Celebration! Cinema of East Pickard St. was recently approved for a liquor license after a unanimous Union Town-ship vote at a public hearing Wednesday night.

The cinema is looking to include alcohol in order to increase the amount of custom-ers because of the modern movie-going habits of their patrons. They are approved for a Class C license allowing for beer, wine and spirits.

This location of Celebration! Cinema will be the fifth in their chain to implement a liquor serving policy. Celebration Banquets, which supplies the menu, expects no substantial changes to their food menu.

All alcohol will be served in clear cups and pint beers will be $5. Although the state requires a minimum of three employees to be trained to serve alcohol, at least 20 theater employees will be trained.

RJ Mitte, co-star of AMC’s “Breaking Bad,” and equality and diversity activist, will be speaking on Central Michigan University’s campus 7 p.m. Tuesday in Plachta Auditorium.

Mitte is most commonly known for his role in which he plays, Walter Jr., a char-acter with cerebral palsy. He will speak about his real-life experiences dealing with his condition, overcoming the challenges associated with it and how he turned it into a career asset.

Beyond his acting, Mitte is involved with several organi-zations that raise awareness of equality and diversity. He is the Youth Spokesperson for the National Disability Insti-tute’s Real Economic Impact Tour, which works to improve the financial situation of low-income persons with dis-abilities. He is also a spokes-person for “I AM PWD,” a campaign that advocates for actors with disabilities.

The event is free and open to the public. For more informa-tion, contact Kelsey McConnell with the CMU Program Board at (269) 903-6783 or at [email protected].

A month-long investigation on the part of multiple police agencies resulted in the arrest of five men in connection to numerous car larcenies.

Payne Crawford, 19, Quentin Parker, 20, Thomas Hayter, 19, Corey Johnson, 17, and Ryan Hughes, 28, all of Mount Pleasant, were arrested and arraigned on multiple misdemeanor and felony charges. None of the men are Central Michigan University students.

The five men were arrested with the help of Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Police and the Isabella County

Sheriff’s Depart-ment. Mount Pleasant Public Information Of-ficer Jeff Browne said the MPPD in-vestigated roughly 70 cases of thefts from vehicles since September.

“It started right around the first of September,” Browne said. “We started noticing an increase in car larcenies.”

The MPPD took to social media and the local radio to warn members of the community and provide tips for better

protecting a vehicle from theft.Crawford and Parker were investi-

gated by the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Police for an incident occurring within their jurisdiction. It was discov-

ered during investigation that the two men were also tied to car larcenies in Mount Pleasant and throughout the community.

Historically, the College of Edu-cation and Human Services has the largest budget at Central Michigan University.

Detailed in the 2014-15 operating budget, EHS earned $35.4 million from tuition alone. State appropria-tions accounted for $12.02 million, up 5.6 percent from last year.

For the 2013-14 academic year, the college’s overall revenue was $46.5 million. This year, the budget was increased to $47.4 million, increasing after losing around $3 million from 2012-13.

“CMU has a responsibility-cen-

tered management budget model so decision making with respect to each college’s budget is made at the college level,” said Associ-ate Director of Financial Planning and Budgets, Joe Garrison. “Each college makes numerous decisions when they create their budget and then submit them to our office for review and inclusion in the overall university budget.”

Most departments saw marginal increases in revenue from tuition and state appropriated funding, coinciding with increased enroll-ment. Human and environmental studies consistently is the largest department, bringing in over $13 million from the previous two years.

Recreation, parks and leisure services traditionally has the second-highest enrollment, fol-lowed by counseling and special education. Educational leadership is the smallest program on campus, this year bringing in $670,806, but accounted for $2.1 million in global campus revenue, a testament to CMU’s growing global campus.

Last year, expenditures for teacher salaries at the Child Development and Learning Lab increased by almost $10,000; go-ing from $303,561 to 313,229. The college was also able to put more money towards supplies and equip-ment, as well as benefits.

Students Advocating Gender Equality is attempting to change the student code of conduct to make permanent dismissal the minimum punishment for students found responsible for sexual assault.

Today SAGE will deliver a letter to Central Michigan University

President George Ross detailing their demands for the change and will participate in a demonstra-tion Tuesday at 10 a.m. outside the walkway by the Fabiano Botanical Garden. The demonstration will end with a march on Warriner Hall at 1 p.m. Their online petition reached 5,000 signatures as of Sunday night.

“Our protest is mainly a symbolic action. We want university admin-

istrators to realize students at CMU take sexual assault very seriously and we want them to as well,” said SAGE President Hannah Mollett. “To subject a survivor or any other student to sit next to a rapist in classes is just absurd.”

This action is focused on stu-dents violating the student code of conduct and not those who have committed sexual assault in the past.

Sexual misconduct is a viola-tion, according to section 3.2.7.1 of the CMU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Disciplinary Procedures. Section 4.4.5 states the minimum mandatory sanction for sexual assault is suspension, although expulsions are an option in some cases.

