Program keeps distancing itself from U-M

In the minutes separating the end of Saturday’s game and the start of the press conference, it was interesting to speculate what MSU coaches and players would say when they took the podium.

News Brief MSU donor dies at 99 Former Michigan State College, now MSU, alumna and Wharton Center founding member, Betty Price, died Oct. 20 at her home in Milwaukee.

Price, 99, of Saginaw, Mich., graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from MSU in 1935.

Upon realizing her true calling as a seller of fine jewelry, unique gifts and materials at Liebermann’s Department Store, her legacy as a retailer and philanthropist will live on, friends said.

Donating half of the profits from jewelry sales to the Wharton Center, the MSU College of Music and other projects, Price’s influence can be seen most heavily at the Wharton, where the Betty Price Endowment was created.

Longtime friend and Liebermann’s customer Barbara Cooley mentioned Price’s personality as she reflected on the positive relationship she had with her.

Cooley also described Price’s mind as an encyclopedia of sorts, developing similarly close -knit relationships with people around the world.

“There are probably hundreds of people that would tell you that they were friends with Betty, and that’s just the kind of woman she was,” Cooley said.

In memoriam, the Price family asks that any donations be sent to Wharton, where a memorial service will take place.

A time and date for the memorial service has not yet been announced.

Bullough, Spartans say they have bigger goals in mind for the rest of the season after huge victory over U-M Wolverines from page one

hitting linebackers came in the game with the Wolverines, as the No. 18 Spartans physically punished Michigan quarterback Devin Gardner all afternoon, totaling seven sacks and holding U-M to -48 yards rushing in a 29-6 win at Spartan Stadium.

The win marks the largest margin of victory for an MSU team against U-M since 1967, and the defense held Michigan to the fewest rushing yards in a single game in the history of the program.

Contributing two sacks in the game, senior linebacker Denicos Allen said the defense felt the tension of the Michigan offense each possession and big play.

“We definitely felt the

record -48 rushing yards in the most lopsided Spartan win since 1967.

Would they boast about bullying their most hated opponent up and down the field? Or pour gas on old rivalry embers with vitriolic comments?

Would they shy away from addressing the Wolverines and distribute the praise to teammates instead?

Having won five of the last six meetings in the rivalry, would head coach Mark Dantonio deliver another endearing quote to the Spartan fan base?

Not at all, actually.

For much of MSU’s recent history, this win would have been accompanied with Super Bowl-

frustration coming from them,” said Allen, who was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation national defensive player of the week for his efforts.

“Every time (Devin) Gardner would get hit he would kind of get up with this look of frustration and kind of doubt.”

Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook threw for 252 yards with one touchdown and one interception, along with a fourth quarter rushing touchdown that sent Cook fist pumping down the sidelines and junior center Travis Jackson jumping up and down at the goal line.

Cook’s lone touchdown pass was to senior wide receiver Bennie Fowler, who pulled down the fade pass in the corner of the end zone for his fifth receiving touchdown of the season.

Fowler was MSU’s leading receiver of the day, finishing with six receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown.

And while the overwhelming defensive output is not lost on anyone, Cook said the Spartans stayed poised on the offensive side of the ball, feeding off the energy of the defense to score points when given the chance.

“We continue to say that as an offense that we go against them every single day, we’ve gone against them for the past however many years and we do good against them,” Cook said.

“So if we do good against them, we can do good against any defense in the country, and I think that’s what we did today.”

Early in the game, the teams struggled to move the football through sloppy playing conditions, trading field goals until MSU’s final offensive drive of the first half, which was capped by Fowler’s touchdown reception to put the Spartans ahead, 13-6.

Another field goal by freshman kicker Michael Geiger made it a two-possession game with his third quarter 35-yard field goal.

The game could have turned after Cook threw an interception near the end of the third quarter, giving the Wolverines a fighting chance in a matchup of Big Ten heavyweights.

