A review of the announced game-by-game attendance figures at Central Michigan University football games this season reveals that more people attended games this season.

However, the announced figures will likely be different from the actual paid attendance

numbers that CMU Athletics submits to the NCAA.

Kelly/Shorts Stadium hosted an average of 16,306 people during a

six-home-game span in 2014, according to

the department. Just as it did last

year, the university will conduct an internal audit

of 2014 attendance figures, signed by President George

Ross, and submit the results to the NCAA in February 2015.

CMUs average home game attendance over the last five years is 16,940, compared to 18,360 at Western Michigan University and 6,628 at Eastern Michigan University.

The largest crowd, 25,531, at Kelly/Shorts Stadium this fall showed up on Sept. 13. when the Chippewas hosted Syracuse University.

CMUs lowest attendance fig-ure was 7, 689 Nov. 15 when the Chippewas played Miami Ohio).

Craig Willey, associate athletic director, said there are a number of factors that boosted CMUs attendance in 2014.

Having a marquee Atlantic Coast Conference program like Syracuse and our rival Western Michigan at home obviously helped us, Willey said.

The movement of the CMU student section, Willey said, was one the biggest factors in the increase.

We were also able to drop our single-game ticket price, he said. We always struggle with back-to-back home games like we had with Miami (Ohio) and WMU.

The NCAA Division I re-quires that a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, average at least 15,000 in actual or paid attendance for all home football games on a two-year rolling basis.

Football attendance numbers up from 2013

Effective Jan. 4, Central Michigan University employees in non-benefit eligible positions will be restricted to a maximum of 50 hours per bi-weekly pay period.

This includes the fall and spring semesters, including exam weeks, spring break and holiday break. At the start of summer classes, students may work up to 80 hours per pay period until the fall 2015 semester.

According to an overview of the policy from Human Resources, the hour limitations apply to student employees, temporary staff, graduate assistants, Global Campus adjunct faculty and less-than-half-time fixed-term faculty. Hours worked in a resident assistant or multicultural adviser position will not count toward the work hour limitations.

These caps apply to the combined hours worked for all positions held by an employee. Employees working multiple assignments are expected to self-monitor their total hours, combined for all assignments, to ensure they do not exceed the limits.

If workers go over their hours, they will face reductions in the number of future hours they can work. If employees continue to exceed the limitations after two warnings, they will be fired.

Central Michigan Universitys Herbarium received $7.5 million in grants from the National Science Foundations Advancing Digitization of Biodiversity Collections Program to create an online database of plant, fish and mollusk specimens.

CMU is part of a collaboration of 25 institutions nationwide cataloguing 1.7 million specimens. By placing samples online, researchers will save time normally spent physically sorting through specimen samples.

The national effort will focus on non-native species of the Great Lakes and will include all species previously collected in North America, including those that have the potential for ecological harm. There are at least 180 non-native species living in the Great Lakes, but with this collection, more than 2,500 species will be put online.

Using the national biodiversity database, scientists will be able to identify a species initial location, the direction of its spread and patterns of invasion and monitor species that could become invasive.

The data generated will be publicly available in a national database called Integrated Digitized Bio collections, or iDigBio, which has 24.7 million specimen records to date.

SGA sponsors online alternative to CMU Bookstore w attendance | 2a

By Jordyn HermaniStaff Reporter

To counter prices set by the Cen-tral Michigan University Bookstore, the Student Government Associa-tion partnered with Texts.com to create an alternative.

According the Texts.com, the average student at a four-year public university spends $1,200 on textbooks each year. The site hosts a free student exchange. Students are able to buy and sell books with their peers. There are no fees or commissions for student exchanges, and the platform is secure and designed to work with verified on-campus networks.

All users must authenticate with their CMU email accounts.

(They have) already been work-ing with a lot of colleges through their student governments. They contacted me in the summer about (cmich.texts.

com), said SGA President Chuck Mahone. I wanted to make sure that it was quality and that it was something that would benefit our students.

SGA Vice President Mariah Urueta and Mahone researched the com-pany and its relationships with other colleges before committing to the free partnership.

This website is really essential in

actually getting students in contact with students now that SBX is gone, Urueta said. This can be done in a safe way its all meeting on campus.

Urueta, who was largely in charge of setting up the website, said the set up was seamless.

(Texts.com) provided every-thing, she said. It didnt cost (SGA) any money.

SGA receives no money from the book sales.

Although the partnership was final-ized prior to the fall semester, Mahone said he wanted to be intentional with the release time of the website, holding off until students could utilize it.

(SGA) wanted to wait until this semester when books and everything are pertinent and people are trading and everything, he said.

Both Mahone and Urueta were in-terested in the idea as a means to offer an alternative to CMU Bookstore.

(Cmich.texts.com) is extremely important because it is really unfor-tunate and too bad but the university requires that professors make their students buy a book in the first place, Urueta said. Even if (students) have an online copy they still need to buy a book and are directed to the Bookstore, which I dont think is a bad thing, I do think it is a bad thing when it turns into a money-making process where the books are completely overpriced.

When asked how SGA would ben-efit from the creation of the webpage, Mahone said SGA benefits when students do.