Students Advocating Gender Equality at Central Michigan University

[email protected] 27 October 2014 Dear President Ross and Central Michigan University Administrators, Although statistics show 1 in 4 women will experience sexual assault at some point during their college career1, universities, including CMU, have shown little action in punishing perpetrators. According to section 3.2.7.1 of the CMU Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Disciplinary Procedures2, sexual assault is a violation of the conduct allowed by the university. However, as outlined by section 4.4.5 of the code, the minimum mandatory sanction for sexual assault is suspension. We want the minimum mandatory sanction to be changed to permanent dismissal (expulsion) for those found responsible of sexual assault. Suspending students found responsible for sexual assault violations allows them to come back to CMU, disrespect the survivor even further, and potentially re-‐offend. This puts all CMU students at risk, something which administration should care deeply about stopping.

We want CMU to take sexual assault seriously. Housing students who are known perpetrators of sexual assault is not taking it seriously. Students should not have to face the person who assaulted them just to get an education, nor should students feel unsafe knowing they attend school with those found responsible for rape.

Sexual assault is not a CMU value, but integrity and caring for others are. That’s why, on behalf of concerned members of the student body and campus community, we compel the board of trustees make this policy change, for the sake of survivors of sexual assault and for the sake of all students put at risk by attending school with rapists. We have heard resounding support from survivors and other students, including a petition signed by over 4,700 people (and growing). The link to that petition can be found here: http://chn.ge/1xdaVoK In the future, we hope CMU can be a place of progress when it comes to sexual assault issues. We wish to see more resources put into title IX educational programs and programs to prevent sexual assault. For now, however, we want to see CMU do the right thing and make campus a better place for students-‐ expel rapists! Sincerely, Students Advocating Gender Equality & Concerned members of the campus community

Nel Boose, director of En-rollment and Financial Oper-ations, said expenditures for the college are determined

by assessment of all of their programs and services.

“We continuously assess our programs and services to ensure they are in align-ment with market trends, student demand, and uni-versity or college strategic priorities,” Boose said. “It is that evaluation that deter-

mines any shifts or adjust-ments we make in resource allocation.”

Faculty salaries account-ed for $11.25 million $10.73 million, combined with staff salaries and benefits, personnel expenditures totaled $19.23 million, up $1 million from last year.

The suspension varies in length and is determined by a committee made up of designees. Designees include Tony Voisin, the vice president of student enrollment services, Andrew Spencer, chair of the Academic Senate, and Chuck Mahone, SGA president. The survivor is allowed to make a witness statement, which typi-cally holds a lot of weight in the decision.

“It varies because the code deals with the issues ranging from unwanted kissing to the worst case. It depends on the individual case,” said Shaun Holtgreive, executive director of Campus Living.

Holtgreive said there is no standard for incidents of rape, although in most cases the suspension lasts for a year and “most have been beyond gradu-ation for the survivor.” However, there have been instances where the survivor requests a lesser punishment. The perpetrator typically does not come back to CMU, Holtgreive said.

The spectrum of sexual assault is the main schism in thinking between SAGE and university administrators.

“We don’t like to differenti-ate between different types of sexual assault,” Mollett said. “I don’t think that saying one type is worse than another is productive in any way. There are so many other variables in those situations.”

Katherine Lasher, director of the Office of Civil Rights and Institutional Equity, said it is important not to look at the issue in a vacuum, she believes there are varying ways sexual assaults occur.

“It could be during a dating relationship, an acquaintance or someone they don’t know,” Lasher said. “All those factors are considered when sanction-ing an individual.”

She continued that it is most important to empower the sur-

The two face charges from both MPPD and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribal Police.

Hayter and Johnson were involved in a car pursuit, Oct. 14, with the Isabella County Sher-iff’s Department. Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said deputies pursued the car from Isabella County to Gratiot county.

According to an ICSD press release, the driver, Hayter, lost control of the car and crashed into a bean field. During inves-tigation, officers found a purse inside the stolen vehicle that had been taken from a vehicle linked to the Mount Pleasant thefts.

Hayter and Johnson face charges of home invasion, pos-session of burglary tools, motor vehicle theft, possession of a controlled substance, receiving and concealing stolen property, breaking and entering a vehicle to steal property and malicious destruction of property from ICSD. Hayter also faces charges of fleeing and eluding a police officer and driving with a sus-pended license.

They also both face charges from MPPD.

Mioduszewski said the ICSD and MPPD began collaborat-ing as soon as his deputies discovered the link between the two cases.

“Our detectives met up with their detectives and they were able to link them through evi-dence,” he said.

Hughes was caught in the

act of stealing from a car by Mount Pleasant police and was arrested on Oct. 15. He faces charges only from MPPD.

Some, but not all, of the prop-erty stolen has been recovered and returned to the original owners, according to the press release.

Browne said hearings for the men have begun and are still being scheduled. He said he believes the men tied to the majority of recent car larcenies in the community are now in custody and off the streets.

“Obviously, we’d like to think we’ve got the majority of indi-viduals involved,” he said.

Browne said reducing the risk of having items stolen from a car is relatively simple and urges community members to hide their valuable items when away from their car as part of a

tactic he calls “out of sight, out of mind.”

“It’s a very quick and easy crime,” Browne said. “If they don’t see anything, they move on to the next vehicle.”