But the defense held Gardner from taking a shot at the end zone, forcing him to lose five yards on the next play from scrimmage followed by backto-back sacks to give MSU the ball back in the fourth quarter.

“This will last the rest of my life, but we have a few more games left — and the Rose Bowl, that’s gonna last the rest of my life.”

esque grandstanding. Beating the team from Ann Arbor seemingly validated the season as a success — anything else was just a bonus.

That mindset and culture was nowhere to be found on Saturday. The Spartans were undeniably excited, but the U-M jabs were kept to a minimum. The mood was celebratory, but also centered and mature.

MSU knew it had just exhibited dominance on the field.

The players knew it was the most important game on the schedule. They also knew there’s more to play for these days than beating the Wolverines. It was a good win, potentially a great win.

But the Spartans don’t plan on letting that win define their season anymore.

Nobody illustrated that point better than senior cornerback Darqueze Dennard. He helped orchestrate a Gatorade shower for defensive coordinator Pat Narduzzi — an honor typically reserved for a head coach after a momentous win.

“We’re saving the one for coach D,” Dennard said.

For what?

“Somewhere in Cali,” he said with a grin, referencing the Rose Bowl.

Senior linebacker Max Bullough had no interest in basking in his 3-1 career record against U-M, either. With his unique position as a captain, three-year starter and thirdgeneration Spartan, few have Bullough’s perspective on the importance of the rivalry.

“This will last the rest of my life, but we have a few more

Continued From there, Cook added seven points with a one-yard rushing touchdown, while junior running back Jeremy Langford capped the day with a 40-yard touchdown run to send Spartan Stadium into a state of jubilation.

“Our crowd came to play today,” head coach Mark Dantonio said after the game.

“They had their game face on from the get-go. I thought they were passionate. They were excited, and it was deafening down there.”

However, the talk of the team remains the defense, who thoroughly bullied the Wolverines in an effort reminiscent of MSU’s 2011 victory over U-M. “It feels good, anytime you can press the quarterback like we did,” senior linebacker Max Bullough said. “You talk about how it was a physical beatdown out here … And that is a complete game for us.”

Heading into a bye week, the Spartans now turn their sights to Nebraska, who likely will be the last team stand-

ing between MSU and a Big Ten Legends Division title and a trip to the Big Ten Championship Game on Dec. 7.

Closing the book on another MSU win against Michigan — the fifth in seven attempts during the Dantonio era — Dantonio said the Spartans take great pride in the program with plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks.

“I can just tell you that we do what we do,” Dantonio said. “There are guys that they have on their football team that we haven’t offered, let’s get that straight right now.

There are guys on our football team that they’ve never offered, so it’s what you do with the players that come and what their belief system is. Our guys are believing.”

And for Bullough, the goal remains the same as it ever was.

“You know this will last the rest of my life,” Bullough said.

“But we have a few more games left — and the Rose Bowl, that’s gonna last the rest of my life.”

games left — and the Rose Bowl, that’s gonna last the rest of my life,” Bullough said.

“That’s what I’m looking forward to. The work’s not done.”

Dantonio joked about daylight savings adding to the traditional 24-hour rule regarding the appropriate time to celebrate a win. He’s typically as open as anybody in the program regarding his dislike for U-M. Dantonio reinvented this rivalry by making the Spartans respectable. He’s expanded the expectations from simply competing, to winning to now competing for championships, distancing his program from U-M with each step.

“I can just tell you that

we do what we do,” he said.

“There are guys that they have on their football team that we haven’t offered.…

There are guys on our football team that they’ve never offered, so it’s what you do with the players that come and what they’re belief system is. Our guys are believing.”

Dantonio preached to his players about “keeping the lion in the cage,” until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday and not peaking too early. The lion feasted and, if the postgame vibe was any indication, it’ll be even hungrier next time it’s released.

CRC, greek community cleans up east lansing Riverboat party shut down by iibrahim@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS

By Simon Schuster

Numerous students and community members combed East Lansing streets Sunday morning to clean up the trail of plastic cups, leftover food and trash left behind by partiers and tailgating Spartan fans.