The site is currently active and can be used to buy and sell textbooks. Fu-ture plans for the site, as talked about in previous meetings of the House of Representatives, could include being able to buy and sell used furniture, clothing or jewelry although such activities are not available yet.

Her father, Tom, had a disease called primary sclerosing chol-angitis, the hardening of the liver bile ducts. His only medical op-tion was to have a liver transplant.

Nine people were eliminated as possible donors after going through the testing process. In June, the Davison sophomore called a transplant coordinator and started the testing process.

Goyette was a match. When her mother, Cathy, found

out, she was concerned about the dangers of donating an organ.

When she said she was going to do it, I already felt like I had a wall closing in on me, Cathy said. She was insistent. My 19-year-old daughter be-came this unbe-lievable woman who had her head on her shoulders and was like, This is what I have to do.

Although doctors told Tom the pro-cess was relatively safe for the donor and often for the recipient, Tom said he was hesitant when he found out his daughter wanted to donate part of her liver to him.

I didnt want my daughter put in harms way, he said.

Though the surgery had risks, donors are able to return to their normal activities after a rest period, according to the New York University Medical Center. The liver is the only organ able to regenerate itself, so both the

donor and recipi-ents livers will grow back to full size about three months after surgery. Donors are able to return to work and school a couple months after surgery. Re-turning to normal activities gradually is recommended.

On Oct. 6, Goyette and her father went in for their surgeries. After about 12 hours,

both surgeries were done with no complica-tions. Doc-tors ended up taking out 60 percent of Goyettes liver and transplant-ing it to her father, whose entire liver was removed. Goyette is

Henry Ford Hospitals young-est living liver donor.

Today, Toms recovery is going smoothly. He must get blood work every week and will have to do follow-ups for the rest of his life to make sure his body is not rejecting the liver. Though his recovery will be a lifelong process, Tom credits his daughter for saving his life.

According to 2013 game-by-game announced attendance figures, CMU averaged 13,223 people each game, during five home games last season.

The 2013 football paid attendance summary sent to the NCAA states that CMU averaged 15,332.6 people during the same five home games. Students averaged 3,064 in paid attendance this season, accounting for 19.98 percent of the total.

Dave Heeke, CMU athletic director, commented on the more than 2,000 person gap between announced an actual paid attendance in April.

cONTINUED FROM 1 a

ATTendAnCe | It is one component that many institutions across the country have to wrestle with, Heeke said. Our feeling is, lets make sure we dont have to worry about that so our focus can be on trying to attract people to come to the game to build our fan base year-to-year, not just game-to-game or over one season.

Heeke also suggested last spring that member schools do not need supervision from the NCAA when it comes to drawing a crowd.

Does it matter if you have no one at your game, or 15,000, or 110,000? Heeke asked. Does that somehow deem that you shouldnt play football at this school because you cant reach 15,000? If the school makes

the decision to play football, why should it matter? Its their decision how they want to manage the game and what they think their expec-tation is and what makes it a viable program.

The recent television deal be-tween the Mid-American Con-ference and ESPN is another factor to be considered by the department when attempting to market CMU football games.

Willey said the stadiums

atmosphere on game day is something that cannot be ap-preciated merely on television.

It obviously and defi-nitely has an impact on our gates, Willey said. We cant really do anything about that. Thats really a national issue. Even our power conferences have this issue. Its great to be able to get our product out to a national audience. There is value in that.

I couldnt be more proud of my daughter for being so selfless, he said. Its really quite amazing. Its something you wouldnt expect, to have your daughter step up and save your life.

Goyette said her recovery process has been very good. She pushed herself to go back to school after being in the hospital. She said getting back to normal was what made her get better.

Goyette does not have regrets about the transplant, although for the first two weeks she couldnt drive.

Now Im clear to do any-thing, she said.

While her friends and fam-ily look at her as a hero, Goy-ette doesnt see it like that.

A lot of people call me a hero or an angel or say I saved his life, but I think, who wouldnt do that? she said. I wanted him to see me gradu-

ate from college, follow my dreams, walk me down the aisle. Wy wouldnt you want to do that for your dad? Hes just so special to me.

INSIDE LIFE

By Emily DeRuiterStaff Reporter

Kenneth Barber loves his fam-ily, and serves them faithfully. But here on campus, he has learned to serve a different community: Campus Dining.

Barber is a team leader at the Fresh Food Company and started working there last spring. Despite working an estimated 20-30 hours a week, he enjoys the chance it gives him to interact with people and considers the community to be one of its main attractions.

I love working here. To be hon-est, its a great atmosphere, the Grand Ledge senior said. Just walk around, and you will experience it. Its really kind of crazy how you will be doing your work and just have the ability to talk and joke, and everybody just gets along.

Positive attitudes and teamwork are two of the main components the job requires, according to Bar-ber. At first he didnt understand what those qualities had to do with serving food, but now he under-stands why it was emphasized.

Theres so many little things that pop up, Barber said. And the next thing you know, you are

trying to get together a bunch of sandwiches or something at the bakery for a line of students, and you have got to jump in and help.

