Parking Predicament

SOurce: Parking ServiceS

When students fail to park where al-lowed, vehicles are ticketed. Last year alone, 25,000 ticketed

citations were issued. said Parking Services Manager Kim Speet. Of those, roughly 5,000 tickets were ap-pealed or voided by Parking Services.

“If people didn’t violate and everybody parked where they’re supposed to we would never have to issue any tickets,” Speet said. “(Parking Services) doesn’t do it because we enjoy it, we do it because it helps the university function.”

Students paid more than $55,000 since the fiscal year began in July. For the 2014-15 school year, park-ing violation revenue totaled $525,491.

“The university controls where the money goes. Parking Services doesn’t,” Speet said. “The money goes to the university and the university gives every department a budget. (For Parking Services) our budget goes towards painting the lines, parking lot maintenance and other things.”

Ticket fines account for 20 percent of Parking Service’s annual budget.

Approximately $1.6 million in parking permit revenue has been made currently and more than $55,000 has been made in parking violation revenue this fiscal year. About $27,700 has also been made in meter revenue, totaling $1,688,540.

Central Michigan University’s Parking Services reported residence hall parking lots are com-pletely filled for the first time in 10 years for the fall semester.

Non-residence hall lots still have vacancies and parking passes are still available, said Speet.

“Parking permits for the freshmen lot, commuter lots and faculty/staff lots are still available to pur-chase, although the available parking spaces may be farther away from the campus buildings than in the past,” Speet said in an Oct. 2 interview.

As of Sept. 30, Parking Services has sold 8,613 parking permits with 5,357 of those permits allowing students to park in one of the 15 commuter lots on campus. Between 2014 and 2015, commuter pass purchasing has seen a 4 percent increase.

There are 11,000 valid parking spaces on-campus,

with more than 9,200 of these parking spaces being student parking. Yet even with a large amount of parking, students still receive tickets at a high rate.

Building parking garages in place of high traffic lots, such as Lot 33S and 33N and near Charles V. Park Library is an idea often proposed by students.

“Central needs to make tall parking structures and large parking lots (to accommodate for students),” said Farmington Hills senior Jalen Upshaw. “I drive to campus because it’s more convenient for me whenever I’m ready to go. I’d rather have the option to get in my

If people didn’t violate and everybody parked where they’re

supposed to we would never have to issue any tickets.

More than 5,000 commuter parking passes alone have been sold this semester for the 15 com-muter lots across campus.

For the 2014-15 school year, parking vilolation revenue stands at $525,491. Since the fiscal year began in July, $55,000 has been made from ticketing.

Students are able to park in more than 9,200 parking spaces on campus. This includes parking spaces students must buy a pass for as well as metered parking.

car and leave than not (be able to park at all).”The University has looked into the merits of

building a parking garage for students and found the costs to build would far surpass revenue made from the structure.

The reason students may not be able to find a spot in their desired lot comes from a “number of different factors,” Speet said. “There are a couple layers that fall into this that are out of our control. One of them is violators, and that’s a small number, but that’s still a number.”

Speet defined violators as students who parked in a lot they did not buy a parking pass for.

“I feel like commuter lots are always full because people still choose to take the risk of parking in lots without passes,” said Decatur junior Jaenieshia Green.

Jackie Taylor, a senior from Lansing, said

although she believes parking isn’t as big of an issue this year as it has been in the past, she notes commuter lots fill up the fastest.

“I drive to campus because it’s much quicker and the shuttle comes at inconvenient times,” she said. “Commuter lots are sometimes full because everyone wants the hot spots near Moore (Hall), the library and Anspach (Hall).”

Speet also cited class scheduling as an issue for parking. Because students are not keen on taking Friday classes, a high number of students fill up their schedules between Monday and Thursday.

“A number we (also) can’t control is that most students are on campus on Tuesdays and Thurs-days from 8 or 9 a.m. to 5 or 6 p.m., because when everyone schedules their classes at the same time and all the commuters are on campus, that’s going to (impede) campus parking,” Speet said. “It appears those are our busiest and heaviest days.”

The Central Michigan University Police Department is looking to hire two additional officers.

People who apply will have the opportunity to work with several special service teams, including Youth Services, Emergency Services, Narcotics Enforcement and more, with many opportunities to interact with and educate students.

Those selected will need to attend a Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards training if they have not already. If selected, the police department will pay tuition for the training, which must be done within a year upon hire.

An associate’s degree is required, but a bachelor’s degree is preferred. Those who apply must demonstrate the physical abilities to do police work, which include using communication equipment, emergency and first aid, using a gun, baton and pepper spray, and present a valid driver’s license.

Officers usually work 12-hour shifts and are paid from $15 to $26 per hour. Those interested in the position can go to jobs.cmich.edu to submit an application form.

Fights. Drunks. Wrecked bathrooms. Puddles of vomit. These are the things that no one wants to deal with, but

someone has to: the dirty jobs. Working behind the scenes, hundreds of

people on campus and across Mount Pleasant labor unthanked and unnoticed. They clean up the messes in restaurants, classrooms and at bars before most of us even realize there has been a problem.

When it comes to dirty jobs, there is none more challenging than cleaning up the carnage

left by the post-bar customers of Dog Cen-tral. Although she never has to deal with the customers themselves, Kinde junior Ashly Bambach is all too familiar with the mess they can leave behind.

