SEAN PROCTOR/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERFlint senior Rachel Burrows watches as her yellow lab, Abby, play fights with Cooper, the neighbor’s dog, Sunday eve-ning outside of her Oak Street apartment. The dogs, neither of which are fixed, have played together since Burrows moved into the apartment in August. “I have to keep an eye on them. Luckily, he doesn’t know what he’s doing, he usually just ends up humping the air,” Burrows said.

Some of Lentine’s fondest memories of April included their time snowboarding to-gether and working at Buf-falo Wild Wings, where April helped Lentine get a job.

“We would go into work and wouldn’t know we would be working together and were ecstatic when we saw each other,” Lentine said. “When I was around her, we wouldn’t even have to talk and we would both be smiling.”

Lentine said she also re-membered when April would spontaneously rap, one of her

favorite and most humorous hobbies.

“April loved to rap and, out of nowhere, she would just start rapping,” Lentine said. “We went camping once and April sat there and rapped the whole night and hardly talked.”

The funeral service for April will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at Lee-Ellena Funer-al Home in Macomb Town-ship. A visitation will be held from 2 to 9 p.m Monday at Lee-Ellena.

“I am not sure what the pur-pose of the law is,” Hill said. “If it is to be sure our students are patriotic, I am not sure a rote recitation ensures that. If it is to ensure they know what the pledge words are or mean, that can be done in a less pub-lic way by written paper.”

Hill also wondered how students would be protected from bullying or intimidation from peers.

“What concerns me is the bullying or intimidation pos-sibility,” Hill said. “How do you

stop that from occurring?”Central Michigan Univer-

sity Griffin Endowed Chair Maxine Berman also ques-tioned the importance of the bill.

“With so many people out of work in Michigan, with so many people who have lost homes, with cities like Detroit going bankrupt, how exactly will a bill requiring students to say the pledge of allegiance help?” Berman asked.

IN THE NEWSDESPITE AUTO BAILOUTS, OBAMA’S

NO CINCH TO WIN MICHIGAN NEXT YEARBy David LightmanMcClatchy Newspapers(MCT)

ROCHESTER — Ron Estrada and Kathleen Tschirhart have very different views of how much government should be aiding their ailing state, the home of America’s auto indus-try.

Estrada, an auto industry engineer, and Tschirhart, who was laid off from one casino job and quit another, are typi-cal of the voters who could de-termine who wins the pivotal state of Michigan in next year’s presidential election. It’s prob-ably the state where President Barack Obama’s economic policies should play best, since he helped save General Motors and Chrysler. Yet he’s no shoo-in.

“The more the government gets involved in bailing out auto companies, the bigger the mess down the road,” Estrada said.

He was out of work recently for two months, but he was able to get plenty of interviews and land a good job. Estrada sees government as overly bloated and intrusive. The Ox-ford resident will vote for a con-servative next fall.

Tschirhart has a different outlook. She’s training now for computer-related work. Her family was on welfare when she was younger. She likes Obama.

“He’s doing the best he can,” the Clawson resident said.

All over suburban Detroit, where people still feel the pain of auto industry turmoil, the political debate for 2012 proceeds like this: On paper,

Obama should have an easy time here. He championed the $80 billion in aid to General Motors and Chrysler, which are now rebounding and repaying the government. Democrats say his economic stimulus pro-gram helped create thousands of jobs here. And Michigan hasn’t voted Republican for president since 1988, and since 1992, Democrats have won the state easily. Obama had a 16.6 percentage-point margin in 2008.

People here expect govern-ment to help them, and they don’t expect any quick fixes. “People are so jaded. They’ve been down so long,” said Bill Ballenger, editor of Inside Michigan Politics, a nonparti-san newsletter.

They’re also realistic about how much politicians can help.

PHOTOS BY JEFF SMITH/PHOTO EDITORCorunna freshman Autumn Harris laughs while making cards for active military members serving in Kuwait with friends Saturday afternoon at her Mount Pleasant apartment. Harris’ boyfriend has been stationed in Kuwait for more than a month. “I want the soldiers to feel appreciated and I want to show them that we care,” Harris said.

Alma College sophomore Jordan Wildermuth makes a card for active military members in Kuwait during ‘Cards for Soldiers’.

CHARLOTTE BODAK/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERClare resident Aria Smylie, 3, smiles as her mother hands her the book “When I go to the farm” during the First Book Day carnival Sunday afternoon in Finch Fieldhouse.

Having a cousin who has been deployed three times, Harris said she has heard how challenging it can be to be overseas during spe-cial holidays. She wanted to do something for her boyfriend and his unit for Christmas.

Harris and several of her friends got together Sat-urday at her apartment to make about 200 cards to send to Kuwait and show their support and appre-ciation.

“It’s so awful to think that (soldiers) don’t know if people in America appreci-ate the things they are do-ing,” Harris said. “I wanted to do something to change that and instill some hope and extra morale.”

Muskegon junior Court-ney Zobl knows Harris through Alpha Gamma Delta sorority and helped to make cards.

“I know it really hits close

to home as well as (with) thousands of other Ameri-cans,” Zobl said. “It’s great when people take a minute out of their schedules to thank and remember those serving overseas.”

Autumn Grey, a junior at Oakland Community Col-lege, went to high school with the couple and said she would have never seen the match coming, but knows both of them per-sonally and thinks Harris handles the distance well.

“It takes a strong person to deal with a relationship in the (military),” Grey said. “However, instead of being sad, Autumn thinks of ways to help him over-seas.”

The cards will be sent to Hovis and he will distrib-ute them to his friends and other units. He told Harris many of the soldiers are already looking forward to their card.

The units are in training camp doing different reac-tion scenarios and train-ing before being sent to Afghanistan. They will be there between 10 months and a year.

Harris said 100 other cards are being sent to her

before she mails them in December.

For more information on her project or to par-ticipate, Harris can be con-tacted at [email protected].

though she is not an enlisted soldier.The Corunna sophomore maintains a long-dis-

tance relationship with her boyfriend Ryan Hovis, who is stationed at a U.S. Army base in Kuwait.

Although Harris has been in other long-distance relationships, she said nothing can compare to dat-ing someone in the military. They are able to keep in contact through Facebook and phone calls, but she said nothing is ever certain.

“It’s definitely a different dynamic to a relation-ship,” Harris said. “You find yourself spending a lot of time being alone when most people would have given up. It’s not just for giggles and you really have to know that the relationship is worth waiting for.”

First Book Day supported children’s literacy efforts with activities for a second year.

