to take us through the penalty kick shootout. That was by design.”

Freshman forward Adriana Ramon said the season-ending loss hurt not just because the season was over, but because she felt the team was finally hitting its stride.

“I think the best way to describe our season is progression,” said the Dearborn Heights native. “Every day we worked to get a little better and that showed in our games. Anyone could tell that everyone was working hard every single day in practice. The shootout loss was so disappointing because all our hard work showed in that last game.”

rd the future Volleyball learns to adapt in wild 2015 season

By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter @SalsaEvan | sports@cm-life.com

It was a season of uncertainty for the Central Michigan volleyball team.

The Chippewas ended their season on Saturday with a loss at Ball State in five sets. CMU finished with an 11-18 record (6-10 Mid-American Conference) to finish in fifth place in the MAC West and ninth in the conference.

The Chippewas missed out on the MAC Tournament for the third consecutive season, but the team believes it adapted to whatever situation it was in this season.

“They just rolled with it,” said Associate Head Coach Theresa Beeckman. “They just believed.

They had faith in themselves. You could never count them out.”

On Oct. 6, Head Coach Erik Olson was placed on paid leave because of a complaint alleging unprofessional behavior toward athletes. The team was coached collectively by Associate Head Coach Theresa Beeckman and assistant coaches Adam Rollman and Kelly Maxwell for the rest of the season.

“I think when that happened, we were put on a different path,” Beeckman said.

The team returned to the court without its head coach, and won three of its next four matches. Then, injuries took a toll on the team.

Senior middle blocker Angie White was sidelined for six of the team’s final eight matches with a right ankle injury. Sophomore outside hitter Jordan Bueter also sat out two matches on Halloween weekend.

CMU lost both of those matches at home to WMU and NIU. The Chippewas had a chance to clinch a MAC Tournament spot with a victory on the road in either of its last two matches of the season. The Chippewas fell to last-place Toledo in five sets and did the same the next day at Ball State.

A win would have moved up to sixth place, but the resulting loss left CMU’s postseason fate depending on Toledo to defeat EMU. The Eagles beat the Rockets in five sets, ending CMU’s tournament hopes.

The Chippewas lost six of its final seven matches.

“I don’t know if we had enough depth at the right positions to overcome some of those (injuries). We just didn’t have enough experience,” Beeckman said.

CMU featured 11 underclassmen on its roster. The Chippewas were led by Bueter, who led the team with 361 kills.

Freshman libero Jamison Wolffis recorded 505 digs and junior setter Kathia Sanchez served up 1,023 assists.

“They’re extremely talented, good young players,” Beeckman said. “I think the journey we went through this season may be the reason they never miss the tournament again in their careers.”

Despite missing six contests, White led the team with 84 blocks, while fellow senior middle blocker Kalle Mulford added 66.

Senior defensive specialist Haley Barker tallied 140 digs.

The trio played their last season for the program.

The team practiced on Monday despite not having an upcoming match, with Beeckman saying it was a team-decision.

Beeckman was proud of her team for wanting to continue to play and warned of the expectations for next season.

“We have standards,” she said. “We have to make sure that they remain high and you have to make sure that you’re working hard. It’s going to be up to them.”

Field hockey learns from tough season

By Ashley Szymanski Staff Reporter @aszymanski17 | sports@cm-life.com

Central Michigan field hockey concluded its season on a high note with a 4-1 win over Ball State, finishing off seven seniors’ collegiate careers and Head Coach Molly Pelowski’s first year with CMU. The Chippewas finished 2-15 and 2-4 in the Mid-American Conference. Pelowski said her first season as head coach was successful in terms of producing good things on the field and connecting with her players.

“I really enjoyed it, probably enjoyed coaching more than all the other years that I’ve coached,” Pelowski said. “I had a great group of girls, but our record wasn’t what we wanted. Obviously we have a lot of work to do within our program to become champions, but I think now we have a clear path.

Pelowski said the team’s 1-0 double-overtime victory against Missouri State — the team’s first win of the season — was one of the most memorable games this year.

“We didn’t have a single easy game this season,” Pelowski said.

“We had a great overtime win over Missouri State, who was No. 4 in our conference at the time. It’s the inches that count and the inches that need to get better.”

CMU’s four goals in the season finale was the most it’s had since September 2013, and more goals than the team had in its previous eight games combined.

