An ongoing case before the U.S. Supreme Court could change the way violent video games are bought or rented.

The court heard oral argu-ments Tuesday regarding a California law seeking to pro-hibit the sale or rental of such games to minors.

California Deputy Attorney General Zackery Morazzini asked the court to adopt a law permitting states to re-strict minors’ ability to pur-chase “deviant,” violent video games.

However, several jus-tices questioned the valid-

ity of such a law during the Schwarzenegger v. Entertain-ment Merchants Association oral hearing .

“What’s a deviant violent video game?” Justice Antonin Scalia asked. “As opposed to what? A normal violent video game? Some of the Grimm’s fairy tales are quite grim, to tell you the truth.”

Justice Ruth Bader Gins-burg questioned whether the considerations can be lim-ited to video games without including other media.

Morazzini said California lawmakers were provided with substantial evidence that video games in which minors play the role of an aggressor are harmful to the development of those

About 2,300 students have withdrawn from courses so far this semester.

Registrar Karen Hutslar said the figure is nothing new for CMU.

“We usually have between two and three thousand course withdrawals by the end of the semester,” Hutslar said.

She said the university will not know the exact figures for class withdrawals until the end of the term. She did not know which class standing has the highest rate of class with-drawal, but said seniors likely do because they are closer to graduation.

Oct. 29 was the last day stu-dents could withdraw from a

course.Health issues and falling

behind on coursework are the main reasons students decide to drop classes, Hutslar said.

“Some students take on too big of a schedule and fall behind,” she said. “Withdraw-ing from classes gives them more time to devote to other classes.”

A student must have their professor sign a course with-drawal slip and submit it to the registrar’s office to drop a class.

A withdrawal on course grades indicates a student did not complete a given class, but also did not fail. Students who withdraw from a class midway through the semester do not receive a refund.

Many students find picking classes for college overwhelm-ing, especially incoming fresh-

Alcohol violations increased 54 percent from the previous CMU-hosted Western Weekend in 2008.

Area police agencies wrote 105 alcohol-related citations this weekend, compared to

68 such citations in 2008. The Mount Pleasant Police Depart-ment wrote the bulk of the tick-ets — 77 for minors-in-posses-sion and open intoxicants.

CMU Police handed out four MIPs at Friday’s tailgate and parties following the game. Sgt. David Coffman said it was just another football weekend for his department.

“There were enough police in the area to deal with the influx of football attendees,” he said.

The Isabella County Sheriff’s Department wrote 19 MIP ci-

tations and three open intoxi-cants and broke up 16 parties. Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski said the weekend went well and agreed with Coffman about po-lice having a grasp on the situ-ation.

“The extra police officers were more of a deterrent,” Mi-oduszewski said. “They were highly visible.”

Mioduszewski said the sher-iff’s department did not take a different approach than the MPPD, but student-heavy ar-eas like Main Street fall into the

city’s jurisdiction.The MPPD pledged a heavy

police presence following the Halloween weekend, said Pub-lic Information Officer Jeff Browne.

“The Mount Pleasant Police Department considers the Cen-tral Michigan University versus Western Michigan University weekend a success,” Browne said in a press release.

Agencies also wrote nine tickets for operating while in-toxicated and 18 tickets for dis-orderly conduct.

Attempted robberyAn unknown suspect at-

The suspect allegedly de-manded the victim’s wallets and threatened them with a six-inch long knife, according to a CMU Police crime alert.

The Central Alert System sent out notifications at about 8:15.

The suspect was not suc-cessful and neither victim was injured. CMU Police have yet to identify a suspect or any per-

place between Campbell Hall and lot 39, near the sand volley-ball courts.

The players on the field of Kelly/Shorts Stadium Sun-day night may have been dressed in pink, but the quality of football remained the same — rough.

About 80 women from Saxe/Herrig/Celani and Fa-biano/Emmons/Woldt resi-dence halls hit the field for the third annual Central/Western Weekend Challenge for Breast Cancer Aware-ness.

The two-hand touch game of powderpuff football was full of big hits, tough calls and tons of competitive en-ergy from each team.

“It’s become a tradition and something the girls re-ally enjoy doing,” said Ben Witt, head coach for SHC team and Saxe Residence Hall director. “The only thing we’re trying to beat tonight is cancer. The girls go out and have a good time and it gives them a chance to play at Kelly/Shorts Sta-dium, which most students never get the chance to do.”

After a long struggle, the 2008 and 2009 winner SHC continued their winning streak by defeating FEW 6-0 after Kelly Cartner caught the winning touchdown in triple over-time. The Oxford freshman, who played wide receiver for FEW and was

also named game MVP, said catching that pass was the best feeling in the world.

“We did awesome; offense scores points but defense wins games,” Cartner said. “I think this event is the great-est thing in the world.”

All proceeds from the event go to the Kelly Cares Foundation which supports breast cancer research, treatment and education. It was founded by former CMU Football head coach Brian Kelly.

Witt said it is one of the

most popular fundraisers for breast cancer hosted by the residence halls and the number of interested par-ticipants has doubled each year since its start in 2008.

Illinois sophomore Tricia Henry, who played lineback-er for FEW, said while they were hoping for the win, it’s really all about the cause.

“I played powderpuff football in high school and it was a lot more tackling and fighting, but everyone out there is just having fun and being competitive at the same time,” Henry said. “I love tonight’s cause.”

individuals.Additionally, he said, video

games can be deemed “de-viant” by implementing the Miller standard, a test to de-termines when explicit mate-rial is obscene and unprotect-ed by the First Amendment.