On Sunday, First Book, a nonprofit organization dedi-cated to promoting literacy by providing low income children, brought children to Finch Fieldhouse room 113 for activities such as reading with local police and fire-fighters and face-painting.

First Book Vice President Lindsay Adams said the

event’s second year went great.

“It seems like we have about the same amount of kids showing up,” the Jack-son senior said. “But I feel like we’re just so much more organized and there are a lot more games and activities to offer.”

The money raised through First Book Day will be used to purchase new books to distribute to children in the community.

Adams said the most pop-ular event was reading with Dog Tales.

Dog Tales, a nonprofit lit-eracy mentor organization that uses therapeutic dogs to help children read, was one group present at the First Book Day.

Betty Louis, Dog Tales founder and coordinator, said children cannot prog-ress in school without a good foundation in reading.

Louis said the dogs take away some of the stress chil-dren have while reading.

“The dogs wag their tails,” she said. “They’re not tell-ing them what book to read, they’re not saying ‘Oh, you skipped that word,’ or ‘You didn’t read as well as Joey did,’ they just wag their tail and they’re excited to see them.”

Louis said many children are limited when they learn to read, but not because they are not smart.

“A lot of it is a self-esteem issue,” she said. “Many times it’s just because they don’t

read as fast or they don’t feel they read as well as some-body else.”

Mike Mezei attended First Book Day with his three daughters, Gabriella, Franc-esca and Olivia. The Mount Pleasant resident said his family would just be hanging around their house on a typi-cal Sunday if not for the event.

“It’s something to do on a Sunday,” Mezei said. “We get to get out of the house and do something nice.”

Mezei said he will definite-ly be bringing his daughters back for First Book Day next year.

“It’s always good to see your kids buying books,” he said.

Central Michigan Univer-sity is one of 15 Michigan institutions with $46 mil-lion reserved to help low-income students.

The seven-year grant was awarded by the U.S. De-partment of Education to Michigan’s Martin Luther King-Cesar Chávez-Rosa Parks Initiative. It will help guide and fund the Gaining Early Awareness and Readi-ness for Undergraduate Programs.

“We start with seventh grade and work with a co-hort of students and work with them through their first year of college,” said Denise Green, associate vice president for Institu-tional Diversity.

Pre-college programs of-fered at the high school level include cultural trips, academic prep-tutoring, college counseling and in-formation about financial aid, she said.

The GEAR UP program started about 20 years ago and provides a pipeline for low-income, first-genera-tion students, Green said.

Central Michigan Univer-sity works with more than 600 low-income students in the Flint Community School District, Green said. Stu-dents are typically qualified for the program if they qual-ify for free or reduced lunch.

According to a USA Today article, 4.5 million Ameri-can students are both first-generation and low income.

“Her (Brimhall’s) first book, ‘Rookery’ incorporates a lot of natural imagery and birds,” said Robert Fanning, profes-sor of English language and literature. “It is structured around different definitions of the term ‘rookery’ (a colony of breeding birds).”

Fanning said Brimhall’s po-ems are highly lyrical, deeply moving and extremely engag-ing, and Brimhall’s poems are often centered on relation-ships, typically human rela-tionships.

“They’re powerful poems that incorporate dream imag-ery,” Fanning said. “They also find where dream life and the waking life intersect.”

Fanning said he chose a cel-list for the accompanying po-etry because Brimhall’s work reminds him of low chords, not depressing, but heavy.

Brimhall teaches creative writing at Western Michigan University where she is also a doctoral candidate. She is the poetry editor for “Third Coast”

and editor at large for “Loaded Bicycle.”

“The natural world in (Brim-hall’s) book with its violence often becomes a metaphor for human relationships,” Fan-ning said.

Fanning and Assistant Cen-tral Review Assistant Editor and Elk Rapids senior John Priest agreed Jajuga’s poetry will com-pliment Brimhall’s poetry well.

“Leigh’s work also contains natural, spiritual and human themes,” Fanning said.

Fanning and Priest agreed Jajuga’s work was influenced by Brimhall’s book.

“They both have similar threads in their work, while being very introspective,” Priest said.

Priest compared pairing Ja-juga with any other Wellspring poet as pairing white wine with a sharp cheddar; they wouldn’t go well together.

Priest said it is inspiring for Jajuga to be reading with Brimhall.

Fanning said the creative writing program at Central Michigan University has more readings every semester than any other program he is famil-iar with.

Brimhall’s forthcoming book “Our Lady of the Ruins” was selected in 2011 for the Barnard Women Poet’s Prize.

Snyder said funding for uni-versities next year could like-ly be based on how well the schools achieve specific per-formance standards such as graduation rates or specialized degrees awarded.

The details of how to best im-plement these standards are be-ing studied in Lansing this year.

Michigan is not alone in this possible change — 17 other states are implementing or studying performance funding.

The biggest concern with materializing this plan is being able to concisely establish ex-actly what information receiv-ing funding would be based on.

One of the goals of receiving funding based on levels of per-formance is to push universi-ties to graduate more students which will, according to the arti-cle, create more skilled employ-ees to drive the state economy.

Snyder wants to use goals that

can be measured year-to-year to help determine where next year’s $1.2 billion in university funding in Michigan will go.

Simply looking at the num-ber of graduates each Michigan university produces is a good place to start, but is has a realis-tic potential of altering educa-tion in one of two ways.

First, professors could take the initiative to push students to work harder, but the ques-tion of how exactly to do that still exists. Pushing students to excel is an already-established principle in the teaching world, so one would assume they are extending their teaching capa-bilities as much as possible al-ready.

It seems the more likely out-come would be Central Michi-gan University lowering its standards and make classes easier to achieve a higher num-ber of graduates each year, to

therefore increase the funding we receive.

Another standard funding could be based on is the number of specialized degrees awarded to students. How well students are performing and how many are graduating is more impor-tant than the specific field of study they are pursuing. It’s common knowledge that differ-ent Michigan universities spe-cialize in distinctive fields, so why favor one over another — it would become clear where the funding would go.

This may be a step in the right direction to determine how universities will be supported, especially after lawmakers cut 15 percent in state aid this year from each state university’s bud-get. But, the cost this could have on universities lowering their standards just to make out with some funding would most likely have an overall negative effect.

Now it’s just a game of waiting until a firm plan is announced. Hopefully shuffling graduates out the door to increase fund-ing does not overshadow mak-ing sure graduates are properly educated before they are re-leased into the workforce.

Best choice?According to a report published in the

Detroit Free Press, Gov. Rick Snyder said a portion of state aid for 15 public uni-

versities in Michigan could now rely on new requirements. Three weeks after the new keg

law has taken effect, I would like to be the first to extend my hand in congratulations to the Michigan lawmakers and police.