The helpfulness of coworkers has saved him more than once. In one instance, a coworker took Barbers shift so he could go to a lecture for extra credit.

There have been times where I noticed I was falling behind, Barber said. But because every-body here is so great, I feel like I am able to talk to any anyone and say, Hey do you think you can do this shift for me? Ive really got to study for this exam, or Ive really go to write this paper, and you can always find someone to help you out.

As team leader Barber mainly aids and directs his coworkers. Often, he can be found work-ing in the bakery section, too. According to Barber, working in customer service is not bad, and students actually treat servers fairly well.

They are always very polite, and almost all of them say thank you, Barber said. They treat us very respectfully. Of course, they dont know at the time that Im a team leader. They just think Im

Gingerbread cookies are no lon-ger exclusively meant as a fun holi-day treat but as a way to educate people on gender and sexuality.

The Center for Inclusion and Diversity held a Genderbread Cookie decorating event Tuesday from 12-3 p.m. where students decorated cookies while learning about gender and walking away with a unique snack.

I liked the event because it promoted both Christmas spirit and awareness, said Marysville freshman Delany Lemke.

Transcend president and Royal Oak junior Kai Niezgoda, believes that addressing little known aspects like gender expression and gender identity is always an important topic.

People seem to have loose or no knowledge on gender and how it affects their sense of self and how it affects others as well. This has the chance to expand peoples knowledge, Niezgoda said.

Groups of friends came throughout the day, creating a relaxing atmosphere to decorate the genderbread cookies in during what Niezgoda understands to be a stressful time of the semester.

Various types of cookies are commonly used by Transcend with diagrams to educate students on the different types of gender and sexual orientations.

Genderbread people give peo-

Cookie decorating sparks conversation about gender

ple a way to represent their gender in a visual way and they wanted to do it through a cookie and more relaxed way, Niezgoda said.

The concept of genderbread people wasnt fully understood by some visitors. Once explained, participants happily decorated the cookies with frosting and sprinkles while talking to other participants.

another student doing my thing.Working with people is one of

Barbers favorite parts of the job, and it is why he took it up in the first place. Majoring in psychol-ogy and planning to become a novelist, Barber really thinks this job has helped him with his un-

derstanding of people.You meet a lot of people who

are a lot like you, Barber said. A lot of people here are just going to school trying to get through, and you find out you have a lot in com-mon with a lot of people that you never really would have expected.

Participants were allowed to decorate the cookies without needing a specific gender, spark-ing a conversation about gender neutrality awareness.

Its not a conversation that happens a lot so its a good place for it to foster in in an approach-able way, said Mount Pleasant junior Noelle Goffnett. We hope we succeeded in that.

The landscape of higher education in Michigan is changing. As universities in the state evolve to address a changing job market, state funding cuts and shrinking high school graduating classes, Central Michigan University can remain relevant by establishing innovation as a continuing part of its business plan.

In 1949, British author George Orwell published the novel 1984, in which an oppressive government monitors every citizens thoughts and actions as a precaution against a powerful central government.

Today, the idea of Big Brother watching us is thrown around constantly by political pundits decrying an overbear-ing government.

Following the shooting death of Michael Brown, his family is pushing for the Michael Brown Law, which would require body cameras to be affixed to all on-duty police officers to prevent the use of excessive force. On Monday, the Obama Administra-tion announced its $75 million Body Worn Camera Partner-ship Program, which would give a 50 percent match to state and local police departments that purchase body cameras.

In keeping with his aggres-sive leadership style, Obama is drafting an executive order that will require federal agen-cies with programs to supply body cameras to work with law enforcement, civil rights and civil liberties organizations to recommend changes.

The major flaw of Obamas body camera plan is that it fails to address the actual issues at hand, which are the rules of en-gagement for police officers and the militarization of local police.

Bigger Brother (the Federal Government) keeping an extra 50,000 eyes on Big Brother (lo-cal police), not only completely ignores the issues concerning the population, but having the executive branch sign an order compelling anyone, even police, to be monitored by a body camera screams of the excessive surveil-lance from Orwells dystopia.

With specific regard to the Brown shooting, body cam-eras would probably not have changed the behavior of Officer Darren Wilson, who told ABC News: I have a clear con-science, and went on to affirm I did my job right.

Wilsons confidence that he fol-lowed the letter of the law, as well as the grand jurys agreement with his position only further demonstrates the matter is not a lack of police accountability but of law and policy.

The Obama administration is not seeking to reform or eliminate programs that furnish local law enforcement with military equip-ment or calling for a reforma-tion of the rules of engagement for police officers. Advocates of civil liberties must recognize that going down the slippery slope of strapping a camera to an individuals body to monitor them throughout the day will not change the rules that govern that individuals actions.

If we are truly concerned about the behavior of police, then the logical next step is to control our civil servants using the principles this nation was founded on: law and order - not sweeping executive control and personal monitoring.

Innovate to survIveMany universities are criticized

for being unable to make important changes to their academics in a timely manor. CMU appears to be holding its own, evolving and adjust-ing its offerings to address the needs of businesses in our state, and the interests of students.

While freshman enrollment climbed this year, university officials are already preparing for its decline. That decrease will mean a massive loss in tuition dollars.

