INVESTIGATION ANALYSIS

Graham murder

Cooper

Cooper allegedly lied about, disposed King’s bloody shoes

i By Chad Livengood Editor in Chief .

Documents' detailing the indictments of three CMU foot-, ball players link former line­backer James King to the beat­ing death of DeMarcus Graham and the attempted cover-up of King’s involvement. .

The documents show those charged with perjury allegedly lied about . the bloody shoes, the where-.abouts of and the conversa­tions with King immediately after Graham's beating.

“The docu­ments speak for them-

, selves," said Isabella County Prosecutor Larry Burdick Wednesday. He would not comment -about King's involvement in the brawl that led to Graham's fuly 14, 2004 death. . 1 ,

Defensive end James Cooper Jr. faces perjury charges for allegedly lying to the grand jury that "he did riot see James' King dispose of his shoes in the early morning hours of June 25, 2004," according to the indict­ment released Tuesday.

A perjury charge could mean ' investigators have collabora­tion that King did dispose of his shoes and Cooper lied about it.

Cooper’s obstruction of jus­tice indictment states he com­mitted the crime "by disposing of... the bloody shoes of James King.” Cooper faces another charge of being an accessory after the fact for "feloniously” concealing or assisting “the offender... James King.”

The indictment states Cooper assisted King "with the knowledge that the offender had committed the felony and with the intent to aid the offender in avoiding or escap­ing detection, arrest, trial and punishment."

King, a 23-year-old native of Oak Park, was cut from the Cleveland' Browns football team Aug. 28. He could not be reached for comment.

Fuel savings idea: Suspend gas sales taxBill would give governor ability to do soBy Khristopher J. Brooks

Staff Reporter

Shelling out cash at the pump might become a little more bearable, if Gov. Jennifer Granholm signs a bill autho­rizing the sales tax on gas to be lowered.

The bill that would grant .Granholm power to suspend the 6 percent sales tax on gas unanimously passed the state

House of Representatives Tuesday. Introduced by Rep. Bob Gosselin, R-Troy, the pro­posal will be sent to a Senate committee for approval.'

Under the bill, a driver would save about 18 cents.on a gallon of' $2.99 regular unleaded gas.

Rep. Bill Caul, R-Mdunt Pleasant, said there are pros and cons to the bill and its duration.

“Whether it would* be a week o): a month, she would have to weigh the loss of the tax base," he said.

Evenuf the bill passes, it

doesn't necessarily mean Granholm .will implement the suspension, Gaul said.

‘ Granholm’s spokesperson Liz Boyd said the governor hasn't decided whether she will suspend the tax.

Michigan stands to lose around $5 to $6 million in tax revenue if she does, said John Kerekes, central region direc? tor of the American Petroleum Institute.

"A major point (to remem­ber) is that if prices are going to go -up anyway, it doesn’t matter,” he said.

Kerekes said he remembers

when Indiana and Illinois lift­ed its gas sales tax years ago.

“Those states lost several hundred million dollars,” he said. "They ha'd to cancel the collection of .that revenue. On the other hand, it helped out the consumers. The drivers, would save anywhere from five to 10 cents a gallon.". Lakeview freshman Bryan Keyt said he likes the thought of saying money at ithe pump.

"Anything that gets, gas prices down sounds like a good idea to me right now," he said.

Keyt drives a 1994 Buick

Century and said he rarely fills the tank completely, but knows-it costs $25 to fill it halfway at $2.98 per gallon.

The price for regular unleaded fell below $3 last week, a feat that Boyd credits Granholm for spearheading. She said the governor met with Marathon Oil Corp. offi­cials and urged them to let up on prices.

"Within hours they made the corporate decision to lower prices,” Boyd said.

But no matter how lowj prices drop, students like* Jennifer Rychel refuse to fill

up more than they can afford. The Saginaw senior only puts $20 worth of gas in her 1997 Cutlass Supreme enough to get her just above half a tank.

Rychel also likes the pro­posed bill, "because we can get more for our money,” she said.

The Republican-controlled House's proposal, Boyd said, shows the OOP’s faith in Granholm’s leadership.

Staff members from The Bird Bar and Grill in downtown Mount Pleasant hand out a variety of prizes, including Mike’s Hard Lemonade posters, at Wares Fair Wednesday night in Finch Fieidhouse.

20 years, 20 cents and 20 winnersGas giveaway the most popular at Wares Fair

* By Tess Rivard Staff Reporter

Whres Fair managed to attract more than 4,000 students to Finch Fieidhouse Wednesday evening.

To mark its 20th anniversary, Next Door Food Stores offered one of the biggest prizes to 20 students — 20 cent-per-gallon gas fillups. Those winners will now fill up their vehicle for $3 instead of spending $3 per gallon at the pumps. • w

With some new and some usual booths of area businesses, students were able to pick up free samples from food chains, goodies, coupons and get a better idea of What Mount Pleasant has to offer. •

One local establishment known to many is The Bird Bar & Grill, 223 S. Main St.

For *18 years, Sue Richmond has represented The Bird at Wares.Fair, and said she arid other businesses come to expand students’ knowl­edge of downtown. '

Students complain that there is nothing to do in Mount Pleasant, she added, but they only need to look around the city a little bit.

DJ Aaron Dicer of 101.7 Fuse said the station has been to the fair for three straight years. ;

“Being at this 'event gives us a chance to connect to college stu­dents," he said. “We believe we have a product that they would love.”

One of the many students at Wares Fair was Whitmore Lake graduate strident Dan Jahncke.

"(It’s) my favorite event. It’s my sixth year coming here." he said. "If you’re a no-show, you lose out.”

Loosing out meant not having a chance to win prizes ranging from a free haircut to. an iPod and a lot of food, -including pizza and goodies from die Italian Oven and Bennigan’s.

