Revenue increase for Health Professions
By Adrian HeddenSenior Reporter
During a period of campus-wide defi cits in funding and enrollment, one of Central Michigan Univer-sity’s smallest academic colleges is seeing modest growth.
The College of Health Profes-sions has shown continual revenue growth over the last four years. This year, CHP is projecting a modest 0.79-percent growth to $38.4 mil-lion, up slightly from last year’s total revenue of $38.1 million.
Edwardsberg junior Dylan Nyl-und said the promise of employment is responsible for the increased enrollment and subsequent budgets.
“The job security out there is pretty good,” he said. “On top of that, it’s one of the most growing industries.”
Studying exercise science and kinesiology, Nylund has observed recent advances in the kinesiology program attracting more students.
When he arrived at CMU, the fi eld was a singular program and was later expanded to o� er special-ized training in clinical exercise sci-ence and health fi tness, along with kinesiology.
After graduate school, Nylund is certain he’ll get a job.
“I know CMU’s employment rates are high,” he said. “It’s pretty busy (at CHP). Classes are always full.”
Midland graduate student Lauren Haskin believes her choice to enter the physician assistant program will prove to be employable during a time of increasing costs in the medi-cal fi eld.
“PAs are really needed when costs are high,” she said. “Employing a PA costs a lot less than a physician, and we can do a lot of the same things.”
CHP Dean Christopher Inger-soll thinks people are taking notice of the needs. He said shortages in health care personnel can account for the growing employability.
“It’s just a societal thing,” In-gersoll said. “Folks view health professions as a safe job to go into. We have an aging population. We’re providing for shortages.”

Gillian Cruce needs a job.The Coruna freshman wants to
work so badly that she is already looking into internships and clubs as she begins her career at Central Michigan University.
For many CMU students, fi nding a job — and choosing an employable major — is paramount to their college education.
“It’s defi nitely important to fi nd a job,” Cruce said. “That’s how you get money. It’s what I came here to do.”

Katy Kildee | Assistant Photo EditorCorunna freshman Gillian Cruce, a Broadcast and Cinematic Arts major, has already begun the search for internships and job experience in her first year of college.
The Career Pathtive job market and eager to make professional contacts with her fellow classmates. Majoring in broadcast journalism, she faces the challenge of fi nding a job after college.
According to a survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal, composed using 2010 U.S. Census data, choosing a major could have a direct link to a student’s future employability.
The survey fi nds that a major in clinical psychology is the degree with the highest unemployment rate at 19.5 percent, with miscellaneous fi ne arts and U.S. history following suit at 16.2 and 15.1 percent, respectively. In contrast, the survey revealed actuarial science and teacher education to have the lowest unemployment rates at zero and 1.1 percent each.
Director of Career Services Julia Sherlock said it is imperative for stu-dents to begin considering employ-ment early on in their college careers.
“If you’re not ready to choose a partner in the employment dance by senior year, the activi-ties will drive you, not the other
way around,” she said. “(Students) will become underemployed. The earlier you start, the more opportu-nities you will have.”
Sherlock said her o� ce works closer with students in liberal and applied arts fi elds, since their degrees are often not tied to specifi c jobs.
She said students in accounting and information technology are most frequently placed into jobs.
“(Liberal arts students) are more driving it themselves,” Sherlock said.

Government shutdown could have impact in long-term on CMU

The federal government shut-down has yet to have any major impact on Central Michigan Uni-versity, although that could change if it continues into November.
The university’s ability to sub-mit grant proposals is one of the few operations feeling any effects in the three days since the federal government shut down over a congressional failure to reach an agreement on funding.
The ROTC is also feeling the pinch after having two of its staff members members furloughed. In addition, the university medi-cal clinic has been reduced to 30 percent of its usual staff and is not admitting new patients into drug trials at this time.
“Unless the stoppage goes into November, then we will not see any major impacts from the stop-page,” Provost Michael Gealt said. “I suspect in the coming week or two, we should see a resolution. It should be quick enough to where the issues we are worrying about won’t be real issues.”
Federal grant submissions have come to a stop, but any funding already given to CMU is still avail-able to be spent, Gealt said.
Students receiving federal Pell grants and loans will also not feel any effects of the shutdown.
“The (U.S.) Department of Edu-cation is forward-funded,” Gealt said. “They give us the money for
the students we have receiving Pell grants and service federal loans before the semester, so there is no issue. The money is already here, so there is no impact and we are dispersing it as we usually would.”
Should the shutdown last for several more weeks, however, it is unclear what kind of impact the university will feel.
“(Global Campus students) may not be able to process tuition pay-ments,” Gealt said. “We are not sure how broad this is. They are working with the Global Campus to get a handle on whether it will be all government agencies and how many students it will impact.”
If any issues do end up coming to fruition, Gealt wants to make sure students are not affected.
“We don’t want any student to be negatively impacted by the federal shutdown,” he said. “If there is a problem, which forces us to step in and forgive students of tuition fees so they can come to school, we will do that. This is not the students’ fault.”
Washington lawmakers remain at an impasse over funding the government.
Most congressional Republicans are calling for the A� ordable Care Act, or Obamacare, to be delayed, rolled back or defeated in order for a continuing resolution to pass.
Democrats have called on House Republicans to pass a clean CR without an Obamacare provision attached to it.

Barack Obama, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, Senate Ma-jority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and other congressional leaders at the White House on Wednesday was fruitless, resulting in no agree-ment to end the shutdown.
For now, Gealt is taking it day-by-day.
“I am trying each day to keep myself addressed with the issues,” he said. “We don’t want to make policies based on rumors. As soon as we get paper documentation, we will act on it.”