At his October State of the University address, President George Ross reported by 2020 on-campus enrollment could shrink to just 17,500 students, the lowest number recorded by the Office of Institutional Research since fall 1999 when overall enrollment

was 17,789.This loss could cost the university

$50 million over the next six years. It is a problem that will take creativ-

ity to overcome.With new programs intended to

attract more students to CMU, our university must continue to push forward, relying on an evolving list of curriculums.

Building upon and developing programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, CMU has expanded its College of Health Professions to meet the growing enrollment demands, while continuing to revolutionize medical education with its regionally focused College of Medicine.

A lack of skillfully trained

workers to utilize state-of-the-art technology presents a growing opportunity. STEM could be the answer to employing thousands of college graduates each year.

CMU has clearly recognized this need. The university deserves com-mendation for beginning to act. We are at a crossroads to continue to be rel-evant while the needs of our state shift away from CMUs mission as a regional teaching and liberal arts college.

Amid the continued growth of other Michigan universities, many of which have boasted a medical college and STEM focus for years, CMU must also ask why we are behind.

Our state funding has begun to rebuild after Gov. Rick Snyder cut education funding statewide by 20

percent in 2011. Although the ripple effect has continued to pose a chal-lenge, CMU must endeavor to be distinguished among the top-tier universities Michigan.

The rural location and small-town feel of CMU may not attract students looking for the prestige of Michigans two Big 10 schools.

So, we must be unique. CMU must continue to identify interests and needs and reflect those findings in new and unique academic programs.

We must be undaunted by the challenges before and push for more distinctive and unique pursuits for our students to follow.

We must innovate. This is how we will survive. This is how your school will continue to matter.

Changing with the times

College of Medicine CMEDs first class of graduate students began their studies last year. The medical college is focused on sending trained physicians to regions of upper and middle Michigan experiencing shortages of Medical Professionals.

Fermentation science majorIn response to statewide interest in craft beer, CMU offers students the opportunity to learn how to craft their own brews, and establish their own breweries.

video game classThe College of Communication and Fine Arts is now offering COM255B: First Person Rheto-ric: Video Games. This class is in response to the growing demand of the medium being treated is a legitimate art form.

CMu leads in saP certificationNearly 850 of the Fortune 1,000 companies utilize System Appli-cations and Programs software. Corporations like 3M, Dow Corning, Harley-Davidson, Hewlett Packard and IBM recruit at CMU because of sudents proficiency recent SAP certification program.

Department of entrepreneurshipWith a newly-established department of entrepreneurship, CMU looks to build upon the success of its nationally recog-nized school of business, while further meeting the growing needs of prospec-tive students, who ultimately need to be prepared for the changing job market.

Biosciences building Construction is underway on CMUs $95 million Biosciences Building which will offer students more lab space and facilities for STEM research.

By Brianne TwiddyStaff Reporter

Jake Wolins life was changed when he received a Facebook message from the record label LoudDJ Records asking him to sign with the company last summer.

I was really excited. I was having a bad day, and it ended up making my day, the Marshall sophomore said. The message was along the lines of hey, we saw your work on Sound-cloud and Youtube, and we were wondering if we could sign you. Then they sent the paperwork.

With four years of hard work as a DJ finally paying off, he let his excitement to take over and was telling everyone once he found out. He has yet to meet with the new Miami-based label, but plans on travel-ing to Miami next month to have their first face-to-face meeting.

While Wolin grew up with a passion for music, he actually just fell into the career as a DJ. A friend of his had been throwing a New Years Eve party when the DJ suddenly backed out. Remembering that Wolin, who plays the guitar, piano, drums, tuba and trombone, had experience with creating music and owned his own dinky little DJ controller, the friend asked him to DJ the party.

I was terrible, he said. I didnt know what I was doing, but it was fun. It was weird because I hadnt done anything like that before. I was doing a little electronic music with my computer but nothing serious.

By 2012, Wolin found himself playing in front of a crowd of 3,000 people in

spinning to success

Colorado when the original DJ of the party suddenly fell ill.

Everyone was having a great time. It was nerve-racking, but a good kind of nerve-racking, he said. I also like small get-to-gethers. Theyre intimate, because youre close to the people and can interact with them.

Wolin has only played at house parties in Mount

Pleasant while focusing on his third album. His album, Right Now EP (EM series) by Jay Whiles, can be found on iTunes and sold over 100 copies in its first week.

The music Im in is al-ways changing. Its hard be-ing a producer in the elec-tronic music field and know where its going because someone always has a new sound, he said. You have to get in the game ahead of

it and do something that no one has heard.

Hes still developing his own style and always carries his laptop with him in case hes ever hit with sudden inspiration. Once, while on a trip to France, he found himself so inspired by the spectacular scenery that he whipped out his laptop and wrote a song based on the happi-ness and love he felt.

I like to remix songs that have a lot of meaning to mix and put my own foot forward with that. Im not doing this for the fame, Wolin said. I want people to feel what I feel so they can change what they think a bit.

For him, working some-times up to three months on a single song is worth seeing the happiness and hope in the young DJs eyes

when he reminds them that success is possible.