Big Rapids junior Mike Mendenhall said unlike the two previous years he attended, he decided to register to win some of the prizes. He registered at C&S Sports Center to win $20 Harley-

Davidson gift certificates for Matt Norrod, Woldt Residence Hall Director.

The two joked about the fact that Norrod registered to win the Harley even though- jie already has One, and Mendenhall; who doesn’t own a motorcycle, only registered for the gift certificates. They said if they both won they could trade.

Kathy Simon, event coordinator of Wares Fair and assistant director of student media, said the booths were more elaborate than years past. -

Mount Pleasant Rental Center won'mpst creative booth for its tiki hut and the most creative giveaway' went to The Sweet Onion for their ice cream dish. Central Michigan Life, Next Door Store and 102.5 WIOG sponsored Wares Fair.

Nowiski named SGA vice presidentPoe appoints former opponent to replace Prater, who resigned

By Andrew Keck Staff Reporter

Leadership is a sometimes a calling and Harbor Beach junior Dan Nowiski just answered the Student Government Association’s call.

Nowiski is SGA’s new. vice president.

In the wake of Sam Prater’s resignation from SGA’s No, 2 post last week because of per­sonal reasons, Student Body President, Steve Poe appointed Nowiski as Prater’s replace­ment, effective Tuesday morn­ing for the remainder of the 2005-06 academic year.

"First of all, I have a lot of respect for Dan,” said Poe, Ohio senior. “I haven’t known

Dan very long, but I’ve seen him in action. He's very smooth.*He'll do anything for you and that’s really what I was looking for. Fie will run through a brick'wall for you."

Nowiski and Cadillac senior Rachel Janway, his former pres­idential running mate, lost to Poe and Prater in the March SGA elections.

Nowiski expressed his delight in becoming vice president and said he is up to Poe's challenge. .' "I'm excited/’ Nowiski said. “I’m ready to go to work, fill the position and do everything I . need to get done.” ‘

Poe’s appointment of Nowiski also has garnered praise from fellow SGA mem­bers, most notably Senate Leader John Kaczynski, Midland graduate student.

"Dan is probably the best guy in the SGA if you have a conflict to go to," Kaczynski

said. "Fie has the dynamics of a great leader. His conflict man­agement and resolutions skills are great... you couldn’t ask for a better man for the position.”

.Prior to his recent appoint­ment as vice'president, Nowiski had beenserving the SGA as his­torian and parliamentarian in 2005-06. Nowiski has been serv­ing as a committee chair for tliree years and also is a member of the National Association of •Parliamentarians.

“That's one of the main rea­sons I chose him," Poe said. "Plis Parliamentary experience and committee experience."

Poe stressed the importance that he and Nowiski have put on the committee to, come up with and accomplish their own goals, Fie is looking for Nowiski to help in guiding the commit­tee in the right direction and to work toward what they are compassionate about.

Block

to unite

Organizers want residents, students to mingle Saturday

. By Carrie Webber Staff Reports

The Interftaternity Council and Panhellenic Council is inviting students to their first- ever Block Party Saturday.

The event takes place in downtown Mount Pleasant's Island Park in hopes of

lent ' 'jiry<J|-- ■ ---------------

i-delits-i^ofi- the fedriirnunity together. Free food, live radio, a dunk tank and sports will be available from 11 a.m; to 4 p.m.

Howell senior JJ. Lewis and California senior Beth Lazar, both vice presidents of exter­nal affairs for their councils, partnered together to plan die. event to allow students to get acquainted with each other and Greek life.

Lazar said he hopes to make the Block -Party an annual event.

"Where everyone can come out at die beginning of the year to get to know each other," Lewis said.

The Block Party was-origi- nally meant to take place on Main Street — the road that connects CMU’s campus to downtown Mount Pleasant.

"The main issue was that Main Street is’ the road that connects downtown Mount Pleasant to CMU’s campus — it’s the middle part of both'communities," Lazrar said.

I-Iowever, as plans pro­gressed, Lazar said having the event in Island Park became more practical as ideas for sporting events and issues concerning parking came about.

By offering more types of entertainment, organizers expect to attract more peo­ple. Lewis said he antici­pates a crowd of between 400 and 500 participants Saturday.

The program hopes to gath­er a considerable amount of donations which will then be given to the American Red Cross, and in turn, will pro­vide aid for Hurricane Katrina victims.

Kelly and Deromedi should have kicked Seymour off the team as soon, as he spent his first night in jail for lying to the grand jury, which later indicted him for second degree murder.

They could have learned from Western Michigan's coach who. kicked a player off the team for driving on a suspended license — and nobody even was killed in that crime.

The longer those involved in the death of Graham stayed at CMU the worse off the universi-

ty was in return.Having people enrolled at

CMU while facing charges of. secbnddegree murder creates a huge blemish on the rest of the

students at the institu­tion. It makes no differ­ence whether they're an all-MAC running hack or an education major.

There is no doubt that the indictments of these CMU students is a low point in the his;

tory of this university — and especially the football team — but it is not something that should cripple the effectiveness of either of them.

Roscoe's decision is the first of many things the university must do to put‘this incident in the past.

It will be relief to get these stu­dents off campus so the football team can concentrate on win­ning a few games this season.

Likewise, other students can center on academics and our administrators can focus in on more important problems than- those of a few troubled stu­dents.

CMU, Union Township should foot the bill for

shuttle services to campus

Ttli the cost increase in both gas prices and parking permits,

many students are searching for ways to reduce the amount of money that is needed to com­mute to classes.i-j 6ne of tlie options, that is quick-. , ly gaining popularity is 'tb rid&’ffie^frus service ^ which is offered by Isabella County Transportation Commission.