Browne also encouraged community members to report suspicious behavior, such as a stranger in the neighborhood, to the police to help prevent possible thefts.

vivor and give them a voice in the decision-making process. Lasher said removing that choice could take away from the survivor’s power to control the situation.

Mollett countered that the university has a responsibility to remove a rapist from campus; having a survivor in the same environment as their attacker can be indescribably painful.

Moving ForwardA resolution calling for the

same punishment was intro-duced to the Student Govern-

ment Association two weeks ago and was tabled indefinitely. If SGA brings the resolution forward, it would be reviewed by the senior staff and a recommen-dation would have to be made to support it.

If Ross felt the change was warranted, the policy would then require approval from the Board of Trustees.

If passed, CMU would be pioneering such a penalty in the United States.

Lasher said there are very few schools that require a mandatory sanction.

“It is an unusual request. There is no legal obligation to expel an individual under Title IX or any of the related regulations,” Lasher said. “It is not something universities have been entertaining to this point.”

Statistics on sexual assault at public universities are difficult to quantify. One in Four, Inc, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to the prevention of rape, reports only 11 percent of women go to police after an incident of sexual assault.

According to their statistics, 673,000 women attending U.S.

colleges and universities have experienced rape.

Mollett said groups like Sex-ual Aggression Peer Advocates are examples of what CMU has done well to combat the issue. Because one in four college women report surviving rape or attempted rape at some point in their lifetime, having the group is not enough.

Lasher said she has received positive feedback from peers at other universities, especially because her office has been around much longer than other institutions. Both Lasher

and Holtgreive were adamant that the university has been progressive in tackling sexual assault issues and Ross will take recommendations from student leadership seriously.

“I have three sisters who graduated from (CMU) and I have three daughters, one of which is a student here,” Holt-greive said. “As a father, I am very comfortable (with CMU’s system). (The system) gives the survivor the opportunity to get what he or she wants and the institution the ability to protect the community.”

By Brianne TwiddyStaff Reporter

An odd scream echoed throughout the neighborhood as a group of friends escaped from the backyard, their heart racing and looks of terror plastered across their faces. They paused and looked back at the house before sud-denly laughing.

The house they ran from is owned by Todd and Scott Kinsley, brothers who grew up running haunted houses from their parents’ garage and their friends’ basements. Now, the two CMU alumni run The Dark Realms Haunted Yard, which is now celebrating its second season.

The yard is opened from 7 to 9:30 p.m. on Halloween at 501 N. Arnold St. with a special “less scary” hour from 6 to 7 p.m. on Halloween night only.

“There was a girl who almost peed her pants and that’s kind of what I want,” said volunteer actor and Clarkston junior Tom Alty. “We almost got her.”

With the Dark Tiki Island theme, the yard is set up with tents featuring elaborate decorations and is the only haunted yard in Michigan to use UV reactors.

With lights flashing, fog creeping from intimidating corners, lasers unex-pectedly shooting and an intimidating laser vortex tunnel, customers are told to enter at their own risk and anyone under the age of 12 must be accompa-nied by an adult.

The event is free, but donations, which are given to the Humane Animal Treatment Society (HATS) of Mount Pleasant, are appreciated.

“I think it’s a great thing, especially since we aren’t charging someone a set amount and that people are donating,” said greeter of the yard and Livonia se-nior Kaitlyn Okopny. “It’s just amazing.”

Realm ofCMU alumni operate charity haunted house for students and Mount Pleasant residents

The Kinsley brothers attended the Midwest Haunters Convention, a weekend-long convention where they were trained in scare tactics, makeup and were also given promotion advice. They used that advice and Todd’s ex-perience as a sound designer to create the almost entirely homemade yard.

“We’d like to expand if we could find some kind of charity or business that would want to partner with us that has land or a building,” Todd Kinsley said. “We have more than we have out there now, just because we don’t have space for it, so if we could find some type of strategic partner, we’d love to expand somewhere else because there’s not much more we can do.”

The haunting stretches across the entire backyard and can take up to seven minutes to get through.

“I’ve scared a couple guys, which is great because I know girls are prob-ably easier to scare and guys can be

more of a challenge,” said volunteer actor and Cheredin senior Branden Wheeler. “They jump and it’s fun. One guy said, ‘don’t tell anyone I screamed like that.’”

As the yard is solely funded by the Kinsleys, who rely on volunteers to play the horror actors. This year, most of the actors consisted of the Student Accounting Society, HATS volunteers, and “some people who knew them and thought it would be fun,” according to Scott Kinsley.

The volunteers are put through a short orientation that consists of going over safety and tips on how to scare people to keep them moving. Those in-terested in volunteering next year can go on their website, darkrealmshaunt.com, or message them on Facebook.

Both the number of volunteers, amount of donations and attendance, which has included people from both Midland and Big Rapids, has doubled

since last year. The yard took approxi-mately 60 hours to set up.

“[The UV reactors] go back to our glowing mini-golf business,” Todd Kinsley said. “We wanted to be original with that. In Vegas and a few states down, you can dark light mini-golf indoors, so we thought, ‘wouldn’t it be cool if you could do that outdoors?’ So we had the course we bring to all our events and had the black lights already, so it was like a bleed through from the mini-golf. It makes us dif-ferent, because other people do black light haunts, but as far as I know, we’re the only outdoor black light haunt-ing, and I know we’re the only ones in Michigan.”