For anyone unaware, the new ad-dition to the musty tome of Michigan law requires retailers to tag every keg sold with the purchaser’s name, ad-dress, phone number, social security number, criminal history and medical history, so when the cavalry busts up a party of delinquents having a good time, the cops can identify the mon-ster who bought the booze.

With the passage of the new law, our legislators have finally earned their franking privileges and come to a cognizant agreement on an issue more important than pork, casework or dreams of gerrymandering: they’ve decided to crack down on broke college students bemoaning cuts to higher education and drowning their sorrows in sweet keg beer by giving the cops a chance to say, “Buck up, chump. A court date for the friend whose name is on this tag will sure teach your conscience a lesson.”

I applaud the foresight of the Michi-gan Congress in seeing there is no better teacher than fear and guilt. The theory, of course, is the terror of land-ing a friend in trouble and the remorse felt once that friend has been slapped with a hefty fine will ward against impropriety and make upstanding citizens of us all.

We can’t fight terrorism when we’re drunk and we can’t apply for a job holding a plastic red cup. Our elected officials have once again shown they’re in it for the long term by making it easy for the underage to start doing things more productive, like contributing money to a political campaign.

So lawmakers will no doubt squawk with delight when they learn that not one party has taken place since Nov. 1, the day the law went into effect.

In fact, just last Saturday night I found my roommate, normally a ruthless partier, excessive drinker and therefore terrible person, in his room at his desk diligently calculating the limit of an equation. He doesn’t even have math this semester.

Surprised, I asked him about the sudden change of behavior. Surely on a Saturday night he should be bong-ing Keystone, getting into fights and chasing after women — keg law or no keg law.

Without missing a beat he said, “Well, once our lawmakers made it il-legal, I just knew there had to be some-thing wrong with going to parties.”

There was twinkle in his eye and a strain in his voice as he spoke. “Why would they outlaw it if it wasn’t mor-ally wrong? Everyone knows, after all, that our legislators know best.”

He added genuinely, “Thank God for the Michigan Congress.”

There’s a point where social media users have crossed the line between “socializing” and creeping.

When a complete stranger (Face-book “friend”) knows you, knows what you did last weekend, your relationship status, where you work and who your roommate is, without even knowing you, that has more than crossed that line.

Unless you’re a Kardashian or Paris Hilton or really know that many people, there is no reason to have that many friends.

I am confident to say I can at least recognize the name of the 535 people I am Facebook friends with.

But, in all honesty, I would con-sider less than 50 of those people to be real friends.

When did this obsession with knowing everyone’s business begin? I admit it, I scroll through pictures of people from high school I haven’t talked to in a couple years just to see how awesome they make their lives look via Facebook.

But if I actually talked to them, I guarantee their lives wouldn’t be as amazing as their pictures and uplift-ing status updates make it seem.

And for the people who constant-ly post depressing status updates on how bad their lives suck, that’s just pathetic. That’s what real friends are for, so tell someone who actually cares about you.

Facebook does have its perks. I stay in touch with friends and have a good time doing it, but I rarely find those people I just talk to on Facebook giving me a call just to see what’s up. It’s easier to just scroll through my page.

The problem I have is the power social media has to make our lives less personal. I miss the days when my old friends would call me to fig-ure out how I was or learn about the new adventures I have embarked on since going to college.

I called a good high school friend of mine the other day and she said to me, “Your Facebook makes it seem like you’re having the time of your life.” She already made the assumption without even asking me one question about my life.

With more than 800 million active users, it’s a good place to get the dirt. I wouldn’t be aware of the 15 girls I graduated with who are preg-nant if it wasn’t for Facebook. I’m sure Mark Zuckerberg didn’t know what he was getting himself into back in 2004.

Next time I am tempted to engage in an hour-long creep session of my long-lost friends, maybe I will consider calling them instead. They may wonder why I am so old-fashioned to connect with them this way, but at least I will have a sincere, one-on-one communica-tion with a friend who I really know nothing about anymore.

Comments in response to “Re-design of CMU’s website to cost $550,000”

John Evan Miller, FridayWebsites are essential with so

many people utilizing the internet when searching for institutions of higher education. It’ll be interesting to see if this improvement is worth the price.

KingGeorgeMustGo, FridayAnd whether it’ll be worth the

ongoing maintenance, estimated to be around $24,000... per MONTH!! I wonder how many faculty mem-bers’ health insurance cuts could be covered by that? We used to handle the website maintenance in-house; now it’s being outsourced. In these “tough times,” is CMU being fiscally responsible, putting websites and buildings and pet projects ahead of people and programs?

John D, SaturdayYou could probably pay some ge-

nius student somewhere $2,000 to do the same job. I remember when they made the new iCentral de-sign... I couldn’t even figure out how to check my dang e-mail. Just stop trying to be fancy... this is why Apple is what it is. It’s simple, it works. This new website is going to have stuff flying around everywhere. What a waste.

Mille5jc, Saturday“CMU decided to partner with

Blue Chip Consulting Group in Ohio, for the website redesign pri-marily because there was more work to be done than could be achieved through campus resources. He said Blue Chip was selected through a competitive request.”

Why not save a few thousand dol-lars and hire some web design and graphic art majors? I never would

have guessed developing college websites costs such a hefty penny...

Michmediaperson, Saturday, in re-ply to Mille5jc

Exactly!This could be a university-wide

project for students. Pay them mini-mum wage or they can do it for an internship and gain credit hours. Their call.

By the way, I went on Blue Chip’s website. I sure don’t see anything special about it. In fact, I like our current website.

The Granholm Board should stop this!! The Granholm-appointed President Ross and our lousy mar-keting department get paid big bucks to do dumb things like this!

McCormick Morton, SaturdayWhy do we need to spend so

much? Isn’t this why we have grad students.

Mille5jc, Saturday in reply to Mc-Cormick Morton

Exactly! CMU has enough tal-ented people to tackle a web-site development project such as this! We could probably pay them less, at least by half, and still have an amazing, new, web-site. I don’t understand why this university, and other uni-versities for that matter, don’t invest in their own people and programs, especially when it in-volves $550,000!

Rmoskun, SaturdayThe Economy is down, yet they

can spend 550k on a web site, must be nice to have the money in the world (to waste)... The school would be better served turning the web over to a non profit to run... sell some ads on the side and give the 550K back to the students and teachers...