• The biis is only a phone call away and will pick anypotential . rider up directly in front of his or her doorstep.

To the students who have pon­dered using public transportation but are not convinced on the sav­ings it may provide, you may want to include these aspects into your decision.

First, students will no longer need to pay a large sum for a park­ing pass and then be forced to wait for half an hour until a parking spot becomes available. Second, you will be cutting down drastical­ly on the money you spend on fiiel, and because there are several people on the same bus there is not as much gas used per person.

Third, students will be doing your part to cut down on road

congestion as well as noise and air pollution.

With so many students now looking for alternative transporta­tion, the university should also be looking to provide the services requested.. Even though the bus. service

provided a few years ago was not as successful as planned, many changes in the economy and to the bus services could make it a worthwhile endeavor.

Instead of placing so many stops directly on

campus the buses should focus more on only bringing students to campus and returning them to the housing complexes.

Also, the university should, request the help of Union Township to foot the bill since many of the students live in that vicinity and the road structure causes traffic nightmares for many motorists.

Once again a bus service would greatly reduce that amount of traf­fic.-

The demand for public trans­portation is much higher now than

. in years past and now is the time to implement a plan which will have a positive effect on all stu­dents.

Just last week the NCAA decided to allow CMU to continue to use its nickname after calling the use of Chippewas “hostile and abusive.”

This week, however, university athletes seem to be giving the argument some weight.

After several felony indictments handed down to some of the football players, the NCAA may want to reconsider their decision — in the end, it seems Chippewas may be abusive and hostile.

Our Readers' Voice

Impeach Bush for hurricane responseBy Charles Novitski

Associate Professor of Biology *' ‘Guest Column

Hurricane Katrina’s devastation of Southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and the flooding of New Orleans is a tragic national disaster of major proportions. •

Unfortunately, it is also only the lat­est Bush administration disaster in it’s “too little, too late and ignore the facts” approach to governance.

How many strikes do Bush and Cheney get before we toss them out of the game? Is gutting FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) so it is unable to adequately respond to

. Hurricane Katrina's havoc enough to . send them packing? FEMA was demoted, "privatized,” and given incompetent leadership.

FEMA, the Department of home­land Security and the administration knew that the New 'Orleans levies could withstand only a category 3 hurricane. The horrific scenario that, occurred was predictable, and indeed, Public Broadcasting had a January 2005 showing of "Hurricanes," that predicted a similar catastrophe in New Orleans.

Why were so many of the people

stranded in New Orleans poor and African American? 30% of New Orleans residents lived below the poverty line and 60% of the children in New Orleans had no healthcare. Was it the racial prejudice that has permeated our country with a hun­dred years of 'slavery, followed by lengthy legal segregation, and now de facto segregation?

Bush cares nothing about the poor. Bush gave extravagant tax cuts mostly for the wealthy, while cutting dramat­ically levee building in New Orleans and help to the poor.

Bush has failed to act responsibly to many scientific findings, such as mer­cury poisoning p^.8% of ,Am'e.rj.can. fetuses,.and global warming, due to.: 002 emjs'sions that is likely gradually increasing hun'icanes’ strength.

Or, perhaps/ignoring CIA Chief George Tenet’s 2001 warning of the danger of Osama bin Laden and his intention to attack inside the U.S. - is that enough?

Or, if too little, too late and ignoring the facts isn’t enough to get us to move this man out of office, how about lying?

Where are the weapons of mass destruction, where is Saddam’s con­nection to 9/11? Arid where are the

aluminum tubes tliat were so-called "proof" of nuclear fuel production in Iraq.

The Downing Street memo demon­strates that Bush knew Iraqi invasion justifications were not true. And later, Abu Graib torture policies were shameful and counterproductive.

Perhaps too little, too late, ignoring the facts and lying are not enough. How about spending our children, grandchildren and great grandchil­dren’s futures with his borrow and spend policies? Bush came in with a balanced budget left by President Clinton and the Congress. We now have a $300 billion a year deficit and a

‘ $.7 .trillionjnatipjnal debt. . ^- ^Bush Should oe impeached! He is totally incompefent 'He could nbt govern an ant'farm. He should be removed from office along with the equally incompetent Dick Cheney and Karl Rove. The American people should take back power. The Democratic Party should take the lead. We need a new, sensible, caring, thoughtful protective American pro­gressive movement of the people to stand up to counterbalance those bil­lionaires who are selfish and those multinationals that are uncaring, and to work for “we the people.".

Disrespectful students not as bad as CM Life tabloid'

In response to the editorial in Wednesday's paper, "Disrespectful Students,” I find it deplorable that the paper concerns themselves with such a minor issue.

Sure, the student body was disre­spectful, but Central Michigan Life has done nothing but proliferate what has become a tradition as of late of insult­ing the institution that we all belong to.

Certainly it is easy to sit back and point fingers — however, CM Life is a newspaper that claims to represent

the college I chose to go to.I chose CMU over Big Ten universi­

ties, as did many of my colleagues, and yet upon arrival I was amazed to find that our school paper is die largest contribution to what has become a plague.

-On Aug. 31, CM Life printed an arti­cle entitled “One Night Stands are Inevitable." While this article has been dismissed as satire, I hardly think tliat this is what my university stands for.

I am here for an education, I am here to earn my diploma — and I expect CM Life to represent my uni­versity as a learning institution.

Currently, CM Life has turned from a

paper that provides an unbiased view­point of the Mount Pleasant commu­nity, to a mere tabloid.

Certainly no one has forgotten the “Ladies Night Out" article written at the end of last year, and until CM Life starts printing palatable articles, it seems unfair to point fingers at our student section.

I will not stand for the condemna­tion of the university I cherish and "hold dear.

Perhaps CM Life should begin with a reevaluation of its staff and its writers.