Scalia said he is concerned the California law infringes on First Amendment rights.

“You are asking us to cre-ate a whole new prohibition which the American people never ratified when they rati-fied the First Amendment,” he said. “What’s next after vio-lence?”

IN the WroNG?Justice Stephen Breyer

asked why it would be wrong for a state to institute a law requiring parents to purchase games with violent content for their children.

Paul Smith, a lawyer repre-senting the video game indus-try, said the Entertainment Software Rating Board, the nonprofit that rates the matu-rity of video games, is enough to alert parents about a game’s content.

“We do have a new medium here,” Smith said, “but we have a history in this coun-try of new mediums coming along and people vastly over-reacting to them, thinking the sky is falling, our children are all going to be turned into criminals.”

Jennifer Mercurio, vice president and general counsel of the nonprofit Entertain-ment Consumers Association, said this is a huge case for the gaming industry.

“There are a number of ar-guments premised upon each other for this case,” she said in an e-mailed response, “but the underlying main question that answers most of them is whether or not video games are protected speech in the same way that other enter-tainment media are.”

If the Supreme Court de-

cides video games are not protected speech, she said, “a chilling wind will blow through the industry and the development of ground-breaking video games could be curtailed.”

Grosse Pointe Farms gradu-ate student Alex Grabski said video games are a form of ar-tistic expression and violent content is often appropriate to a game’s narrative.

“Ultimately, it comes down to a parent’s decision, if they think their kid is mature enough to handle what’s in a game,” he said. “Violence can be done well in games and can be done appropriately.”

Grabski said he’s nervous about the idea of the govern-ment deciding what games are too violent for minors.

“It puts the decision as to what should be censored and what should not be censored into someone else’s hands, it becomes much more subjec-tive than objective in terms of rating,” he said. “Who’s to say they’re the best judge, partic-ularly if it’s some kind of par-ent’s council or something.”

A car crash claimed the life of a 41-year-old Native American woman at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Frank Cloutier, Public Rela-tions Director for Saginaw Chip-pewa Indian Tribe, said the fa-tality happened after a single car rolled several times. The acci-

dent is still under investigation.“I don’t know who the victim

is yet,” he said. “They’re sill noti-fying family members.”

The accident occurred at Baseline and Crawford roads, north of Mount Pleasant.

Weekend rollover kills local woman

men, said Livonia freshman Ryan Gabrish. The larger stu-dent body inhibits CMU from assisting students at a more personal level, like in high school, he said.

“Students show dissatisfac-tion of courses due to the fact that they haven’t been prop-erly educated on how to select them,” Gabrish said. “Many pick schedules according to free time, not because they actually need the class.”

Dropping a course midway through a semester usually means a student has an un-satisfactory grade, said Dean of Students Bruce Roscoe. But the decision to withdraw does not always mean a student is lazy or irresponsible.

“It isn’t an easily-made de-cision. They think it through,” Roscoe said. “If a student feels it is in their best interest to withdraw, then they should withdraw.”

Grand Haven freshman Nick Dewitt said he withdrew from a physical science class not because he was failing, but because he did not feel the course was being taught well.

“For how much work I was putting in, it wasn’t being re-flected in my grade,” Dewitt said.

a bird’s eye view

When college students look at Mount Pleasant, they see a busy Mission Street packed with cars, familiar restaurants and the same apartment complexes from day to day.

The Central Michigan Life photo staff wants to broaden that view with this series of photographs. Seven photographers took part in an aerial photography workshop

Sunday under the direction of Kent Miller, assistant professor of photojournalism and new media, and pilot Craig Beines of Saginaw. Eleven students flew total.

The students boarded the airplane at the Mount Pleasant Municipal Airport, 5453 E. Airport Road.

Photographers chose which direction to fly and guided the pilot on altitude and wing position for the best possible angle for each photo, Miller said.

Each student flew for about 30 minutes.

Miller said students need the experience of shooting aerials before it becomes a job necessity.

He said aside from preparation for jobs in the field, it is just a fun and interesting way to shoot.

“It’s pretty amazing because you can see for miles,” he said. “You can see all of cam-pus at once, you know? You can see farm after farm after farm. I never realized how many farms there were outside of Mount Pleasant.”

Letter: University must also limit own paper use

I used to be a student who would not settle for less than an A. Perfect grades were my only goal.

Nowadays that kind of student is my biggest pet peeve.

Getting excellent grades was not satisfying at all. In fact, I was more upset about the grades that fell below my expectations than I was happy about those that surpassed it. I wondered if it was worth all the trouble.

You have to ask questions in order to challenge assumptions and the main question is, what is the point of grades?

Teachers will say that grades are meant to gauge learning. Employers will say they measure work ethic. Parents might say that they make sure students are not slacking.

Some people believe grades are a perennial sorting device that tells the smart and dedicated from those who are less so.

Either way, it does not feel like grades are doing a good job in any category.

If it is possible for a student to put in half the work of another student in a class and achieve the same grade, something is amiss. This happens more often than people realize.

Most students have gone through their entire educational experience procrastinating on work and simply avoiding truancy. They know that is enough to pass a class and that is exactly the amount of work many of them put in.

So it doesn’t sound to me like grades are a good measure of “work ethic.”

Not only are grades being used as a ruler, they are employed as a method of coercion.