Despite the echoes of scared customers they hear throughout the neighborhood, the Kinsleys have yet to go through a run of their own haunted yard.

“We’re tough to scare,” Todd said.

Super Mario dodged his cart in an attempt to overtake his opponents while still dodging an onslaught of fly-ing turtle shells.

While the action unfolded closer and closer to the checkered flag, Owosso senior John Bird relived his childhood in a tournament of the popular video game.

“We chose Mario Kart because it’s one of the more popular games on N64 and it’s something multiple people can play,” Bird said.

The tournament had four Nintendo Wii consoles, playing simultaneously on four TVs. It was held at Gaming Central, on the lower level of the Bovee

University Center Sunday.The Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, a social

men’s fraternity organized the Mario Kart Grand Prix 64 to raise money for fraternity operations. After the initial rounds, players advanced to the finals and ultimately the championship race.

But the highlight of the event for many was the opportunity to relive their childhood.

“Mario Kart was my childhood,” said Jordan Newton, a Macomb senior. “I would get invited to my friend’s place and we would play Mario Kart so it’s a fun pastime. “

Some of the participants still enjoy playing Mario Kart on a regular basis.

“We play Mario Kart once or twice a week at my apartment,” said Grand Haven senior Kyle Kaufman.

Students gather in UCfor Mario Cart tourney

Students also cited playing with oth-ers as a highlight of the event.

“Honestly Mario Kart is one of my all time favorite games especially to play with a lot of people,” Bird said.

For some participants, Mario Kart is

also a good opportunity to bond with friends. Even those who had never played before still enjoyed themselves.

“Today was my first day playing,” said Simon Geissler, an exchange stu-dent from Munich, Germany.

A year ago, I applied to different colleges, feeling hopelessly con-cerned about what I looked like on paper. I was a student overwhelmed by the pressure of an education system that makes people believe that their GPAs calculate potential and test scores measure actual intel-ligence.

The problem with that kind of thinking is it takes away from the process of learning. Although it may seem like an issue of the past, it can be a difficult set of expectations to abandon.

In college, we should be making the most of our education. That includes asking questions, meet-ing new people, stepping outside of our comfort zones and thinking critically about the world around us. I witness many people, however, who still remain trapped within that terrible system of thought.

Skipping class every day detracts from learning, but so does obsessing over grades. We can’t learn much about the world if we never go out and experience it. But if we’re only motivated to excel by the sugges-tion of extra credit we can get from listening to speakers or going to events, we haven’t really learned anything either.

We need to start experiencing the world, both inside and outside the classroom, for ourselves, not for the prospect of a higher grade. Credit is simply a label: A few points that we’re conditioned to think repre-sent worth and success.

In college, our perceptions were meant to be in a constant state of evolution, but only if we allow them to. We can ask questions in class, or we can scribble down notes from the board without ever understand-ing more. We can immerse our-selves in the world and go to events that push us out of our comfort zones, or we can attend events for extra credit and leave once we have proof that we attended.

Why should we simply just at-tend when we should be making an impact? I don’t want to graduate and say that I went here. I want to be able to say that I learned and discovered here. That I changed as a person. That I helped change the university for the better.

We’re worth

more than a grade

Paige Sheffield

Columnist

College is a time of discovery as students move on into adulthood, and continue to learn as adults and to think for themselves; it is a time more powerful than any for analyti-cal thought and for students to make a difference in their communities.

Last year, this editorial board challenged the CMU community, the Student Government Associa-tion and just about any student who was mad as hell to take to pavement and lead more large-scale protests. Although students have been slow to organize and demonstrate, we commend some students for starting the conversa-tions, and getting this school on the right track.

Through public demonstrations and protests, colleges have histori-cally hosted much of the political and social discussions that inform the sentiments of a generation. Campus protests arguably helped end the Vietnam War in the 1960s;

it was the questioning, youthful energy of that same generation that fought for civil rights for both ethnic minorities and eventually for homosexuals decades later.

As students, we have the opti-mism, the time and the responsibil-ity to continue these public discus-sions to shape the world we are soon to thrive within. Our students have already begun to make change by increasingly activist efforts.

Often in small, but passion-ate numbers, CMU students have hosted demonstrations for and against abortion; they have protested police brutality under the shadow of the controversy in Ferguson, Mo. Political groups, driven by students, have taken to the community to stress the im-portance of midterm voting.

Other groups have pushed for the use of proper personal gender pronouns, and have made climate change a top issue.

All of these feats were done in the short span of a few months this fall.

On Tuesday, another student group has plans to hand-deliver a list of demands to University Pres-ident George Ross in an attempt to demand all those accused of sexual assault be promptly expelled.

These endeavors make us take hard looks at the world around us. They force us to decide whether to stand idly by or to stand up against perceived injustices. Older generations have called us out on the regular for being simply being OK with the status quo, for not making waves and being too complacent to authority.

They wonder how we can be in-formed citizens and work toward change, when our days are filled with photo streams, and 140-word blocks of supposed chatter.