ROIC churns out battlefield leaders

Novi freshman Jessica Westfall, Greenville fresh­man Katie Persons and BrecKenrldge freshman Kassle Hammond attend the Military Science course "Foundations of Officershlp." Instructor Sgt. First Class Edgardo Ramos discussed military rank, pay and stereo- types.

There are those who want to learn leadership and there are those who want to join the Army.

CMU’s Reserve Officers Training Corps offers both.

The ROTC trains cadets in both leadership activities and general military activities, with a slew of qualities to be learned. This year’s military service labs will include drill and ceremony, basic weapons familiarization, combat, water survival, map reading, battle drills and land navigation skills.

ROTC serves the Army branch of the military. Labs will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday nights in Finch Fieldhouse, headquarters of the Military Science Department.

Leadership and planning also will be taught, said Chelsea

.LeRoy, Kalamazoo senior and ROTC public relations officer.

“The Army’s values are loyal­ty, duty, respect, selfless ser­vice, honor, integrity and per­sonal courage," she said. “The cadets enrolled in military sci­ence participate in leadership­building activities while learn­ing basic military skills."'

Sturgis junior David Sutton said he joined. ROTC because he has wanted to be in the Army since he was a child. He hopes to be commissioned in Dec. 2006 for active duty in the the Army.

"It takes discipline to follow

orders and lead people," he said. “It taught me a lot of responsibil­ity because when I commission,I could get handed a platoon. I’ll be in charge of 40 people’s lives.” %

Each year the Chippewa Battalion plans a field training exercise, a Required event for contracted cadets and optional for non-contracted cadets.

This year’s FTX will take place at Camp Grayling, where cadets

will shoot M-16 rifles, experience military vehicle familiarization and hand grenade training.

LeRoy said cadets also \yill participate in physical fitness training from 6:30 to 7:30 a.m. on .Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in Finch.

“This is an excellent oppor­tunity for cadets to get their day started on a positive note," she said. “The PT program is

completely cadet-led with vari- ous cardiovascular and muscu­lar endurance exercises."

The ROTC program has been at CMU since 1952. This semes­ter’s total ROTC enrollment is 42, although 106 are enrolled in the military science program. There are 25 cadets enrolled at Ferris State University, a part­ner program and an extension of the Chippewa Battalion.

Indian nickname dispute not deadCMU official: Ban was ca step in the right direction’

By Jason Rising Senior Reporter

It appears the NCAA is will­ing to bend on its ban of dis­playing Native American nicknames from postseason play.

Central MichiganUniversity won its appeal and is the third school to be taken off the list of schools whose nicknames are considered “hostile and abusive," along with Utah and Florida State.

Matthew Van Alstine, direc­tor of Native American Programs at CMU, said the NCAA is doing the right thing by banning universities from displaying nicknames in post­season tournaments.

“It puts the question out there and it is a step in the right direction," he said. "The NCAA has put this issue in the •national spotlight.”

Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe spokesman Joe Sowmick worked diligently with CMU and the NCAA in order to make a quick deci­sion.

"I credit the executive committee for examining the issue on a per-university basis,” Sowmick said. "They saw the relationship between the tribe and uni­versity and made a logical decision."

The : unexpectedannouncement came before last Friday's football game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium against Indiana. The deci­sion was welcomed, by cheers and applause from more than 22,000 fans in, attendance.

. Tm Very pleased, I think the NCAA acted very swiftly in this manner," said Athletics Director Herb Deromedi. “Joe did a great job condensing the original 23-page report in the appeal-and once a dialogue between the NCAA and CMU was opened, the process did­n't take long."

University President Michael Rao submitted the appeal Aug. 26. The timing of the decision came as a bit of a surprise to the university.

“We expected a decision in a timely manner," said Rich Morrison, associate vice president of Public Relations. "We had heard-it was getting close to a decision being made, but it was little sur­prising.”

Sowmick met with the NCAA executive committee via telephone early last week to further discuss the rela­tionship between CMU and the tribe.

Only 15 schools remain on the list of schools with banned nicknames.

Three members suing AlphaLawsuit claims I was in the wrong rather than

sorority violating , its own rules - "

By Ryan Loftis . Staff Reporter

Alpha Gamma Delta is cur­rently under fire as three CMU students are suing the sorority for violating its. own rules.

A lawsuit filed last week by Potterville senior Sydney Lipsey, Traverse City senior Nicole Hendricks and Clinton Township senior Christina Fox alleges the social sorority vio­lated its own housing bylaws.

Lypsey said Alpha Gamma Delta bylaws state residency in two houses officially belonging to the sorority is to be given first to-members of its executive council — followed by sorority officers, seniors and remaining members by initiation.

The sorority violated its bylaws, she said, by giving housing to executive council members, members who had not lived in an official Alpha Gamma Delta residence and members who had lived in one ofthe residences for a year. ’

Lipsey was unsuccessful when raising her concerns to the executive council. • .

“They just continued to tell me

rfl Claims 'B^lsxecufwe. &oai!3 members that said the board' followed Alpha Gamma Delta bylaws when assigning housing are untrue, Lipsey said — demonstrated by the bylaws not being updated with the new procedure.

It was Lipsey’s understanding she only had to live in Alpha Gamma Delta house for a year, but she was told last November to sign a lease for living in sorority housing again.

She said when she did not sign, her membership in the sorority was suspended.

“They're claiming. I’m hot fulfilling my membership duties when all I’m actually doing is calling them out on something they’re doing wrong and trying to make the chapter a better place,” Lipsey said. *

Alpha Gamma Delta President Kristen Alters and a representative from the sorori­ty’s international headquarters in Indianapolis said they could nbt.comment on the lawsuit.