Comments in response to “Toledo wins 44-17 in CMU season finale”

Deegodschild, SaturdayI feel sorry for the seniors who had

to end there season like this..... I re-ally feel sorry for the rest of the team who have to come back for another losing season with Dan Enos as head coach. The morale is low.... Whatever happened to Fire Up Chips!

Chipalum, SaturdayThe program is headed in the

right direc tion. I would com-pare this to the Mike. Years. The shelves were empty when he got here and he built the talent level back up. Let’s not forget Kelly won with mostly his guys. (Staley, Ba-zuin, etc) I wish the performance were better too but it hasn’t. Dan should be judged on who his guys do which are still a couple of years away. CMU was outstanding in the 70’s 80’s and halfway through the 90’s because of continuity of the program. Let’s hope we can do that again with Dan!

Central 87, Saturday, in reply to Chipalum

This program is NOT headed in the right direction. We finished 3-9 two seasons in a row. The team lost several tight games last year, but we were blown out nearly every game this year. The same record, but get-ting blown opposed to being in the game is not a positive direction. We have some nice looking fresh-men coming back next year, so the recruiting is looking good, but the coaching is sad.

CE, Sunday, in reply to ChipalumGood thing you aren’t an econo-

mist. Petty minds go famously well with petty hearts. If this is the “right direction,” they’ll be shooting Ricola commercials in K/S Stadium!

PHOTOS BY CHUCK MILLER/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERThe Big Cats dodgeball team gets pumped up for their first match in Saturday’s Dodging Budget Cuts charity dodgeball tournament held at the Student Activity Center.

By Jordan SpenceSenior Reporter

Jordy Brengosz was all anyone could talk about Saturday at the Dodg-ing Budget Cuts dodgeball tournament.

After all of her fellow teammates were elimi-nated, Brengosz was left to take on six members of the opposing team. In less than one minute, the Wis-consin freshman managed to eliminate four of the six members, though her team did not come out on top in the end.

Brengosz was on one of 20 teams that competed in the four-minute games at the Student Activity Cen-ter which raised $4,000 for Mount Pleasant school dis-trict athletic programs.

“At first I was looking to dodge,” Brengosz said. “Then I would catch them when they were off-guard and knock them out.”

Elizabeth Schneider or-ganized the event as part of a class project for PES 320: Foundations of Sport Man-agement. The class required the Romeo senior and her classmates to put on an event to benefit the com-munity.

The money raised from the event will be donated to the Mount Pleasant Booster Club.

“We saw the budget cuts Mount Pleasant had faced and we wanted to help out,” Schneider said. “The money we help raise here will help

reduce transportation costs for the Mount Pleasant ath-letic program.”

Schneider said they also collected gently used equipment to donate to lo-cal schools.

Muskegon junior Jeremy Rank said he was excited to participate in the compe-tition because he had not played dodgeball since sev-enth grade.

One of the only all-fe-male teams, the Big Cats, said they brought the in-timidation factor when they played.

“We wanted to support the local high school be-cause we all love athletics,” said Illinois junior Elise Ford.

After losing their first game, the Big Cats decided

to switch up their strategy and focus on catching and attacking their opponets more, said Dearborn junior Paige Bruce.

Even after trying some new strategies, the Big Cats lost their second game.

The team Pecan Sandies said they were able to get to the final four mostly be-cause of luck.

“The game is about 30 percent skill and 70 percent luck,” said Byron Center senior Matt Erdmans. “We shouldn’t even be doing this good.”

In the end The Big Cats, DDD and the Pecan Sand-ies were not able to match Hugo’s Heroes, the winners of the tournament.

Dodgeball tournament raises $4,000 for local school athletics

By Jessica FecteauSenior Reporter

Participants off all ages “fowl shot” their way to a good cause Sunday afternoon at the fourth-annual Turkey Shoot Out.

Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation hosted the event at Morey Courts, 5175 E. Re-mus Road, to raise canned goods for the Isabella Com-munity Soup Kitchen, 621 S. Adams St.

“(We are) giving back to a place that gives back to the community during this time of the year,” said Assistant Recreation Coordinator Kevin Troshak.

Participants took shots at making free throws to win a gift card from Kroger, the Central Michigan University Bookstore or LaBelle Manage-ment. Other prizes included footballs and sports bags.

“We try to cater to every age group since there is such a large range,” Troshak said.

Ashlii Barlow, recreation assistant of Mount Pleasant Parks and Recreation, said there were four different age divisions: 9 and under, 10 to 12, 13 to 16, and 17 and older.

“Volunteers keep track of the number of foul shots made, and winners are who had the most shots in each group division,” Barlow said.

Mount Pleasant resident Colin Macgregor said he was not there to win a prize.

Macgregor was asked by a Parks and Recreation volun-teer to participate while he was shooting baskets in Mo-rey Court’s gym.

“I come to Morey Courts a couple times a week,” the 15-year-old said. “I made 17 out of 20 shots.”

Recreation Coordinator Carol Moody said during this

time of the year the need goes up at the Isabella Community Soup Kitchen.

“It’s a good opportunity to stock the shelves and be able to give that to families who need it,” she said.

The need at the kitchen is much higher this year be-cause of the poor economic times, Isabella Community Soup Kitchen Administrative Assistant Linda Harris said in a previously published report.

About 50 more people a day are coming into the kitchen for their daily meals compared to previous years, Harris said.

Last year the event raised about 30 to 45 cans and Tro-shak said they are looking to double that this year.

“It’s really a fun event,” he said. “You don’t have to be great at basketball, it’s mainly to raise canned goods.”

Turkey Shoot Out collects canned goods for soup kitchen

Indiana senior Wade Buchs prepares to throw the ball in Saturday’s charity dodgeball tournament at the Student Activity Center.

The U.S. Department of Education reported 748,000 of those students were helped through this program in the 2010 fiscal year.

“The program is excellent,” Green said. “It provides stu-dents an opportunity to con-sider college, to learn about college and prepare for col-

lege, and eventually attend a college of their choice.”

Kevin Madison, graduate student and former GEAR UP intern, said he is trying to eradicate poverty by educa-tion.

“What I would take away most is how important the need is in the Flint com-munity,” he said. “There is a large population of students that need information on the process of applying and at-tending school.”

In addition to being ex-posed to college campuses, students are encouraged to take AP courses, elective courses and attend cultural awareness events, Madison said.

“We help them so they have a solid foot once they get there,” he said. “We help them realize college is acces-sible, achievable and afford-able.”

A 44-17 loss is the last game mem-ory the Central Michigan football se-niors have.

The Toledo offense rocketed through the CMU defense, winning in front of 12,741 fans at Kelly/Shorts Stadium Friday night.