While the seven seniors ended their careers with a win, Pelowski said it was tough for the seniors.

“So many positive things came out of ending the season on a high note,” Pelowski said. “It was a double-edged sword. We were excited that we ended on a win but devastating for the seniors that your season is over.”

The Chippewas were eliminated from making the postseason Oct. 24 in a 5-0 loss to Miami (Ohio). To make it tougher, the MAC Tournament was hosted in Mount Pleasant this season one year after CMU won the MAC regular season title.

getting to play on our turf (in the) postseason and we weren’t among them,” Pelowski said. “Anytime a team wins a conference title, you immediately have a target on your back. Our expectations every year is to win the conference and win the MAC Tournament.”

Coming into the season, the Central Michigan cross country teams were young and unproven, relying mostly on underclassmen. After this year, both teams have reasons to be excited for the future.

The season came to an end when the Chippewas finished 12th in the women’s regional and 15th in the men’s regional.

Teams had to finish in the top two to guarantee a spot at the NCAA Championships.

“I think we’ve definitely made some strides this year,” said Head Coach Matt Kaczor.

“It doesn’t show in the regional placing, but we’re young.”

The Chippewas postseason meets included the MidAmerican Conference Championships (women third, men fourth) before the Great Lakes Regional this season.

The team ran its best race of the season at the Mid-American Conference Championships in Canton, Ohio. The Chippewas had four runners earn All-MAC selections and finished in the top five in both the men’s and women’s races for the second straight year.

Senior runner Nate Ghena (fifth overall) and sophomore runner Kirsten Olling (seventh overall) earned First Team All-MAC honors.

“The MAC meet was kind of a stepping stone this year for both teams,” Kaczor said.

“It rekindled and refocused them and let them know we can be good, it’s just going to take a little bit more work in order to take that next step.”

The women’s team keep the core of their team of Olling, Schubert and freshman Samantha Allmacher, losing only senior Alyssa Dyer from the top group.

“Ghena is probably one of the top ten guys in CMU history. He’s going to be a very tough guy to replace,” Kaczor said.

For the women, Kaczor said the team needs to develop one more high-caliber runner if it wants to compete for a MAC Championship.

“On the women’s side, the question is whether we can develop a fifth runner,” Kaczor said. “We are going to live and die by our fifth. We can be good and we can contend with Eastern (Michigan), Bowling Green and Western next year, but it will depend on how well we can develop.”

As a senior at Wayland Union High School last season, Hudson was runner-up for Miss Basketball in Michigan, leading her team to a 23-2 record and a Class B district title.

During a game in her senior campaign, Hudson scored a school-record 40 points in a win over Mattawan. She is also the all-time leading scorer in Wayland Union girl’s basketball history.

T he Family Way It’s safe to say that basketball is a family tradition in the Hudson household. Presley’s father has been the head coach for Wayland Union’s boy’s basketball team for 23 years.

Presley’s older brother, Wes, was an NAIA All-American shooting guard at Cornerstone, leading his team to a national championship in 2010-2011. “(My father) helped me since I was real little,” Hudson said. “He helped me get better every day through high school, and now I had to take that on my own and get better too.”

Mike said he was pleasantly surprised to see his daughter earn national attention.

“That was just something that was really nice to hear,” he said. “She’s had a great start. I didn’t know that that would be the way it would start, but we’re thankful that it did. It’s a great thing to have happen to her. She’s worked extremely hard. We’re blessed she’s able to do those things, and hopefully she can continue on.”

Seeing two of his kids play basketball at the collegiate level isn’t something Mike has taken for granted.

“It makes a dad proud that they’ve succeeded so well in taking the game that I really enjoy and playing with that much passion,” he said.

First in the gym Guevara said there’s a good reason Hudson is on the streak she’s on, and it’s because of something most people don’t see.

“Her work ethic is why she is where she is right now,” Guevara said. “She is only going to get better because of the people that she practices with.”

Guevara said Hudson shows up for 8 a.m. practices at 6:45 a.m., which is part of the reason she’s earned a starting position.

Not only has she surprised the Chippewa fan base, Hudson has also caught opposing coaches off guard as well.

“I think the other teams are more surprised than I am,” she said. “I see that every day, so it’s just a really nice beginning for her and our team.