Grades are both the shiny car-rot dangling in front of the good students and the whip cracking behind the bad ones.

Classes become about grades, not learning. In fact, genuine criti-cal thinking might get in the way of following instructions in the grading rubric.

A student’s level of learning is also abstract and temporary. This makes grading an obtuse tool since a student might know 90 percent of the subject now and only remember a third of that information in six months.

By the time he or she has found use for the information learned in class, it may be completely forgotten.

Then there is the claim that grades are important because they report academic performance.

What is this “academic perfor-mance” we are so desperate to measure? School is not a sports competition and students are not tools to be organized by potential.

Every student has the same po-tential, just different interests, mo-tivations and incentives. School should be helping each student achieve his or her potential, not categorizing them so they feel destined for success or failure.

It is this attitude of performance over experience, grades over learning that creates the stressed out students pulling their hairs over Bs and Cs.

Bloodbath — that’s probably the best way to describe what happened Tuesday to the Demo-crats.

Republicans received this nice little get-out-of-jail-free card as a result of the Obama administra-tion and a Democratic congress butchering things over the past two years.

While time will determine if the elected Republicans will actually live up to at least restraining the size of government, I believe the primaries did a pretty decent job of filtering the wheat from the chaff. I would say this applies not only to the national or state races, but the local races as well.

Of course, I might be biased. My dad beat the incumbent Repub-lican county commissioner in his district; going on to beat the Democrat candidate with almost a 2 to 1 vote ratio. But I digress.

As I mentioned in a previous column, Republican candidates should actually be, well, conserva-tive, even if it means they lose in the general. This is crucial to not blowing what we won on Tuesday.

I’ll use Mike Castle as an exam-ple. While Castle may have been able to beat Chris Coons in the Delaware senate race, he would have been more of a liability than an asset. Government expansions through things such as the pas-sage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program are exactly the reasons that lead to Republicans cleaning house. Yes, there are those such as John McCain who voted for TARP but still got elected. I think they realize the writing that is on the wall — they will have a second chance.

Assuming the Republicans are able to mitigate government ex-pansion, I hope that the next step would be to actually reduce its size. I am not talking just a few tax cuts here and there or slight loos-ening of regulations. I’m talking about significant changes, such as entitlement program reduction or elimination.

It will be hard to show that programs such as social security need to be eliminated. With the showing on Tuesday, however, I think people may be more recep-tive to hearing the arguments. After all, people got upset over the federal government jamming itself into health care — I can only imagine what they would think once they realize that their social security “contributions” lose value and that they have no option to opt out.

The Republicans have this one chance and hopefully they don’t blow it. Assuming they can do that, the next step is to reverse the ridiculous government expansion that has gone on over the course of both Democrat and Republi-can administrations for the last couple of decades.

The bill was approved by the House of Representatives in 2009 and would protect underage drinkers from being ticketed for Minor in Possession while seek-ing medical attention for drink-ing-related health emergencies.

Although the Mount Pleasant Police Department has claimed to only ticket minors in the

hospital in extreme situations, the risk of receiving an MIP still deters minors from going to the hospital, or the friends of those in need of aid from calling for medical assistance.

This law would send the mes-sage that the wellbeing of Michi-gan citizens is the highest prior-ity for the government, rather

than taking every opportunity to make ticket revenue.

The argument could be made this would be permitting or legitimizing underage drinking. However, it is more trying to min-imize the medical repercussions in an emergency situation.

Yes, these minors are break-ing the law and should not be drinking in the first place. The time to punish them, though, is not when the decision of whether or not to get medical attention could reach repercussions of life-or-death proportions.

After sitting on the bill for so long, now is the time for the Sen-ate to act. They reconvene this week and approving this should be a priority before the newly-

elected senators are sworn in next term.

In times of emergency, no citizen of this state should be refused, declined or discouraged from getting medical attention.

Often governments end up re-sembling Sisyphus trying to push his rock uphill ad infinitum in the fight against underage drinking. While the fight against it should be continued, and methods of deterring, discouraging and pun-ishing it should be continued to be explored and discussed, this is a matter of keeping kids alive.

This is not a concession in the fight against underaged drinking; this is an imperative.

Editor’s note: To send a letter to the editor, e-mail voices@cm-life.com.

It has recently come to my at-tention that CMU is somewhat hypocritical about how “green” they really are going. For this school year, CMU has empha-sized the importance of recycling by placing countless recycling receptacles all over campus, as well has giving students a limit to how much they can print and having water-conserving toilets in the bathrooms. But CMU’s re-cent decision to print thousands of copies of the student directory

concerns me.Now perhaps I’m biased be-

cause, as a “deskie” in the Towers, I had to sort the mail the day the directories came, and placed one in each mailbox for every room (there are 582 rooms in the Tow-ers). But I know I’m not alone when I say that printing these “creeper” books was a stupid decision. Why print hard copies of the student directory, and not more hard copies of the student bulletin instead?

I bet most students would agree that the bulletin is far more useful to have a hard copy of than a student directory. But

since both are available online, is printing either one really neces-sary? I have to ask where CMU priorities are when it comes to paper usage, especially when they find it vital to print a book that students usually toss any-way.

If there is a legitimate reason for printing all these books, please, let me know why.

If you’re going to limit how much paper students can use, should you consider giving a paper limit to yourself?

jeff sMith/staff photographerStudents gather at the tailgate lot before the Central/Western game Friday outside Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

By Hailee sattavaleStaff Reporter

Big Brothers Big Sisters in the Heart of Michigan got a big boost for planned events to help out adolescent kids.