Ingersoll said the contin-ued increases have refl ected a growing student interest in
heath care fi elds.He said CMU has been
working with other health-care schools to meet the bour-
geoning demand. The College of Health Professions is plan-ning an informative event with Ferris State and Grand Valley Universities in November.
“We’re all trying to talk about how to address growth,” Ingersoll said. “We’re studying to see opportunities to meet the demand. I think the interest in health careers is going to con-tinue to grow for the forseeable future. We’re still the smallest college, so we’re looking to ad-dress the growing interest.”
The dean said health educa-tion and physical therapy are seeing increases in popular-ity. The physicians assistant program, Ingersoll said, will fi ll just 40 spots, despite the hundreds of applicants.
“It’s a thoughtful process,” he said. “Health care com-prises a very large percentage of the job market. If it tracks in the job market, we’d like to consider it. But we’re not in-terested in opening a program just to open one.”
Fourteen tenure-line instructors were added this year, Ingersoll said, com-prising a mixture of retire-ment replacements and new positions. He said CHP is currently at work with the
enrollment department to adjust to the expansions.
“We’re working very closely with (Vice President of Enroll-ment and Student Services) Steven Johnson to recruit new students, but that has to match the availability,” Ingersoll said. “A nursing program would be considered, depending on the available space. Recruiting faculty is di� cult.”
Ingersoll said he plans to at-tract more instructors through existing professional networks and competitive salaries.
“It’s like any other competi-tive market,” he said. “We need to get people to see our facili-ties. That helps out a lot.”
cent of graduates reporting part-time jobs.
Eleven percent of students are taking on graduate stud-ies, and 6.7 percent are still out of work.
“Students are the tool. There are certain interests that can place you in a job,” Sherlock said. “People need to be very competitive.”
Stevensville junior Victoria Bowman cited a need for pas-sion when choosing a major, in addition to job placement.
The pre-medical student also asserted the importance of career research from an early age.
“You shouldn’t major in something just to get a job,” Bowman said. “Students should fi nd an area they like and fi nd something that is employable. Pick a major, do research and go to job fairs. Do everything else as a hobby.”
Royal Oak senior Pat Louzon expects several years still reside between him and a job. The psychology major intends to enroll in a four-year graduate program after his last year at CMU and cautions fel-low students about going into
performance-based fi elds.“A job is the ultimate goal,
but it’s going to take a while,” Louzon said. “Once you get out of high school, you have to make a living. You go to college to fi gure out what fi eld you want to go into. It takes a
little while, but it might make you more money.”
Ann Arbor freshman Kelly Winn is undecided in her major but agrees that jobs are the driving purpose of higher education.
Winn hopes to become
a forensic psychiatrist and is worried about students who fail to have a career in their sights while attending college.
“(Students) need to get their act together if they want to prosper,” she said.
“I defi nitely need a job after college. It’s probably the most important thing. Money isn’t everything, but it will take you places.”

5K TO BENEFIT MOUNT PLEASANT
CHILDREN IMPACTED BY CANCER
Island Park is about to be turned pink.
A 5K run to benefi t chil-dren who have had parents pass away with cancer will take place Saturday at the park, 331 N. Main St.
Check-in for the Angel Wings Fund’s 2nd Annual Five Shades of Pink Run begins at 9 a.m. at the main pavilion near the basketball and tennis courts. The run costs $25 for adults and $10 for chil-dren who are 10 and under.
Following the format of the popular Color Run, local runners will race fi ve kilometers through Island Park and the area’s ad-joining trails, all the while being sprayed by pink corn starch, food coloring and fl our mixture.
Saturday’s race will benefit the Angel Wings Fund, an organiza-tion founded in 2009 by Mount Pleasant resident Keisha Brown. Brown was diagnosed with breast cancer in June 2007 and was touched by the immense support offered to her and her then 2-year-old daughter.
Since then, the organization has been providing support to children in Mount Pleasant who have had a parent pass away due to cancer. In addition, the Angel Wings Fund provides grants to local schools so students can be educated on breast health care and how to prevent cancer.

Speak Up, Speak out will be kicking off Coming Out Week with a discussion about the fu-ture of LGBTQ rights in Michigan.
The forum, titled “In the Courts, On the Ballots, In the Streets” will take place Monday at 7 p.m. in the Park Library Auditorium, off ering students a place to voice their opinions about important is-sues in the LGBTQ community.
“I think this forum is a good way to start off the week with some dialogue and to both give students the chance to educate each other about their experiences and to engage with each other about how it is that they relate to these issues,” assis-tant professor of philosophy Andrew Blom said.
The fi ve-person panel will discuss, among other issues, same-sex marriage and the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that ruled a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act, which allows states to not recognize same-sex mar-riages, as unconstitutional.

Central Michigan University’s O� ce of Academic A� airs is still in the process of reviewing Delta Chi’s recent suspension in the fraternity’s last appeal to the university.
Vice President of Enrollment and Student Services Steven Johnson is going over the case and will determine wheth-er or not to uphold, shorten, increase or throw out the fraternity’s suspension.
“No decision has been made yet. Steven is being very meticulous about this case and reviewing every document,” said Assistant Vice Presi-dent of Student A� airs Tony Voisin.
Delta Chi was handed a four-year suspension by the O� ce of Student Conduct in early September.
The fraternity was cited for an alcohol violation that alleg-edly occurred at an April party.
The exact nature of the alcohol vio-lation is still unknown as a Freedom of Information Act request fi led by Central Michigan Life was rejected on the grounds that the case is still open.
“We’re exhausting our last avenue of appeal. It’s up to Steven Johnson now to make the fi nal decision,” Delta Chi adviser Todd Levitt said.
The hearing process for a code of conduct violation starts with an investigation period, followed by a hearing panel consisting of one faculty or sta� member and two stu-dents pulled from the student body.
The appeal hearing consists of one faculty member, one sta� mem-ber and one student, each of whom were not part of the original hearing panel.
There is no set timetable for John-son to render a decision, Voisin said.