Fox and Hendricks were unavailable for comment. Alpha Gamma Delta has not yet responded to the lawsuit, Lipsey said, and she expressed doubt tlie matter would be resolved.

However, in,a letter submit­

ted to Greek Life and CM Life, Hendricks’ parents, Linda and

: Bob,’- said the^ werelsuVpTisedT *'whlh'tft.ey received ^Ijill for.''; rhr6lfe' than $1,000 for tile fall

semester from the sorority — after she quit verbally and in writing.

“Finally, we discovered that the majority of this bill was for fines for sorority activities she had missed even though* she made clear her desire to resign from tlie sorority," the letter said.

Those fines included $798 for sorority rush and $191.23 for a Cedar Point fund-raiser.

“This may be a good lesson to college students who have a tendency to believe that people are fair and equitable and that they will be dealt with in good faith,” the parents wrote., The lawsuit is not predicted to threaten the sorority’s charter.

"This shouldn’t have any­thing to do with their Status as

an organization that I’m aware of," said Greek. Life Adviser

’ThOmasIdema.’1 : ): tBema'§aid! fhe lawsuit^Kisq, ' will not threaten Greek life in general at CMU.

“It shouldn’t have any impact on the rest of the organization. Alpha Gamma Delta is their own organization, and the university is not involved in any way with this,” said Idema, assistant director of Student Life.

Idema said he was not aware of any lawsuits at CMU in the recent past.

Lipsey said she simply wants her lease to be terminated and for the sorority to “realize what they did was wrong."

She said violation of housing * bylaws sends sorority members the wrong message.

“It shows they’re only there to be recruited rather than being a valued member, a val­ued sister;” she said.

Williams remembered as ‘care-free5continued from page 1A

forThursday afternoon, he said.It’s" always a tragedy when a

student. dies, regardless of whether the cause of death is known or unknown, said Dean of Students Bruce Roscoe.

“We're always sad to learn of a loss of a young person," he said. "None of us expect people of this age group to die sudden­ly and it happens all too often.”

Former Homecoming King in 2002, Williams was a popular figure in high school and the years that followed.

"There’s seriously nobody that didn’t love this guy /’ said Dunham, who was friends with Williams, since they were four- years-old. ‘Tve gotten calls from pretty much everyone we know and they’re all devastated."

Caro senior Dean Buggia, who had known Williams since Ijigh school and worked with him at Riverwood Golf & Resort in Mount Pleasant, said there was "just a good karma” about his friend.

“There is no one else really like Simon," Buggia said. "A lot of people are going to miss out."

Friends since fourth grade, Caro senior Dan Long said he’ll remember Williams most for his attitude of life.

"Fie was care-free and the most unselfish person IVe ever ' known in my life," Long said.

Akron senior Richard Westerby grew up with Williams through church and said he!ll remember his friend's love for life.

"He loved his friends and he loved his family and he loved his music," said Westerby,

adding his friend was an amaz­ing drummer and played in a jazz band in high school.. Always spontaneous, Shaeena said Williams entertained his friends with his royal blue guitar.

“He would be on it all’ day and night,” he said. ■* Ubly junior Chris Rivard worked with Williams during the summer and said he was an all around great person.

“He- was just a hilarious guy to be around — full of energy," Rivard said.

He is survived by his mother Lilia Kolonowski, ’ younger brother Jersey, youn'ger sister Delia, older sister Jessica and nephew Isaah.

All four pleaded not guilty.Corrections Officer Bob

Banta of the IsabeilaCounty Jail said no additional arrests have been made and nobody had posted bond as of Thursday.

"We’ve had no new bookings in the case yet,” he said.

Chamberlain, acting as the one-man grand jury, set bond at $1 million on the second-, degree murder charges and $100,000 on all other charges.

Second-degree murder car­ries a maximum life sentence. Involuntary manslaughter and perjury carry maxi­mum 15-year sentences, while assault with intent is a 10-year maxi­mum sentence.Obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact charges are five year maximum sen­tences.

Investigators say more indictments and arrests in the case will be announced.

Hawkins

The three football players were named in eight of the 22 indictments issued in connec­tion .with the July 14, 2004 death of Graham, a Flint native.

Graham was beaten uncon­scious outside Shaboom's Pub Club, 106 Court St., in the early morning of June 25, 2004. He later died three weeks later at St. Mary's Hospital in Saginaw.

Investigators said in an autopsy his death was a result of blunt force head trauma stemming from the altercation last June.

Senior Reporter Jeremy Gonsior contributed to this article.

King linked in murder case, cover-upcontinued from page 1A

The indictments show a cover-up that may have begun at Jerry Seymour’s apartment shortly after the fight at Shaboom's Pub Club on June 25, 2004. Seymour, the All-Mid American Conference running back charged with second degree murder in the case, also faces charges of perjury.

His.perjury indictment states he allegedly lied to the grand jury "that he had no discus­sions afterward with people at his apartment about the assault that occurred and that, he did not identify James King as a person who was at hjs apartment after the assault had occurred."

There are'three outstanding indictments for second degree murder, involuntarymanslaughter and assault with intent to do great bodily harm.

The grand jury began on Sept., 21 of last year after frus­trated Mount Pleasant Police investigators could not get wit­nesses to cooperate. Chief

Judge Paul Chamberlain appointed himself the lone grand juror and has since sent six students, including Seymour, to jail for contempt charges of lying. Phone compa­ny Nextel also was given a sus­pended sentence for contempt.

- Police searched/the apart- mentsof King and fqrprer foot-; ball safety Michael Thomas on Aug. 24,2004. Thomas’ car also was searched with a warrant.

Police said they ,had found blood samples and seized clothing and footwear, but authorities have never said whether that evidence came from King and of Thomas, a native of Fort Myers, Fla.