The group received a $3,000 grant to help it start a program for middle-school girls. The grant came from the Women’s Initiative, a local nonprofit dedi-cated to supporting women of all ages.

“We will help the girls work on their self-esteem and self-confi-dence, while focusing on devel-opmental assets,” said program coordinator Krissy King.

The Mount Pleasant resident said there has been a similar program in place in Midland for two years. The Mount Pleasant program will take place at West Intermediate Middle School, 440 S. Bradley St.

The program will also provide opportunities for CMU students looking to get involved in the community.

“Every volunteer is a CMU student and we are always look-ing for more volunteers for oth-er projects,” King said. “We are expecting about 15 girls to take part in this current program.”

Past Women’s Initiative dona-tions have gone to the food pan-try, women’s aid shelter and the health department, member Janelle Joslin said.

“We raise funds to support initiatives of women and young girls, mostly through grants,” Joslin said. “When donations are made, they are not spent, but saved and the interest earned on the donations is what is given away in grants, so the pot only gets bigger.”

King is planning an etiquette luncheon as one of several events made possible by the

grant so the girls will have a good set of social skills when they’re older.

“We are so grateful for this grant,” said Susan Putnam, ex-ecutive director of BBBS in the Heart of Michigan. “We can now allow these girls to dream big and reach for the stars.”

Students, alumni and fans filled about half of the tailgate lot in Kelly/Shorts Stadium Friday for the Central/Western football game.

Clarkston senior Dave Barker said this was a poor turnout compared to previous years.

“There are more Broncos than Chippewas here today,” Barker said Friday. “It’s embar-rassing.”

CMU Police Chief Bill Yeagley said the turnout was larger than

Homecoming, but did not give a number estimate.

“There were no major inci-dents, just a few minor inju-ries and one or two disorderly arrests,” Yeagley said. “I don’t know how many OWI’s or MIP’s have been issued yet either.”

Alumnus Josh Brogan said when he attended CMU, the lot was always packed full.

“We used to fill up eight rows of cars; now we only fill two,” he said. “Tailgate sucks now. It used to be so much better.”

Alumnus Paul Wozniak said one of the reasons the team has had a difficult season could be related to the current tailgate.

“No wonder the team is suck-ing this year,” he said, “there’s

no one in the parking lot sup-porting them.”

Brogan said because of the new tailgating rules, alumni are less inclined to attend.

Barker said the section of parking lot for away team fans was almost just as full as Lot 63.

Though nothing major hap-pened for the CMU Police, Wozniak said the problem was the lack of CMU fans attending tailgate.

“The real problem is that there are more cops and Bron-cos than there are Central fans,” Wozniak said. “It’s embarrass-ing to think about.”

Tailgate sees larger crowdAlumni: turnout ‘embarrassing’

By Andrew PriceStaff Reporter

Parents and fans of CMU bands piled into Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium Saturday night in antici-pation of the third annual Band-o-Rama.

The show featured all three of the School of Music’s major concert bands and the Chip-pewa Marching Band. About 400 musicians filled the stage throughout the event.

“Tonight is the first concert performance for symphony band,” said Clarkston ju-nior Kirsten Rogers. “It’s always fun to play in War-riner Hall.”

While it was the first per-formance for symphony band, the night also held the last performance of the season for the Chippewa Marching Band, which be-gan the show with a march down the aisles of the audi-torium.

“We definitely carried in some of the energy from (Friday’s) game,” said Yale senior Ashley Wolfe, who plays the tenor saxophone. “We are affected by wins just like the football team is.”

The show at Plachta had a distinct feel from the marching band’s usual sta-dium performances.

“When we are compact up on the stage like that, there is a lot of energy and it can be pretty intense,” said Farmington Hills ju-nior Spencer Haworth. “We got a pretty good response from the crowd though. I think it went well.”

The Marching Chips played an eclectic set of music consisting of a com-bination of three of their usual live sets. They played music ranging from artists such as Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Beethoven and even Lady Gaga. They also played classic standbys like

the CMU fight song.Many of the Marching

Chips will find themselves with a lot of extra time on their hands now that their season has finished.

“I will have time to study now, or maybe have a life,” Haworth said, laughing.

Some students like Kawkawlin freshman Gabriel Deyarmond, will shift their musical focuses from the football field to the concert hall.

“I will be practicing for concert season,” Deyar-mond said. “We have a con-cert near the end of Novem-ber.”

For many seniors, this was the last performance in their Marching Band careers.

“Our group gets along re-ally well,” Holly junior Tim Hadley said. “It’s sort of like a brotherhood, I will definitely miss it.”

It isn’t every day a fan at-tends a CMU football game and drives away with a new car.

This dream came true for Robert Diedrich, when the Bloomfield Hill senior won his new Chevrolet Cobalt at halftime during Friday night’s game against West-ern Michigan University. The Village at Bluegrass, 95.3 CFX and the CMU Bookstore sponsored the Touchdown Drive-A-Way Contest.

“I didn’t think I had a chance,” Diedrich said. “This is huge ... I am so grateful; this is so exciting.”

Each week, hundreds of contestants entered their name in one of the spon-sored locations, said Mike Dabbs, director of market-ing, promotions and com-munity relations for athlet-ics.