Central Michigan University’s newest buildings have been recognized for being some of the most environmentally friendly in the region.
The new graduate student apartments, which opened this year on north campus, became the fi rst multi-family building in the Midwest to receive a plati-num designator for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certifi cation.
LEED certifi cation, o� ered by the U.S. Green Building Council, is a program that provides third-party verifi cation for environ-mentally friendly buildings. To qualify, certain prerequisites must be met to achieve varying levels of certifi cation.
Even prior to earning the highest rating possible, achieving LEED certifi cation for the build-ings were a goal from the start, according to Linda Slater, director of Plant Engineering and Planning.
“During the design phase of the project, the CMU team worked with the architect using the LEED for homes checklist and established a goal of platinum certifi cation for this project,” she said.
According to Slater, the require-ments for certifi cation fall under a set of categories including innova-tion and design process, location and linkages, sustainable sites, water e� ciency, energy and atmo-sphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, awareness and education.
Steve Lawrence, CMU’s vice president for Facilities Manage-ment, said the LEED checklist is considered before every new proj-ect begins construction on campus.
“We go through the checklist, which has a lot of categories and fi gure out which ones we can do,” Lawrence said. “This helps guide us in design.”
For each requirement met, a certain amount of points are awarded. In order to achieve platinum certifi cation, 80 points are required.

Wedding bells are in the future for St. Johns seniors Michelle Boog and Pete Maniez after they were an-nounced the winners of the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort Dream Wed-ding Contest on Wednesday.
The win is the latest step in a re-markable journey for the couple, who were featured in the Aug. 22 edition of Central Michigan Life.
Since Boog was diagnosed with brain cancer in April 2011, the couple has been through a whirlwind of hardships, struggles and challenges that culminat-ed into the opportunity of a lifetime.
“When we were in the hospital and things were looking grim for Michelle, I was upset because of the life moments that we wouldn’t get to experience,” Ma-niez said. “We wouldn’t have been able to experience our wedding day or have had the ability to raise a family together.”
According to doctors, Michelle was not expected to survive the growth in her brain.
Miraculously, she made it through 48 hours of a medically induced coma in the hospital and has since made a healthy recovery.
In the wake of her recovery, the couple entered into the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort Dream Wedding Contest to enormous success and support, winning more than 25,000 votes online.
“It’s almost an indication of the suf-fering she had,” Greg Boog, Michelle’s father, said. “Of all the hard work that she had to do to come back from it.”
The support the couple received
was staggering. Votes rolled in from thousands of community members who had been made aware of Boog’s story through a web page set up by Maniez shortly after the diagnosis.
After winning the contest, the couple have begun the process of planning their dream wedding, complete with sa-lon and spa services, a three-night stay in the resort’s presidential or governor’s suites and catering for 600 guests.
While no concrete plans have been made, Boog has set a tentative wedding date of August 2015 and said she’s excited about the prospect of such a generous guest list.
“I would have never imagined hav-ing a wedding with 600 guests before this contest,” Boog said. “Pete and I
both have large families and when we sat down to plan our guest list, family alone was nearly 300.”
Following the nuptials, the two seniors plan to settle and fi nd work in the mid-Michigan area.
To Maniez, the greatest part of the experience is not the glamorous dream wedding but the chance of fulfi lling his dream life with the woman he loves.
“I don’t consider our upcoming wedding a wedding at all,” he said. “It is really a celebration of what we have been through and getting everyone from our support group together in one place to kick o� our marriage.”

For the fi rst time in her 10-year career, Cathy Warner has a baby playpen set up in her o� ce at Calkins Hall.
Warner tries to fi nd time for both her three-month-old son Clayton and her around-the-clock job as a residence hall director at Central Michigan University.
To the new mother, being an RHD is about more than just administra-tion. It’s about personal relation-ships, building a welcoming commu-nity and supporting students.
“I’ve chosen to stay in this job for a long time because I don’t want to give up my relationship with stu-dents,” she said. “They need to know that I care.”
In the past, Warner has tried to maintain close relations with the students, making it easier to notice when they’re having a bad day or just need help.
She said her favorite part about being an RHD is watching stu-dents grow and change through-out the year.
“It’s about watching people grow,” Warner said. “It’s about seeing people come in on move-in day and seeing how much they’ve changed when they move back out in May.”
She said there is never a normal routine when it comes to her job.
She holds o� ce hours, works with her hall sta� and has appointments with students, but there are always situations that arise unannounced.
Despite the new addition to her family, Warner said life as an RHD has not changed too much.
“It’s not a whole lot di� erent than before the baby,” she said. “It’s not an 8-4 kind of job, but my husband
and I make it work.”While baby Clayton laid asleep
in his playpen, Warner played back the fi rst few days in the dorms with a child.
Baby gifts were sent in from all over the state from parents of former students and from the hall’s residents.
“It was like a ‘Thank you for tak-ing care of my baby, now here’s a gift for your baby’ sort of thing,” the new mother said. “It meant a lot to me.”
Luanne Go� nett has had more time to integrate her family life with her on-campus duty.
Go� nett, who has worked as an RHD for CMU since 1991, is in charge of both Robinson and Barnes halls.
Living with her husband, four children and two step-children, Goffnett has accepted the hard-ships that come with balancing work and family.
Her children have spent their entire lives living in the Barnes RHD apartment. The only complaint they seem to have is a lack of bathroom space, which is likely to happen in any family with four girls.
And like other students, they too dislike the periodic fi re drills.
Scout, 13, said her mom’s job makes it easy for she and her sib-lings to spend time with Go� nett.
“We spend more time with her because her job is right here,” Scout said.
Chloe, who is 14 and one of Go� -nett’s stepchildren, said living on campus is normal for the family.
However, when she brought a friend from school over to visit, the girl was overwhelmed by the hall’s residents.
“I came here with another girl (from school) and she was a lot
more overwhelmed by the college kids, but it’s just normal for me,” Chloe said.
The kids said they are closer with the sta� of the hall than they are with any of the residents, although they sometimes join residents in playing sports in the courtyard.
Goffnett said raising her kids on a college campus comes with numerous benefits, including learning how to share.
“They need to know how to share and compromise,” Goffnett said. “The art of compromise is important, they’re just getting it earlier in life.”
Living on a diverse campus has also exposed her kids to a variety of individuals.
“It provided them with a great perspective of the world,” Goff-nett said. “Barnes used to be an international hall, so they’ve been able to meet people who speak different languages and practice different religions.”
Goffnett said although both her work and family duties are located in the same building, it is necessary for her to keep a balance between the two.
“I think it requires patience on the part of my family because I can’t walk down the hall without being addressed by something,” Go� nett said. “I try to set boundaries even though it’s a 24/7 job.”
Go� nett said those boundaries in-clude keeping family and cell phone numbers private to sta� only. The family also has a “closed-door apart-ment” to student residents, unless they specifi cally choose to become part of the family’s life.