The Chippewas finished the sea-son 3-9 — the same record as last season.

“We fell short of our goals and that’s going to hurt for awhile,” said quarterback Ryan Radcliff.

Toledo jumped out to an early lead with two rushing touchdowns from senior running back Adonis Thomas.

CMU started a comeback after a 3-yard touchdown pass from Rad-cliff to freshman wide receiver Titus Davis. It was the seventh time those

two hooked up for touchdowns. After a David Harman field goal the score was 14-10 Toledo, but that was the closest it got.

Toledo scored the next 23 points with two passing touchdowns from sophomore quar-terback Terrence Owens and three field goals.

The Rockets scored more than 60 points the past two games. Enos thought the CMU defense did a good job containing them outside of a blown coverage for

Talent wasn’t enough for the Central Michigan women’s basket-ball team as it lost its third-straight game Sunday.

The Chippewas failed to get their first win of the season as they fell to the Pittsburgh Panthers 77-70.

The key stretch came at the five-minute mark when a steal and layup by freshman guard Jessica Green made the score 64-60 in fa-vor of Pitt. On the next possession senior forward Skylar Miller went to the line with a chance to cut the lead to two, but missed both free throws. Pittsburgh went 7-for-9 from the line, pulling away for the win.

Freshman guard Crystal Brad-

ford, who had 18 points, led the team in scoring. Freshman for-ward Jas’Mine Bracey had 16 and Green scored nine.

The Chippewas started the game with a different starting line-up, including Bradford, Green and Bracey along with fellow freshman Kerby Tamm and sophomore Niki DiGuilio.

“I thought the lineup change helped,” said head coach Sue Gue-vara. “It got some people’s atten-tion.”

CMU’s young team was effec-tive, but the inexperience of the Chippewas showed in crucial points of the game.

“We need to learn that you can’t do it all by yourself,” Guevara said. “ For a lot of the game, we did a good job passing the ball and then at the end of the game we had

freshmen playing one on one and we turned the ball over.”

The Panthers jumped out to an early lead with two-straight baskets from sophomore guard Marquel Davis. Pittsburgh never trailed in the game.

CMU struggled to score early, trailing 14-4 eight minutes into the game before a 7-0 run cut the lead to two. It continued to cut the lead down to two and three throughout the first half, but every time the Panthers responded with a run of their own.

CMU committing 26 turnovers for the second time this season.

“We need to fix the turnovers,” Guevara said. “We have a young team and it’s expected, but what I want to see us do is to be smarter

MAC CHAMPIONS

GENEVA, Ohio – Cinderella almost always spoils the ball.

It was the first Mid-American Conference championship since 1982 for

the Central Michigan volleyball team and it made the most of it, ousting No. 1 Northern Illinois

in five sets Sunday, winning the championship. “‘This is ours,’ that’s all I heard,” said head coach

Erik Olson about the team’s talk on the bench. In five, loud and fast-paced sets, NIU was sent

home early from the party when freshman outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre smashed the ball for a 15-11 win.

CMU had a 2-0 match lead into the break, but the No. 16 team in the nation evened it up, sending it into a fifth and deciding set.

line and make free throws.” Pitt was led by Davis, who

had 26 points. Freshman Bri-anna Kiesel added 24 points

Junior guard Brandie Baker scored her first seven points of the season com-ing off of the bench for the

Chippewas. “I thought it was better

than last game,” Guevara said. “We worked the ball well against their zone and I saw some good things. We’re going to go through some growing pains, but we’re go-

ing to grow.”Central’s next game is

Wednesday against South Florida in the first of two games in the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaskan Shootout.

a long touchdown.“I thought the defense

played well and the offense on third down played horrible,” Enos said.

The CMU offense sput-tered, much to do with only

picking up one first down on 11 third down attempts.

“One-for-11 on third down, that’s the key to the game,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “It’s nothing they did, we just didn’t execute.”

Toledo’s offense stayed bal-anced throughout the game, gaining more than 200 yards both rushing and passing. The Rockets finished with 511 to-

tal yards. CMU threw for 233 yards.

Radcliff and Davis connect-ed again in the fourth quarter for a touchdown, although, Radcliff overthrew numer-ous receivers throughout the night, including one for an in-terception.

“I don’t think Ryan played very well,” Enos said. “He was out of sync. He missed a cou-

ple of open receivers that he hasn’t missed this year.”

Owens added a rushing touchdown, making it a three-score game. The Rockets are tied atop the Mid-American Conference East division at 6-1.

Junior wide receiver Cody Wilson played through a foot injury and made a re-ception, extending his re-

ceptions streak to 29 games.Toledo freshman kicker Jer-

emiah Detmer finished the first half with a 50-yard field goal.

Senior linebacker Mike Pe-trucci played in his last game for the Chippewas, recording a career-high 13 tackles.

Many seniors who saw lim-ited time during the year got to see more of the field.

Cotton had a 48-yard run as time expired, but was pushed out of bounds by the last To-ledo defender. He fell to the ground with emotion after his last career play for the Chip-pewas.

“(Cotton) came in with me, so it’s weird to see him leave,” Radcliff said.

LOSS |CONTINUED FROM 1B

The Chippewas had the chance to win it in set four, but allowed NIU to take it into that final set.

“I was a little uneasy on the bench going into game five, but the players were on a mission,” Olson said.

The momentum CMU rode in the championship had been built over the last two days with 3-0 wins against No. 2 Ohio on Saturday and No. 3 Western Michigan on Friday.

“This is what aggressiveness will bring to you,” Olson said. “It was learned against Ohio, at

Ohio.” Sophomore setter Kelly

Maxwell said the team was not shaken before the decisive fifth set against NIU.

“Our whole team was just

on fire,” Maxwell said. “We love game fives.”

One of the first things Olson did after handshakes and brief celebrations was study the stat sheets from all five sets. The

work is not over with games against Long Beach State and UC-Irvine on Friday and Sat-urday.

“‘We have a big moment,’” Olson said to the team before the game. “I said, ‘Let’s go out there and take it to them. And they did.”

Senior middle blocker Kait-lyn Schultz was awarded as the MAC-Tournament MVP and MAC All-Tournament team. Maxwell also earned a spot on the MAC All-Tournament team.

“We passed really well and played good enough defense,” McIntyre said. “Kelly (Maxwell) had some really good passes and let me go up there and do my thing.”

Maxwell ran the offense

through the good and the bad on the day, finishing the match with 59 assists.