“On bigger weekends when there are (football) games, there’ll sometimes times be puke or poop all over the toilets and bathroom that I’ll have to clean up,” she said. “We’re open until 3 a.m., so we’ll get a decent amount of drunk people coming in.”

Bambach began working at Dog Central ear-

lier this year after filling in for a friend. She loves working nights at the restaurant because of the relaxed hours.

Most nights, Bambach only has to work two hours. The only stipulation of the job is that she has to have the entire place cleaned by 9:30 a.m. Other than that, she can choose what time she wants to come in to work.

“I don’t know exactly why I like working at Dog Central, I just do,” she said. “I love it more than any other job I’ve ever had. It’s just very easy-going because I get to work at my own pace.”

Between taking out the trash, sweeping and mopping the floors, wiping down the counters, cleaning the bathroom and washing the win-dows, Bambach’s two hours are jam-packed. She comes in every day of the week except Sunday, when the restaurant is closed.

“It would be nice to work with other people, but it really only takes me about two hours to get

everything done,” she said.While stressful moments are few and far

between while working at Dog Central, the worst moment on the job, she recalled, came the Satur-day morning of Homecoming Weekend.

“There was one instance during Homecom-ing, the Saturday morning before the game, where I had to clean puke out of the sink from the night before where there were (whole) hot dog chunks still in it,” Bambach said. “It couldn’t go down the sink, so I had to fish it out of the drain with my hands.”

he became a bouncer was to meet people. But an even bigger reason, he said, to bounce at the Blue Gator Sports Pub and Grill is to honor and glorify God.

“That’s weird when I first say that because I know bouncing is a job you wouldn’t typically think of when talking about God. I think that’s part of the beauty of it,” he said. “It’s not where a lot of people go to (talk about religion), and I think bringing that aspect (of God) to (the Blue Gator) is a good thing. I’ve had a lot of fruitful conversations with anyone who comes up to me to talk.”

Bloch was hired as a bouncer at Blue Gator after a friend employed at the club called him up one night and said the bar was short staffed. It only took one night on the job and he was hooked.

“Being able to provide that safe and secure en-vironment for Encore or Blue Gator is something that just naturally sort of fulfills me,” Block said. “I really appreciate and enjoy what I do.”

A normal night on the job could lead Bloch to be poised at any position within the bar: The door, the desk, the floor or even in the men’s bathroom.

“The weekend before Homecoming, we had a customer come into the bathroom of all things and start ripping down some of the stalls,” he said. “Apparently he said he wanted to take some of the stall doors home.”

Most nights aren’t usually as exciting as that one, Bloch said, with bouncers doing “rounds” of the club to make sure customers are behaving themselves.

“Typically, I just do a lot of passive security and make sure everything is OK and running smoothly, customers are having a good time and feel safe and secure,” he said. “If things get out of line, other bouncers and I will come over the radio headset and we’ll see to a situation from there.”

Bloch said the worst time for fights and drunk-en altercations typically comes around Home-coming and Western Weekend. He recounted one incident, just prior to this year’s Homecom-ing, in which a drunken patron was kicked out of Blue Gator twice before trying to start a fight with the bouncers.

“One dude somehow got back in and had flopped himself down on the dance floor on his back like a starfish. He was trying to grab other customers (by the ankles) to stay in the club,” Bloch said. “He started kicking some of the guys who were trying to escort him out. We eventually did get him out but he still tried to come back in again.”

Bloch knocked on the wood tabletop he was sitting at when he said he’s never been in a fight while on the job, though, he feels like it

comes with the territory.“It’s bound to happen in that line of work, but

I’m almost weirdly looking forward to it,” he said.He called the idea of breaking up a fight

“thrilling.” What he doesn’t view as thrilling, is the after hours clean up. The Gator closes at 2 a.m., and Bloch said he cleans well into the night, sometimes not leaving work until 3:30 or 4 a.m.

“We have a little Zamboni we run around the club, we mop the floors, just typical end of the night wipe down things,” Bloch said. “I’m not Monica Bradburn | Assistant Photo Editor

too big of a fan of the clean-ing but other than that I really, thoroughly love my job. It’s just tedious at the end of the night when everyone is tired.”

MakinG Moore look its Best

Not once during a 36-hour shift, in which she developed blisters so severe she was forced to clean the floor in her socks, did Mindy Kinkead ever consider quitting her job as a custodial staff member at Cen-tral Michigan University.

“That’s just the kind of per-son I am,” she said. “I don’t like to leave jobs half finished.”

Kinkead has worked as a cus-todian for 20 years, the last eight of which at CMU. She came to the university after serving as a custodian at Gratiot Medical

Center where she prepped op-erating rooms for surgeries and trauma patient care, like treating victims of car crashes.

She decided to make the change, she said, when the oldest of her four sons became eligible to go to college. As an employee of the university, Kinkead receives an employee tuition discount. This means most full-time employees receive 12 free credit hours per semester that can be used by them and their direct family members.