Am I surprised? No, I’m not. But I’m happy.”

Moving Forward With just two games under her belt, Hudson’s next task is to continue her high level of play and avoid the freshman wall.

As the expectations continue to rise, Hudson acknowledged there would be pressure to live up to, but she also said she is prepared to meet it head on.

“I guess it is just a little bit,” she said about the pressure. “But I just gotta keep getting better. Last week was last week, and now it’s a new week, and I just gotta keep getting better. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.”

STEPPING IN AND leading the way Beeckman brings different style to volleyball team

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

Throughout all the challenges this season, Associate Head Coach Theresa Beeckman found a way to keep Central Michigan’s volleyball team focused.

Volleyball wasn’t Beeckman’s first love, but the coach her team calls “Tree” had an impact on the game and the players she coached this season.

Beeckman came to CMU after two coaching stints at Delta College and Ferris State. The 5-foot-4 former softball and football player brought a style of compromise and respect to CMU’s volleyball team.

“I try to take an approach that’s more collaborative, especially in response to what we’ve been going through,” Beeckman said. “This isn’t a typical season, so I think we have to do some things that make amends to that.”

Ever since ​Head Coach Erik Olson was placed on paid leave on Oct. 6 for unprofessional behavior toward athletes, the Chippewas looked to the assistant head coach to keep the team afloat.

CMU was 5-7 with Beeckman in charge, missing out on an opportunity to go to the Mid-American Conference Tournament on a tiebreaker. Even though the team failed to qualify for the postseason for the third season in a row, Beeckman found a way to turn a

“I like to relate to players,” she said. “I like to coach through relationships. I’ve had my authoritative sides, but I would say I’m more of a players’ coach.”

difficult situation into a way to inspire the young CMU squad.

“I love seeing players do things they had no idea they were capable of,” Beeckman said. “I love believing in them more than they believe in themselves and seeing that to fruition.”

This wasn’t the first time Beeckman had assume the role of head coach of a volleyball team due to a disciplinary situation.

In 2008, the Bridgeport native served as interim head coach for Ferris State’s volleyball team due to a week-long suspension for Head Coach Tia Brandel-Wilhelm because of inappropriate conduct involving a player.

Although both times Beeckman had to step in and take the lead, she said the two circumstances aren’t comparable.

“Two very different situations,” she said. “One was for a week, and this one has been a lot longer.

Every year that you coach, every experience that you have prepares you for the next day.”

Beeckman made it a priority to be more personal with her players,

gaining their trust and support on the court in return.

“I like to relate to players,” she said. “I like to coach through relationships. I’ve had my authoritative sides, but I would say I’m more of a players’ coach.”

The former softball coach did that by allowing the players to play looser and enjoy the game while providing assistance regardless of the performance on the court.

“Her coaching style is very fun,” said senior defensive specialist Haley Barker. “If you mess up, she’s just going to be like ‘next play,’ and it’s very relaxed, but intense. It’s a good mixture of that.”

Sophomore defensive specialist Courtney Hiltibran said Beeckman was able to keep the team’s level of anxiety down, allowing the players to focus just on the game.

“She’s kept us really calm,” Hiltibran said. “She keeps us in on everything that’s going on. There’s no surprises. She keeps us really comfortable and ready for anything. We can do anything with everything Binge Yan | Staff Photographer that’s thrown at us, she reminds us Association Head Coach Theresa Beeckman celebrates a point during the voleyball game of that every single day.” against Buffalo on Oct. 24 in McGuirk Arena.

CONGRATULATIONS TO COOKIS DANKUS

MEET

COOKIS DANKUS We spoke with Alex, Senior year Captain of Cookis-Dankus Tell us about your team!

We’ve had the same team now for a couple years. I started as a freshman and have been with pretty much the same guys and girls. We’ve been playing together for 4 years, we won the championship the past two years and we’re trying to win our third in a row this year.

So your team must be pretty close?

Yea, most of us lived together in larzeler and then we

played on teams and kept close and we’ve been really good friends with these guys and girls for 4 years now.

What’s the story about this awesome name?

One of the guys who graduated last year, him and his roommate came up with Cookis-Dankus. I don’t think it really means anything. They didn’t tell me if it does, I just assumed it means absolutely nothing.

You’re set to graduate; do you think your friends will carry on the Cookis-Dankus legacy?