“Our whole team was on fire tonight,” Maxwell said. “We al-ways talk about how we have to put everything together and this was the time to do it and we did.”

CMU travels to California next weekend, taking on Long Beach State and UC-Irvine, before finding out who it plays in two weeks to start off the NCAA Tournament.

“It’s the first time we’re go-ing to the NCAA Tournament and we’re really excited,” said sophomore libero Jenna Coates. “We don’t know who we’re playing, but it’s an awe-some feeling.”

The Chippewas head to their next ball — but none like it has ever been invited to before — their first-ever NCAA Tourna-ment on Dec. 2 and 3 once it finishes regular season play against Long Beach State and UC-Irvine. The tournament location has yet to be deter-mined.

Melissa McIntyre, mother of freshman outside hitter Kaitlyn, said she left her home in Bea-ver Dam, Wis. this weekend to make the championship.

“I drove at five o’clock Satur-day to get here,” she said while watching the team celebrate. “It’s an eight-and-a-half hour drive, but I had to get here.”

Senior middle-blocker Kait-lyn Schultz’s is having a mem-orable end to her career.

She recorded career kill No. 1,000, won her fourth All-MAC honor, was named to the All-MAC Tournament team, won the tournament’s most valuable player award and her Chippewas are now MAC champions, going to the NCAA Tournamemt.

“Winning the MVP is prob-ably the biggest honor of my life,” Schultz said. “It’s a great achievement.”

The Highland native was a dominating force in the MAC Tournament, recording 44 kills, nine blocks and four aces as CMU took down the top three teams on its way to claiming the championship.

“I can’t do it without every-body else and winning the tournament was awesome,” Schultz said.

The Chippewas have a 58-51 record during her career. She has called three different venues home (Rose Arena, Finch Fieldhouse and Mc-Guirk Arena) and now brings

back the school’s first-ever MAC title.

“She (Schultz) is our first four-time All-MAC player,” said head coach Erik Olson. “She is a phenomenal player and she really grew as a block-er in this final season. She is an offensive player, but she figured out blocking in the offseason and that was huge for her.”

Schultz started out her ca-reer as Miss Michigan Vol-leyball Player of the Year. She followed up the hype by being named as MAC Freshman of the Year in her first season.

She recorded a hitting per-centage of .341 that ranked second in the MAC and earned her the second All-MAC honor as a sophomore.

She found a solid connec-tion with sophomore setter Kelly Maxwell and it has paid off in a big way for Schultz, Maxwell and the rest of the MAC Champions.

Her junior year she record-ed her biggest kill total of 24 in a loss against Miami of Ohio in last seasons MAC Tourna-ment and earned her third All-MAC honor.

“Everything just fell in place

for me, it was amazing and I’m glad I had this team to do it with, I love them,” Schultz said. “Now it’s time for the NCAA Tournament and we’re

going to play it like we did here and not care who is on the other side of the net.”

Central Michigan head coach Ernie Zeigler said the next step for his team is to have some success offen-sively.

If the Chippewas have success in their third game at 10 p.m. today against Pep-perdine, they will have to do it against a mostly zone de-fense.

“We’re going to have to be able to execute against their zone,” Zeigler said. “They’re going to be a team playing a 2-3 zone at least 50 percent or more.”

Offensively, the Waves go through senior center Tay-lor Darby. He does his work in the low post and fights his way to the free-throw line.

“They do a really good job trying to isolate Taylor Dar-by, their best inside player,” Zeigler said.

Senior forward Andre Co-imbra most likely will be matched up on Darby, who’s shooting above 50 percent from the field.

“We got a couple defen-sive schemes to take away some of their plays,” said CMU sophomore guard Derek Jackson. “Try not to give their big man a lot of touches.”

It will be Central’s first road game of the season and Zeigler is anxious to

see how his team reacts to the different scenery.

“The road usually brings tough things for the vis-iting team,” Zeigler said. “Tough calls, crowd and the scenery and when your playing that become dis-tractions.”

CMU’s offense looks to run more this season, but hasn’t gotten off to a good start with the scheme af-ter putting up 90-plus points in its two exhibition games.

The team scored 65 in the win against Ferris State on Nov. 12 and 77 in a dou-ble overtime loss against Charlotte on Tuesday.

Pepperdine’s most no-table win came Tuesday, winning 66-60 against Ari-zona State in Tempe, Az.

Junior guard Caleb Wil-lis is someone who must be contained by CMU. He’s averaging 9.7 points per game and 3.3 assists.

CMU travels to Alaska for the Great Alaska Shootout, facing New Mexico State on Friday or Saturday.

Team wants to limit touches for Taylor Darby

By Justin HicksSenior Reporter

The injury-plagued 2011 se-nior class capped off their fi-nal collegiate season Friday as the Central Michigan football team fell to Toledo 44-17.

As the experienced Chip-pewas lined the field at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, the announc-er introduced each player, thanking them for their com-mitment to the program.

Many of those seniors were unfortunately in sweats and unable to take the field one last time.

“You can hang the word perseverance out there cause I think every single person on the senior class missed at least one game with an injury with the exception of John Carr and Brandon Fricke,” said head coach Dan Enos. “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.”

In total, nine seniors missed time due to injury, three of them only appearing in six or less games.

Defensive co-captains John Williams and Mike Petrucci were each given the challenge of leading their team from the sidelines.

Williams suffered a season-ending injury in week four after recording 16 tackles through the first four games. He finishes his career with 94 tackles and four fumble re-coveries.

Petrucci played in eight games at linebacker, record-ing 62 tackles. He recorded a career-high 13 tackles in his collegiate finale.

“Mike played very well,” Enos said Friday. “He’s a lead-er and a tough guy and does everything right. Not having him for several games this year hurt us and it was im-portant for him to play well tonight and he did.”

Senior cornerback Taylor Bradley ended his season in week three when he tore his Achilles tendon against Western Michigan. He was replaced by John Carr, who recorded five tackles in his fi-nal game as a Chippewa.

“I wish we could have pulled it out, but I’ve got a lot of confidence in these kids and all the experience from this year will help them out

next season,” Carr said, who recorded his first career inter-ception, helping CMU beat Akron.

One of CMU’s most consis-tent weapons on offense this season was tight end David Blackburn, though an injury sidelined him against Toledo.

He recorded 34 receptions for 479 yards and five scores in his senior season, includ-ing a record day at Ball State in which he caught nine passes for 194 yards and two touchdowns.

“It was huge (not having Blackburn Friday) and we had some mental errors at tight end that hurt us,” Enos said. “He may not always show up on the stat sheet of having eight catches, but he did so many other things for us.”