Community volunteers met downtown at 10:30 a.m. Sunday to take part in a neighborhood cleanup event hosted by the Community Relations Coalition, or CRC, the morning after the MSU football team’s win over the University of Michigan..

The coalition, formed in 1999, is a nonprofit organization that aims to bring communit y members together and build better relationships between students and permanent residents.

Participants were able to get acquainted with one another and meet their neighbors while working together to clean up off-campus neighborhoods near the downtown.

Trash bags, gloves a nd refreshments were provided to all volunteers.

“The mission is to learn a sense of responsibility for our community,” said Ryan McCafferty, a coalition intern.

McCafferty said the cleanup was more successful this year because of a larger crop of volunteers from throughout the city who came out to help.

Annual neighborhood cleanups are organized each year after home football games and often include help from other student groups, including the greek community.

The Interfraternity Council and the Panhellenic Council also assisted with the event, constructing a committee of 15 people to work on neighborhood cleanup event planning.

A popular Lansing night club known as The Riverboat was shut down by the Lansing Fire Marshal’s Office Wednesday evening.

On Wednesday night, The Riverboat was playing host to a Halloween costume party for college students ages 18 and older, according to the company’s website.

The exact reasons the club shut down are unclear, although the boat’s owners insisted they made ample preparations in security and safety.

Some students were able to ride the boat as it went along its route multiple times, but others were not able to board at all before it was shut down.

The company reportedly had 1,200 tickets available for the event. The Riverboat’s largest ship has seating for 450 passengers.

Boat captain Chris Chamberlain said attendee over-

Matt James, Neuroscience sophomore and event attendee

flow was meant to be contained in a large tent they had erected for the event.

Chamberlain said the company had discussed the event with the Fire Marshal’s Office previously and said officials had approved their preparations, but didn’t like the situation once a representative from the office arrived at the event.

The Lansing Fire Department declined to release an official statement, but an official did acknowledge that members of the Fire Marshal’s Office were present when The Riverboat was closed by authorities.

The official did not say whether further action would be taken.

Neuroscience sophomore Matt James said he felt safe for the two trips he took on the boat that evening.

James said he and others who attended the event were greet-

ed by the sight of about 15 police patrol cars as security hurriedly ushered all the passengers off the boat.

“It was super crowded, there were people all over the place,” James said. “We got out and (the police presence) made it seem like we were in real big trouble.

Inside, it was very calm, it was very happy.”

James said he never entered the tent and remained on the boat for the duration of his time at the event.

Chai Kinney attended the event with James and said things became more intense once authorities shut the event down.

“They tried to get everyone off the boat and they were really aggressive about it,” Kinney said.

Chamberlain said The Riverboat will offer full refunds to anyone who contacts them by phone or by email.

especially since we share this community with East Lansing residents,” said Alex Barone, the vice president of external relations for the Interfraternity Council. “Events like neighborhood cleanups not only help our relationship with the CRC, but with local residents as well.”

Communications senior and former coalition intern Tony Biallas started the initiative between the coalition and the

greek community to cooperate with one another for various events.

He said fostering a healthy relationship between students and neighborhood residents could help prevent major problems in the future.

“The greek community did one big neighborhood cleanup last year, but has already executed three this year,” he said.

“I’m hoping the initiative continues to grow.”

The screening is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, but seating is limited so be sure to arrive early.

Intrigued by the complex context of Sino-US relations, they share travel adventures, emotion of culture shock, honest confrontations and discoveries about each other. These experiences become doorways to deepen their understanding of the “other” and themselves.

beier, eysselinck, boyle best picks for council council before carefully making endorsements.

With that in mind, we believe candidates Ruth Beier and Ben Eysselinck are best suited to step onto the council for full terms, and Kathleen Boyle is the best choice to continue her tenure on council for another partial term.

his city could be under new leadership come tomorrow night.