“(Custodians) could have better pay, but a job is a job and you take what you can get,” Kinkead said. “The free education for my kids is worth more than the extra pay. I would rather my kids have a future than worry about a few extra bucks. “

Kinkead works “strictly midnights,” throughout the school year and summer when

she is able to.“As a first floor custodian

I’m extremely busy, especially when school’s back in ses-sion,” Kinkead said. “Between the man who fills the pop machines and drips pop up to down the floors and the amount of trash and gar-bage left on the floors, I’m constantly mopping where machines can’t fit into. When we get to the winter, the salt is even worse.”

Alongside Kikead on the night shift is Brenda Price. The two are a part of the small team of custodians who spend their nights cleaning Moore Hall.

Price, who has worked at CMU since 2011, said the worst part of the job isn’t cleaning bathrooms, but clean-ing in the winters.

“We have so much salt that we have to deal with and there’s no controlling it,” Price

said. “There’s students com-ing in and out of the hall and they track salt everywhere constantly, so cleaning up is a lot of work.”

Spending much of her life cleaning hotels, nursing homes, private residences and now the university, Price said wherever she goes, the people she meets are the highlight of her day.

“I enjoy cleaning, but most-ly I enjoy seeing and meeting different people. Here there’s the students; in the nursing home it was the older people,” Price said. “I enjoy the people I work with and the students I get to meet. We have some bad days, we have some good

days but, you know, it comes with the job.”

Unlike Bambach and Bloch, Kinkead and Price say the worst part of the job isn’t the toilets or the trash – it’s watching some students not be thankful for the things the university gives them.

“Seeing students not respect-ing the new property they get, like the new desks with putting gum under the (seats and desk-tops) is disheartening,” Kinkead said. “They get brand new, nice things which CMU provides for you (students) and you repay them by gouging into the desktops and sticking your gum underneath them. I just hate seeing the destruction.”

It’s the students who make the job worthwhile, she said, even with the long hours and intensive nightly cleaning regi-ments. Kinkead said students are the janitorial staff ’s “big-gest supporters.”

“We get nothing but genuine respect from students. Our students are our best pat on the back to us,” Kinkead said. “We have students who come up to us and tell us that we do such a great job and that to us means a lot because you don’t get it so much from anyone else. But you know when it comes from the students that it’s genuine and comes from the heart. They mean it, and we take it with pride.”

The new international affairs director, Bill Holmes, said internationalization can impact the entire campus of Central Michigan University.

Holmes said he aims to develop a plan for university-wide internationalization that takes everyone on campus into consideration. The goal of internationalization is to help faculty, staff and students be more aware of global issues.

Tracy Nakajima, direc-tor of International Student and Scholar Services, said the office wants to increase interaction between interna-tional students and domestic students to give international students the full experience of an American education. Fur-thermore, though the goal of the International Affairs Office is to have American students study abroad, they know not everyone will be able to — however, those students can still interact with international students at CMU.

“(Internationalization would) bring international issues and awareness into everyone’s daily life,” Nakajima said.

The office will focus on classroom curriculum that brings in international issues.

“Our staff ’s duties are

supporting the students once they’re here and helping students navigate through other support services that are already here because inter-national students are CMU students, just as anyone else is,” she said.

Since it is an academic unit, Holmes said, faculty should have input on internationaliza-tion. Through open forums and focus groups, Holmes hopes to hear from faculty and students about their ideas on interna-tionalization and the issues that are important to them.

Many programs and activi-ties for international students happen through registered student organizations, but their office is working on develop-ing a calendar of events. They intend to have a calendar by January, but have already noti-fied students of activities as they come up. Right now, the office has a small amount of money taken from their budget dedicated to programming.

“It’s breaking down any barriers that might be there (between international and do-mestic students) and helping them get to know each other,” Holmes said.

Beatrice Chioda, an un-dergraduate student from Italy, said it’s fairly easy to get involved on campus because of the coordinated activities that make her feel like a part of the

Rahim, president of the Inter-national Student Organization, said most international stu-dents are probably associated with an organization related to the country they’re from or ISO. There are a lot of other opportunities on campus, he said, but it’s not always easy for international students to get involved.

“I don’t think any RSO alienates international students but coming from a different culture and country, it’s not easy for international students to sync with Ameri-can culture,” Rahim said.

ISO aims to build bridges between international students and American students, he said, because international students can help create a multicultural environment by getting involved at CMU and in Mount Pleasant.

Holmes said international students at CMU face the same kinds of issues that American students do when they go abroad — adjusting to differ-ent weather, food, culture and language.

“I understand the highs they get when they first arrive and the lows when they just want to go home and just want to stop hearing English and speak to someone from their country for a while,” he said. “We tend

to look negatively at American students who hang together when they’re abroad and I’ve heard the same thing about international students when

they’re here hanging out in little groups, but it’s such a safe place that they need to have that ability.”

The Brooks Astronomical Observatory will hold an open house 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tuesday Oct. 20 on the roof of Brooks Hall. The event will take place whether the sky is cloudy or clear.

Two open houses have already taken place this year in March and April. The observatory itself houses a “16-inch (40 cm) computer-controlled classical Cassegrain reflector,” and is “equipped for CCD direct imaging, medium-dispersion spectroscopy, 35 mm

and plate photography, as well as UBVRI photometry for visual observing,” according to the Department of Physics’ website.

The event is being hosted by The Department of Physics, Astronomy and Physical Science. For questions, contact Rob Wang at the College of Science and Technology through email at [email protected], or phone at 989-774-1198.

