While food items sold at Central Michigan University are safely prepared, other student-favorites in Mount Pleasant received violations during recent county-wide health inspections. Of 13 different food service facilities on campus, only one received a poor mark during the last year of health inspections. The Towers Real Food on Campus cafeteria, received a priority violation in November 2014. The violation was for “potentially hazardous food.” The RFoC prepares garlic butter sauce with fresh garlic in house for its pizza line. Health inspectors found the butter held at room temperature, which is a violation — fresh food products must be temperature controlled. Eleven restaurants around the city received violations within the last year. Some of these violations could have posed health risks. Restaurants cited for violations include Big Apple Bagels, Buffalo Wild Wings, the Subway location on 2nd Street and Riverwood Recreation’s food vendor. In addition, Hunan House, China Garden and Great Wall received violations that inspectors determined could make its patrons ill. Violations at these restaurants range from keeping food in Rubbermaid totes, to improperly thawed meats or items kept longer than their expiration date.

Not all health code violations will make a customer sick, said Scott Jones, environmental health supervisor for the Isabella County Health Department. Health inspectors use a threetiered system to categorize violations. Jones said priority violations pose imminent risks and core violations have little-to-no bearing on patron health. This can include food held at the wrong temperature or storing raw, blood-dripping meats above cooked and ready-touse foods. A priority foundation violation is the middle ground between the two. Priority foundation items usually have to do with equipment, like not having functioning food thermometers or sanitizer strength test strips. A core violation can be something as simple as a dirty floor. The inspections are risk-based, and the frequency of an inspection depends on the menu. Most fast

“If violations occur (during an inspection) and there’s a history of past violations, there’s an administrative process to revoke the license.” Scott Jones, environmental health supervisor for the Isabella County Health Department food restaurants require only annual inspections because much of the food is already cooked, frozen and then reheated, Jones said. This poses far less risk for foodborne illnesses than a restaurant that has a complex menu and prepares raw and cooked foods simultaneously. “If you have place that only serves coffee, there’s an extremely low risk because they handle no hazardous foods besides maybe milk,” Jones said. “If you have say something like an Olive Garden, that’s high-risk based because there are fresh foods along with prepped foods that are cooked and then cooled.” These higher risk restaurants
state must receive inspections at least every six months. “If you’re familiar with the menus, and I’ve been here for 21 years, some of that inspection gets shortened by knowing exactly what the facility does,” Jones said. “We’ll interview the management and go over how they serve, prep, cool and reheat foods. We’ll also review employee health procedures.” The next step in the process is the actual inspection. An inspector will walk through the facility and review the standards set in the interview. Inspectors then offer a report of their findings to the manager. If a violation is found, a follow w health | 2
A 24-year-old student was arrested April 21 for fourthdegree criminal sexual assault. Central Michigan University Police Department officers said the man inappropriately touched the chest of a female staff member after asking to take a selfie photograph with her. The incident took place the night of April 15 in an academic building on campus. The man was arrested at his off-campus residence and bonded out of jail until his upcoming arraignment. The university has restricted him to only enter academic buildings where he is taking courses. Police believe the suspect has committed similar acts on others after interviewing him during their investigation. CMUPD encourages students to call them at (989) 774-3081 if they have been targeted.

Levitt files suit against Morning Sun, others By Ben Solis Staff Reporter
Mount Pleasant attorney Todd Levitt filed a civil lawsuit Thursday against The Morning Sun, Digital First Media, two Central Michigan University professors and attorney Gordon Bloem. Lisa YanickJonaitis, community engagement editor of Todd Levitt The Morning Sun, College of Business professors James Felton and Kenneth Sanney and Bloem are named in the lawsuit. Levitt is accusing the defendants of libel and slander, false light invasion of privacy, intentional interference with business expectancy, infliction of emotional distress and reckless conduct through the published work of The Morning Sun. Levitt is seeking $1 million in damages for each count. Levitt sued CMU senior Zach Felton in June over a Twitter account that parodied Levitt. The civil suit stems from a story published by The Morning Sun on Aug. 8 about the case. Yanick-Jonaitis’ story details statements made in court by Levitt during the a hearing regarding the lawsuit. The lawsuit filed Thursday also references an audio confrontation between Levitt, Felton and Sanney published on The Morning Sun’s website. Isabella County Trial Court Judge Paul Chamberlain dismissed the case in February. Zach Felton is not listed as a defendant in this lawsuit. “We don’t believe (YanickJonaitis) ever contacted Mr. Levitt to verify anything she wrote,” said John Devine, Jr., Levitt’s attorney. “I’m not sure where all her sources were from. She did refer to court documents, but we believe she did that incorrectly, if not w levitt | 2

up inspection is then required as well. If it’s something minor like a core item, the follow up inspection can often take place during the restaurant’s next scheduled inspection date. Any priority or priority foundation item must be followed up on by an inspector 30 days from the date of the violation, Jones said. Inspectors work with restaurants to resolve health issues. “If violations occur (during an inspection) and there’s a history of past violations, there’s an administrative process to revoke the license,” he said. “It all depends on how much someone wants to do. If they want to stay open, they’ll correct their issues.” For a full list of inspection results, visit the Central Michigan District Health Department website.

they alleged harassment and threats on behalf of Levitt. “Most of what we’ve alleged comes from the report that Mr. Sanney and Felton filed, and Mr. Bloem used the file they obtained and filed a grievance against Levitt,” Devine said.