It’s time to pay attention.As college students, it’s imperative
to stay updated on the ongoings of our government. While the impact of most of these issues seem distant and negligible in the here-and-now, each and every one could have a big impact on us. No one seems to know it, though.
Before and after the government shutdown, many students and most of the population have only just started asking questions about cur-rent events.
That should be unacceptable. If
you are a citizen of the United States, you have the responsibility to un-derstand what your elected o� cials are up to and to understand what is happening in the world. That means keeping up with the news each day, no matter where or how.
This month will go down in his-tory as the one that determines the fate of the U.S. economy. Either law-makers work to re-open the govern-ment and avert a fi scal catastrophe by breaching the debt ceiling, or we will fi nd ourselves back in the midst of a recession or worse.
It’s important to be aware of what’s happening and to put pres-sure on your representatives to avert these crises.
These crises should be hit-ting home with students. A debt ceiling breach would likely make jobs for recent graduates, already too difficult to come by, virtually impossible to find.
Many students can say goodbye to their grants if this shutdown debacle continues for several more weeks, as some Washington insiders fear, ac-cording to reports.
That doesn’t even touch the Af-fordable Care Act, which allows chil-dren to stay on their parents’ medical plans until they are 26, expands Medicaid for low-income households (in most states) and, negatively, has led Central Michigan University and many other institutions to cut back on hours to avoid having to pay health insurance to employees, among many other provisions.
So, pay attention.Our generation has a reputation of
being self-centered, stuck in a bubble and oblivious to the goings-on of the world. Yet, we’re the ones who most embrace social media and the ability to have news and information directly at our fi ngertips.
Let’s take advantage of that incred-ible opportunity to be well-informed and up-to-date on news. Our futures could depend on it.

You’re sitting in your car waiting to turn onto Washington Street and head up to Grawn Hall for a class you’re 10 minutes late for.
The already lukewarm co� ee you made has spilled over your leather seats and down your pant leg into your socks and shoes.
Could that freshman with the lanyard around her neck walk any slower across the street?
I’ve laid out the frustrating sce-nario, but let me be clear that this is in no way a sob story or a pity party on my part.
Let’s say you’re on the other side of the windshield, and you’re one of the thousands who gets around CMU’s campus every day on their own two feet. I’m writing this on behalf of all pedestrians.
Kudos to you guys. Despite the late-night binge drinking or study sessions, you’ve managed to muster the energy to walk to class every day.
Let’s be frank. I’m pretty blind – I can see lights and colors, but that’s about it – so I use a cane to navigate around campus.

Get acquainted with the news
The past several weeks have been some of the most crucial in American history.
From a government shutdown to an impending debt ceiling breach, from the implementation of sweeping health care reforms to continually unfolding crises in the Middle East, the decisions our political leaders make on several key issues could have drastic impacts on each of our lives moving forward.

The Mount Pleasant music scene is broken.
The lack of venues has driven bands from our once-musically-thriving small town in the middle of nowhere.
I’ve been going to shows at bars since I was 16. I still remember the feeling of watching my friends on stage, performing covers of songs I had loved from my childhood.
That Mustache Feeling was the fi rst show I went to at Rubble’s Bar downtown, 112 W. Michigan St.
The band had a couple hundred people packed into the tiny dive bar. We were all dancing and en-joying the show.
As I got older, I saw more shows at Rubble’s. I saw Michelle Chamuel of “The Voice” and her band, Ella Riot, when they were My Dear Disco.

What does your desk do? We are the eyes of CM Life, we visually document stories that capture a moment that conveys the truth.
What was the fi rst photo you shot for CM Life? It was of the (controversial preacher on campus), and it was used as Photo of the Day.
If a movie was made of your life, what genre would it be and who would play you? I think it would be a comedy. My life is a joke. Beyonce would play me because she’s a fi erce, strong diva.
What’s the best part about working at CM Life? Working with an amazing sta� who feeds o� of each other’s creativity to produce a solid end result.
If you had to eat at one restaurant for the rest of your life, where would it be? Antico Posto, because they have the best gnocchi in the country.

around and getting where I need to go, that’s for sure. But myself and many others I’ve talked to think those who drive need another crash course on the basics of doing so.
I’m not generalizing, or at least I’m not trying to.
There are some phenomenal driv-ers out there, but then there are those people who clearly forgot what the brake pedal was and where to stop.
Speaking of that, if you see a pe-destrian crossing the street, do not sit right there in the middle of the cross-walk so they have to walk around you.
It’s especially inconsiderate if you do it and you see that person has a cane, for example.
Luckily, I can see enough to know the shadow of your car is there and have the decency to walk around it, but it’s the principle of the matter, not to mention its illegality. So please, back up and idle where you’re sup-posed to.
Also, what’s all that honking about? Can’t we try to be a little more cour-teous with one another?
There’s no reason to get so upset.After all, if you’d woken up 20
minutes earlier and didn’t hit snooze six times before fi nally deciding today wouldn’t be a good day to skip that bio lab, then these kind of things could be eliminated or at least happen far less frequently.
Let’s all calm down and try that whole patience thing.
As a society we’re all too rushed, but we need to take into account those around us. We’ll feel much better and help keep our stress levels in check.
We all have enough to deal with, what with classes, jobs, extracur-ricular activities and the occasional midnight beer run.
Let’s not let driving add to the load.Just remember green means go, a
stop sign means stop, and someone walking in front of your car also means stop.
I met my boyfriend, the lead singer of Elliot Street Lunatic and guitarist of Lights & Caves, at that show. Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers grew into their own in Mount Pleasant.
With an ever-changing demo-graphic and audience, Mount Pleasant is unique. The bars struggle to keep up with new bands and new sounds. They need to fi nd a band that will draw in new audiences but won’t push away certain crowds.
I’ve heard from numerous bands that they wish they had better venues to play at in this town. It’s a struggle to fi nd a venue that will let in minors but also has a great PA system and sound guy.
While each venue in town has something unique to o� er, each also has its own issues to work with.
Until this sleepy, little college town can come up with a venue like The Loft in Lansing or The Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, we’re going to be stuck in a rut.
Bands will not come here if we don’t go out to see them. I know a $10 cover can suck, but at Rub-ble’s, that money goes directly to the bands that are playing. You’re paying their gas and food and possible rent by supporting them.
These are musicians. They have another job – or three – outside of their music so they can support themselves and their unhealthy music obsessions. The members spend their own money putting out CDs and sometimes don’t charge for them.
Bands come back and put on shows because they want to share their feelings and thoughts and music with the community. They want to get their names out there.
I love going to local shows. I love seeing the talent Michigan musicians have. I’ve met some of my best friends by going to shows.
Get out there. Spend that $10 and support your fellow students in their dreams.