If CMU gained 50 yards or more on a touchdown play, the athletics department would pick one qualifier from each location to have a chance to win the car. Then based off a raffle, they chose a winner of the car.

There were 13 qualifiers on the field during the half-time show.

“I think it’s fantastic,” Dabbs said. “It’s a great way for a student to get a car.”

Diedrich, a soon-to-be student teacher, did not own a car and was looking for one in order to commute around Isabella County next year.

All the sponsors contrib-uted to the purchase of the car.

Diedrich entered his name a month ago in the Village at Bluegrass leasing office and still can’t believe he won. He said it was one of the most exciting mo-ments in his life.

“Thinking back I don’t even remember it,” Diedrich said. “I almost blacked out.”

This year was the first year of the promotion and Dabbs said it was successful.

“This is a very unique pro-motion,” Dabbs said. “We thank all of our sponsors.”

Adrian Millstein wants children to make healthy choices about nutrition.

The Harper Woods junior and other volunteers from the Student Dietetics As-sociation and Foodservice Administration helped pre-pare a nutritious lunch for children Saturday.

Twenty children, be-tween ages 8 and 12, gath-ered in Wightman 110 to snack on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pretzels, celery, carrots and grapes. The volunteers shared facts about different health foods while the kids ate.

“They knew a lot more than I thought they would

have known,” Millstein said. “It’s good that they do know it’s healthy for them and why.”

Millstein told the chil-dren vitamin A in carrots is good for eyesight and cal-cium in milk makes bones strong.

Although some chil-dren said they did not like carrots or celery, they all agreed vegetables were part of a healthy diet.

The volunteers also dem-onstrated the effect of yeast in baking by having the children compare a ball of dough with a loaf of bread.

Danny Prestin said he wants to be a scientist when he grows up. The 10-year-old Birch Run resident said the most interesting things he learned at the lunch were the nutrition facts about carrots.

“They’re good for your eyes, skin and growth,” he said.

Mount Pleasant resident Alison Roh, 10, said she en-joyed her lunch. She said it is important for children to learn about food and nutri-tion.

“What we’re eating is healthy,” she said.

“It’s also really good,” said Anastasia Lebeau, 11, a Mount Pleasant resident.

Sterling Heights junior Ashley Smagacz said peo-ple should learn about nutrition so they can live healthy lives. Teaching it to children at a young age can help to prevent diseases, she said.

Smagacz said the lunch was a rewarding experience for her personally.

“I like working with kids and helping people,” she said. “I like to give them information to help them make healthier choices.”

Staff Reporter Is it possible for chicken

feathers to become the fu-ture of gasoline?

Or can a robot the size of dust cure blindness once in-serted behind the eye?

With the power of science, it is all possible, said Evan Hadingham, senior science editor for PBS’s “NOVA.”

Saturday afternoon, CMU’s SciFest 2010 showcased sci-entific materials for children and adults of all ages.

“This (show) is meant to engage the community with this kind of dialogue,” Had-ingham said.

Hadingham was the key-note speaker during the second half of the day in the Education and Human Ser-vice Building’s French Audi-torium. About 150 attendees

listened to Hadingham as he spoke about making science more relative to the audi-ence.

He also showed several introductory clips about the new NOVA series “Making Stuff.”

During the first portion of the event, about 1,000 people attended the main science festival held in the Engineering and Technology Building.

Many children, like 8-year-old Midland resident Nadia Fisher, attended. At her fa-vorite exhibit, Fisher eagerly squished globs of a chunky blue substance.

“You take this water and mix it with glue,” she said, “and then you put food col-oring in it and you squish it all together until it becomes a solid.”

Nadia said people should be involved with science “because it is cool and some-times unexpected things happen with it.”

Chemistry Professor Mary Tecklenburg, one of the

event’s organizers, said the combined science festival was for professional scien-tists, students and the gen-eral public. Hadingham’s message was built around that topic.

“He talked about bringing science to life through tele-vision,” Tecklenburg said. “That was something that scientists are very interested in, but anybody is (also) in-terested in.”

Tecklenburg said there were numerous exhibits hosting CMU science stu-dents and others from Mich-igan universities who gave poster presentations.

Ten-year-old Midland res-ident Kevin Vang’s eyes lit up when he saw the tornado ex-hibit, which described how to tell what kind of tornado is approaching.

“I liked that I got to learn new things,” Kevin said. “When you look at the clouds, you can tell what kind of tornado it is.”

PHOTOS BY JOE TOBIANSKI/staff photographerSophomore midfielder Ashley Mejilla, left, and junior defender Liesel Toth, right, hug as Western Michigan forward Stephanie Skowneski looks on following CMU’s 3-1 win against the Broncos Sunday in the Mid-American Conference tournament championship game in Toledo, Ohio. The Chippewas will play their NCAA Tournament first round game on Friday against an opponent to be determined.

CHAMPS AGAIN

If only CMU could play against Western Michigan every week.

In a win that some would call more gratifying than any win during the past couple of years, the Chip-pewas found their identity once again in Friday’s 26-22 win at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The news conference afterword was a joyous occasion as players and coaches had smiles on their faces. In the almost five years I have been a student here at CMU, the Chip-pewas have not lost to the Broncos. Five years in a row.

That is rare for any type of ri-valry and now this senior class is 4-0 against the Broncos — certainly something to celebrate with the sea-son turning out to be such a disap-pointment. This game gives the team something to hold on to, it gives them confidence going forward to finish the season and it lets the seniors go out the best way possible.