On a
rampage Rampage dance debuts performances, team back with a vengeance By Jacob Kahn Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University’s Rampage Dance Team fired up debuting their first showcase performance Thursday night in Pearce Hall Room 128, turning up the heat with moves their president described as, “energetic and sensuous.” Rampage Dance Team is a growing dance organization at CMU. In December of 2012, the four original founding members broke with another group they felt was restricting them. “We felt like we couldn’t dance and express ourselves the way we wanted,” said junior Markitaa Kleckley, president of Rampage. “We were angry that it went downhill and we couldn’t perform, so we came back with a vengeance. We came back to rampage.” Rampage was introduced Thursday by senior Crystal Bradford, who was recently drafted as the No. 7 pick for the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks. “These girls have been practicing for months and months,” Bradford said. “They know I like to talk, so they asked me to host.” The girls were joined by CMU’s Fish N’ Chips, who opened for the showcase by singing Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me,” and R. Kelly’s “Ignition.” At 7 p.m., Fish N’ Chips is hosting a concert this Saturday in Plachta auditorium. Tickets are $6 at the door. Fish N ‘Chip’s singer, sophomore Jack Colpitts, better known as “Bones”
in the group, said they were glad to accept the invitation to open at Rampage’s event. “They’re coming for our concert this Saturday, and we wanted to come perform with them so we could all showcase our talents,” Colpitts said. Kleckley said Rampage is not structured like the average dance team. “We’re built on sisterhood,” Kleckley said. Kleckley has been the president of Rampage for two semesters, but she is stepping down next year as a senior to coach and allow someone else to be president of Rampage. Kleckles said the group’s performances were going to start off “swaggerful,” and move to full on sensual as the Rampage girls leapt, spun, split and shook in time to fast pumping music. Fans were screaming and cheering out of their seats as the girls danced in a clearly well choreographed but spontaneous performance. “This is a judge free zone,” Bradford announced between sets. “It’s not Apollo, we don’t wanna hear no booing.” CJ The Gifted, or DJ CJ, laid down tracks for performances from Rampage, GVSU’s Rebellion Dance Team, Nicos Phoenix and Cassius Tae. Fish N’ Chips performed a capella. “Our group is about more than dancing and showcasing our talent,” Kleckley said. “We also host an auction with all of the proceeds going to Detroit’s Children’s Hospital and we participate in the MLK Walk.” Detroit freshman Marcus Miller said he was impressed with the performance. “I am a performer here on campus too,” Miller said. “I know the girls so I came out to support their first showcase.”

WWI Exhibit shows sacrifices of CMU students at war By Grant Lefaive Staff Reporter
The “Sacrifice and Service: The World War 1 Experience” exhibit brings the Mount Pleasant community back to a time when Central Michigan University was Central Michigan Normal School, the world was plunged into war. This exhibit is comprised of student-made exhibit pieces that detail different aspects of World War I. This exhibit opened at 4 p.m. in the Bohannon Schoolhouse, located at the corner of Preston and West Campus Drive. Some of these pieces, such as Vice President of The Cultural Resource Management Society Brad Collins’ CMU’s Fallen Sons, pay tribute to fallen soldiers and examine the university’s involvement in the Great War. This project displays a plaque dedicated to six CMU soldiers who died during the war. This was created in 1928 and originally displayed in Warriner Hall. “I thought it would be a cool project, and I knew the info was out there and I really wanted to bring out CMU’s involvement in the war,” Collins said. Other students, such as Mount Pleasant graduate student Haley Quinn, chose a more personal route for their display. Quinn’s display case showed several of her uncle Joseph Garneau’s letters home from Archangelsk, Russia. Garneau served in Company A 339th Infantry in the American North Russia Expeditionary Forces, often called “polar bear” units, that opposed the Red Army during the Russian Revolution in 1918-19.