East Lansing voters will elect three members in Tuesday’s city council election: Two four-year seats vacated by incumbents Kevin Beard and Vic Loomis and one partial, twoyear term are up for grabs.

Six candidates, three winners.

In a close-knit community like East Lansing, council members have the power to make decisions that will alter the face of the city for years to come.

The new Ann Street Plaza is one example. A redevelopment project slated to revive the blighted corner of Grand River and Michigan avenues, a proposed cap on the number of patrons at downtown bars and the future of student housing all rest on council members’ judgment.

The State News editorial board spoke with each candidate (except for Joanna Bosse, who did not respond to multiple interview requests), reviewed their respective records of community service and considered the perspective they would bring to the

Ruth Beier It is legal, yet unfair that so much of Beier’s donations came from her coworkers at the Michigan Education Association and not from the residents she hopes to serve. That fact still bothers us.

Still, her background as an economist, her experience serving on the city’s Downtown Development Authority and her beginnings working with the council as a resident to address neighborhood concerns puts her in a position to make educated decisions about the future of our city more so than other candidates. And unlike Eysselinck, reported her funds accurately and on time. We need someone who knows what they are talking about to shape the city budget and help businesses thrive.

Beier acknowledges that bringing more jobs to East Lansing is beyond the council’s control, but she has ideas for policies that could help make that happen. We hope she has the chance to serve on council and implement incentives to bring more sustainable businesses downtown, an idea she mentioned to the Editorial Board. We agree that incentives to diversify business downtown with more medical and technology companies, which could attract young families and keep students in town after they graduate, would be a positive step. We also agree that policies to help create housing for middle-income families or young professionals are necessary to sup-

Comments from readers

port a diverse, thriving city life.

Still, her dedication to the people of East Lansing is questionable considering so much of her funding came from outside city limits. If elected, Beier must prove she is in this to support the best interests of students and residents.

Ben Eysselinck Eysselinck struggled to raise more than $1,000 and was penalized for not filing his finance reports on time. While we are extremely concerned about how he will manage the budget of an entire city if he does not handle his own finances responsibly, compared to both Samantha Artley and Susan Woods, he is most qualified to serve on city council.

Although he has not served on council previously, he participated in the East Lansing Emerging Leaders Program, which teaches residents about the structure, functions and challenges of local government. He currently serves on the Historic District Commission, which often requires taking on difficult housing issues.

Eysselinck also is willing to go the extra mile to make decisions based on the good of the community. It was only after he walked downtown at 1 a.m. on a Saturday night and examined the bar scene for himself that he decided not to support a proposal to cap the number of patrons in East Lansing bars.

We agree with Eysselinck’s conclusion: There is no need or overwhelming safety concern compelling enough to justify such an ordinance.

JUST SO YOU KNOW

“Maybe I missed the point but my guess is that the dialogue over inferiority won’t actually stop until the MSU fan base decides to stop engaging in it. We’ve been dominating on the field for the last 5 years but seem to write more articles about how UofM fans perceive us rather than the accolades of our own program.

He’s been talking with other council members regarding the policy, and also attended a community discussion on the future of the Park District redevelopment project. We need a council member who is willing to personally go out into the community before making decisions on policies that will affect the city for years to come.

Still, Eysselinck must prove he is financially responsible if he is elected to council.

Kathleen Boyle Boyle’s previous experience on council and indepth knowledge of how to work together with other members make her the most qualified candidate running for office. Although her opponent Joanna Bosse’s work as an MSU assistant professor shows she has close ties with students and the university, multiple attempts to reach her for comment were unsuccessful. As a potential public official, Bosse’s lack of accessibility is troubling. Considering her opponent is unwilling or unable to communicate openly about her candidacy, Boyle is by default the better option for the partial term.