After being on the wrong end of so many close games, it seemed like the story was going to continue as the Broncos were looking to score from the 3-yard line with the clock ticking.

But it just was not meant to be for WMU, not this time, not on a Friday night in Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The defensive line pinched down, the linebackers made their reads and junior Armond Staten came through with a great tackle. Head on the ball, he wrapped up Broncos running back Brian Fields, forcing a fumble which sophomore Joe Kinville recov-ered to help seal the win.

CMU has been looking for a play like that all season and it finally came, and it could not have come at a better time.

Sophomore receiver Cody Wilson had a career day with 185 yards and a touchdown and sophomore quar-terback Ryan Radcliff finished with 300 yards and two touchdowns. They were back on the same page hooking up for 12 completions.

During the team meeting the night before, the seniors said that the underclassmen pledged to do every-thing they could to get the seniors the win and they made plays all night.

But this was a game in which the seniors were honored before the game. The senior’s last chance to step onto the home turf. Their last game against rival Western Michi-gan ever.

From kickoff you could see the emotion and adrenaline running through the players. Seniors Nick Bellore, Matt Berning and Vince Agnew combined for 35 tackles and two forced fumbles.

Senior running back Carl Volny had 91 rushing yards and a touch-down and fellow senior receiver Kito Poblah caught the game win-ning touchdown.

So make no mistake, this was se-nior night.

It has been a dreadful season full of heartbreak and disappointment. But when the Chippewas look and see those trophies, they will re-member the battle they had with the Broncos and how they came out victorious.

As the snow fell and the band played, an unfamiliar feeling set in over the stadium. Snapping a six-game losing streak with a win against your arch rival will do that though.

As for the rest of the season, many would say it doesn’t really matter. CMU is not going to make a bowl game and is out of contention for a MAC championship.

But knowing this team, and these seniors, they feel like they still have some unfinished business.

CMU beats WMU to win MAC titleBy Josh BerenterStaff Reporter

TOLEDO, Ohio — The CMU wom-en’s soccer team stormed the field at Scott Park with a string of emotion as the final seconds ticked off the clock.

For the second consecutive year, CMU is headed to the NCAA Tourna-ment.

The Chippewas defeated Western Michigan 3-1 Sunday, winning the Mid-American Conference tourna-ment and clinching a berth in the tournament for the second time in school history.

CMU head coach Tom Anagnost, in his third year at the helm, has guided the team to its first two NCAA Tournament appearances in school history.

“It hasn’t really hit yet what’s hap-pened,” Anagnost said. “I’m kind of still decompressing. I’m obviously really proud of the result, and how we preserved the win.”

CMU put the game out of reach in the 87th minute when sophomore midfielder Ashley Mejilla broke away from the defense at midfield and

Sometimes change is needed.After starting the season 2-7 and

heading into its biggest game of the sea-son against rival Western Michigan, the CMU football team installed a new 3-4 scheme defense that proved to work.

With less than three minutes to go and WMU driving for a potential game-winning touchdown, giving Chippewas fans flashbacks to the Bowling Green from a week before, a unit that has been plagued with changes all season came up big.

The back-to-back Mid-Ameri-can Conference champion Central Michigan women’s soccer team will find out its first round opponent in the NCAA Tournament at 4:30 p.m. today at O’Kelly’s Sports Bar and Grill.

It defeated in-state rival Western Michigan (10-7-5) 3-1 in Toledo, Ohio, Sunday at the Scott Park Soc-cer Complex to earn itself an auto-matic bid into the NCAA Tourna-ment.

It’s the second consecutive trip to the tournament for the CMU women’s soccer program. Last year, it defeated No. 24 Purdue 2-0 in South Bend, Ind.

Then junior defender Liesel Toth scored on a penalty kick to put Pur-due away and help the Chippewas earn their first NCAA Tournament victory. The season came to an end after it lost 6-1 to host No. 5 Notre Dame.

The experience of being to the na-tional tournament before will be key to the 2010-2011 tournament run.

“Our defensive coaches thought playing a 3-4 defense would get our best players on the field,” said CMU head coach Dan Enos. “In offense, you try and get your best 11 players in per-sonnel groupings. On defense, we tried to do the same thing.”

The new scheme gave the linebacker corp more versatility and opportunity to move, and it showed. Staten finished with 11 tackles and three forced fum-bles, similar to numbers to his more experienced counterparts Nick Bellore and Matt Bering, who played in their last game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

“It’s a great experience,” Staten said of playing with the two. “Ever since I stepped foot on this campus, they took me under their wing and showed me tricks and taught me the trade. To play with them and for them — to get this win — it means more to me and

GAME OVER WHEN ...

GAME BALL

Armond Staten

Offense

C+Sophomore quarterback Ryan Radcliff threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns while senior Carol Volny running back added 91 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The offense was more balanced than previous weeks, but still struggled for much of the first half.

Defense

B+While the defense cost CMU wins in other games, it came up big on Friday with a fumble recovery late in the fourth quarter that saved the game. Armond Staten had three of the team’s five forced fumbles, while four players had double digit tackle totals.

Special Teams

BThe best game of the season for the special teams unit. Freshman place kicker David Harman went 2-for-2 in field goals, kicking from 35 and 22 yards. Punter Brett Hartmann averaged better than 41 yards during his four punts.