They struggle to understand how we have embraced the plight of other people not in spite of

these tools, but with them as vital weapons for change. In fact, through the wealth of information available on social media, we are more informed than ever.

As we did last year, Central Michigan Life continues to en-courage students to harness the power of the information age. They must rise up and stake claim to the social evolution of society.

We also endeavor to ensure the activists of decades past that we understand the gravity of their work; that the progress toward for social justice is far from over, and we aren’t giving up.

The recent protests on campus are proof that this generation will make as big of difference as any before it – maybe even more.

So the light from our phones may appear to blind, but the bulb is still on in our brains.

We know we can make a difference, and we will.

A few weeks ago, I was af-flicted with what turned out to be an obnoxious viral infection that affected my nasal cavities and sinuses – tis the season!

After several miserable days of missing numerous classes and trying to fight it off myself, I was prescribed multiple medications to alleviate the symptoms.

That’s all fine and dandy, but what you must understand up front is that I have a print disability that

U.S. needs drug labels

for the blind

Kevin AndrewsColumnist

prevents me from being able to read conventional printed text despite the font size.

This creates an extremely frus-trating situation when it comes to identifying the proper dosages, times and amounts on prescrip-tion labels. Sure, I can ask a friend, family member or the pharmacist to read what it says – all individu-als whom I sincerely trust when it comes to solving such a dilemma – but should that be necessary?

Absolutely not.It’s almost the end of 2014; scien-

tists have started figuring out how to regenerate genital organs for both males and females. I’ll admit: That’s pretty awesome. But shouldn’t blind people and other individuals with print disabilities be able to have access to quality, affordable and ac-cessible prescription materials?

This should, without question, be starting from the top. Accord-ing to their 2013 full reports, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer – the two most profitable phar-maceutical companies in the U.S. – generated $71.3 billion and $51.6 billion, respectively.

Companies generating such as-tronomical feats of wealth can and ought to at least attempt to make an effort to work to make their medi-cation labels accessible to every-one. That may mean working with pharmacists, medical practitioners and patients directly, incorporating

Braille or other solutions based on an individual consumer’s needs and requirements.

The next and, what I envision to be, the most realistic solution is for patients to advocate for them-selves. There are various delivery methods for providing accessible prescription drug container labels, some of which are outlined in a report published by the American Council of the Blind on July 10, 2013. These methods include hard copy Braille, large print and dedi-cated electronic equipment.

There has also been some initial legislative action regarding this issue – in 2012, President Barack Obama signed the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Inno-vation Act, which includes mea-sures to promote drug safety and to improve FDA procedures for reviewing new medicines and medi-

cal devices. In addition, a section of this act allows the Access Board to develop best and most efficient practices for making information on prescription drug container labels accessible to people who are blind or visually-impaired or who are elderly.

It is evident that work has begun in order to make prescription medication labels accessible to those who are blind or low-vision. However, it is going to take work from all sides--drug companies, advocacy groups and various leg-islative bodies.

It may be a long, arduous task, but some day I believe we will live in a country where health care is not only affordable and available to every citizen, but with the acces-sible implementation of drug labels for all consumers no matter their physical limitations.

By Taylor DesOrmeauSenior Reporter

A windy afternoon in Buffalo meant the Central Michigan University football team needed to run the ball early and often if it wanted to beat the Bulls on Saturday.

When senior running back Thomas Rawls was knocked out of the game with a leg injury on CMU’s first drive, junior Saylor Lavallii stepped up and led CMU to a 20-14 victory.

Lavallii and sophomore Martez Walker combined for 37 carries, 137 yards and two touchdowns, as the Chip-pewas moved to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in the Mid-American Conference this season.

“Saylor ran hard,” said Head Coach Dan Enos. “He walked out here today and didn’t know if he was going to get any carries and next thing you know, he’s in the game.”

After jumping out to a 14-0 lead, the CMU offense sputtered, ending five con-secutive drives with either a punt or a turnover.

The Bulls scored a pair of touchdowns on their first two drives.

Buffalo had the ball on the CMU 34-yard line with 2:37 to play in the third quar-

ter when junior defensive back Brandon Greer made a leaping interception at the Chippewa two-yard line.

It was on the next drive that senior wide receiver Titus Davis made the play that proved to be the differ-ence in the game.

On CMU’s longest drive of the year, Davis was re-sponsible for 51 of the Chip-pewas 98 yards, capped by a seven-yard touchdown catch on third down with 8:08 to play.

The touchdown reception was the 29th of his career, sur-passing Bryan Anderson for the most in CMU program history.

“It’s a good individual accomplishment,” Davis said. “I have a better feel-ing knowing that it was the game-winning touchdown. It all came together and it feels good.”

After redshirt freshman Brian Eavey missed the extra point following Davis’ touchdown, Buffalo had two chances to take the lead back in the closing moments.

But the Chippewa de-fense held.

“Some of those runs (La-vallii) had at the end of the game got us into that third and one at the end so we didn’t have to give them the

ball back,” Enos said. “For a guy that was the leading rusher last year and then comes in this year and he’s not carrying the ball very much, a lot of guys would pout and be selfish. Saylor has not done that at all.”