Take time to cultivate artistic side in college

I

have always felt a compelling pull toward the arts.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the next Vincent van Gogh, nor will I be taking the stage at Carnegie Hall any time in the near future. The pages of the sketchpads I’ve kept during my 18 years of life are littered with disproportionate animals, and my musical talent is limited to five years of unsuccessful piano lessons and a painfully off-key singing.

My lack of artistic ability does not inhibit my appreciation for the arts, but as a freshman juggling 14 credit hours with work and late-night homework and study sessions, “free time” has started to become even more of a rarity.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who has put art and culture on the backburner while I struggle through pages of reading for my sociology class.

On my first, and unofficial, tour of East Lansing and MSU’s campus this summer, I had high hopes of visiting the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum. The building was closed by the time we were able to stop by, but I shrugged it off and added it to my MSU bucket list of things I would

A person doesn’t have to be amazingly talented when it comes to art. They just have to have an interest or a passion in it for it to expand their horizons.

International students practice interview skills

By April Jones ajones@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

The job interview process often is nerve-wracking for anyone, but five students experienced something even more stressful this past Friday when they a public interview in front of an audience of students and job recruiters.

The event was organized by MSU’s China Entrepreneur Network Organization, or CEN, and was modeled after the Chinese reality show, “Only You”, where contestants compete for jobs in a televised interview where recruiters publicly hire or deny contestants.

Most MSU international students are allowed to stay in the United States for 12 months after graduation for practical training in their field of study, said Chris Bargerstock, the associate director in the Office for International Students and Scholars. After that, it is up to their employer or

visa status if a student will continue working in the U.S. International relations sophomore Ann Zhuang, who helped organize the event, said a lot of international students like herself aren’t used to the American interviewing process. She said it’s difficult to get jobs here in the U.S. because of visa statuses, or students don’t know how to showcase themselves well in interviews.

Zhuang said the main point of the event is to help students practice interviewing skills while showing talents to recruiters and employers.

“By providing this broader and better platform, we hope the participants could show their talent, professional knowledge, communication skills and high working responsibility,” she said.

International students are facing a huge problem because they think companies are not going to hire them because of visas and other complications, when really

it’s the opposite, said marketing junior and CEN co-president Yahang Zhang said.

“I know there are a lot of companies in Michigan area are growing and they want to expanding their business and they want global talents,” she said. “Our job is to bridge this gap.”

Recruiters were composed of both on-campus and offcampus organizations. At the end of each public interview, recruiters gave feedback to the applicants, and offered private interviews at a later date.

Accounting senior Kang Liu who was one of the five participants, said the best thing you can do during an interview is to take it easy and try to relax.

“It’s just an interview,” Liu said. “You’re going to have hundreds of interviews in your life — this is just one of them.”

Police: Football weekends showing rise in robberies

By Katie Abdilla kabdilla@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

After a slew of robberies on and off campus during football weekends, police prepared for more than typical tailgating citations prior to Saturday’s game.

East Lansing had eight reported unarmed robberies on Sept. 14, the day of the football game against Youngstown State, according to East Lansing police Capt. Jeff Murphy.

Although football weekend robberies have tapered off since then, Murphy said specific officers now are sent out solely searching for robbery suspects on game days and were pre-

pared for a rise in crime with Halloween and a football game occurring the same weekend.

“It’s a targeted patrol,” Murphy said. “We look for suspects we think could be involved, we stop them and talk to them to see if they’re involved at all.

Otherwise on a busy weekend they get busy with (minors in possession), parties and traffic stops and get tied up on something else.”

Of f icial cr ime statistics for incidents that occurred between Oct. 31 and Saturday will not be available until later this week.

Murphy said many of the previously recorded robberies have similarities.

Typically, he said, the sus-

Calculated net present values.

“Last month, I joined a team in San Francisco to start working on a Silicon Valley project. Come to find out, a few of the clients share my passion for fly-fishing. And some of the best in the world is just a short drive into the Northern Sierras.