STUDENTS ON THE JOB“On the Job” is a weekly
feature that highlights the duties, backgrounds and personalities of student employees at Central Michigan University. This week, staff reporter Dominick Mastrangelo sat down with Brown City junior Quintin Pavel to his campus job as library reference technician.
Time spent on the job: Four semesters
Job description: Pavel works at the reference desk on the second floor of Park
Library.
CM Life: What are some of your daily responsibilities?
Quintin Pavel: We are here to assist students who are looking to find books,
journals or anything that is in the library at all. We see many
students everyday for a lot of the same issues.
CM: What is the most commonly asked question or
issue students ask about?
QP: People do not know how to print. Many of the
issues we help people with are related to printing. We
have access to each student’s library printing accounts – not anyone’s personal documents – but we help people navigate
the print kiosk and cue system. People are usually
pretty relieved when they get help with that.
CM: Are there any reoccurring issues or problems that are especially difficult to manage when students bring
them up?
QP: It can be a little more stressful when people come up to the desk with a really
general research topic. For example, a person will come up and say, “I need
information on World War II.” Do they need information on the Pacific theater or just the Allies or what? The more
specific they can be, the better we can serve them.
CM: How closely do you, as a student employee, work with the professional librarians on
staff?
QP: The librarians are typically here during the day.
I’ve worked with them in the past, but since I’ve been working more nights lately, I haven’t seen them as much. We work hand in hand. They
generally come into play when someone needs attention
to something more specific. That’s what the librarians are
trained to do.

Lil’ Chef is one of the premier options for students looking for free Wi-Fi or a late-night meal.
“We’re here to provide comfort food. It’s kind of our specialty,” said Brian Stokes, general manager of Lil’ Chef, 1720 S. Mission St.
Known for its homestyle cooking, Lil’ Chef has been serving Mount Pleasant
its specialty foods for two decades. The restaurant just celebrated its 20th anniver-sary, according to Stokes, who has worked there for four years.
The restaurant’s numer-ous breakfast options are among it’s most popular items, Stokes said.
Stokes described one of their most popular breakfast items, a skillet, as a dish that has kept customers return-ing for years. It contains an
abundance of eggs, hash browns, sausage, gravy and cheese, all layered evenly.
Stokes said the all-you-can-eat cod, which is o� ered on Fridays and Saturdays, is another popular choice. Other items include soups, casseroles and other home-made specials.
“We have a lot of locals that are regulars as well as students, so it’s the diversity of our clientele that I really enjoy,” Stokes said. “With the
students being from all over the state and out-of-state, you meet a lot of di� erent people.”
Lil’ Chef, open from 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, is open 24 hours per day from Thursday through Saturday.
Mount Pleasant resident Jessica Myers has worked at Lil’ Chef as a waitress for almost seven years.
When asked about what she likes most about working at the small restaurant located
on one of the busiest roads in town, Myers mentioned the fl exibility of her schedule.
“They’ve always been willing to work with me,” she said. “And the differ-ent people that you get in here. It’s not just one type of crowd.”
Lil’ Chef regular Doug Cashem, a Mount Pleasant resident, said sta� friendliness is one of the biggest reasons he has kept coming back.
“I’ve always liked the
workers. It’s a nice place to eat,” he said. “They’ve got pretty good food, reasonable prices and convenience.”
Despite being a regular, Cashem admits he does not take advantage of the all-day hours.
“I primarily stop here for lunch or when I’m done working, in the mornings for lunch or breakfast,” he said.

Lil’ Chef: Mount Pleasant’s well-kept secret
By Stephen CrossStaff Reporter
Business fraternity Pi Sigma Epsilon presented $500 in charity money to the Parks and Recreation Department in the form of a giant check at Mount Pleasant City Hall on Thursday morning.
Pi Sigma Epsilon hosted it’s fi rst Taste of Mid Michigan fundraiser on Sept. 14 at Island Park. Fifteen local restaurants provided more than 500 at-tendees with samples of their signature dishes.
The event generated about $3,000 in profi t. Because of having such success, Pi Sigma Epsilon took $500 out of their charity profi ts and donated it to the Parks and Recreation Department of Mount Pleasant.
Riaan Anthony, the recre-ation director of Mount Pleas-ant’s Parks and Recreation Department, had a pleasant time at the fundraiser and expressed his gratitude.
“It was a great event with a
lot of people, and we are happy it happened at a Mount Pleas-ant park,” Anthony said. “We are thankful and cannot wait until next year’s event.”
Anthony said the donation money will go toward bleach-ers for the baseball fi eld in Yost Field, 1300 W. Michigan St.
The fraternity’s faculty adviser, Ken Cherry, said he was proud of the fraternity for donat-ing its money to a good cause.
“One of the best things about Mount Pleasant is the parks,” Cherry said. “It’s great that it’s going toward the bleachers in the baseball park where the kids can use it.”
Pi Sigma Epsilon Presi-dent Adam London ex-plained the decision to give the money to the Parks and Recreation Department.
“We negotiated with the parks department to get Taste of Mid Michigan to happen,” London said. “Since the event was a success, we decided to give a portion back to the park.”
London said the event
would not have been possible without the support from their three main sponsors, Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort, Happy’s Pizza and Central Michigan University, which provided more than $3,000 in contributions.
Kristina Crilley, the vice president of marketing for the
fraternity, said the idea for the fundraiser had been thrown around since 2011.
Members of the fraternity said because there was such positive feedback from the community, plans for next year’s fundraiser have already been formed.