Quinn found the letters in the Clarke Historical Library, donated by a family member, and examined the censoring process that mail sent home by troops went through. The letters couldn’t be too negative or give away troop positions, Quinn said. If they were, they were censored with a razor or withheld entirely. “I discovered that they’re generally more upbeat more than I thought they would be,” she said. “It’s really funny because the same humor has been in my family for 70 years.”
Other students, such as Marysville graduate student Ethan Reardon, constructed exhibits that focused on more general aspects of the war, such as gas warfare. “I saw the gas mask and I knew I had to do something with it,” Reardon said. He built an alarm bell, which was traditionally sounded when a gas attack began, to accompany the exhibit. This work was a project of temporary instructor Keith Gill’s MST 750: Seminar in Advanced Exhibit Design and Contruction. Students spent the
semester researching World War I-related subjects through CMU resources, primarily the Clarke Historical Library and the Museum of Cultural and Natural History. Oxford junior Kaitlyn Halula attended Thursday to show support for her sister Alyssa, whose project focused on nursing during the war, and learned new things about World War I through the exhibit. “I didn’t really know much about it, so reading the labels and research about it taught me about the war,” Halula said.
Central Michigan University seniors are invited to celebrate their graduation with a send-off they will remember forever. Senior Send Off is a full evening of food and fun that includes visits to all Hunterowned establishments: O’Kelly’s Sports Bar & Grill, Hunter’s Ale House, The Cabin and Wayside Central.

Say no to the Religious Freedom Act TO THE EDITOR: Many individuals have discussed this so called Religious “Freedom” Act so lightly. Most articles regarding the Religious Freedom Act speak so much about the rights of religious organizations that they fail to mention the rights of others.

The difference between this law and the legislation that is already in place is that this policy gives religious organizations the right to

inevitable Student Opinion Survey.
These surveys should be taken seriously by students and faculty. As students, we invest a lot in our education, and we deserve professors who will treat us with respect and give us the instruction we pay for. Faculty members deserve fair and honest evaluations free of bias or grudges. Intended to a be a measuring tool for professor and course efficiency, the SOS form has become a routine, mundane and inaccurate evaluation tool in the Central Michigan University community. The forms are not effective in providing the holistic information needed to determine the success of a professor’s teaching, but they are effective in having an influence on their careers. For this reason especially, the forms are in need of a reconstruction. Student opinion factors heavily into overall professor evaluation.

It’s been a long eight semesters, Central Michigan Life. We’ve been a good match, and I promise you, it’s not you — it’s me. It’s time we finally break up. I’ll never forget the first blind date I was set up on with you. My buddy came to me and said, “Hey! I think I know this awesome place you’d love to work at.” As often happens on blind dates, I was intrigued and persuaded by your sex appeal. After the first date, I thought, “Hey, I could probably commit to this.” I came back for the second date. The third, then the fourth, until you finally needed me to be something more. The honeymoon phase came and went. We both got to know each

I skipped class just to be with you. I might have even failed a class or two because of you. I missed life events — like the birth of my second niece — for you. I’ve spent so much time inside of your walls, some probably think I had an addiction. Because of us, friendships were lost and enemies created. You’ve watched me grow from a hot-headed, uncommunicative pseudo-leader into a helpful mentor and respected leader. Thank you, CM Life, for making sure the transition occurred. We had a break last spring when
her college in a better position for career advancement, while negative reviews can earn that person a talk with her. While student opinion is important, it is not being gathered in a way that captures the effectiveness of the class itself. The questions are very focused on the professor, which allows for students to let things like ethnicity, accent and class size — things a professor cannot control — factor into their answers. The question focus should be shifted away from the person and onto whether the student actually learned something throughout the course to better eliminate the chance for bias. There are three short answer questions at the end of the survey that get closer to asking what students learned. However, students are often given the survey at the beginning or end of a class period and are expected to fill them rather quickly. In 2012, the Student Government Association pushed to get SOS forms
transferred online. This would allow for a greater number of more indepth questions. If the surveys cannot be put online, it would at least be helpful to give them to students outside of class, or to designate a longer amount of time to complete them. Rushed answers will not be accurate or well thought out. Another way to improve the overall SOS process would to initiate smaller evaluations halfway through the semester. These would be an ideal way for professors to gauge how successful their teaching was before the end of the semester. This way, any issues could be addressed before the final opinion surveys, which earn them scores and factor heavily into their overall evaluations. Right now, neither students nor faculty are getting what they deserve out of SOS forms. Any of these changes could make significant improvements to the way professors are evaluated and students are taught.
we both desperately needed time apart. You allowed me to see other people and spend some time working at MLive Media Group while you were going through your own transitional phase. You took me back with open arms when I needed you, and you needed me. This time around, you let me take charge and call the shots. We had a newfound love for each other. I will cherish the memories we’ve made together over the last few months. Over the years I’ve watched you grow and have been instrumental in your growth. I remember when you were a bit wider, and didn’t look as appealing. You even let me give you a complete makeover after you slimmed down. This fall when we’re apart, you’re going to look better than ever in your new and improved form. I’m confident you’ll be fine
without me suggesting what shoes to pair with your outfit. CM Life, it’s time for me to go. It wasn’t easy taking a break from you, but this time it isn’t just a break, it’s a break up. I’ll come back every now and again and read up on what you and your new lover are up to. I’m excited to continue to watch you grow and change. I’m ready for when your next partner reaches out to me asking for some tips on how to deal with you when you’re being a finicky bitch. The truth is, you’re perfect just the way you are. I’ve always been told when you’re comfortable, it’s time for change. This past semester I’ve been the most comfortable I’ve ever been. I think I’m leaving you, and you’re leaving me, better than when we first met. It’s not you, CM Life, it’s me. It’s time for me to make a change.