King spent a few hours in jail on March 22 when he was held in civil contempt of court for failing to show up for grand jury testimony with an attor­ney. He later complied and was released from jail that day.

King told Central Michigan Life in a Sept. 14, 2004 inter­view that he went to the police the day after what he saw hap­pen outside the Pub. He said he

tried to stop the altercation from happening — both physic cally and verbally.

“I did both really, but I was told not to even speak of it," King said. “I went in there and I did what I deemed necessary to do after watching what I watched.” „

King told the Detroit Free Press for aSept. 11 story thathe did not cause Graham’s death, but he acknowledged that he was at the Pub that night and said he tried to prevent the altercation.

“I think the incident could have been prevented,” King said at the time. "I can’t really go into details about it, but I think it’s definitely a tragedy. Nobodydeserves to die.”

During his four-year career as a Chippewa, King also founded and was president of the Non- Violence Coalition on campus.

University President Michael Rad once credited King for his efforts in getting the campus community to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day off from classes.

to 2002By Jason Rising

Senior Reporter

Football coach Brian Kelly was in the midst of a NCAA Division II National Championship season

at Grand Valley State University when CMU won its last road game.

It was 2002, and CMU has lost 13 con­secutive road games since.

That last win was a Nov. 2 triumph against Eastern Michigan under former coach Mike DeBord. ‘ ,

DeBord who was the culprit of seven of those losses, handed the streak over to Brian Kelly in 2004.

Kelly was unable to snap it, as his team went 0-6 on the road last year.

CMU will get its first crack at ending the streak this season when it travels to Miami for its Mid-American Conference opener Saturday.

“The players need to trust the coaches and what we say,” Kelly said. “So far they haven’t followed die game plan we work on every day.":

Players were barred from talking to the media about all issues this week stem­ming from three indictments of CMU football players in the DeMarcus Graham homicide case.

So, not only does the team have a gameplan to work on, but also has a plethora of off-the-field issues laying on the back burner.

Running backsvjejfy Seymour ancf^^^ Spence^iLewis,4v^re kicked offjtJ|i&te?i¥fi^ Thursday stemming from thefr- allejfei1 involvement in 'Gfaham’s^b&thr^''

The 13-game road losing streak is the longest in CMU history.

The Chippewas are giving up an aver­age of 37 points per game, and have lost by an average margin of 22 points during the streak.

Central came close to winning on the road twice last season, but faded in die waning moments.

It lost 61-58 to Eastern at Ford Field and also came close at Toledo losing 27-22.

'as discouraging not

the road for so long," said former offen­sive tackle Adam Kieft. "If one tiling didn’t go our way we wouldn't bounce back."

Athletics director Herb Deromedi coached the football team from 1978-93 and won a MAC record 110 games.

Deromedi said winning on the road has as much to do with being mentally focused as it does being physi­cally prepared.

“Remaining focused is the key element," he said. “You have to tune out all other factors and stay mentally tough."

Miami coach ^B^ri'e-Mcffitgomery ^la^^ared his*Te’iih'fmUMU’sj spread offense and is making sure Central doesn't end its road-winless streak at Miami’s expense.

“We have to be ready for any­thing," Montgomery said. “They are a threat running the ball and they will spread om defense out.”

Kelly overlooking arrests, focuses on game

Expectations still high after week of off-field issues

. By Kevin MacMillan Senior Reporter

; Football coach Brian Kelly .won’t be worrying about the arrests of three football players come Saturday.

He’s' positive his players won’t be affected either when die team plays Miami at 2 p.m. in Oxford, Ohio.

When asked Wednesday about the team’s mental state of mind heading into Saturday’s Mid-American Conference matchup, Kelly was quick to fire back with a question of his own.- "Why are they here (at CMU)?” he said. "To go to class, get a degree and play football at their highest level; that’s it. If they can’t live up to that, and they are worrying

Spencer Lewis and juniorJerry. Seymour were arrested Tuesday and charged with second-degree murder, involuntarymanslaughter, assault with intent to do great bodily harm and perjury in the DeMarcus Graham Beating death case. Senior defensive tackle James Cooper also wps arrested on two counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact.

True freshman. Ontario Sneed, who rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown in his collegiate debut last weekend in a 20-13 loss against Indiana, is the starting tailback for CMU. Kelly is unsure of a back­up, but said senior Jacob Flintnt's/J Pt*/}rrr^Qrt TV/xtf onri

! Anthony Boykins will vie for the position.

“We’ve still got ten games left on the schedule,” Kelly said. "We need to be locked in and focused on our gameplan and not worry ourselves about who is going to play where.”

Kelly instilled a gag order on the team Tuesday, helping them focus on the RedHawks.

MU is coming off a 34-14 defeat at Ohio State last Saturday, but coach Shane Montgomery knows the score could and should have been closer.

"We’re very disappointed with the OSU game,” he said. “We made too many mistakes and dug ourselves in a hole too early.”

The RedHawk offense was inconsistent throughout the game, allowing five sacks, and could only muster 48 rushing yards. Quarterback Josh Betts threw an intercep-

FOOTBALL BREAKDOWN

Betts too much for CentralSports editor Nathan

Mueller matches up the two teams for Saturday’s game:

QuarterbacksMiami’s Josh Betts amassed

250 yards passing against one of the nation’s top defenses in Ohio State last weekend.

CMU’s Kent Smith did not get off to as good of staft as he would have liked. Smith threw for 216 yards in Friday's loss to Indiana and missed several open receivers.

Advantage: Miami. Betts has the experi­ence and a pair, of high-caliber receivers on his side. He threw 44 times last weekend, expect more of the same against CMU.

Running BacksTrue freshman Ontario

Sneed will make his first start for CMU. He rushed for 148 yards and a touchdown against Indiana. The backups behind Sneed are unproven at best.