Paris Cotton gave all he had for the Chippewas, down to the last whistle Friday, bust-ing out a 48-yard run as the clock expired Friday. He fin-ished the season with 409 yards on the ground and 166 through the air, despite deal-ing with an injury.

“That’s the CMU tradition since I’ve been here,” Cotton said. “Going all-out has been the norm and that was just

another example of it.”The senior ends his career

with 1,894 rushing yards over four years at running back.

“I’m leaving here with a good taste in my mouth that the rest of the younger cast can turn this thing around,” Cotton said.

Offensive lineman Rocky Weaver holds the most starts (35) of any active Chippewas, missing the final four games of his senior season with a knee injury.

Enos allowed a couple of seniors take the field in their final collegiate game Friday.

Wide receiver Cedric Fraser caught a 22-yard pass early in the first quarter, appear-ing in his fourth game of the season. He finishes his career with 243 yards receiving.

Landon Carter got his third start of the season at fullback and quarterback Brandon Fricke came in for the final minute of the season, hand-ing the ball off to Cotton.

The CMU football team says goodbye to wide receiver Jeremy Wilson, long snapper Brian Bennihoff and defen-sive ends Jason Chomic and Keshawn Fraser.

Bruised seniors cap football seasonInjuries forceunderclassmento step up

A good coach needs passion for his job.

He needs to be wealthy in his knowledge of the sport.

He needs to know how to build up a talented roster.

Finally, a quality coach needs to win games.

Following Dan Enos’ second consecutive 3-9 season, I was only confident that he brought two of those things to the table.

As a former Michigan State quarterback and football coach of nine different universities, I didn’t doubt his football knowledge.

With young guys like Titus Davis, Courtney Williams, Anthony Garland, Cody Lopez and Ryan Petro on roster, it would be hard to argue Enos’ ability to bring in quality recruits.

What I have thought he has lacked has been his decision making down the stretch, his passion and obviously tallies in the win column.

Sitting in on his post-game press conference, I realized he has more passion than I’ve given him credit for.

Enos said he had a hard time comparing his two seasons at CMU.

“I think there’s been a significant improvement that wasn’t in the record, but as I

look at our program, I think we practiced better, had discipline issues; the things people don’t see,” he said.

In 18 minutes after the game, Enos talked about the talent CMU has, position-by-position.

He talked about his confi-dence in junior quarterback Ryan Radcliff, whose ability has been overshadowed by the team’s need to play catch-up consistently.

Enos showed a mix of emotions that proved to me his heart in this program and he has obviously proved that to Athletics Director Dave Heeke, who isn’t letting Enos

go just yet.He has expressed confi-

dence in his coach’s passion and ability to rebuild CMU’s football team, calling him the future of the program.

While I don’t fully agree with all of Enos’ coaching de-cisions, he should have a little more time to prove his ability with such drastic changes made to the team’s scheme and roster.

Enos changed up the of-fensive scheme from Brian Kelly and Butch Jones’ spread to more of a pro-style of-fense and it’s not going to be changed back with him run-ning the show.

Many people calling for his job want it back to the way they were ran under Kelly and Jones and that’s not going to happen in the near future.

Such a switch back would require another two years of rebuilding and even more disappointment with CMU football.

Put away your “Fire Enos” signs for one more year and if this team doesn’t finish with a winning record next season, by all means he’s yours.

As for the 2012 season, Radcliff described this team’s mentality well:

“Chin down, head up and keep fighting.”

Enos deserves more credit than he gets

How thankful are you to have four and a half days off for Thanksgiving break?

The Central Michigan men’s basketball team faces a trip across the country for eight days this break.

“You become immune to it,” said head coach Ernie Zei-gler. “When you make a com-mitment to basketball as your sport, you’re accustomed to missing different holidays.”

Zeigler said many freshmen are used to missing holidays for different basketball tour-naments.

“My freshman year I re-ally wanted to go home,” said sophomore guard Derek Jack-son. “Hopefully I still get some Thanksgiving food.”

The Chippewas face Pep-perdine at 10 p.m. today in Malibu, Calif. Afterward, they fly to Seattle and go to Alaska for the Great Alaska Shootout.

Prom there takes them to Phoenix before California. Zeigler looks forward to the team being away from home and together for team bond-ing.

Men’s basketball travels over Thanksgiving break

BETHANY WALTER/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERSophomore guard Trey Zeigler reacts after a play during the game against the University of North Carolina-Charlotte on Tuesday night at McGuirk Arena. CMU lost 77-75 to Charlotte.

“It’s going to be a really good experience for us as a team building standpoint,” he said. “I think we have great team chemistry and I think this will enhance it. Whenever you go on the road it’s an us-against-the-world mentality.”

CMU plays New Mexico State, kicking off the Alaska Shootout on Thanksgiving at 10:30 p.m.

“This trip we got coming up we play four games in six days

so we have to stay together on the road trip,” Jackson said. “There’s some tough games we got to play, even harder on the road.”

Jackson agrees with Zeigler and said the eight days will make the players, “stick to-gether and stay tough.”

Zeigler has had the team over at his house the last couple years when they have to stay in Mount Pleasant for

games.“Your teammates and

coaches — all of us we’re a family,” Zeigler said. “We got to be an extension of our im-mediate families with each other and spend Thanksgiving holiday again together.”

Zeigler has tried to make sure the team gets Christmas off to go home.

The Chippewas have a long break after facing Wright State on Dec. 22. They don’t play again until Jan. 7, opening Mid-American Conference play.

Alaska will be a first for most of these Chippewas.

“I’ve never been, but I heard it’s supposed to be dark like 16 hours a day,” Jackson said.

Zeigler is glad to get the team out of the comfort zone and depending on one an-other.

“They like each other so much they can lean on each other as we get the experi-ences and different cultures and areas of country,” Zeigler said. “And especially against the competition.”

The freshmen athletes at Central Michigan univer-

sity are making an impact.Each athletic team has

freshmen contributing to its success.

Running back Anthony Garland and wide receivers Titus Davis and Courtney Williams were the offensive leaders statistically, carrying the football team at times.

Garland rushed for 399 yards and a touchdown in eight games, not playing a full season because of his redshirt status.

Davis had 40 catches for 751 yards and a team-high

eight touchdowns in his first full season as a Chippewa. He scored twice Saturday in the 44-17 loss against Toledo.

The team finished 3-9, but at least the future looks bright.

Freshman guard Austin Keel has proven that he’s a 3-point threat, shoot-ing 57.1 percent from that range. Freshman point guard Austin McBroom cracked the starting lineup in his first game, being a distributor for an offense that wants to run.