After sitting out of two of the past three games, defensive back Jason Wilson broke up three passes, two of which came on fourth down

situations for Buffalo in the final six minutes of the game.

CMU’s defense held Buffalo running back Anthone Taylor to 25 rushing yards on 14 carries. It was Taylor’s worst performance of the season.

“I told the guys, ‘thanks a lot, you just took another five years off my life,’” Enos said. “I thought it was a great character win for our team.”

The Chippewas are now

5-0 when allowing 17 points or less and 0-4 when allow-ing more than 17 in a game.

CMU has an opportunity to become bowl eligible with a win at Eastern Michigan (2-6, 1-3 MAC) next weekend.

EscapE artists

Time to relax, sort of

The Chippewas post-season hopes are still alive.

Barely.Saturday’s 20-14 defeat

of Mid-American Con-ference East Division bottom-feeder Buffalo was a Houdini-like display of desperation and collec-tive teamwork.

When senior running back Thomas Rawls went down with injury on his third carry of the game against University of Buf-falo, CMU’s postseason hopes and dreams flashed before its concerned eyes.

With Rawls’ health uncertain, an uneasy feel-ing is left in the stomachs of Chippewas players and fans moving forward.

Oddly enough, the time to panic came and then dissipated within a span of a few hours Saturday afternoon.

Give credit to backup running back Saylor Lavallii. That kid put his head down and strapped the team to his back as he carried the ball and even-tually the Chippewas to a season saving win.

But there is still a lot of work to do, and very little time to do it.

Once again, the Chip-pewas will head into ac-tion (Saturday at Eastern Michigan) favored to come out on top.

EMU is embarrassingly bad. And has been for quite some time. A loss to the Eagles is something CMU, with or without Rawls, cannot afford.

As off the field issues plague the program and penalties poke holes in Enos’ game plan, things are as crucial for this team as they have ever been.

This team is like a tiny bug squirming away from and dodging the foot of superior competition each week.

Buffalo was a bad team; EMU is just as bad, if not worse.

All of CMU’s remaining games are very winnable.

One more loss, and the Chippewas are toast.

If CMU can make it to its off week without another loss, a bowl game will remain an achievable outcome.

The trouble is that if this team keeps playing like it has the last two weeks, I’m not sure many of us will want to watch what is going to happen when it gets there.

After another disappointing end to a promising weekend, Central Michigan University’s volleyball team remains in the middle of the pack in the Mid-American Conference.

The Chippewas finished the weekend 1-1, sweeping Akron on Friday, and falling to University of Buffalo 3-1.

The women now stand 9-13 overall and 4-6 in the MAC.

Coach Erik Olson said he was frustrated with the way his team’s play against UB.

“Our players have got to find a way to get it done,” Olson said. “We gave them the tools, we gave them the knowledge to do it, but they have to go out there and get it done on the court.”

Senior Kaitlyn McIntyre returned to the lineup for the Chippewas against Akron af-ter missing both matches last weekend with an injury.

McIntyre’s return to the court helped the women take down the Zips in three straight sets. She finished the match with 13 kills, six digs and a season-high hitting percentage of .619.

“Offensively (McIntyre) was fantastic,” Olson said. “For the most part she was a very good passer as well.”

The All-MAC player said that she was excited to be back in the lineup after a week of rehabilitation and treatment.

“(Last) weekend helped me get back to good health, and I’m feeling good,” McIntyre said.

Against the Zips, the women began the match with a 10-4 lead in the first set, and cruised to the victory from that point. Olson said he was pleased with how “efficient” his squad played against Akron.

“We had a nice match against Akron,” Olson said. “We took care of the ball real well. I think when we take care of the ball we hit at a very high clip.”

Two days later, Buffalo jumped out to a commanding 8-0 lead in the first set, and never looked back taking the match in four sets.

“Obviously we didn’t like how we started,” McIntyre said. “We felt like we gave them a little hope, and it came back and bit us in the butt. We wish we would have started with more fire.”

Junior Angelique White pointed to the UB’s methodi-cal start as the main reason for the Chippewas poor per-

formance against UB.The women won the first

set of against Akron 25-16, but loss by the same score to Buf-falo in that matches first set.

“The slow start was the difference between yesterday and today,” White said. “We didn’t start off as strong as we did yesterday.”

UB was strong at the net out blocking the Chippewas 15-9. Olson said the Bison’s defense caused his team some problems throughout the match that were not there against Akron.

“The block was a little bit more of a factor against Buffalo,” he said. “We didn’t pass as well tonight. That put us in a come from behind situation.”

McIntyre finished the weekend with 30 kills in-cluding 17 against Buffalo. No other player finished with

double-digit kills in either match for the Chippewas.

“We had multiple hit-ters that just weren’t really executing the way we needed them to execute,” Olson said.

CMU’s freshman setter Kylie Copple tallied 66 as-sists on the weekend, and defensive specialist Kristen Reenders added 34 digs on the defensive end.

White, who tallied 17 kills on the weekend still believes the team has time to turn things around and get back on track.

“I wouldn’t say we’re feel-ing pressure at all,” she said. “We need to stay consistent throughout the entire match. We need to come out strong and remain strong every point from point one to point 25. From set one to set two, three, four whatever it takes to win.”