ment, with a total of 82.5 points.According to Slater, some
of the ways the project was able to earn points included installing high-e� ciency water fi xtures to reduce indoor water use, recycling to minimize construction waste and by reducing the energy required for these buildings by 36 percent.
Lawrence said there are not many additional costs to achiev-ing platinum certifi cation.
“There can be some extra costs, but generally, these costs are fairly low,” Lawrence said. “We feel in the long run it’s worth following LEED guidelines. If you can design a building that uses less energy, that’s a good thing.”
Gold, silver and standard certifi cation are also available with point requirements of 60, 50 and 40 respectively.
Slater said by continuing to follow these guidelines, the university will save money and trouble in the future.
“Making smart choices during the design and con-struction process can posi-tively impact both the quality of the building for the tenants and the long-term costs of operation,” she said.

N.C. State ends contract with CMU, cancels gameBy Aaron McMann
Senior Reporter
North Carolina State has ended its football contract with Central Michigan, leaving athletic director Dave Heeke scrambling to fi ll two dates on the 2014 football schedule.
N.C. State was scheduled to travel to Mount Pleasant on Aug. 28, 2014, the Chippewas’ season opener and third and fi nal game of a contract
signed between the two schools in January 2009. NCSU will pay CMU $350,000 as a buyout.
The cancellation leaves two open dates for the 2014 season. The Chippewas are scheduled to travel to Purdue on Sept. 6 and Kansas on Sept. 20.
“They felt like they were down on home games and wanted to build their home schedule and needed to make adjustments,” Heeke said of
N.C. State athletic director Deborah Yow’s decision to end the contract.
“It’s part of the landscape. In this day and age with college football scheduling, unfortunately some of the things happened. We’re dealing with it and going to move forward, we’ll fi ll the date and we’re very confi dent we’ll do that.”
The Wolfpack will play an eight-game home schedule this season, and play seven home games in 2014,
should they replace CMU with another home game.
“I have a lot of connections throughout the industry and we’re aware of people with open dates,” Heeke said. “We’re beginning to have conversations with those who fi t in with the available dates that we have.”
N.C. State is the third school to recently end a scheduled contract with CMU. Indiana ended a three-
game contract with CMU in January 2010, creating a spat between both universities that never resolved. In June, Ohio State canceled a one-game contract that was going to pay CMU $925,000 in 2016.
Yow said in a statement that N.C. State originally had fi ve home games in 2014 and that CMU knew months ago that it wouldn’t play.
Kaitlin Thoresen/Staff PhotographerRunning back Zurlon Tipton leaps over Ball State defender Joshua Howard during the game on August 24, 2011 at Ball State.
“Football is my life, it’s defi nitely just hard to stand there watching a team knowing you can’t help,” he said.
Tipton spoke to Central Michigan Life by phone on Thursday, his fi rst interview since leaving the season opener at Michigan with a season-ending ankle injury. He touched on everything from the running attack to CMU’s slow start and what it needs to do to get back on track.
“I remember me almost scoring, getting my fi rst touchdown of the season,” Tipton said of the Michigan game. “I get tackled and next thing I know my ankle is not responding right.
“Most people knew something was wrong. We’re on the goal line and I’m asking to come out.”
Since his surgery almost one month ago, Tipton is up walking, trying to recover. He’s unsure of what his future in football looks like. Head coach Dan Enos has said a sixth year is possible, granted after applying for an NCAA medical hardship waiver.
He’s just looking forward to gradu-ating in December.
“I can’t make any decisions until I know where I’m at and where I’ll be,” Tipton said. “Of course, we’ve talked about coming up with a plan for what’s next. At this point, I’m just focused on getting better and gradu-ating. I feel like getting a degree is just taking the stress o� of me. When we get to that part, we’ll worry about it.”
He’s in team meetings regularly, helping the running backs try and fi nd some consistency. He concedes that it remains an issue, with sopho-more Saylor Lavallii showing up big in some games and going quiet in others. Likewise, backups Anthony Garland and freshman Maurice Shoemaker-Gilmore have had spurts, but aren’t ready for a full load.
Tipton’s ready for someone to lead.“We see that nobody is saying ‘I’m
the guy, this is what I’m going to do.’ It’s just going to take time, guys in there are young,” he said. “Unfortu-nately, they have to grow up real fast. I feel comfortable with every one of them, but it’s going to take some time.”
Things could be di� erent with a healthy Zurlon Tipton of course, but he’s not known to be humble. His stats from last season don’t lie.
“I don’t think the team is based o�
one guy, but I could have defi nitely got in there and helped,” Tipton said. “I’m not trying to brag, but I defi nitely feel like I could have made an impact.”
Losing your starting quarterback, starting running back, starting left guard, a receiver and several players on defense can hurt production, he says.
But that’s where depth comes in.“Next man in,” he said. “In the be-
ginning I felt like we had some good pieces. When ever a starter gets hurt, you’re going to take a fall in produc-tion. People got to step up.
“We’ve got a lot of injuries, but with the talent we have on this team, it shouldn’t be a problem. There shouldn’t be a drop o� . But that’s part of growing up and realizing what we’ve got to do.”