Just focus on your mu-sic. Dont let anyone bring you down or listen to peo-ple who say electric music is trash, which Ive heard a lot of people say. They say its just people press-ing buttons on a computer, but thats the farthest thing from the truth, Wolin said. Dont let someone say to stop what youre doing.

Before senior year, there are a few CMU bucket list items that should be crossed off. This may or may not include educational and non-educational acts. After all, this is college.

EducationalGo to MainStage Each

year, at the beginning of the school year, MainStage takes place in the Student Activity Center parking lot near Rose Pond. This event allows students to get ac-quainted with the clubs at CMU and local businesses.

Join an RSO If you dont know what RSO stands for, then definitely find out. Join a Registered Student Organization. Becoming involved with a club on cam-pus allows you to meet with others that share an interest with you.

CMU Up All Night Dur-ing the spring semester the Office of Student Activities and Involvement and Pro-gram Board host this event.

Students can play games, swim, eat and much more in the SAC from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., said Flint senior Ken-dall Young. We get a good turn out every year.

Attend a career fair Each semester, academic departments host career fairs. Students need to take advantage of this. You get to meet people in your desired field and gain information to one day join them. Seriously, just going is an experience within itself and this will benefit you in the long run.

non-Educational:Attend a CMU football

game- Students get in free, so why not show some school

spirit? Before the game, stop by the back lots and tailgate with fellow Chippewas at home games.

Pint Night Every Tues-day OKellys and Wayside Central host Pint Night. When pints of selected beers are $2, and students come together in celebration of the cost efficiency.

Go to Wayside Central This is the club scene in Mount Pleasant, and if you havent been at least once, then you need to experi-ence it for yourself. I have friends that go to Wayside frequently, and I hear funny stories about people in cages, said Detroit junior Kerry Davis. You are with your friends during the week, and its your time to wind down and have a good time for the night.

Tube Down the Chippewa River

Once the 70-plus degree weather hits Mount Pleasant, the need to swim becomes intense. The Chip River pro-vides the place to do it. Go in a group or meet people there. Students should take a tube ride down the river before they leave Mount Pleasant.

Have a Jesus Dog While out on the weekends stop by the corner of Main and Bellows Streets. Get in line, and taste a Jesus Dog. Its free.

Partake in Homecoming Weekend

A weekend that requires school spirit is essential to take part in. There are many homecoming weekend fes-tivities offered, ranging from parades, tailgates, scavenger hunts and hopefully a big win.

Rivalry Weekend (CMU vs. WMU) A weekend no Chippewa should miss, especially when its on our home turf. Though it usu-ally retains a heavy party-ing atmosphere, its also a chance to further engage in school spirit.

Dont miss activities before you graduate

With only four seniors on the 2014 roster, finding team chemistry did not come easy for the Chippewas this fall.

CMUs schedule included some of the National College Athletic Associations best programs, which tested Head Coach Cristy Freeses group early and often.

In the first four games, CMU faced the likes of national ranked teams such as Duke University and University of Michigan.

We went through some growing pains (earlier in the season) we had to build our defense from scratch, Freese said.

Regular season MAc Title completes field hockey season

As a sports reporter, the first thing you are taught is to stay away from becoming a fan. Youre supposed to detach your emotions from the team and cover it objectively.

Covering the 2014 Central Michi-gan University field hockey team blurred that line for me. Its hard to stay detached when you watch a team hit rock bottom and then lift itself up to its first regular season Mid-American Conference Title since 2002.

Covering field hockey was exhilarating

IanAshbury

Staff Reporter

Allowing 15 goals and being shutout twice in a three-game road trip in California, the Chippewas had rough start to the season. At that point the CMU women had

totaled only six goals. It was hard to watch, but harder to report.

The MAC season could not have come at a better time for CMU. The Chippewas made a state-ment with a win against Ball State University, scoring two goals and shutting the Cardinals out.

CMU started conference play undefeated through four games.

After the women faced off against MAC opponent Longwood Univer-sity, confidence on the team began to grow. Before a matchup with CMU, Longwood was winless on the road through nine games. In the second half against CMU, the Lancers were up 3-1 and were look-ing to secure their first road win of the year.

Thats when the official turning point in the Chippewas season occurred.

Senior Cayleigh Immelman scored two goals within two minutes of play. Her third was a slow shot that went over the goalkeepers shoulder and in for the hat-trick winner.

After that performance, I started to get excited.

CMUs only loss in MAC play this season came against Ohio Univer-sity in overtime.

An overall record of 7-12 looks deceiving. Lost in the course of the season is five of those wins oc-curred against conference oppo-nents. CMU allowed 55 goals in the season, while scoring 26. Of those 55 goals allowed, just nine were al-

lowed in MAC play. Kent State Univeristy came to

Mount Pleasant having won all of their previous matches against CMU since 2007.

There was no doubt in my mind that CMU would beat the Golden Flashes. I had seen this team come back before, and knew this time would be no different.

In typical fashion, Immelman scored the eventual game-winner off a late match corner goal.

Seeing how this team came together to achieve their collective goal was special.

Reporting on field hockey taught me a lot about the game.