Yea, I really hope so. We had a debate this year whether to keep the name Cookis-Dankus and we voted to keep it. I know there are a couple people who are still taking Graduate classes next year, so hopefully they’ll keep the name. I want them to keep it so everyone knows who their playing, change the name and people won’t know who they’re up against.

Anything you’d like to say to the team?

Let’s go out there and win another championship!

At least six bowls open to Mid-American Conference teams

By Taylor DesOrmeau Sports Editor @TDesOrmeau | sports@cm-life.com

The Central Michigan football team entered Wednesday night’s game against Kent State 5-5, one win shy of becoming bowl eligible for the fourth year in a row and eighth time in 10 seasons.

Here are the bowls guaranteed to field a MidAmerican Conference team this winter, along with CMU’s history with each bowl game.

Raycom Media Camellia Bowl Saturday, Dec. 19, 5:30 p.m.

Broadcast: ESPN MAC vs. Sun Belt Cramton Bowl, Montgomery, Alabama The Chippewas played in the Camellia Bowl in 1974, which also was the Division II national championship game. CMU topped Delaware 54-14 en route to its second bowl win of 1974 (the semifinal game was also a bowl game) and second in program history, as well as CMU’s only national title.

The 1974 Camellia Bowl was in Sacramento, California. The bowl’s first season was in 1948 in Lafayette, Louisiana, but wasn’t reinstated until 1961 when it was picked up by Sacramento, which is considered “The Camellia City.”

The last Camellia Bowl in California was in 1980. The bowl was picked up once again in 2014 in Alabama, when Bowling Green beat South Alabama.

Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Tuesday, Dec. 22, 3:30 p.m.

Broadcast: ESPN MAC vs. MWC Albertson’s Stadium, Boise, Idaho CMU has never played in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, played on Boise State’s famous blue turf. The MAC has had a spot in the past six, winning in 2010 and 2011.

The bowl began in 1997 as the Humanitarian Bowl and has also been under the name MPC Computers Bowl. Western Michigan represented the MAC in the bowl game last season, falling to Air Force 38-24.

Boca Raton Bowl Tuesday, Dec. 22, 7 p.m.

Broadcast: ESPN MAC vs. American FAU Stadium, Boca Raton, Florida Just like the 2014 Bahamas Bowl, last year was the first season for the Boca Raton Bowl. The game is played on the campus of Florida Atlantic University.

Northern Illinois, last year’s MAC Champions, lost to Marshall 52-23 in the bowl last season.

San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl Wednesday, Dec. 23, 4:30 p.m.

Broadcast: ESPN MWC vs. MAC Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego, California This year’s matchup was supposed to pit a Mountain West team against Army, but the MAC earns the spot since Army is not bowl eligible. Northern Illinois is the only MAC team to play in the bowl, losing in 2006 and 2013.

The game originated in 1952 as the military services championship game, which continued for four years. The bowl was brought back in 2005, with four of the 10 games including the Navy Midshipmen.

The bowl has featured most valuable offensive and defensive players like Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and Detroit Lions linebacker Kyle Van Noy.

GoDaddy Bowl Wednesday, Dec. 23, 8 p.m.

Broadcast: ESPN MAC vs. Sun Belt Ladd-Peebles Stadium, Mobile, Alabama This season’s GoDaddy Bowl will be the 17th installment of the game and the first before New Year’s since 2005. CMU won the bowl

in 2005 over Troy, back when the game was known as the GMAC Bowl.

The No. 25 Chippewas were led by senior quarterback Dan LeFevour in his final game for CMU to a double-overtime victory. Senior wide receiver Antonio Brown caught 13 passes for 178 yards, as CMU came back from a 12-point fourth-quarter deficit to win its only January football game in program history.

Popeyes Bahamas Bowl

Thursday, Dec. 24, Noon

Broadcast: ESPN C-USA vs. MAC Thomas Robinson Stadium, Nassau, Bahamas CMU starred in the first Popeyes Bahamas Bowl on Christmas Eve of 2014, coming an extra point shy of a 35-point fourth-quarter comeback. Cooper Rush’s seven touchdowns set a college football bowl record, with the final score coming on a 75-yard play that included multiple laterals and ended in wide receiver Titus Davis’ final touchdown as a Chippewa.