Rush threw 16-37 for 165 yards and three interceptions in last week’s loss to N.C. State.
Reason to watch: If Rush is going to have a bounce back game it has to be this one. Miami (Ohio) has given up 50-plus points on multiple occa-sions.
Davis caught five passes against N.C. State for 80 yards and a touchdown.
Reason to watch: In an inconsis-tent o� ense, Titus Davis has been a consistent threat to defenses each week. Look for him to have a big day against the RedHawks.
Frazier has two interceptions and a fumble recovery this season.
Reason to watch: One of the few strengths this season was been the defenses ability to create turnovers. Miami’s o� ense has been weak at best this season a few more turnovers should be in the horizon.

Zac Murphy is leading the MAC in average yards per punt.
Reason to watch: When both teams are evenly matched, even if it’s in a bad way, fi eld position is impor-tant. Murphy could win this battle for the RedHawks.
March is leading Mi-ami (Ohio) in receptions this season.
Reason to watch: Miami’s o� ense has been struggling and if it can get Marck the ball and get in rhythm it could be looking at its fi rst win of the season.
Kern leads Miami with 38 total tackles this season, three of which are for a loss.
Reason to watch: lf the RedHawks want a win, they need to pressure Cooper Rush and force the freshman into some too familiar habits. Kern will be the one to apply the pressure.

CM Life Staff Reports
After opening confer-ence play with a 2-0 record, women’s soccer hopes to carry that mo-mentum into this weekend at home against two rivals.
CMU will host Western Michigan at 4 p.m. today and Eastern Michigan at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Soc-cer Complex.
“We always think that balance is key,” head coach Peter McGahey said. “I think that one of the chal-lenges with a team like ours is if you only get scor-ing from one or two people it won’t be beneficial to the team, and I think the balance we have shown is the product you see on the field right now.”
Coming into the week-end, the Broncos and Eagles are both 2-0 in the Mid-American Conference, sharing first place with the Chippewas and Ball State.
Juniors Emily Cook-sey and Grace Labrecque have been key contribu-tors this season. Cooksey leads CMU in goals (two), points (four) and shots (21), while Labrecque has started five games in goal, posting a 2-2-1 record to go along with a .793 save percentage.
WMU is one of the best offensive teams in the conference, scoring
13 goals in its last three games, all victories.
“You have the two best offensive teams in the conference,” McGahey said. “We’ve played some really good offensive teams before and we just have to play our game. We spend a lot of time worrying about us, and the focus is on polishing up the things we need to do and controlling what we can control.”
Defensively, the Bron-cos have given up 11 goals in 11 games this season, having outshot their op-ponents 155-91.
McGahey said he thinks the CMU defense is coming together at the right time.
“We think our collective spirit defensively is very good, and I thought our resiliency in both those games last weekend with two different setups was really important,” McGa-hey said. “I thought to get a gritty win against Kent State and then to show that same resiliency after going down two goals to Ohio was key. I think that’s what is really important for us this weekend.”
EMU is one of the best offensive teams in the MAC and is on a four-game winning streak.
It has scored 17 goals in its last four games and is averaging 2.5 goals per game this season.
Although the team has lost a few leaders due to injury, McGahey is con-fident others will step up this weekend.
“You never know who is going to step up,” McGa-hey said. “The key is in order for someone else to
step up, and I think you’re seeing how players fit on this team with the season now well under way. It’s certainly good to see.”
Team looks to continue MAC winning streak

The last weekend of the fall season was full of ups and downs for the softball team at the Traverse City West Col-legiate Softball Tournament.
Central Michigan joined Michigan, Western Michigan and Oakland last weekend for a two-day tournament. The Chippe-was struggled the first day, losing to Michigan, tying Oakland and beating WMU.
They would finish strong by beating Oakland in the knockout round and losing to Michigan 4-1 in the final to finish second.
“We did not play well on Saturday. We did not have the right energy or focus,” head coach Margo Jonker said. “On Sunday, we played much better and the results were better. A 4-1 game against Michigan isn’t what you want, but it isn’t a bad game either. We actually out-hit Michigan, but they obviously out-scored us. Overall, the game was decent, but we made too many mistakes against a good team.”
Despite the loss, CMU senior pitcher Morgan Yuncker was positive about how the team played against Michigan.
“It was the same as last year. No matter what name is on the front of the jersey, we are out to win,” Yuncker said.
“We defi nitely can compete with them on the same level. It was fun. Saturday didn’t go so well, but Sunday we hung in there, and when we play them in season I think it will be interesting.”
Junior infi elder Trista Cox was also proud of her team.
“I liked that we were able to come back Sunday and show what kind of team we are,” Cox said. “I think we are getting better instead of worse, which is something I have liked to see this fall.”
Heading into the weekend, Jonker set out to get play-ers as much playing time as possible and to get the team to bond. According to junior shortstop CarolAnn Sexauer, those goals were achieved.
“I would say it went well. We did some team exercises, had a bonfi re and got to know each other,” Sexauer said. “A lot of people got a lot of experience against some good teams, so overall I think it was a fun, good weekend.”
With the fall exhibitions behind them, the team has learned what it needs to improve on before the start of their spring season.
“We learned a lot about where we are at in this part of the season,” senior pitcher Chelsea Sundberg said. “We saw what we need to sharpen up on before we actually step out onto the fi eld again.”
Second-place tournament fi nish ends fall season

Whether the soccer team will win its third Mid-Amer-ican Conference regular sea-son title in the last fi ve years remains to be seen.
For the time being, the Chippewas seem to have found their identity and even a little rhythm. Solid defense has boosted CMU to an undefeated conference record heading into this weekend.
First-year head coach Peter McGahey said CMU (2-7-1) must maintain the same stingy defensive e� ort that propelled the Chippewas to their fi rst two MAC victories of the season during this weekend’s matches.
“We know we can be tough to break down as a game progresses,” McGa-hey said. “We have played some good offensive teams both in non-conference and MAC play this year. That can give us some perspec-tive going forward.”
CMU knocked off two of the top-tier teams in the MAC East last weekend when it defeated Kent State and Ohio.
Another pair of MAC teams come to Mount Pleas-ant this weekend.
CMU hosts rival Western Michigan (4-3-2) at 4 p.m. to-day and then Eastern Michi-gan (5-4-1) at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Both teams have not had any trouble creating scoring chances so far this season.
WMU posted 33 shots in its last two games while Eastern
Michigan totaled 30 shots last weekend as both teams played, and beat, Northern Illinois and Toledo.
Last weekend, junior goalkeeper Grace Labrecque was stellar, stopping 34 shots in two games, including 21 in her fi rst shutout of the season against Kent State.
“The women know what is ahead of them this week-end,” McGahey said. “We always think that balance is key. You have to find a lot of contributors to find success, and I think we are a product of that.”