More importantly, the CMU field hockey team now has a fan for life.

MAC-nificent

The following six players will join the Chippewas next fall.

In its first nine games, Central Michigan University field hockey team earned just one win. Once Mid-American Conference play started, the team came together and won its first regular season title since 2002.

After promising they would claim a conference title in 2014, Central Michi-gan Universitys football team will watch Fridays Mid-American Conference Championship game from home.

The Chippewas find out on Sunday during the an-nual ESPN College Football Selection Show if they will play in a bowl game.

The 2014 regular season was filled with moments of great plays and missed op-portunities.

Heres the good, the bad and the ugly from the 2014 CMU football season.

Wonderful Wins

Key victories against Pur-due University and North-ern Illinois University were the defining high points of the Chippewas 2014 cam-paign.

CMU did not just beat Big 10 foe Purdue, which fin-ished the season 3-9. They handled the Boilermakers with ease.

Senior running back Thomas Rawls ran for 155 yards and two scores while sophomore quarterback Cooper Rush was impres-sive with two scores of his own against Purdue.

A victory on the road at Northern Illinois more than a month later might have been even more impressive. The Chippewas made it look like the NIU dynasty had crumbled, dominating them in DeKalb, Ill. 34-17.

Making a stateMentNIU is 38-2 in the MAC

since 2010, winning the MAC West all five sea-sons, including this season. Both losses in the MAC have been to Dan Enos and the Chippewas.

At that point, Rawls looked like he was on his way to being the top running back in the country. While the Chip-pewas had one loss in the MAC against Toledo at the time, they put them-selves in the run-ning for the MAC West and looked unbeatable with Rawls on their side.

too close for coMfort

A close win against Mi-

Football 2014: The good, the bad and the ugly

ami (Ohio) and a close loss to Western Michigan were the exceptions.

The RedHawks did not win a single game in 2013. While

much had changed during the offseason, MU came a

yard away from tying the game as time expired,

which was some-thing Chippewa fans would like to forget.

CMU should have been pe-nalized on the final play for pass interference when

junior defensive back Kavon Frazier had a hand inside the helmet of a RedHawks receiver, who dropped the pass in the end zone.

Bronco BustedA loss to the Broncos

is never pretty, but the Chippewas hung with the Broncos for the majority of the game.

Western Michigan has improved tremendously since last season, finishing 8-4 in 2014. Sure, the loss hurts, but it wasnt going to be easy to sink Western Michigans boat.

Bad BehaviorRawls being arrested on

felony charges for help-

ing steal a purse and credit cards wasnt a positive situation for CMU. The mystery swirled and the team refused to answer questions after a 40-3 loss to by Syracuse.

Seven days earlier, the running back was the hero at Purdue, but CMU scrounged 34 rushing yards without him against the Orange.

Rawls did admit to wrongdoing accepted a plea deal and was charged with a misdemeanor, but the dam-age had been done. Rawls was not the only Chippewa in legal trouble, he was just the most notable.

Handshake-gate spilled a similar stain on the program. Four of CMUs

most respected leaders, including record-shattering senior wide receiver Titus Davis, refused to shake hands with the Broncos after the coin toss, fueling the fire of the rivalry.

The four players lost their captain status, and along with the rest of the team, have been shielded from the media since the incident.

a kick to the gutOn the field, a late 55-yard Ball State field goal helping the Cardinals beat CMU 32-29 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium doomed the Chippewas to MAC mediocrity. It was a game they could have won and should have won.

It was a season of great promise that ended with great disappointment.

The Central Michigan Uni-versity volleyball team failed to reach the Mid-American Con-ference Tournament in 2014.

The Chippewas finished the year 10-18 overall and 5-11 in the MAC, good enough for ninth place, just one spot short of making the postseason tournament.

CMU started the season 0-6 and seemed to be on route to a disastrous year.

Bouncing back from the slow start, the women won six of their next seven matches including a five game-winning streak to seemingly right the ship and survive nonconfer-ence competition.

In MAC play, the women were unable to get the wins that mattered most. The Chip-pewas went 1-9 against teams that ended the season with winning records in 2014.

The MAC is a tough con-ference to play in, redshirt freshman Taylor Robertson said. You have to bring it every night.

At times, the Chippewas were the epitome of incon-sistency.

The women failed to win back-to-back games all season and were 0-5 in matches pre-ceding a win.

The Chippewas also often fell short in tightly contested

matches. CMU was 0-6 in matches

that came down to the fifth and final set, including the crucial final two games of the season, which the Chippewa spent battling for the final MAC Tournament spot.

Head Coach Erik Olson said that the amount of young talent on the team was a large part of the teams struggles this fall.

We were young this year, Olson said. I wouldnt say I expected the season to go this way, but I was not surprised that it did.

The women will lose three seniors from this years squad, Kaitlyn McIntyre, Danielle Thompson and Hallie Enderle.

We learned a lot from our seniors, Robertson said. They led us all year, and next year its going to be tough without them.

Playing through a knee-inju-ry midway through the season, McIntyre finished the season with 327 kills, the lowest total of her career.

This year K-Mac learned how to be a more steady player, Olson said.