Astronomy observAtion tower to hold open house

A West Campus Village apartment building containing six rooms was demolished Oct. 15.

United Apartments removed the old building and is rebuilding it with new amenities and a more modern floor plan, said United Apartments Operations Manager Rick McGuirk.

“We are replacing it as part of a replacement plan to make it consistent with amenities today’s students expect to see,” McGuirk said.

Students who planned to live in one of the six rooms in the now-demolished apartment building were placed in other units available throughout campus.

The building torn down in West Campus Village was put into service in 1982, and hadn’t been updated since. Surrounding

buildings in West Campus Village were updated in 2005.

“(Apartment) 1201 still had lifespan left in the building,” McGuirk said.

The operations manager said phase one of the replacement plan was renovating every other building in West Campus Village, and now it is time to update apartment building 1201.

Amenities, McGuirk said, would be updated in the new building were more bathrooms, larger kitchen and living areas, larger closets and modern floor plans to match other living units in the area.

“1201 will be the only renovation project this year,” he said.

Student Government Association’s annual “We’re a Culture, Not a Cos-tume” awareness event was met with negative response from students on social media Wednesday, Oct. 14 after the diversity sub-committee utilized students dressed in blackface and other cultural stereotypes in a Hallow-een costume demonstration.

“(We’re a Culture, Not a Costume) is a campaign that we’ve done for three years except this time we did it live,” said Chuck Mahone, president of SGA. “We figured this would be more impactful. It gave students something to stop and look at and say ‘Hey, that’s not right.’ If it’s just a poster, people can ignore it. But they can’t ignore this.”

Freshman Austin Jones and junior Stephen LaDuke said the concept could have been brought to light in a different way.

“I don’t know how I feel about (the Diversity Committee) using black-face, even as a learning experience,” LaDuke said.

The topic of blackface, the two agreed, has too much history behind it

sGa criticized for on-campus demonstrations using racist costumes

to even use in a demonstration.“I think that was a good costume to

represent a culturally insensitive cos-tume but I would have chosen a better way to (illustrate) that,” Jones said. “Completely painting someone’s face like they’re black? That’s too far.”

Mahone said that student outcry against the use of blackface, however, is something that can be seen as a positive.

“The whole point of the campaign is to raise awareness,” Mahone said. “I’ve been here (at CMU) for five years, and I’ve never heard people have intellectual conversations about things like this that are going on. This campaign has spurred these intellec-tual conversations.”

The student dressed in blackface volunteered to be apart of the “We’re a Culture, Not a Costume” campaign. Mahone said when the student was selected to wear blackface, however, he was “almost in tears” because he did not want to portray such a racially-driven Halloween costume.

A photo of SGA diversity commit-tee and volunteers, one of whom was dressed in blackface, sparked a lively debate on Central Michigan Life’s Facebook Page.

While students may be talk-ing about it, Holland freshman Jai

McKinley believes not everyone will understand the intended message the Diversity Committee is trying to get across to students.

“If (blackface) is used to raise awareness and it is promoted as such and students are aware that (the demonstrations) are for awareness, then (using blackface) could be ac-ceptable,” McKinley said. “There was definitely different ways (SGA) could have gone about doing this. This is a college where we’re split between people who don’t care (about these is-sues) and people who do, and for the vast majority who don’t care about things like this, they’re just going to pass by, see (the blackface) and not know that it’s wrong.”

Although the live demonstration was just a one day ordeal, Mahone said there are still plans to hang posters and create a video to combat culturally insensitive Halloween costumes.

“(SGA is) trying to make a video and we still have the poster piece, but we’ve been doing the poster piece for the past three years and it’s never had the discussion starter that it has now,” he said. “This (live demonstra-tion) has only been going for a day and we feel like we’ve accomplished our goal.”

PhotographerSGA Diversity Committee volunteer, left, Detroit sophomore Terrance Allen stand outside of the University Center on Wednesday, Oct. 14 as a part of the “culture is not a costume” campaign put on by SGA. The SGA diversity committee and volunteers protested racially offensive costumes with the slogan “culture is not a costume.”

After Central Michigan Life post-ed a photo of an SGA volunteer in blackface to social media, an online debate began about the implications of using such tactics to create a discussion. Almost inevitably, the conversa-tion became about the failures or triumphs of the student government’s decision, instead of why the campaign is important.

SGA President Chuck Mahone’s response to the backlash was that the campaign has spurred intellectual conversations about Halloween attire in a way a poster campaign did not. Of the 145 comments on our photo, very few were talking about whether it was appropriate to wear these costumes on Halloween.

We are aware that there was a thorough amount of discussion and consideration for what is appropriate when SGA was planning their live demonstrations, but it is hard to put something as in your face as a student in a racist costume into context when walking to class. People who walked by saw students of color standing next to white students in racist costumes, were left without a longer conversation that would put the shocking imagery in context.

The campaign is carries a good message. It is

important to inform the community that it is not OK to appropriate cultures to win a Halloween costume contest.

Ultimately SGA’s demonstration was effec-tive in creating conversations — but were they the right kind? These live demonstrations also showed another example of how difficult it can be to speak honestly about race in the politically-correct microcosm.

Conversations about race are often divisive. This can silence some points of view, which is especially harmful when talking about issues of race, gender and sexuality. It is important to stay open-minded and ask questions about these top-ics to become educated. It is more important to be inclusive and not remove other points of view from the table, even if you don’t agree with them.