discriminate. It is such a shame that instead of equality, laws of discrimination are being drafted instead. There has been nothing but progress made for the LGBTQ community, something that our nation should be very proud of. These Religious Freedom Acts that some states are passing and considering are counterproductive and will take us back to a world of discrimination much like the laws of Jim Crow. How is discriminating against someone of a different sexuality at all different from discriminating

If we take a look at other states that have put this law into place we won’t see much other than negative impacts. For instance, Indiana is filled with uproar; businesses are fearful of losing costumers and residents. Signs are hung up all over Indiana that read “This Business Serves to Everyone,” petitioning Governor Pence’s decision. Following the legislation, the NCAA even petitioned to have the Final Four Championship moved out of India-

Steve Rudner, the president of the Equality Texas Foundation, where the bill is being considered, is a father of twins and he holds a concern for his sons. He said, “They’re 16 and one of them came out when he was 11. The idea that if both of my boys were sick, that an EMT would have to pick up one of them but could refuse to pick up the other one is outrageous.” If you have children, it is easy for you to understand the fear this father has of the unfair treatment this law will allow the public to give his son. If Michigan were to adopt this policy it would be an embarrassment. It would give Michigan un-
wanted recognition, and the media would be plastered with petitions and court cases fighting this broad policy. Our state should learn from the mistakes of others, and disregard this act as a whole. Religious organizations are already given freedom to exercise, so we should change our focus of proposed legislation to something more essential. Today, more than half of the United States population supports gay rights, displaying how far the LGBTQ community has come. As Andrew Koppelman said, “The gay rights movement has won. It won’t be stopped by a few exemptions.” LINDSEY DAOUST Freshman Alpena

National Scholarships lost for the first time since 2012 By Emily DeRuiter Staff Reporter
This year was the first time since 2012 that no students from CMU were awarded one of the 10 scholarships universities compete for nation-wide. Six students were nominated by the university for three of the 10 national scholarships available. Living in Korea is a lifechanging experience for Allen Park alumnus Ben Harris, who won a year-long grant from the National Scholarship Program as a graduating senior. The grant Harris received is from the Fulbright program. It is one of 10 nationally competitive scholarship programs available to Central Michigan University students from the National Scholarship Program. Harris lives in Jeongeup, South Korea with a Korean family for almost a year. He teaches English at a boys’ high school and said he misses his family and friends, but is considering staying in South Korea for another year. “The food is delicious, absolutely delicious,” Harris said. “If you could say there is one national food, it’s Kinche. I eat it by the bucket, and Koreans are always like, ‘Wow, you are almost Korean.’” Last year, 15 CMU students were nominated for various scholarships and two students were successfully awarded Fulbright scholarships. Becoming eligible to compete for the scholarships is a multi-step process, said Associate Director of the CMU National Scholarship Program Maureen Harke. “In order to compete, (students) have to be nominated by the university,” Harke said. “In general, the way you secure a nomination is through submitting a pre-application to our office. Then a committee will make a decision about

SAC hosts Intramural floor hockey playoffs By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter
Dearborn Heights senior Eric Kieszkowski has been playing intermural floor hockey for five years. During that time, he has reached Central Michigan University’s IM semifinals three times and the finals once in his junior year with his fraternity Pi Kappa Phi. “I would be willing to break a leg for an IM championship,” he said. Kieszkowski moved one step closer to winning it all when he scored two goals for his team, 50 in ’07, who beat the Grey Team 6-3 to advance to the IM floor hockey semifinals Thursday night. “We kept the puck in their zone a lot,” Kieszkowski said. “That meant we kept getting shots and they were not getting any shots. The game really came down to that.” 50 in ’07 got their name from a parody Twitter account of the professional hockey player Dany
Heatley. “The account always tweets about his 50 goals in the 2007 season,” said Novi junior and 50 in ’07 goalie Zach Mohr said. “We decided to pay a little homage and try to get a championship for him.” The team did their namesake proud by scoring three goals in the opening period with two of those goals coming from Pinckney junior Mitchell Bona. “It’s always good to get a lead early in the playoffs,” Mohr said. “The guys played a lot of good defense today. We scored a bunch of good goals. We just need to keep up that intensity and stay solid on the defensive zone.” The Grey Team responded with a goal at the 7:05 mark, but was unable to stop the 50 in “07 attack. Kieszkowski netted his first goal of the game following a scramble in front of the crease, extending his team’s lead to 4-1. Kieszkowski and Novi junior Alec Lemieux would add a pair of blue line goals