Needless to say, when we head out on weekends, we take the phrase ‘Gone Fishing’ to a whole new level.”

pects prey on individuals who are walking alone and are noticeably intoxicated, beating them severely and taking electronics and money. Many of the suspects police apprehended came from outside the Lansing area. "(Suspects) start following them around a party into an area where there’s not a lot of witnesses,” he said. “The monetary loss is not a big deal, the problem is some of these people are getting beat up pretty badly. The disturbing thing about it is many of the suspects we’ve caught had no other reason to be here other than to rob people.”

MSU police have investigated similar assault and robbery

incidents surrounding game weekends, but the incidents are not limited to home games.

MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said police released alerts regarding unarmed robberies Sept. 22, the day after the Notre Dame game, as well as Oct. 27, the day following a football game in Illinois.

MSU police also are inves-

tigating a strong-arm robbery that occurred on Oct. 31.

According to a statement released by MSU police, an 18-year-old female student was riding on her skateboard near the Business College Complex when a man pushed her off her skateboard, took it and ran toward Shaw Hall.

Although he planned on an

influx of people in East Lansing for the football game and Halloween festivities, finance freshman Joseph Buko said he didn’t notice any signs of trouble.

“Since it was also Halloween, I did expect it to be crazier,” Buko said. “There was definitely a lot more action and stuff going on, but I didn’t notice any more problems than usual.”

Mackenzie MacEachern tallied two goals as the MSU hockey team finished the weekend sweep of American International with a 4-0 win Sunday afternoon at Munn Ice Arena.

Freshman forward Joe Cox netted his second career goal, and senior forward Greg Wolfe scored his team-leading fifth in the Spartans (3-3-0 overall) third consecutive win.

“A more complete game today certainly makes us feel a little better,” head coach Tom Anastos said. “We saw some good things today from our five-on five-play.

I liked how we backchecked. We created some really good scoring chances.”

After barely holding on for a 5-4 win on Friday, the Spartans bounced back for their first weekend sweep of the season

THE STATE NEWS nn

Danyelle Morrow/The State News

Freshman forward Joe Cox passes the puck away from American International defenseman Jake Williams on Sunday at Munn Ice Arena. The Spartans shutout the Yellow Jackets in the second game of the series, 4-0.

After a scoreless first period, MacEachern got on a two-onnone with freshman forward and linemate Thomas Ebbing.

“Jake gave me a pass and I picked my head up and saw that I was on a two-on-zero, and I saw Thomas and wanted to give him an opportunity to score his first college goal,” MacEachern said. “Unfortunately it hit the post, and I was lucky enough to put it home. I was not (thinking about the shot).”

Wolfe doubled the score midway through the second when senior forward Lee Reimer made a nice pass in front of net to find a wide open Wolfe, who lifted the puck over the goalie’s shoulder.

MacEachern squeaked in his second goal four minutes into

the third period. Junior forward Brent Darnell put a puck on net, where MacEachern took a couple hacks at it and sent it five-hole.

Cox added a late tally as he was falling down from the right side of the net after an on-target pass from senior forward Dean Chelios.

MSU outshot AIC for the second-straight game, firing 40 pucks toward the net compared to 26 for the Yellow Jackets.

Senior goalie Will Yanakeff got his first start since the finale of the UMass series and earned the fourth shutout of his career, making 26 saves.

“We fought hard and battled to the end,” Yanakeff said. “They didn’t throw many shots on net, so I don’t know how much credit I can take; I didn’t have that many scoring chances against me. This is a great opportunity for me and I just played my game.”

MSU came away with a 5-4 win on Friday, almost squandering its 5-1 lead late in the game.

AIC scored three goals in just over 10 minutes to make it a little closer than anticipated.

“We’re fortunate that we can enjoy the win, but there are things that we can improve on,” Anastos said.

The Spartans will travel to Houghton, Mich., for a weekend series against Michigan Tech. It will be the first time the Spartans travel to the Upper Peninsula since the 1983-84 season when they lost a pair to the Huskies.