Thompson split time with freshman setter Kylie Copple, finishing the year with 298 assists. With limited playing time, Enderle took on the role player position and tallied 111 kills and 25 digs.

With 11 returners next season, including four fresh-men, Olson said he believes the struggles the team went through will pay off in the greater scheme of the pro-

grams development. Its not just youth, he said.

Its first-time players and first time in their positions starting. You put all that together and you have those ups and downs and inconsistencies.

Key returners for the women will be juniors Kristen Reenders, Angelique White, and freshman Jordan Bueter.

Reenders was a staple for the Chippewas defense, finish-ing fourth in the MAC in total digs with 517, and fourth in digs per set, averaging 4.66.

Reenders is one of the best defensive specialists in the MAC, Olson said. Going into her senior season, as she continues to get better, she will become more effective.

White had a breakout season and was arguably the teams most consistent player. She ended the year fifth in the conference in blocks with 1.06 per set.

White became a star in terms of blocking, Olson said. Shes very athletic, and will have a great season next year.

Copple emerged as a top notch setter in the MAC tal-lying 830 assists, good for 9.33 per set in just her first year in the maroon and gold.

For the young players on CMUs roster, 2014 was a step-ping stone.

This season put a huge investment in experience on our players, Olson said. Its probably the biggest invest-ment weve ever had to make in our players.

Inconsistency blocks volleyballteam from postseason tournament

Central Michigan Life | File PhotoSenior setter Danielle Thompson sets the ball for junior middle blocker Angelique White during the Chippewas 3-0 victory over Toledo on Nov. 8, 2014 in McGuirk Arena.

The end of non-confer-ence play, a three game sweep in California at the hands of Pacific University, Stanford University and UC Davis were how the Chippewas got their start in 2014.

CMU scored a combined three goals during that stretch while allowing five in each. While it was the clear low point of the sea-son, a line-up change late against UC Davis provided a spark for the team.

After being shutout in two consecutive games on the road, Freese moved ju-nior Kaysie Gregory to the forward line. The result was three goals scored by CMU, one by Gregory and two from freshman Haley Bova.

We wanted to move Kaysie up before, Freese said. Putting her up on

the forward line was key for us.

When MAC play started, the team chemistry ignited, and the defense clicked af-ter getting adjusted to some new faces.

CMU won its first four conference games. With an overtime loss to Ohio Uni-versity, a game against Kent State University was a must win for the regular season conference crown.

The Golden Flashes came to Mount Pleasant with a 5-0 record in the MAC. Since 2007, KSU had won every regular season game against CMU.

A 2-1 win over KSU se-cured the MAC title for the Chippewas, and the team finished 5-1 in the confer-ence.

In the conference tournament, CMU fell to OU 2-1 in a shootout in the semi-finals.

We have a lot of young talent that got good playing time this year, and now were used to being in the tournament, Freese said.

Finishing 6-11-2 on the season, the Central Michigan University womens soccer team nearly qualified for the 2014 Mid-American Confer-ence Tournament.

A season after finishing MAC play undefeated, the Chippewas were 4-6-1 in the MAC this fall.

Although the numbers stack against CMU, the Chip-pewas made a miraculous turn-around during the sec-ond half of the season, which almost earned them a spot in the postseason tournament.

We didnt accomplish some of the things we set out to do second-year head coach Peter McGahey said. But in terms of outcome, we will look back at this season as foundation forming.

CMU was 1-5 in their first six matches, and finished their final five at 3-1-1.

The Chippewas ended 2014 on a four-game unbeaten streak and were not scored on during their final eight hours of playing time.

The end of the season was determined by the start of our MAC season, McGahey said. Unfortunately, we couldnt overcome that start even with a run at the end.

Three SeniorSForwards Laura Gosse,

Emily Cooksey and Jennifer Bea Gassman showed their leadership this fall.

Gosse was named Second Team All-MAC and had more goals, shots, and shots on goal than any other Chip-pewa in 2014. Gosse tallied three game-winners during the season.

Cooksey, second behind Gosse in shots and shots on goal, led the team in assists. Cooksey scored two while as-sisting two in her final season.

Gassman scored two goals this season. Both were game-winners.

have a very interesting legacy that this class will leave, McGahey said. They have been through all the elements of college soccer. They have seen the highest of highs in terms of qualifying for the NCAA Tournament and MAC Championships. They have been through the struggles and difficulties of change, players like Bea who have been here for five years have played under three coaches.

Emily Cooksey was the leading scorer last season. She was injured for the first part of the season this year. Through rehabilitation of her form, she accepted the role she found herself in as the Chippewas battled through losses.

Gosse finished in the Top

10 in scoring in CMU history this year.

Typically a center for-ward, Gosse was asked to play midfield.

A cruciAl keeper chAngePart of the Chippewas mid-

season turnaround as due to a critical coaching move.

McGahey benched goal-keeper Maddy Bunnell in favor sophomore Heather Leaufer.

Laeufer ended her season without letting in a single goal in nearly eight hours, manag-ing five clean sheets in 2014.

Inheriting a 2-8-1 record as she started her first game, Leaufer allowed six goals after being given opportunity.

The defensive unit in front of the Leaufer clicked.