to complete the 50 in ’07 offensive onslaught. “The perimeter puck movement was the best part of our game today,” Mohr said. “They had a really good goalie. It was good we got out to that fast start. I let a couple of weak ones by me, but I won’t do that in our next game.” With the win, 50 in ’07 moved on to play in the semifinals later that night. Kieszkowski was proud of his team’s efforts, but knew that his journey would be ending soon. He hoped it would it would end with a championship. “This is my last chance at a championship,” Kieszkowski said. “I’ve been playing for so long, but this is my last chance. We are just going to go for it all.”

Harris said he competed for one of 80 Fulbright grants to South Korea. Requirements vary individually for each scholarship program. To be a strong applicant, Harris said he had international experience in South Korea on a previous study abroad. He also conducted character research on historic figures from the Mexican Revolution for history Associate Professor Jonathan Truitt. “Ben is very driven, smart (and) he is also a very genuinely nice person,” Truitt said. “He is dedicated to learning for learning’s sake. Harke said the scholarship committee is generally looking for academic individuals that are wellrounded in abilities and can show themselves to be global citizens. “We (CMU) have a lot of students on campus who can be competitive for these awards,” Harke said. “We (the National Scholarship Program) are here to help connect CMU students to some really incredible opportunities not only for professional but for personal growth.”

Fade to black
Closing pitcher Tim Black known by his teammates as more than just the few final outs
By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter
Tim Black had no name for the first week of his life. Since then, the Central Michigan University baseball senior closing pitcher has been called many names including Tim “Fade to Black,” Dart, Big Red and a few others not appropriate for newsprint. He said he has no idea why his parents finally chose Timothy, but the nicknames suit the 6-3, 245-pound righty.
Fade to Black
His majestic red beard isn’t the only selling point for the senior from Mount Hope, Ontario. Black leads the Mid-American Conference with nine saves. Black is 3-1 with a 2.95 ERA and hasn’t allowed a home run in his two seasons with the Chippewas. “That’s what Tim does,” said junior outfielder Logan Regnier. “I really don’t expect anything else every time he goes out there, to be honest with you.” Broadcasters from 91.5 WHMW coined the nickname Tim “Fade to Black,” because the Chippewas go to Black to finish off a victory just like a film fades to black after the final scene. He learned about the nickname on the way to Comerica Park on April 15 and approved, saying “That one’s good to put in the paper.” Throughout high school and his two years at North Iowa Area Community College, Black was a starting pitcher. Since he arrived at CMU for the 2014 season, he has 18 of the team’s 32 saves. Head Coach Steve Jaksa said Black has the mentality it takes to close out victories. “(It takes) a mentality of aggressiveness,” Jaksa said. “Every pitch, he’s aggressive. It’s a good thing. He’s a strike-thrower. When a guy comes in and closes, it’s usually a close game and you really can’t afford to give up just a walk.” While Black said he wouldn’t mind starting again, he said he doesn’t approach the ninth inning any differently than he looks at the first eight innings. “You’ve got to go out and throw strikes,” Black said. “At any point in the game, you’ve got to throw strikes to be a pitcher. I’ve just Monica Bradburn