Volleyball faces two crucial, in-conference road tests this weekend after coming off split matches last week against Toledo and Ball State.
The Chippewas will take on rival Western Michigan in Kalamazoo at 7 p.m. today before traveling to DeKalb, Ill., on Saturday to take on Northern Illinois at 8 p.m.
Head coach Erik Olson said the team looks to make improvements this week-end, especially after getting swept by Ball State.
“There’s not a whole lot of avoiding we can do,” Olson said. “Ball State was pretty good. They’re the best passing team we’ve en-countered all season. Crisp-ing up our connection with our setters has certainly been a priority, and that’s the bottom line.”
Staying upbeat and on top of its opponents are key for CMU, he said, but the team is also playing for bragging rights against the rival Broncos.
“Western’s coaching staff doesn’t acknowledge that there’s a rivalry,” Olson said. “I would acknowledge that there is, but I think from our end, we’re focus-ing on not hyping (the ri-valry) up. I know our school doesn’t like Western, and I know our team doesn’t like Western. That motivation is already there. I don’t have to add any extra.”
CMU faces a tough task Saturday at NIU. Olson ex-pects the Huskies to be well-prepared and well-coached. Northern Illinois has split its first two MAC matches.
“Next weekend we’re playing in two of the most hostile environments in the MAC,” Olson said. “It’s two good teams and two teams that are ranked in front of
us, but I think we have a good enough team to where we can win either match.”
Olson praised his team for its work ethic this week in practice and hopes to see CMU have the same sort of success against WMU and NIU this weekend as it did when it swept Toledo last week.
“I think we matched up and played well against Toledo,” Olson said. “We’ve been passing really well so far. If we’re not locked in or matched up well, we can fight and win that last set so we can extend the match.”
The Chippewas enter this weekend in fifth place in the MAC West.
“My belief is always, we’re good enough on any given night to beat any team in the country,” Olson said. “The key is doing it on a consistent basis.”

Northern Illinois fi nished its non-conference season with a blowout at Purdue. Only it was the Huskies deleivering the beating and going 4-0 in non-conference play. All that stands in the way of the Huskies unbeat-en season is the Mid-Amer-ican Conference, something it has no problem handling. Bowling Green and Ball State have looked strong, while Ohio and Toledo remain threats and look to knockoff NIU.

Ohio remains the leader in the MAC after posting a solid record against quality opponents in the non-con-ference season. The Bob-cats, who also had a stellar non-conference season, beat Buffalo 3-1 and fol-lowed it up with a sweep against Akron. Ball State swept CMU on Saturday after the Chippewas had momentum with a sweep of its own against Toledo on Friday.
After struggling in the non-conference season, Central Michigan started its MAC schedule off strong with back-to-back wins on the road at Kent State and Ohio. Unfortunately, it’s not good enough to put the team in fi rst in the division with three other schools (Ball St, WMU and EMU) all going 2-0 as well. Mount Pleasant will host two big matchups this weekend as the Broncos and Eagles come to play on Friday and Sunday.
The MAC season is begin-ning this week as Missouri State visiting Kent State and Ball State at CMU. The Cardi-nals and Chippewas match-up at 1 p.m. Saturday is a showdown between the fi rst place team in the MAC and the favorites to win the MAC tournament. Preseason polls mean little when game time arrives as BSU was picked to fi nish last in the conference. CMU is coming off its fi rst win following a six-match losing streak.

Central Michigan an-nounced the contract exten-sion of arguably its most successful coach over the last 30 years earlier this week.
Softball coach Margo Jonk-er was awarded a contract extension through the 2017-18 season, athletic director Dave Heeke announced.
Jonker will make a base salary of $118,578 per season with built in incentives, as well. She is entering her 33rd year as head coach of CMU softball.
“Margo and her sta� have built a championship program both on and o� the fi eld as witnessed by its Mid-American Conference Tournament Championship and top-fi ve national ranking academically last season,” Heeke said in a statement.
The Chippewas’ home fi eld is named after Jonker, who said while she has received
many of-fers from other schools, she is not going any-where.
“I like CMU. I like our student-athletes, and this where I have been and this is where I will stay,” Jonker said. “I’m excited for the opportunity to have an extended contract. Our program is in excellent shape right now.”
Jonker led CMU to its 10th MAC Tournament title in 2013, giving CMU its 13th NCAA Tournament berth. Last year, Jonker became the 11th coach in Division I history to win 1,100 games and has a career record of 1,100-667-5.
Through her many successful years at CMU, Jonker has also placed an
emphasis on the academics of her student-athletes.
“We are an educational in-stitution, and I am 100-per-cent committed to the idea that athletics and academics can and should go hand-in-hand,” she said. “With many women’s sports, not many go pro and make a ton of money so academics need to be No. 1.”
Jonker said she has watched the softball program evolve and develop into one of CMU’s most successful varsity sports.
“The game has changed, and we have changed right along with it through the years,” Jonker said. “We did not wear helmets, the budgets have changed and players have come and gone.”
The CMU coaching legend said maintaining the standard of excellence she has formulated over the last three decades has become second nature to her and her coaching sta� .

“People on this campus and in this community expect our program to win,” Jonker said. “It’s all about winning on the fi eld and winning in life.”
CMU also awarded wres-tling coach Tom Borrelli an extension through 2017-18. Borrelli led the Chippewas to their 13th MAC Champion-
ship last season. He is enter-ing his 22nd year as coach of CMU wrestling.