Sometimes no matter how hard you try, staying on track is extremely difficult.

It seems as if Central Michigan University’s vol-leyball team is in constant-ly in boat, on the verge of sinking. The team is 9-13 overall and a mediocre 4-6 in the Mid-American Conference.

One thing is the biggest key to success in sports: Consistency. The Chippe-was have been everything but consistent this season, and it is hard to believe that they ever will at this point.

The Chippewas are young, and some things have not gone their way, but both of those serve as poor excuses.

This was a team that was supposed to challenge for the MAC champion-ship, but as it stands today, they would be lucky to make the conference tour-nament.

This team has talent.

Players such as All-MAC selection Kaitlyn Mc-Intyre, athletic do-it-all middle blocker Angelique White and freshman sen-sation Jordan Bueter give CMU a good chance at success on paper.

The Chippewas started MAC play on a high-note coming in on a four-game win streak. Since that point, the women have failed to win back-to-back games during the conference season. If that doesn’t scream inconsis-tent, then I don’t know what does.

The women have trouble closing out matches and holding onto leads. Too many times, teams have made a comeback on CMU, stealing matches in the process.

The only consistency the team showcases is falling behind in matches early. Every match that CMU fails to win seems like déjà vu.

There is still time to get

things going in the right direction, but with what I have seen throughout the year, it’s hard to see that happening any time soon.

The team and coach Erik Olson say they talk about consistency each week.

Some of the teams CMU will play in the weekend finale are better than the teams they took on in pre-vious matches, but to be the best you have to take out the best.

The Chippewas are 1-6 against teams with overall winning records in the conference and 3-0 against the teams at the bottom of the MAC.

Potential and living up to it are two different things.

If the women want to get to where they thought they would be, they have to become more con-sistent. They have the players and the coaching staff to make it work, but showing it on the court is where it matters.

Goalkeeper Heather Laeufer recorded two clean sheets as the Central Michi-gan University soccer team kept pace in the tightening Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship race this weekend.

The Chippewas defeated Ohio 3-0 Friday before heading to Kent, Ohio and knocking off the Golden Flashes 1-0 Sunday.

The Chippewas are on a three-match winning streak for the first time this season, and have outscored their opponents 7-0 during that span.

“We always said we were going to run the race until the end,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “We have been able to do our part so far. But we still have to stay focused until we’ve com-

pleted the race.”The women appear to be

hitting their stride on both sides of the ball at the most crucial time.

Laeufer has been a rock for the CMU between the pipes. The goalkeeper faced 23 shots and made seven saves during CMU’s two most recent matches.

After starting the season as a backup, Laeufer has been good for four clean sheets in six starts.

The Chippewas’ seniors have stepped up as their fi-nal season comes to a close.

Forward Laura Gosse netted two goals against Ohio bringing her season total to eight. She became the fifth leading goal scorer in program history with the 21st of her career.

The passing of sopho-more Samantha Maher was spot-on during the weekend. She scored her

first points of the season by assisting on two goals.

“Our good play is a testa-ment to our ability to stay consistent,” McGahey said. “We have kept our composure and now everything seems to be coming together.”

CMU currently sits one point outside the final MAC West tournament spot, which is currently occupied by Western Michigan.

Peter McGahey, head coach

The hottest team in the Mid-American Conference West Division, the Chippewas, will enter their final game of the sea-son one point out of a qualifying spot in the MAC Tournament.

Head Coach Peter McGahey and his team have taken nine out of nine points during the past three matches.

CMU’s style of play has become more offensive.

The outside backs are push-ing up and almost completely eliminating the flanks from opposing teams.

Two of the biggest contribu-tors to this team’s turnaround are junior midfielder Kaelyn Korte and sophomore goalkeep-er Heather Laeufer.

Korte has contributed of-fensively and made herself com-fortable in the midfielder role.

Laeufer, won her spot on the team and has surrendered only three goals.

The team has scored more in the past few games than ever before in the season. All this while sitting one point out of a playoff spot.

tournament

The way the schedule has worked out is almost perfect for CMU. The women play their final game against a struggling Toledo team currently on a three game losing-streak.

No matter the result, the Chippewas would be the last seed in the MAC West because they have lost head-to-head to both the Broncos and the Huskies.

The form of CMU is miraculous, they haven’t given up a goal in 354 min-utes. That’s nearly six hours of match time.

The defense and goaltend-ing is unbreakable and with the momentum the Chip-pewas have heading into a Toledo match, CMU will pull off the comeback.

“We just need to take care of our business on Thurs-day,” McGahey said. “We can’t succeed unless we take all three points.”

Sometimes people know what they want to do very early in life.

Jacob Carter, a Detroit junior, is majoring in Art with a 2D concentration. He spends a lot of his time painting and draw-ing, which he has enjoyed doing since he was a child.

Central Michigan Life sat down with Carter to discuss his inspirations and future goals.

What got you into art?I would say cartoons, just

watching cartoons and wanting to draw what I saw. I was about six years old.

Do you have any inspira-tions?