Miami starts sophomore Brandon Murphy who rushed for 48 yards against OSU. Two other RBs will also take car­ries.

Advantage: Even. Neither team has a dominant running game and both defenses are focused on stopping the run.

MU's offensive line vs. CMLTs front seven

Defensive end Dan Bazuin made an early bid for MAC Player of the Year with his per­formance against IU. He amassed 10 tackles, two sacks and forced two fumbles.

Miami allowed five sacks to OSU and the rush offense only managed 48 yards.

Advantage: CMU. Bazuin

showed that he has to be double- teamed or he will wreak havoc on Betts all day. ”

CMU's offensive line vs. MU's front seven

CMU’s. offensive line strug­gled heavily against IU. Smith had constant pressure in the pocket, and outside of Sneed's 80-yard run, the running game struggled.

Miami allowed 382 yards of total offense, 160 of that com­ing on the ground. Six of the seven starters are seniors.

Advantage: Miami. CMU is still looking for continuity on the line, while Miami has expe­rience at all posi­tions. Smith will be on the run all day.

‘MU's receivers vs. CMU's secondary

. CMU’s secondary looked' much better than last season against the Hoosiers, but that was Indiana. Betts has two top receivers in Martin Nance and Ryne Robinson. The two combined for 17 catches and 202 yards against OSU.

Advantage: Miami. Nance and Robinson are both better than any of lU’s receivers. CMU has made strides in the back end, but not enough to com­pete against the MAG’s elite. ‘

CMU's receivers vs. MU's secondary

Ohio State only had 222 passing yards against the RedHawks. A pair of seniors start at the corners for Miami, including Darrell Hunter who

had an interception against OSU.

Central had 216 yards pass­ing against IU, with Sneed being the leading receiver with four catches.

Advantage: Miami. The RedHawks are physical at the line and have experience.CMU's receivers1 still are searching for their confi­dence.

Special TeamsThe kicking game quite

possibly cost CMU the game against Indiana. CMU kicked away from lU's returner and Robinson is just as good.

Advantage: Miami. If CMU tries to keep the ' 'ball away from Robinson it will \ ’SyBsm once again have to defend a short field.

CoachesBrian Kelly has more than

just X’s and O's to deal with this week. His team has been kept away from the media in hopes of keeping them focused on the game.

Advantage: Miami. Shane Montgomery gets to just focus on the football ^ aspect, while /jML. jk. Kelly has to try and get his team 'through tough non-football related issues.

Prediction:MiamiBl, CMU 13Miami is just too much for

the Chippqwas right now.

Sneed handed starting role at Miamicontinued from page IB

Nance (nine catches, 106 yards), and Ryne Robinson (eight catches, 96 yards) will chal­lenge CMU sophomore comer- backs Raeshon Ball and Ronnie Jackson. The CMU secondary gave up 276 yards and three touchdowns against Indiana.

The Red Hawk’s strength is defense and is headlined by all-MAC linebackers Terna Nande and John Busing, defen­sive end Marcus Johnson and cornerback- Darrell Hunter.

"MU held1 OSU to 222" passing yards and 382 total yards.

Both Kelly and assistant coach Jeff Quinn said CMU’s offense was inconsistent and needs improvement.

“Our defense played great last week, but our offense should be better," Kelly said. “We aren't going to change our gameplan any to improve; the players are just going to have to cultivate and develop and get better because we're facing a pretty good team down there in Miami.”

CMU and MU haven't played since 1999, when the RedHawks beat the Chippewas

. 24-16 in Mount Pleasant..Miami is 40-16-1 in MAC

• home openers, and 86-23-4 all-time in home opening games. The RedHawks have won 10 consecutive games at Yager Stadium.

CMU is 4-3 the past three seasons in MAC home open­ers, including a 24-21 win against Kent State last season.

Saturday's game is the RedHawks’ homecoming.

"We are definitely going to see some solid play this week­end," said coach Erik Olson. “All three of these teams are going to be hungry and we need to learn as much' as we can this weekend.”

Senior mid-fielder Erica Takach was the first to admit there were moments last week­end where she and her team­mates lost focus.

The focus this week for the field hockey team is sustaining consistent play throughout the game.

CMU (1-1) plays at Northwestern today and Virginia Saturday.

“There were moments last weekend, In particular Friday,

when the team slacked off, myself included," Takach said. “If one person on the field isn’t talking or is slack­ing, then it creates a domino effect and leads to break­downs. That cannot and will not happen this weekend."

Coach Cristy Freese said her team’s physical condi­tioning will be tested this weekend.

"The games are going to be veiy up tempo and intense,” Freese said. “We are facing two' formidable opponents from premiere conferences."

Virginia is 2-1 and is coming off a 4-0 loss to Old Dominion.

"Virginia is coming off a tough loss and will be ready to play,” Takach said. “We have to make sure to play the full 70 minutes and to be on top of every loose ball.”CMU worked heavily on offensive, and defensive strategies for penalty corner situations in practice this week.

“Connecting. on scoring opportunities will be key for our team,” Freese said. “We are playing top level competi­tion, which means that we will

have less scoring opportuni­ties. We must capitalize and not miss out on easy goals like we did last weekend.”

Program pairs students with intellectually disabled

By Megan Crockett Staff Reporter

Best Buddies will be holding two meetings next week for students interested in becom­ing buddies with intellectually disabled individuals.

One meeting will be Monday at 9 p.m. in Gfawn 100 and the otlier will be held Wednesday at 9 p.m. in Anspach 162.

The meetings will be an intro­duction to the organization, which pairs college students with community members who are intellectually disabled.

“We give both college stu­dents and community buddies applications and matching sur­veys," said Andrea Thompson, Fenton junior and chapter pres­ident.