Women’s basketball head coach Sue Guevara started four freshmen in the 77-70 loss to Pittsburgh Sunday. Freshmen Crystal Brad-ford and Jas’Mine Bracey finished with 18 and 16

points respectively, leading the team.

Freshmen are taking the athletics department by storm.

Freshman outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre spiked her way into the NCAA Tour-nament as the Chippewas knocked off No. 1 Northern Illinois in five sets in the Mic-American Conference championship game Sun-day. She has a team-leading 337 kills this season.

Her heroic performance was something to watch, as her and senior middle blocker Kaitlyn Schultz propelled the team to an unlikely bid after knocking out No. 3 Western Michigan, No. 2 Ohio and then the Huskies.

Six of the 28 goals scored

for the women’s soccer team were from freshmen. Red-shirt freshman goalkeeper Grace Labrecque allowed one goal, earning a 4-0-1 record this season.

Freshman forward Cay-leigh Immelman led the field hockey team with 33 points, scoring 12 goals.

These athletes are making plays at the Division I level and have room to grow.

The football team has quality recruits joining the freshmen next season. Prog-ress will be made.

The freshmen success makes an impact because of their class. Freshmen have three more years to help their teams contend.

Athletics might not be at its peak yet, but it certainly will be for years to come.

Give athletics teams time

Central Michigan Life || Monday, Nov 21 2011 || 5B

By Matt ThompsonAssistant Sports Editor

You tend to learn a lot about a team when it plays four games in six days. Here’s five things to watch for when the Central Michigan men’s bas-ketball team goes to California and Alaska this week:

No. 1: Can the team improve with the free throws?

Head coach Ernie Zeigler ended his second to last prac-tice before leaving with an en-tire free-throw shooting ses-sion. Each player takes a foul shot, if he makes it he shoots another. If he misses the first, the team runs the length of the court down and back twice. If he makes the first, but misses

the second it does it once. If he makes both they don’t run.

CMU went through the en-tire roster three times to work on its foul shooting. Zeigler knows it’s an issue.

“Our offense has struggled a little bit shooting 36 percent from the field and 54 percent from foul line,” Zeigler said. “I’m looking for an improve-ment maybe shooting 62 to 64 percent from the foul line next game. I’m not putting pres-sure on guys to do everything perfect, but do we practice for perfect? Yes.”

No. 2: Will the offense find its rhythm?

This offense looks much more potent and explosive than last year’s. The guards

look to always push the ball and get out on the break, but so far this year it’s not clicking.

“Right now our next step is for us to have some success offensively,” Zeigler said.

CMU is shooting 36 percent from the floor. Point guards freshman Austin McBroom, junior John Morris and fresh-man Jorddan Myrick have to step up. When they’re in the game they control the tempo and get people the ball in po-sitions to score.

No. 3: Can Saylor give CMU depth down low?

Another big man needs to step up with sophomore for-ward Colin Voss out for 4-6 weeks with a wrist injury. Se-nior forward Andre Coimbra

has been getting into foul trouble and junior forward Olivier Mbaigoto is still get-ting used to the team in his first year.

Junior forward Zach Saylor isn’t putting up big numbers, but he gave CMU good min-utes against Charlotte and made the biggest basket of the game. He also was able to block two shots in the double overtime loss.

If he can come off the bench, giving CMU consis-tent minutes, he will be huge for the Chippewas. He doesn’t need to score or rack up stats, but just be a role player.

No. 4: Which newcomers are for real?

Mbaigoto shot and played

phenomenal along with Mc-Broom and freshman guard Austin Keel in the exhibition games. Keel had another big game against Ferris State, showing off his 3-point range.

The three have been incon-sistent since the regular sea-son has started.

Mbaigoto has to prove he’s a scorer in the starting lineup against better defenses.

McBroom has to control the offense and limit his turn-overs. Keel needs to be a threat coming off the bench.

No. 5: Can the defense keep up the low shooting percent-age?

CMU has held its oppo-nents’ shooting percent-ages less than 40 percent in

the first two regular season games. This week may be a different story, facing differ-ent and more talented offen-sive teams.

“If you look at the stats from the first two games, the de-fense is playing pretty good,” Zeigler said. “Holding teams to under 40 percent is some-thing we target as a goal. We have had some defensive lapses to start games.”

Overall, Zeigler said he just wants to see his team improve.

“Continue to have growth,” he said. “Everything we’re do-ing is pointing toward Jan. 7 and the Toledo Rockets start-ing in MAC play. Can we take one more step or stride to be prepared for conference play?”

Five aspects of men’s basketball team to watch over Thanksgiving break

By Justin HicksStaff Reporter

As the Central Michigan football team says goodbye to 15 seniors, it has 20 ju-niors sliding into leadership roles as seniors next season.

Senior defensive captain Mike Petrucci said he is confident in the class that will take over in his class’ absence.

“The juniors need to take control right away and guys can’t be scared to lead,” he said. “I think we’ve got a lot of young guys that stepped up this year and are going to continue to step up next year.”

Both offensive captains, wide receiver Cody Wilson and quarterback Ryan Rad-cliff return for their fourth year of eligibility.

Radcliff threw for 2,134 yards and 17 touchdowns in the second half of the 2011 season, settling into his

role as starting quarterback. He will come into his se-nior season second all-time at CMU in passing yards, completions, passing touch-downs and total offense.

He will be protected by four then seniors on the of-fensive line and Jerry Harris will be back as a key target.

Following Friday’s loss to Toledo, Radcliff was asked

about his wide receiver core moving into the 2012 sea-son.

“It was good to get those young guys the time that they had this year and while a lot of it was out of necessi-ty, they stepped up,” he said. “They got experience under their belts and that’s only going to benefit us.”

All four of the quarter-

back’s top wide outs return for the Chippewas, record-ing a combined 1,915 receiv-ing yards.

Defensively, CMU has six senior linemen, including Steve Winston and Joe Kin-ville, who both started in all 12 games this season. Dar-ryll Stinson, Nate Williams and Caesar Rodriguez will also be in their fourth year.

The line will have juniors Jahleel Addae and Loreno White in the secondary. Ad-dae led the defense in 2011 with 107 tackles and four interceptions while White added 41 tackles.

David Harman returns for his fourth season as kicker after finishing the 2011 sea-son 13-of-16 on field goals and perfect on PATs.

“I really like the junior class and I think it’s a solid class of leaders and good players,” said head coach Dan Enos. “When you inject these young guys and bring in another recruiting class, I really like our football team.”