The Central Michigan Life editorial board had a difficult time discussing race, especially because it contains no minority points of view. One of the things we grappled with the most was trying to identify if students wearing racist costumes is an is-sue at CMU, and our board was split when trying to decide whether to condemn or praise SGA’s actions.

The issues our board had reflect the issues CMU has as a whole not knowing how to talk about race. It stems from a bigger issue of our campus not being as diverse as it should be.

From the narrow view of our social media, it ap-pears that most students are aware that this is not acceptable. But if we have learned anything from recent national stories about racism at universities, some prejudices have gone underground.

If you have had any experience with offensive Halloween costumes, be it through witnessing them firsthand, having to explain the issue to a friend or learning yourself at CMU, we would like to hear from you.

Their dominating per-formance on Saturday was unexpected. Their intensity and focus from start to finish was unshakable.

Through four complete quarters, the Central Michigan football team dominated an opponent and sent a message to every other team remaining on the schedule this season.

The Chippewas are not what their record indicates they are. They can be dangerous if al-lowed to operate comfortably.

Taking four losses through the first six games appears lousy on its face to critics and did not do much for team morale.

CMU was in desperate need of a motivational spark, some-thing to boost self-image and keep the light of a Mid-Amer-ican Conference title dream from fading to black.

On Saturday, that break-through finally came: CMU 51, Buffalo 14.

It was the first time the team scored more than 50 points dur-ing a game in half a decade. The last time CMU won a MAC title (2009) was even longer ago.

To make its preseason fantasy a reality, CMU must capture the momentum gained by Saturday’s convincing vic-tory and convert its product into a tangible week-to-week operational advantage.

No getting lucky. No Baha-mas Bowl magic. Just winning.

Junior quarterback Cooper Rush has been exceptional all season. His start to the year is the best by a CMU quar-terback perhaps ever. Rush flaunted his many offensive options during Saturday’s win. At times, it appeared there was not a bad place for the junior to send the ball. CMU’s offense is its glaring strength.

Depth, however, remains the team’s biggest area of concern.

CMU’s defense is extremely banged up.

Defensive end Joe Ostman has been in and out of the lineup all year. Captain and middle linebacker Tim Hamil-ton is done for the year with a torn pectoral muscle. Defensive backs Amari Coleman and Ka-von Frazier have both come up limping at one point or another this season.

It seems as if everyone on CMU’s roster is nursing some type of injury as the dog days of the MAC season roll along.

Teams across the league are dealing with similar issues, but CMU’s unhealthiness places pressure on second-teamers in key moments and narrow the margin for error significantly.

CMU’s schedule does not get any easier either.

Dates with Ball State and Akron in back-to-back weeks might appear less than chal-lenging, but both teams have given the Chippewas issues during recent meetings. No. 19 Toledo will be CMU’s first opponent during the month of November.

Unlike some MAC teams, for CMU, winning is as much about attitude and focus as it is about skill and execution.

The latter two qualities are departments CMU has limited resources within. The first two are the intangibles first-year Head Coach John Bonamego has made a point of emphasis from the very day he walked on CMU’s campus.

Bonamego commands respect from his players. They give it to him, and as a result, believe

in the message he preaches: “Prepare well, play hard and win the MAC Championship.”

To fans and players alike, the feeling surrounding Bonamego’s program is different.

Off the field, football culture is a point of pride. On the field, losses aren’t just losses, they are valuable learning experiences because of which the next op-ponent is worse off.

To the public, Bonamego insists his team is unsatisfied with moral victories or a pat on the back in hopes of “getting ‘em next time.”

No, this team wants to win and win now. CMU’s coach won’t settle for any excuses, even with a team he inherited when he took this job.

Somehow, a MAC title is still in the realm of possibil-ity for this team that was down in terms of talent and chemistry when the season began. Through the first half of the season, CMU has hung around in the confer-ence standings and remained within striking distance.

Saturday’s game was an important first step in the mid-season surge necessary to knock the best teams in the MAC West off course.

The belief behind CMU’s short-term quest for a MAC title applies to the intention of the program’s abiding mission to restore a football culture once held in high regard around the state and conference.

Accept nothing less than your best, and let the rest take care of itself.

The Chippewas have held themselves to a high standard, and as a result, are farther along than most critics thought they would be.

But there is still plenty of work to be done.

Chippewas make no excuses, so neither should we

Two foreign exchange students flew across the world so they could join Central Michi-gan’s field hockey family.

Sophomore backer Harriet Aburn trans-ferred in 2014 from Wellington, New Zealand and junior midfielder Maude Stalars trans-ferred in 2013 from Brussels, Belgium, finding their new homes in the city of Mount Pleasant.

“I chose CMU because I really enjoyed what Earl Marais, the field hockey assistant coach, had to say about field hockey and I agreed with his ideas,” Aburn said. “I also wanted to go somewhere that was like a small town because I’m from a small country, so I didn’t want to go to a big city.”

Besides playing field hockey, Aburn lettered in cricket all four years during high school while also coaching beginning field hockey teams.

Adjusting to a new country and schooling system wasn’t easy for the two. Stalars, who scored the game-winning goal in her team’s

first victory of the year Friday, came from a French and Dutch speaking country, making the transition tougher.