Actually, one of my inspira-tions was my older brother. He can draw really well. I was always fascinated about how

Brother’s talent, ‘Peanuts’ inspire work of Detroit artist

Max Barth | Staff PhotographerJacob Carter draws a sketch for a painting he will be making on Wednesday in Wightman Hall. The image is a depiction of a Biblical story in which a woman believes touching Jesus will lead her to salvation.

it looked just like what I saw on TV, so that was one of my inspirations. Another inspira-tion was Charles Schulz, the one who does “Peanuts.” As far as cartooning, that was one of my inspirations as well.

What do you try to express in your work?

Depending on the work, like if it’s a cartoon, or whether it be a drawing or painting, I want people to take on their own interpretation. Of course, I have what I’m trying to convey, but I like people to gather their own. But things that I do really try to pinpoint is the mood. Like, for instance, if I’m doing a painting about a Bible story or some-thing like that, I want to convey the message. Even though I’m not saying anything, I want to convey how I view it or the heart of the story.

What are you trying to ac-

complish with your art?I just want people to really

enjoy it and to see that I put time and effort and whatever emotion that I’m feeling, I want them to be able to feel it as well, through the artwork.

Do you have any interest-ing processes?

It always starts out as a thought. If it’s a painting or something, I usually try to gather ideas. Painting is subjec-tive, so it all depends on what you’re trying to say. So, if I’m trying to paint a sky, with clouds and whatever, and how that makes me feel, I usually try to put it in the painting. If I’m try-ing to draw a funny cartoon, I’m trying to convey that.

Why do you paint? How does it make you feel?

I do it because it’s calming for me. It’s a way to relieve stress and get away from everything

and just put everything that I’m going through inside of my artwork, which makes for good artwork. And I just, I love doing it and I love being able to create what I want without having to be restricted to anything. You’re just doing what you feel and that’s a way to express yourself.

What’s next for you?

I’m still trying to figure that out. There’s a few different avenues that I can take and that I’m thinking about. I can see if I would be able to draw cartoons for papers like the Detroit Free Press or some-thing like that, or as far as fine arts, like drawing and painting, commissioned work, so if peo-

ple wanted me to draw their portrait or if people wanted me to draw their caricature, or if people just wanted a picture painted for them or something like that, I can do that. So there’s several avenues, and since I’m an advertising minor, I think art is really… there’s so many opportunities.

Available in Park Library to assist students with papers and projects, but librarians say many students never utilize these resources.

Students can visit the refer-ence desk in Park Library if they need a librarian, but they can also go online to the CMU library website and chat, text, email or call a librarian for assistance. Students can also schedule one-on-one appoint-ments with librarians, which is a reference consultation.

Stephanie Mathson, an instruction/reference librarian, said librarians primarily help students find sources to com-plete their papers in progress. She said the library has more than 300 research databases. They also have a SmartSearch, a tool that students can use online when looking for sources.

“We can provide strategies and assistance,” Mathson said. “We also know of resources to direct them to in the first place. We’re helping students find scholarly journal content.”

Librarians urge students to reach out to them, get help with work

Max Barth | Staff PhotographerInstruction/Reference Librarian Stephanie Mathson assists a student on Oct. 20 in Park Library.

Mathson said she helps students with a lot of different coursework including speeches, essays, business and marketing research, organic chemistry as-signments and history research.

Mathson said she’s seen memes online that call librari-ans “the original search engine.”

“We’re trained to help people

find information, and authori-tative information at that, so we can help students and save them time,” Mathson said. “Students are sometimes still hesitant to talk to librarians, so I just want them to know we’re here to help students.”

Rob Faleer, reference librar-ian, puts together course guides

for classes when instructors ask for his assistance. The course guides are made up mostly of archival items that students can use for their papers or projects in specific classes.

Faleer is also the library liaison for Student Disability Services, which he’s done for about 10 years. If a disabled

student needs one-on-one help, Faleer can help or arrange help for them.

Faleer said he’s noticed stu-dents tend to have trouble with terminology, and librarians can help with that.

“Quite often, they can go off track on a search by not us-ing the correct terminology,” Faleer said. “So we have to focus their research.”

Faculty librarians teach LIB 197, a basic research skills course. The one credit course is taught every semester during the first eight weeks. Faleer said he would recommend the course to anyone at CMU, especially freshmen and sopho-mores, regardless of their major.

“It gets them ready for a lot of the more heavily in-volved papers that they’ll be doing as juniors and seniors,” Faleer said.

Tim Peters, director of information services, oversees the reference librarians and the global campus librarians at CMU. Reference librarians are available for on-campus students, while global campus librarians are available for

online students.“Generally, that research

assistance, helping get assign-ments completed, it can also be a real time saver, because librarians quite obviously know how to locate things in the library,” Peters said. “A lot of students come in and they’ve been given an assignment to find articles. They have no idea where to start, which database to use, so on and so forth, so librarians obviously save them time by making sure they get the right database and helping them search through it.”

Peters stressed that librar-ians are here to help students be successful.

“Some people don’t look at a librarian necessarily for assistance, but that’s really what the librarians do here,” Peters said. “We help people find the resources they need so they can start writing their paper or their project or whatever it happens to be. That’s what I want students to know about us.”