Team is legit, despite schedule Mark Cavitt
Staff Reporter
You play with the cards you’re dealt. That’s what the Central Michigan University baseball team has been doing this season. Winning has been a common result. The Chippewas sit atop the Mid-American Conference West Division at 12-3. Coming into this weekend’s matchup with Bowling Green State University, the Chippewas combined opponents conference record is 33-42. Those include games against Ohio University, Miami (Ohio), the University at Buffalo, the University of Toledo and Eastern Michigan University. Besides Ohio (22-15, 8-7 MAC) you’re looking at the bottom feeders in the MAC. Toledo’s overall record is bad (15-24), but with a 8-7 record in conference that’s good for third place in the west division. Kent State University (21-16, 9-6 MAC) is tied with Akron University (18-19, 9-6) for first place in the MAC Weat Division. CMU will not play those two in the regular season although a matchup with either one or both is likely down the road in the MAC Tournament. In order to be the best you have to play the best. There is no doubt that right now that the Chippewas are the best team in the conference. They have played the games put before them and have performed at a very high level. Sure, having a shot at KSU or UA would be nice but’s it’s not going to happen until late May in the Tournament. It’s about winning the games you have on the schedule. Win every game you can. That will ultimately set CMU up for success when the postseason arrives. Maybe then the Zips and the Golden Eagles will be waiting for the Chippewas. Until that time comes just win. It’s not easy to win. CMU may make it look easy right now but it’s not easy. Every team is gunning for the Chippewas. Every weekend is a battle. You can’t play everyone especially when KSU and UA are in another division. Just keep winning and everything will fold into place, which most likely will include matchups with the two best teams in the east division. Stop talking about the schedule and talk more about the wins the Chippewas keeps putting up every single weekend.
Pitching staff changing, improving as MAC Tournament approaches By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter
Central Michigan University sophomore pitcher Nick Deeg has been the anchor of the Chippewas’ starting staff this season. Deeg (6-3, 2.89) has been pitching so well this season that Head Coach Steve Jaksa expects consistency each time Deeg takes the mound. He struggled in his last start Friday against the University at Buffalo giving up nine earned runs on 10 hits in only 3.1 innings of work. When the ace of the staff
struggles others have to step in and pick up the slack. Junior pitcher Sean Renzi was a reliever but has found a new role as a Chippewa starter since junior Jason Gamble and freshman Pat Leatherman were injured. Renzi (2-1, 2.27) had never started a game in his career at the start of the season. He won both including his outing on Saturday and against UB throwing six innings giving up just one hit and no runs. By the sixth inning, Renzi had not allowed a hit. w PITCHING | 9

Three things to watch for in Saturday’s spring football game By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter
Though the final score will not matter on Saturday, the Central Michigan University football team is taking its 2015 spring game seriously. Saturday may not be a measurement team of how strong the team will be for the fall, but it will give a glimpse into who will be leading the team during the 2015 campaign. Ohio State University’s spring football game drew 99,391 fans Saturday following their National Championship looking to get a peek at their team and see which players are going to take lead roles for the fall, particularly at their crowded quarterback position. Here are three things to watch for in CMU’s spring football game, which is at 1 p.m. at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. 1. Which running back will stand out? For the first time in three years, there is no quarterback competition heading into the 2015 season. Junior quarterback Cooper Rush will be the one. The running back situation is a different story. While multiple running backs will likely get carries, Saturday may reveal which
back will be most likely to earn the brunt of the carries to replace Thomas Rawls. Senior Saylor Lavallii is the bruiser of the group. He had the second-most carries last season with 84 attempts. The Mason native ran for 298 yards and four touchdowns. Sophomore Devon Spalding may be the biggest competition to Lavallii, after running for 371 yards and four touchdowns in 2014. His speed was on display, as his 51-yard touchdown against Miami (Ohio) was the longest running play of the year for CMU. Junior running back Martez Walker also made a case for himself with strong games against the University of Kansas and Western Kentucky University in the bowl game. There are nine running backs on CMU’s roster, including two freshmen who may also see time Saturday. 2. Will Rush be the clear leader? There’s little doubt Rush will be the starting quarterback after starting all 13 games last season, including his seven touchdown, 493-yard performance in The Bahamas Bowl. The last two seasons, his mistakes could be covered

up with excuses. Like being an underclassman. But now he’s expected to be great. The leader of the offense. To make Chippewa fans feel secure about the fall, Rush needs to clearly outperform junior quarterback Ryan Lamb and redshirt freshman quarterback Zach Oakley. 3. What will Bonamego’s team look like? Saturday will be Head Coach John Bonamego’s first
test on the field. His success won’t be measured in the score, but how smoothly everything else goes. Can the team be disciplined and limit penalties? How will the new offense and defense look? Is there any chance Bonamego keeps the visor tradition alive? Saturday’s game won’t reveal everything about the new-look Chippewas, but it will be the first glimpse fans will get of the next era of CMU football.