“I thought it would be quite similar to what it was like in Belgium, but it was way more differ-ent than I thought,” Stalars said. “It was hard ad-justing to the language and I really had a culture shock because people dress differently, speak differently than what I studied, the schooling system (is) different, it (is) quite different.”

Despite from the differences, CMU became a second home for Aburn and Stalars.

“When I came here, everyone was so welcom-ing,” Stalars said. “They just say hi, even if they don’t know you. It was really a pleasant surprise.”

Most importantly, they found a new family of teammates who they could rely on to guide them through their transition.

“I really enjoy the team because everyone is so welcoming and so focused during practice,” Aburn said. “I just enjoy that everyone loves field hockey as much as I do. Off the field, we bond a lot as a team. Everyone here has differ-

One week ago, Head Coach

John Bonamego was asked how tough it would be for his team to bounce back from its 41-39 loss to Western Michigan.

“We’ll see what kind of football team we are,” he said. “We’ll see what our character is. We’ll find out.”

The 14,301 fans in at-tendance Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium found out.

After scoring 39 points against WMU, Bonamego and the Central Michigan football team decided to make an of-fensive tweak.

The Chippewas turned to the no-huddle offense, espe-cially in the first half, wearing down on the Bull defense in CMU’s 51-14 victory Saturday.

“I think going no huddle helped a lot,” said junior quarterback Cooper Rush. “It kept them a little off balance, they couldn’t do too much coverage-wise and scheme-wise because of the tempo.”

CMU’s 51 points was the most the team has scored in a game since topping Eastern Michigan 52-14 in Dan Enos’ first Mid-American Confer-ence game, Sept. 18, 2010.

The Chippewas scored a touchdown on five of their first six drives, including a first-quarter QB sneak score and a trio of second-quarter touch-

down passes from Rush. He fin-ished the day 23-for-30, passing for 313 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.

Senior wide receiver Jesse Kroll was his top target, reigning in seven catches for 133 yards and a touchdown.

“We just got in a really good rhythm,” Kroll said. “It’s some-thing that we know we can do.”

The Chippewas’ first two wins of the season were less decisive — as they allowed Monmouth to outscore them in the second half and had to battle back from a 10-3 halftime deficit to Northern Illinois.

“We just turned it on and kept it on all game,” said senior defensive back Stefon

Armstead, who had an inter-ception, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup Saturday. “(We) tried to just keep the same mindset from the begin-ning of the game until the end of the game, no matter what the score was.”

Saturday’s performance gives validity to CMU’s mid-week efforts, Bonamego said.

“We challenged our team all week to not let one disap-pointment turn into two,” he said. “I just think today, maybe we wanted it a little bit more. We were just a little bit more on our game.”

With five games to play, the Chippewas (3-4, 2-1 Mid-American Conference) are tied for third with Northern Illinois in the MAC West standings. They trail Toledo (6-0, 3-0 MAC) and Western Michigan (3-3, 2-0 MAC).

CMU won’t play another home game until it hosts Toledo on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Outside of the game against the Rockets, the other four teams are a combined 4-8 in MAC play.

Meanwhile, the Broncos have three opponents remain-ing that are 2-1 or better in the conference and Toledo

plays its final four games against teams 2-1 or better in the MAC.

With senior linebacker Tim Hamilton out for the season and numerous other injuries on both sides of the ball, it will take the same high-powered, turnover-forcing team that took down Buffalo in order to compete come November.

But first, the Chippewas face a road trip to Ball State (2-5, 1-2 MAC) against a Cardinal team that’s 5-0 against CMU since 2010. Kickoff for Saturday’s game is at 3 p.m.

“Starting fast is key, Coach Bono talked about it all week,” Rush said. “To come out and execute was big for us. We stepped up to the challenge as a team. Now we’ll have to do it again next week.”

The wait is over. A new era of Central Michigan athletics has finally arrived in Mount Pleasant.

Central Michigan lacrosse hosted three teams for its Fall Play Day on Sunday. The exhibition was the first time CMU played or-ganized lacrosse at its new Soccer/Lacrosse complex.

CMU faced Grand Valley State and Findlay, falling to the Lakers 10-3 before rebounding in its afternoon game against the Oilers to tie 11-11.

Head Coach Sara Tisdale was happy to showcase her team at home in the final games of the fall exhibition season.

“(They are) great opponents and close friends of ours,” Tisdale said. “We really respect them as opponents. It was a good test in both games for our girls.”

The Chippewas struck first against GVSU by scoring two quick goals, including one from freshman midfielder Anna Schoonover. The Lakers, however, would go on to score 10 of the game’s last 11 goals.

“We started out really strong and then we kind of got on our heels a little bit and then thought we could take some plays off,” Tisdale said. “Putting together that full 60-minute effort it is some-thing we definitely need some improvement on.”

Lacrosse plays first home competitions in program history

CMU rebounded in game two. After trailing 3-0 early, fresh-man midfielder Summer Abdalla scored to put CMU on the board.

With about 12 minutes left in the first half and down 5-2, Findlay received a yellow card after strik-ing CMU freshman midfielder Elizabeth Navin. A minute later, freshman attacker Holly Billett cut the lead to 5-3.

Navin said the extra body helped the Chippewas regain some momentum.