Overall

BThey didn’t play the best offensively, but came through on enough scoring opportunities and took advantage of turnovers to get the win. Radcliff looked a little more improvisational while receiver Cody Wilson contin-ued his sensational season. For the first time this season, it appeared the team learned how to win.

WMU running back Brian Fields fumbled the ball on second and goal from the CMU 3-yard line with 1:37 remaining in the game. Looking eerily similar to CMU’s game against Bowling Green the previous week, the defense came up big, recovering the ball and se-curing the team’s fifth consecu-tive win against the Broncos.

Junior line-backer Armond Staten had the biggest game of his career on Friday, re-cording 11 tack-les and three forced fumbles, including a po-tential game-saving touchdown run. Head coach Dan Enos said Staten’s had one of the best sea-sons of any of the linebackers.

came up just short of a win in third overtime Saturday when they failed to complete a two-point conversion. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase led the Fighting Illini with four touch-downs. Illinois running back Mikel Leshoure rushed for 211 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries. After three consecu-tive losses, Michigan (6-3, 2-3 Big Ten) came out on the win-ning end of the highest scor-ing game in Wolverines history. Denard Robinson who played well, racking up 367 total yards and three touchdowns, left the game due to injury during after the third quarter. Tate Forcier came in to throw the ball for two touchdowns, lifting the Wolverines to victory.

Michigan State 31, Minnesota 8

Minnesota’s (1-9, 0-6 Big Ten) losing streak falls to nine after Saturday’s loss against Michi-gan State (9-1, 5-1 Big Ten). The Spartans took a 7-0 lead seven minutes into the first quarter and never looked back. The Golden Gophers were held scoreless until the fourth quarter, when Adam Weber completed a nine-yard pass to MarQueis Gray. The success-ful two-point conversion made the score 24-8. Michigan State

was not done scoring though. Edwin Baker not only led the MSU offense, rushing for 179 yards and three touchdowns of the day.

(at) Ohio 34, Buffalo 17Buffalo (2-7, 1-4 MAC)

dropped its fourth consecu-tive game Thursday, losing 34-17 against Ohio in Athens. Bulls quarterback Alex Zordich completed a 17-yard pass for a touchdown, followed later by six-yard run for a touchdown, but threw two interceptions. The hot streak continues for Ohio (7-3, 5-1 MAC) as its win streak grew to six after Thurs-day’s victory. Quarterback Boo Jackson had another stellar of-fensive performance, account-ing for three touchdowns on 13-of-19 for 175 yards.

(at) Ball State 37, Akron 30 (2OT)

Akron (0-10, 0-6 MAC) re-mains winless after a 37-30 double overtime loss against Ball State Saturday in Muncie, Ind. Late in the fourth quar-ter, Akron quarterback Pat-rick Nicely threw a 17-yard completion for a touchdown to Jeremy LaFrance, tying the game at 23. During overtime, the Zips scored first as Patrick Nicely connected with Jeremy LaFrance once again, for a 22-yard touchdown completion.

The Cardinals (3-7, 2-4 MAC) answered with a touchdown of their own as Keith Wenning completed a 24-yard pass to David Schneider, taking the game to second overtime. Akron failed to score during second overtime, while Keith Wenning completed another pass for a touchdown, giving the Cardinals the win. Akron remains the only team in the MAC without a win this season.

Temple 28 (at) Kent State 10 Kent State (4-5, 3-3 MAC)

took an early 3-0 lead and held Kent State scoreless through-out the first quarter. Temple (8-2, 5-1 Mac) quarterback Mike Geradi gave his team a 7-3 lead with 12 minutes left in the second quarter when he ran the ball nine yards into the end zone. The Owls had no problem finding offense as Mike Geradi continued his tear, throwing two more touchdown passes. Running back Bernard Pierce also scored a touchdown for Temple. The Golden Flashes of-fense struggled mightily, scor-ing no touchdowns. Their only touchdown of the day came when wide receiver Sam Kirk-land returned a blocked punt for a touchdown.

U-M survives double ot; Akron remains winless in MAC

“It makes a big differ-ence,” said head coach Tom Anagnost. “We are a team that has been there before.”

There are currently 15 players on the roster that went to the NCAAs last sea-son.

CMU is the first MAC team to win consecutive regu-lar season and conference tournament championships since Northern Illinois ac-complished it in 1997-98.

The Chippewas (16-4-1) currently have a five-game winning streak. Its last lost came from co-regular sea-son champion Toledo 1-0 on

Oct. 22.Since Anagnost has taken

over the program in 2008, the Chippewas have earned two regular season titles and as many conference tourna-ment championships. Along with those accomplish-ments, he’s directed CMU’s soccer program into a MAC contender. The win Sunday proved just that. It now looks to continue its winning ways in the NCAA tournament.

“It’s one game and out,” Anagnost said. “We’ve been doing that for three games now and it’s a great accom-plishment and hopefully we can continue.”

For the seniors, every game could be their last. Se-nior Shay Mannino believes the run can continue and is

honored to be back to the NCAA Tournament.

“I think we know how to prepare and it de-pends on who we play,” said Mannino. “Just being there is so exciting.”

Sophomore midfielder Ashley Mejilla also said the team can continue its winning ways and make a run in the tourna-ment. Mejilla solidified the championship game against the Broncos with her breakaway goal dur-ing the 89th minute.