Track and field teams head to Pennsylvania By Evan Sasiela Staff Reporter
Last week at Indiana State University, the Central Michigan University track and field teams claimed 11 first-place finishes. Director Mark Guthrie said it was the best meet in his two years with the program. CMU hopes to garner the same praise from its coach as they split up into three separate directions. The Chippewas will head to three different locations this weekend. A “select group” will compete at the Penn Relays at 10 a.m. Thursday and Friday at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pa. Throwers will toss at the Ashland Alumni Open at 11 a.m. Friday
and 10 a.m. Saturday at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. The rest of the team will compete in a Mid-American Conference atmosphere as they will run at the RedHawk Invitational at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. That contest is slated for a 10 a.m. start. “We were going to go to Drake,” Guthrie said. “They couldn’t verify a couple of things that I wanted. We weren’t sure we were going to get into the races we wanted to be in.” Guthrie said the Penn Relays will include some of CMU’s performers in the 5,000-meters, 10,000-meters, 3,000-meter steeplechase and the 4x400-meter relay teams on both sides.
He said the Penn Relays is one of the top track events in the world, as even high schools in Jamaica travel to compete in the over 100-yearold competition. It showcases the top high school, college and world track and field talent over a three-day span. “We could run school records and set PRs and we’re not going to win an event,” Guthrie said. “The meet is just that good. It’s a great meet.” CMU has had solid performances all around thus far this outdoor season, combining for 30 first-place finishes the last two weeks. Guthrie credits his coaching staff for guiding a young roster. “I think the results are coming because a lot of young people are putting in a lot of
hard work,” Guthrie said. “I sent (the coaches) a special note Sunday night where I said as exciting as Friday and Saturday was, if we are going to continue to grow this program and be better, that’s got to become a normal day. “That has to just be what the expectation is. They’ve got to take that next step.” Guthrie said the key to having success in track and field is to have everybody on the same page on the most important day, which is the MAC Outdoor Championships in May. “There’s all these different balls as far as workouts and stresses and all this stuff,” Guthrie said. “The true art of coaching is getting all of those balls lined up so they are where they need to be the
Abbey Kelto
Devene Brown
days that matter the most. To me, when I speak going around the country, that is the art of coaching.” Guthrie is already gearing up for the big event, which is scheduled to take place May 14-16 in Muncie, Ind. He said track is all about beating people on the most important day, and believes his team is going in the right direction. “I’m proud of the progress that we’ve made but we’ve got a long way to go,” Guthrie said. “I’m truly happy from last weekend because I thought they did a great job of
Cole Walderzak
Ziewmowit Dutkiewicz
buying in. They’re starting to figure out and understand it.” For the student athletes who will not qualify for the MAC Outdoor Championships, Guthrie said this weekend will most likely be their last chance to run this season. “We’re just trying to be better,” Guthrie said. “We’re trying to find better marks and trying to be a better person they can be. For a lot of our kids, this will be the last meet. This is a big weekend for several of those reasons.”

Softball to finish road portion of schedule against WMU, NIU By Joe Judd Staff Reporter
Playing on the road is a difficult task for any sports team, whether at the collegiate or professional level. This remains true for Central Michigan University’s softball team, which is set to take on a pair of Mid-American Conference opponents on the road this weekend. The women will play a double header at rival Western Michigan University at 1:05 p.m. Friday and then travel to DeKalb, Ill. to play Northern Illinois University for a single game on Saturday and Sunday. “Right now we’re tied for fourth with Northern (Illinois) and Western (Michigan) is third so you’re going to have movement in the middle of the pack, which is excit-
Rounding third and heading home
including a 7-5 record against teams from within the conference. The Chippewas sit in fourth place in the west division, directly behind the Huskies and Broncos, who are in third and second place in the MAC with records of 23-19 and 18-19 respectively. The Chippewas have had six days off since splitting a double header with Buffalo on Saturday. They were scheduled to play the number fourranked University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday but it was cancelled due to inclement weather. Marking the ninth game cancellation this season, the early Michigan spring has not been kind to CMU. In the most recent case, the weather prevented the Chippewas from having a chance at facing off against one of the
ing,” said Assistant Coach Joanna Lane. “It’s a huge weekend in the MAC in terms of current top-eight teams playing each other.” CMU leads the all-time series against WMU 67-37. Even with the added difficulty and pressure of playing away from Margo Jonker Stadium, it does not seem to have affected CMU. In nine games on the road this season, the women have posted a 7-2 record. “Honestly sometimes it’s easier when you’re away from home,” Lane said. “We are fortunate that we have great support from the community at home games, but it also means there’s a lot of expectations on our studentathletes.” CMU will enter this weekend’s set of games with an overall record of 19-18,
leader CarolAnn Sexauer to injury, things looked bleak for the Chippewas. Then came an eventual turning point in CMU’s season. This came following getting swept at the hands of Ball State University in the team’s first home games of the season. The loss at the hands of the Cardinals, now looking back, can and should be seen as an important turning point for the 2015 CMU Softball team. Since that day, the Chippewas have won 11 of their previous 14 games, including a 7-3 record against opponent. During that stretch they have received clutch hitting from the likes of junior Katelyn Rentschler and friends and dominating pitching efforts from the team’s young staff, anchored by sophomore Rachael Knapp. Despite all of the early season hardships –from all of the weather-imposed cancelations, including the entire
Margo Jonker’s Central Michigan University softball team is now on the final home stretch of its season. There is still a chance for the women to gain some ground in the Mid-American Conference. With nine games remaining in the schedule, the Chippewas have managed to claw their way back above the .500 mark. When the season began back in February, .500 record seemed long at long shot at best. After losing seven of their first nine games as well as senior shortstop and team

Lipscomb Tournament held in Nashville, Tenn., which was supposed to be played on the final two days of February. Even with all of these hiccups along the road, this team has still fought and earned a respectable 19-18 record (7-5 in MAC). Sitting in third place in the MAC west division. Eight of the team’s final nine games will be against MAC opponents with the only exception being a single game at home against Michigan State University on April 29. Resiliency has been a key for them for the better part of the last month. There is no reason why this cannot continue their hot streak with the MAC Tournament less than a month away.