Kaylin Hoomaian, a

sophomore with experience, played well.

Freshman Savannah Beetcher, a Boulder Colo.-native, made her presence known by starting all but two games and every conference match in 2014.

oTher highlighTS Kaelyn Korte, was another

Chippewa that made a huge impact this fall.

Kortes ability to play in the offensive and defensive third,helped the team transi-tional periods.

She will be regarded as arguably CMUs best returning senior in 2015.

CMU struggled to find the net early in 2014.

It took the women 16 matches to score more than

two goals in a game. As a team, CMU was

outshot by opponents by a margin of 121 shots.

The Chippewas scored 18 goals this fall. Opponents nearly doubled that figure.

Despite the slanted statistics, McGahey said Chippewas fans have a lot to look forward to in

the coming soccer years. I am looking forward to

the continued growth next season, he said. I feel that the foundation of under-standing how we want to play is rolling within the team. The fire is burning between the staff and the players for more next season.

The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio

Kosta Karageorge, a de-fensive tackle on the Ohio State University football team, left his apartment early on Nov. 26, just after he sent a cryptic text to his mother.

His family reported him missing and, throughout the holiday weekend, searchers combed Colum-bus looking for him.

Sunday, a woman and her son were sift-ing through a dumpster near 6th and Courtland avenues when they found his body. The dumpster is around the corner from Karageorges apartment on E. 7th Avenue, close to the Short North Kroger.

The 22-year-old ap-peared to have killed himself, police said. A handgun was found near his body inside the dump-ster.

The text he had sent said he was sorry, if I am an embarrassment, but these concussions have my head all f--- up.

Sunday, about 150 stu-dents and friends gath-

ered for a somber vigil on the Ohio State Oval. There were stories, prayers and a performance of Carmen, Ohio, the school alma mater, by a few members of the marching band.

Karageorge was remem-bered as a big guy with a heart to match who had a knack for raising the spirits of those who knew him.

Its devastating, said Craig Thomas, 21, a senior who was on the OSU wrestling team with Karageorge. Thomas had known him since high school.

Karageorge was plan-ning to rejoin the Ohio State wrestling team after the football season ended.

The wrestling team practiced at 5 p.m. Sun-day, about an hour after the news broke about the body being found. OSU wrestling coach Tom Ryan said the athletic depart-ment provided counselors for the team.

There were a lot of tears, he said. There was a lot of crying. That says something because you know how men are. We dont cry in front of

anybody and dont show weakness. But it was emo-tional.

Ryan said many on the team wondered if they could have done anything to prevent the tragedy.

Ive been doing this for 22 years. This is as tough as it gets, he said.

Columbus Police Sgt. Rich Weiner said investi-gators were able to iden-tify Karageorges body in part by his tattoos.

Weiner said police did not know if the handgun found inside the dumpster belonged to Karageorge.

We are working to confirm that, Weiner said.

Karageorges mother, Susan, told police that her son had had several con-cussions and had a few spells of being extremely confused, according to a police report. Ryan said Karageorge didnt have any documented concus-sions as a wrestler.

Football players and those who were on OSUs wrestling team with Kara-george were among those who attended the vigil last night on the Oval.

Kevyn Orr said this morn-ing he plans to resign as De-troits emergency manager in the next week or two.

Orr told a group of Oakland County business leaders he hopes hes put the city of Detroit in position from which it can continue to prosper after decades of bad management.

Somebody asked me, How do you define success in Detroit? he said to about 200 people at the Troy Mar-

riott for the countys annual meeting of area business leaders. I said Getting out without getting indicted, he said. The crowd respond-ing with laughter.

Orr was announced as the citys financial manager in March 2013, just as former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was being convicted in federal court of corruption while in office. It was deli-cate water to tread, he said. But the planning had begun years before, as Gov. Rick Snyder was taking office.

He decided he was

going to take on one of the most long-standing, troublesome issues in his state for the benefit of his residents by starting a re-view of Detroit, Orr said of the citys financial situation. Weve been doing this for over three years. Its time to bring it to a close.

With Snyders permis-sion and under Orrs direction, the city filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection on July 18, 2013, claiming debts and projected long-term obli-gations of $18 billion.

Michigan football Head Coach Brady Hoke has been fired after four seasons, Michigan interim athletic director Jim Hackett an-nounced at a news confer-ence Tuesday.

The move was expected after Hoke finished his fourth season with a 5-7 record. He was 31-20 overall but with a descending arc. He went 11-2 his first year,

capped by a Sugar Bowl win, followed by seasons of 8-5, 7-6 and 5-7.

I feel very fortunate to have been an assistant and head coach at the University of Michigan, Hoke said in a statement. I will always support the university and this football program. ... I will miss the relationships that Ive been fortunate enough to make within this university and community. I additionally appreciate all of the support

our fans, alumni, students, administration and former players have provided our program. I leave with fond memories of my experience at Michigan.

Hoke, a former Ball State linebacker who led turn-arounds at Ball State and San Diego State, was hired in 2011 to replace Rich Rodriguez.

Rodriguez, considered a failure after just three years, was fired after going 7-6 in 2010.