Anastos said he learned a lot from this weekend, but also added that the Spartans need to realize keeping this streak of good games can be a big step in the right direction for this young team.

“You’ve really got to focus on the process and trying to win each shift,” Anastos said.

“You build momentum by not even realizing over time that we’re taking these small steps and they turn into big gains. Starting tomorrow we’ll look at Michigan Tech, where we know will be a difficult place to play.”

The MSU women’s cross country team placed first overall in the Big Ten Championship on Sunday in West Lafayette, Ind. The women finished the race with 43 points and five Spartans placing in the top 15. Leah O’Connor took second place overall, crossing the finish line at 20:56. MSU’s Katie Landwehr, Lindsey Clark, Rachele Schulist, and Megan Rodgers finished shortly after O’Connor taking fifth, ninth, 12th, and 15th place, respectively.

Walt Drenth, coach of the MSU cross country and track and field team, said the win for the women is exciting and a relief. He said the women did a number of things on Sunday to help them clench that top spot.

“They behaved like a team more than anything else,” Drenth said. “We knew if we ran well as a group, we would have a legitimate chance to win.

They were committed to each other, patient and they ran the last portion of the race.”

O’Connor said the team win was probably one of the sweetest experiences to have as a runner, especially since they could all celebrate together.

“We knew what we were capable of as a team, and we were able to stay together as a pack,” O’Connor said. “Pack running is so powerful, especially in the Big Ten. I remember I could hear my teammates next to me, and I knew I was working with them. You know they are depending on you, and you just have to keep grinding and working with your teammates through the entire course.”

The men’s team finished with

170 points, giving them a seventh-place finish, but had one Spartan in the top five: Caleb Rhynard. He finished fourth with a time of 24:21, the highest Spartan individual finish since 1998.

Rhynard said the race started slowly, but it picked up toward the end as the pack started separating and runners began making their moves. He said his individual finish this year was a big improvement, as he jumped 15 places from last year to this year, but the team didn’t perform as well as he had hoped.

“We just needed to run as a team a little better, and get up into the mix a little more,” Rhynard said. “(We needed to) hang onto each other as reference points, instead of just fighting alone.”

Drenth said the men probably needed to make adjustments in the way they managed the course. Nonetheless, he said they are an incredible group of athletes ready to take on the regional championship. “(The men) were aggressive early, but they probably should’ve been a little more patient going in,” Drenth said.

“I felt like we needed to find some medium. (But) if we can get control of our run, we will be fine at the regional race.”

As the team gears up for regionals, O’Connor said they hope to carry over the momentum from Sunday’s race.

“We can probably carry the confidence of knowing how to run as a team from Big Ten into regionals,” O’Connor said. “We are going to keep gearing up our energy levels, and practice as hard as we can.”

The cross country team will head to the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Championship on Nov. 15 in Madison, Wis.

Students, residents dress up for a cause

By Anya Rath arath@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

Mario and Luigi, fairies, convicts and a Grim Reaper all ran through campus yesterday to promote cancer research.

Students and community members dressed up in costumes on Sunday morning for the Student Osteopathic Medical Association’s annual 5k Monster Dash.

Participants ran or walked from Fee Hall to Sparty and back and ranged in age from toddlers to senior citizens. The event also served as a race and the winners took home medals.

About 150 people participated in the annual 5k Monster Dash, put on by the Student Osteopathic Medical Association A free osteopathic manipulative medicine clinic offered checkups after the race for participants who had any physical issues.

“Our goal is to educate the com mun it y on osteopat hic medicine,” Lauren Vocke said, a second-year student in the College of Osteopathic Medicine and president of the Student Osteopathic Medical Association.

Vocke said the 5k brought out about 150 runners and they raised around $5,000 from entry fees and various donations from local businesses.

This year, the proceeds of the 5k will go to benefit the Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation and St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a childhood cancer charity.

Monica Marcelis Fochtman, the mother of a 2013 ambassador for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, said the event brought much needed exposure to the issue of childhood cancer.