BLACK | continued from 6 stuck to my game plan that we came up with and just roll with it from there.”
Dart
Black throws strikes regardless of the situation, which top off at 91 mph. Wednesday’s Clash at Comerica is Exhibit A. Down 7-2 in the ninth inning, Black entered the game in what’s usually called ‘garbage time.’ He breezed through the inning, not allowing Michigan State University to pick up a hit or a run during the inning for the first time in the game. About 30 minutes later, the Chippewas were celebrating an 8-7 comefrom-behind victory and Tim Black was the winning pitcher.

“The guys kind of nicknamed him Dart,” Jaksa said. “He’s fun to be around, but when he’s between the lines and takes the ball and goes on the mound, he’s all business. Our guys feel like we’re going to win that game when he’s in there.” Senior outfielder Nick Regnier said the team calls Black “Dart” because of his pinpoint accuracy. “I think it’s because he spots up all the time,” Regnier said. “He never really misses his spot. It’s like he’s throwing darts out there.”
Big Red
Black isn’t the only relief pitcher with a prominent beard. Joba Chamberlain from the Detroit Tigers went eight months without shaving last season. His big, bushy beard wasn’t allowed when he was a member of the New York Yankees. Former San Francisco Gi-
Baseball can extend conference lead in weekend series By Taylor DesOrmeau Staff Reporter
Bowling Green State University comes to Mount Pleasant this weekend for a three-game series, but senior outfielder Nick Regnier said he isn’t worried about hosting the opposing teams. “I don’t even know their record to be honest,” Reg-
nier said. “All I know is we keep playing our game, play defense first, the hits will come and keep pitching the way we have, we’ll have a pretty good chance to win.” Regnier was awarded Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week after hitting .500, with seven RBIs and four steals. It was his first week back after missing multiple
ant and current Los Angeles Dodger Brian Wilson’s giant black beard was an icon for the Giants 2010 and 2012 World Series titles. While Black’s big red beard stands out from his teammates’ facial hair, Black called Logan Regnier’s beard the best on the team. While Black trimmed his beard in the fall, he’s keeping it for good luck. “We did it last year and we had a pretty good year, so we thought we’d keep it going.” Nick Regnier, also sporting a beard, said despite it’s annoyance, the facial hair has its advantages on the field. “Maybe it’s an intimidation thing,” Nick said. “It looks better when a bunch of guys come in with beards than a bunch of baby-faced guys.” Whether it’s the 2.95 ERA, his 91 mph darts or the immense red beard, there’s no close shave when Black’s in to close.

weeks with an injury. Bowling Green is 14-21 and 7-8 in the MAC, one game in front of the eighth and final playoff spot. CMU is 27-13 and 12-3 in the MAC, three games ahead of the next best team. “They’re fighting to make sure they stay in a good place to try to get in the conference tournament,” said Head Coach Steve Jaksa. “Obviously we’re fighting for something too. We’ve just got to continue to play well.” The 8-7 Toledo Rockets are the only winning MAC team CMU has faced in the past four weekends. “On paper you see certain things,” Jaksa said. “But un-
til you actually play them, you (don’t) know.” Chippewa pitchers sophomore Nick Deeg, junior Sean Renzi and junior Adam Aldred will be on the mound Friday, Saturday and Sunday respectively for CMU. “Looks like the weather’s going to change to be pretty nice,” Jaksa said. “(We’re excited about) the ‘Hot-corner crazies,’ about 10 or 12 (students on) the third-base line (that will) converse with the third baseman and put the K’s on the board.” Friday’s game starts at 3:05 p.m., Saturday’s at 2:05 p.m. and Sunday’s at 1:05 p.m., all at Theunissen Stadium.
PITCHING |
With pitching performances like his complete game allows the offense to relax and feel more comfortable at the plate. A lineup full of mentally loose batters is music to a pitchers ears. Most often CMU’s pitching success can lead to runs in bunches and CMU helped Aldred out on Sunday by scoring six unanswered runs leading to the series clinching, 6-2 victory. Pitching injuries happen and the season always goes on. The answer to those injuries is how others respond to the opportunity given to show what they can do on the mound.
continued from 6 The numbers that make Renzi even more impressive are his 35 strikeouts in only 31 innings of work. That’s an average of more than one strikeout per inning. Junior pitcher Adam Aldred (3-1, 2.96) has been getting better with each start. Aldred had arguably the best start of the season for any starter on Sunday for CMU. The Woodlands, Texas native threw a complete game giving up two hits and one run.