The application is followed by an interview, which goes over the requirements and commit­ments of the program with stu­dents individually. They also will be matched to a buddy.

Thompson said next week’s meetings will include informa­tion about the requirements of being a buddy, what to expect as a buddy and the chance to schedule an interview.

Students who participate are required to meet with their buddies twice a month, contact their buddies once a week and participate in outings for the

entire group.Last year, about 50 college

students and 30 community members participated in the program, Thompson said. She expects about 100 students at the meetings next week, after having 200 students express interest Aug. 28 at MAINStage.

’ The CMU- chapter of the group was started six years ago after Sue Courington, a special education teacher at Mount Pleasant High School, had a parent mention the interna­tional organization to her.

The organization includes more than 1,000 chapters world­wide and was founded in 1989.

"The kids just love it,” said Courington, a Mount Pleasant resident. "It’s cool to have someone to buddy up with."

Courington continues to stay involved with the group by ensur­ing her students get the proper forms to participate.

Thompson said working with a buddy could be great experi­ence for someone studying spe­cial education, but it is a valu­able experience for anyone.

“It gave me a new perspective on life," said Thompson, who is going into her fourth year of involvement with the group.

“I think it helps people understand andgrieve better.33LuEllen Gillespie, Hazel Park sophomore

Is 9/11 ready for the big screen?Students support tribute, oppose exploitation

By Patrick Hargis Staff Reporter

Several movies about the Sept. 11 terrorist'attacks are currently in production, as the events' four-year anniversary nears.

And many in the communi­ty are undecided on whether they are a good idea.

Movies such as “Flight 93," an untitled Oliver Stone movie and a currently untitled mini­series to air on NBC and ABC based on the “9/11 Commission Report" all deal with the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Some students think Sept. 11 movies 'could be a good tribute to the fallen.

“I think it helps people understand and grieve better,” said LuEllen Gillespie, Hazel Park sophomore.

Others students say Hollywood is exploiting an event responsible for some 3,000 deaths and a drastic change in American life to make money.

“If they are doing it just for money, then that becomes a problem," said Lowell fresh­man Karl Bouwhuis. "But if they are doing it as a symbol of respect, then it is fine with me.”

’ Some were concerned with the showing of Sept. 11 enter­tainment while the country is at war, such as Christi Brookes, foreign language, literature and culture assistant professor.

umentaries about Sept. 11 already released, such as “9/11" and the controversial “Fahrenheit 9/11," but no large-scale dramatic depic­tions of .the events have been released yet.

The fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington D.C. and the flight that crashed in

Pennsylvania is Sunday. To mark the anniversary, the Discovery Channel is airing a docudrama called "The Flight that Fought Back" about the heroic efforts to thwart the terrorists on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania.

The Volunteer Center is giving out ribbons to students to com­memorate the anniversary, and students also can get involved in the David Garcia Project, named after a disabled man who per­ished in tlie attacks.

Helpful hints for hazardous driversYour mesh trucker hats are

unpacked, you have, your TiVo recording. “Laguna Beach", and your cars are safely contained at the SAC -where they cannot hurt anyone for now. Listen up, freshmen because the Sean X Johnston School of Driving Arts is now in session.' This goes for you too, upper­classmen. * 7

After it took me 20 minutes to drive from the Bovee University Center parking lot to Moore Hall this week, it’s obvious you heed a refresher course.’ Let me begin my lecture by saying that I do not drive what would be considered a high- performance automobile.

It has a number of quirks, like an unidentifiable clanking sound that deafens passers-by when I hit even the smallest bump, or more importantly, my windshield wipers are dam­aged so that instead of misting fluid on my windshield it Fires a short pressurized burst of foul­smelling solution up to six feet to the right of my car.

Think of it as a broadside, and if you upset me, I will open fire.

I'm not going to teach you how to switch lanes or parallel park. I'm going to teach you what to do or what not to do, so that X don’t feel the need to sac: rifice my $200 car in the hopes of teaching you a lesson.

First, don’t you ever, ever try to turn left in front of me at any

Sean T. JohnstonHumor Columnist

intersection where I have the right.of way, and am just pro­ceeding straight. I have just enough non-corroded area in my fuel pump to allow me a turbo boost right into your pas­senger side.

You., 'don’t think I’m that crazy? I don't even think my car is insured right.noWj and I sat through a -two hour Vector Marketing presentation. I’m crazy, baby.

Second, while it is true pedestrians can do whatever they want, this does not give you free license to walk out in front of me on a whim, just because your Payless sandals are worth more than my tires.

You’d better hope that if you do decide to make this most grievous mistake that, shall we say, that popped collar you're sporting makes a good neck brace. Think you’ll call my bluff? Look at my bumper.

Finally, I'm really, really sorry the Enzyte. you’re taking isn't working, but you're not proving anything to anybody by blast­ing your terrible' music out of

your subwoofers.You know, the ones that are

worth more dian the femanu- factured transmission I put in my, car after Christmas. The ultra low frequency of your bass does far more damage to my digestive system for some rea­son than it does to my car, and the damage to my car is exten­sive because you're driving down Bellows "In da Club.’’

I'm probably not going to do anything offensive with my vehicle if you choose to act this way.

Most likely because I am comfortable knowing that the music you are listening to at that volume is certainly reflec­tive of your sterile, meaningless existence that goes no deeper than the Abercrombie shirt you wear, and the pickup truck your parents bought you that semester you got above a 2.0.

Pay attention.to what’s going on around you, obey the shiny, easy-to-read traffic signs, and don’t triple park across three spaces when everyone else is trying to find a spot and we'll be fine.

And if you choose not to heed my advice, I drive a silver 1991 Plymoutli Acclaim, and it wants nothing more than to go out in a blaze of glorious retribution.