“When we have a man up, it makes it a lot easier to stay on track and work against them because they are working harder than we have to work,” Navin said.

CMU trailed 6-4 in the second

half when freshman midfielder Jocelyn Lemay scored two goals in a row to tie it up. Later, down 11-8, the Chippewas used Lemay’s fourth goal of the game and goals from two others to tie it 11-11.

With 2.7 seconds left, Lemay scored what would have been her fifth goal of the game and the game-winner, but it was called back. A free shot at the end from Lemay was saved by Findlay to seal the tie.

“It was overwhelming,” Lemay said. “Everyone was screaming. It was crazy. It’s just fall ball, so we have to learn from that right now and hopefully it will happen again in a game that counts.”

Tisdale said she would take

the end of that game any day. She said Lemay was named the team’s “speaking captain” for Sunday.

“Jocelyn’s awesome,” Tisdale

said. “She’s such a special player. She’s a great, young woman and such a leader for our program.”

The home fans were treated to an intense second game and witnessed history Sunday. The team said the fan support gave them a boost.

“Our families are awesome,” Tisdale said. “When you put the love and support that we have in the stands it really makes this place more special than it already is.”

Lemay echoed Tisdale.“A lot of us haven’t seen our

parents all year,” Lemay said. “It was nice to have a bunch of people in the stands cheering us on and supporting us.”

It was not just parents in the stands, but students as well. Men’s basketball players were in atten-dance, including freshman guard Corey Redman.

Redman said he will attend

lacrosse games come spring.“It’s cool having another sport

come on,” Redman said. “I’ve never really watched girls lacrosse, so I wanted to check it out. Plus, I know some of them.”

Lacrosse has concluded their fall exhibitions. Their next game will be the season opener at Michi-gan on Feb. 7.

“I think in February we’ll be ready to play,” she said.

Tisdale will use Sunday’s contests as a learning tool for the team going in to its short offseason break.

“I think for us it was getting up and getting excited and re-ally wanting it,” she said. “For a lot of these young ladies, things came pretty easy to them in high school and now they have to push themselves. You saw that happen (against Findlay). When that happens it is really exciting.”

A lot of Central Michigan bas-ketball fans will recognize Chris Fowler for his hustle, heart and determination on the court, but few know of the other half of the senior point guard’s talent.

Fowler has been a member of CMU’s starting five since his arrival on campus. His 533 career assists are the most by a Chippewa in program history. Unbeknownst to some, Fowler also has an inter-est in performing off the court.

A theatre and interpretation major, Fowler made his theatre debut in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” which took

place in Bush Theatre from Oct. 8 to 18.

His interest for theatre and the arts began in high school at Detroit Country Day School when injuries on the court forced Fowler to watch from the bench. Wanting to avoid idle time, he decided to join student council and the theatre program.

“I had to pick up some other hobbies because I still wanted to go to college and I wanted to put things on my résumé that colleges would like,” Fowler said.

Even though acting and sports might seem like opposite ends of the spectrum, Fowler draws paral-lels between the two.

“(Theatre) is a lot like a sport in terms of the amount of hours you have to put in to be good at it,” he said. “I enjoyed working on the craft, and in college I decided to learn more about it.”

In his most recent role, Fowler was featured as Spike, Masha’s dimwitted and younger lover, in “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” a 2013 Tony Award-winning play.

Before Fowler’s acting gig on Saturday, his day began in the gym at McGuirk Arena in the annual Maroon and Gold Scrimmage.

Playing in front of an intimate setting of family and alumni, the

Southfield native was in full game mode with acting and theatre tak-ing a back seat. Fowler said it’s easy for him to separate and balance basketball and theatre.

“There’s enough hours in the day to get everything in that I need to get in,” he said. “Whether that means you have to wake up earlier or go to sleep later — I’m just pres-ent all the time.”

On a typical day, basketball practice runs from 1 to 4 p.m., while rehearsal starts at 6 p.m. and usually wraps up at 10 p.m. Fowler said he encompasses a 24/7 men-tality in everything he does.

Head Coach Keno Davis has spent countless hours watch-ing Fowler excel and grow as a student-athlete and leader.

He’s just as proud of his point guard’s basketball abilities as he is of his acting abilities.

“Whatever he does, he does to the best of his ability,” Davis said. “Whether that’s on the court, in the classroom (or) on the stage, he’s somebody that excels at what he does because of the amount of time and dedication he puts into it.”

Davis said it’s not a stretch for the 2015 runner-up for the Mid-American Conference’s Player of the Year Award to also succeed away from the hardwood.

“It doesn’t surprise me, get-ting to know (Fowler), that he would be able to get honors outside the basketball

court,” Davis said. With nothing but positive

things to say about the theatre pro-gram, Fowler said he has enjoyed his time acting at CMU.

“People who are in the cast with me have really made it a lot of fun,” Fowler said. “They’ve treated me like a theatre student and not a basketball player. I’m allowed to have fun behind those closed doors and basically be a different person than I probably have to be (when on) the court.”

He said there are some parallels between basketball and theatre which make the two similar.

“There’s a concept in acting, especially in representational theatre, where you don’t break the fourth wall,” Fowler said. “Things that are happening off the stage don’t matter to what’s going on on the stage. You’re focused solely on what’s on stage and it’s a lot like basketball — you don’t want to

break that fourth wall in terms of playing in McGuirk Arena and you don’t want to do it in Moore Hall. It’s the same thing.”

From play attendees to those within the basketball program, his dedication is clear.

“I definitely think that it’s a lot to manage being a theatre major and a basketball player,” said Stu-dent Basketball Manager Mitchell Olis. “I think it’s impressive that he can do both.”

Fowler’s acting talents have even impressed those who don’t follow sports at CMU. Alex Mc Intire, a junior from Lowell, attended Sunday afternoon’s matinée per-formance of the production.

“I don’t watch a whole lot of basketball, but he’s obviously a natural (actor),” Mc Intire said. “He steals the show — I think he’s really good.”

While he wasn’t on stage as much as his castmates, Fowler entertained the crowd throughout his performance as Spike. His character was the source of humor and had the audience laughing on multiple occasions.

Olis, a junior supply chain management major from Roch-ester Hills, is in the gym with the team every day. He said Fowler is great at anything he does and is an inspiration.

Fowler still insists basketball is his first priority. After all, he has been on the hardwood a lot longer than he’s been on the stage.

“I enjoy acting (because) it doesn’t cause me any pain,” he said. “(Acting) is always just going to be fun. Basketball can cause me great distress in terms of what I want to do and how I want to do it and that’s how I know I love it. So basketball is the most enjoyable for me. It’s my favorite thing to do — acting is also fun, but basketball is my number one priority.”

ent personalities. We’re never bored. It is comforting to have a team that will always be there for you.”

Aburn and Stalars found CMU is the perfect fit for them to grow as individu-als and players. With their experiences living in different countries, they are also able to share their knowledge and perspective about their home countries with others.

“Maude and Harriet are so beneficial to our team because they grew up playing hockey,” Head Coach Molly Pelowski

said. “They have a greater perspective and maturity. They bring depth and flavor to the team sharing their knowledge of the game. They both are hard workers and really love the game.”

As individuals, they are quite different on and off the field.

“We call Maude our hockey head. She is definitely aggres-sive and physical on the field,” Pelowski said. “She under-stands the game and is very skilled. Harriet on the other hand is very shy and intro-verted, but has great knowl-edge of the game and great team dynamics. Both of them add different personalities to the team.”

After the program hit a cross-roads 10 days ago, the Central Michigan volleyball team seems to be on the right track.

The Chippewas swept Bowling Green on Friday night to complete the first half of the Mid-American Conference schedule. Despite a 3-2 loss to Miami (Ohio) on Thursday, CMU maintains a 4-4 conference record and is 9-12 overall.

CMU is 3-1 since Head Coach Erik Olson was placed on a leave of absence on Oct. 6 and are look-ing to gear up for a second-half run in MAC play.

“Overall, we were consis-tent throughout the match (on Friday),” said Assistant Coach Adam Rollman. “We just came back (after trailing in sets two and three) and were steady throughout the entire match. ”

CMU used a sideout percentage of 80 percent to down Bowling Green, 25-20 in set one. After trail-ing early in sets two and three, the Chippewas rebounded to win set two 25-23 and set three 25-20.

The Chippewas were led by sophomore outside hitter Jordan Bueter, who led the team with nine kills and 14 digs. Freshman libero Jamie Wolffis tallied 11 digs after recording a career-high 25 digs

Thursday against the RedHawks.Rollman said the duo’s leader-

ship is vital for success in the second half.

“They’re two people that we are always looking to share the lead,” he said. “They’ve been stepping up and doing a great job.”

With the 4-4 conference record, CMU is now tied with Ball State for fourth place in the MAC West.

“Four-and-four is not ter-rible, but we still (believe) we can produce more,” Rollman said. “Going into the second half, we are going to get the same looks at all the West teams. I think that’s only going to benefit us and we are going to be able to come back even stronger in the second half.”

Rollman is optimistic for an exciting second half for his team.

“You always want to be playing your best volleyball going into the last part of the season. I think we are in that transition,” he said.

Olson said on Sept. 19 that a .500 record in the MAC regular season is needed “to even have a chance” for the MAC Tournament in November. Rollman echoed Olson’s statement.

“We have to look at where we are with standings and every-thing,” he said. “We did a great job tonight of taking care of business. If we keep that up, we are going to be great.”

The Chippewas have responded

to the adversity surrounding their head coach by winning three of four since his absence. Rollman said the team has come together.

“It’s business as normal as far as doing their routine and doing things as a team,” he said. “We’re just continuing to build as a team throughout the season.”

The second half of MAC play will provide a challenge for the Chippewas. Rollman said the team has the opportunity to create some separation from the bottom teams in the division with home games against Akron and Buffalo.

He also warned the potential dangers with Northern Illinois and Western Michigan coming to Mount Pleasant.

The Chippewas lost to NIU to open up MAC play, but defeated the rival Broncos Sept. 26 for their first win in Kalamazoo since 2006. Following NIU and WMU, they host Eastern Michigan in home finale and then travel to Ohio, the best team in the MAC.

They close the regular season out with road matches at Ball State and last-place Toledo.

Rollman said the schedule will get tougher and the Chippewas have to be ready.

“Teams are only going to get bet-ter throughout the MAC,” he said. “We’ve got to be prepared for that as (some of) those teams are toward the top part of the conference.”