“I don’t think we can be any more confident than we are now,” Mejilla said.

to them. They’re like my older brothers.” Staten had a forced fumble in the first quarter after tackling WMU quarterback Alex Carder, leading to a 35-yard field goal from freshman kicker Da-vid Harman and 10-2 lead for the Chippewas. He also sacked Carder in the fourth quarter.

Senior productionIn their final game in the

maroon jersey, seniors Matt Berning and Nick Bellore came through per usual. Berning, who seemed to play with more speed

and a higher sense of urgency, tied for a team-high 12 tackles while Bellore fell just short with 11 tackles of his own.

After the game, Berning ad-mitted the pressure was on.

“You feel like the weight comes off your shoulders be-cause you’re with your back against the wall,” he said. “I told Nick this was probably one of the best nights of my life. It was cold, it snowed, (was) under the lights — it was some stuff out of a book.”

But those two weren’t the only ones who came to play.

Senior defensive back Vince Agnew also had 12 tackles, in-cluding a team-high nine solo tackles. Agnew added a forced

fumble and two break ups while helping limit quarter-back Alex Carder to 272 pass-ing yards between two receiv-ers.

Wide receiver Matt Tor-res had the most productive game of his career, recording 57 yards on three catches. His 22-yard reception during CMU’s second to last drive helped it score a touchdown that brought the team within a possession.

“What can you say about that guy,” Enos said. “That was a huge catch for us. I couldn’t be happier for him.”

Central Michigan Life || Monday, Nov. 8, 2010 || 3B

The first tournament of the 2010 season provided an opportunity for the youth` of the CMU wrestling team to gain some experience.

Volleyball drops final home game

By Nick ConklinStaff Reporter

On a night honoring the ca-reers of seniors Lauren Krup-sky and Lisa Johnson, the Central Michigan volleyball team lost its last home game of the season Saturday against Ball State 3-1.

Despite jumping on visit-ing Ball State (22-4, 12-2 Mid-American Conference) and winning the first set 25-18, the Chippewas would go on to lose three consecutive sets by scores of 26-24, 25-21 and 25-23.

The first set saw strong play from Krupsky and sopho-more Lindsey Dulude, who notched four and three kills respectively. The pair would finish the night with nine kills each. Head coach Erik Olson was pleased by the fast start the Chippewas had in the first

By Justin HicksStaff Reporter

CMU field hockey finished fourth in the Mid-American Conference Friday with a 6-14 record.

Hosting the MAC tourna-ment last weekend, the Chip-pewas won the opening game 2-1 against Missouri State. Sophomore Erin Dye opened the scoring in the 29th minute on a penalty corner shot, her team-leading seventh goal of the season.

Casey Bayliss tied the game up just before the half, but se-nior Pam Seufert took the lead back in the 55th minute, after receiving a pass from fresh-man Bailey McKeon.

“It’s important to at least get to the semis with such a young team,” said head coach Cristy Freese. “I felt good about some of the things we were able to do in the tournament.”

In the team’s second round matchup, Kent State knocked CMU out of the tournament with a 4-2 loss.

Debbie Bell led the way with two goals and an assist for KSU. Freshman Emily Girasole and

senior Pam Seufert each added a tally for CMU on the team’s only two shots of the game.

“Our defensive structure is something we’ve been trying to work on all year and I think today was a good example of that,” said Kent State Coach Kathleen (Schanne) Wiler.

Dye led the offense with 16 points this season, and fresh-men Juliana Makrinos and McKeon each stepped up, add-ing a combined 13 points for the Chippewas.

CMU started the season lacking a starting goaltender, and junior Anastasia Netto jumped into that role, finishing 6-12 and recording a 2.68 goals against average. She made 115 saves in 19 appearances.

SeniorSThe program watched four

seniors play in their last game Friday.

Senior captain Kim Sihota finished with three points this season and 13 over her four years with the team. She scored one of her five career goals this season in a 3-2 Se-nior Day loss against Miami Oct. 30.

“Kim gave her heart and soul to the program and the team and she had a real strong effort,” Freese said.

The team’s other captain, senior Amanda von Leer, was sidelined on and off in her ca-reer due to injury. She played in all 20 games this season, starting in 18 games, contrib-uting a goal and two assists.

Seufert was the leading scorer for CMU during the MAC tournament, scoring twice and adding an assist in 73 minutes. In her career, Pam scored 11 goals and add-ed eight assists in 76 games played.

“She has a torn meniscus and she decided that this is her senior year and she’s go-ing to play for it, and she came through this weekend with some goals,” Freese said.”

The crowd cheered on se-nior Amy Binder in the closing minutes as the field hockey season came to an end. Binder appeared in 30 games at CMU, including 12 in 2010, and she recorded an assist on Sept. 12 against New Hampshire.

Field hockey finishes fourth in MAC

set, but said they need to keep the pressure on during the re-maining sets.

“We were definitely taking them out of system in games one and two,” he said, “but I think we let off the gas a little bit.”

Set two saw the offensive emergence of junior Kaitlyn Schultz, who paced CMU in the set with five kills. Shultz would go on to have a season-high of 16 kills on the match. Although, marking a personal best in the match Schultz said that her success has to be giv-en back to the team that set her up for so many kills.

“I have to just put it all to the team for me doing good indi-vidually,” Schultz said. “You need passing, you need set-ting in order for me to do my job. It’s a big team thing, not really an individual thing,”

Disappointment was again on Olson’s mind following the home loss on Saturday, with a lack of aggressive serv-ing playing a major role in the third and fourth sets.

“I think our mistake was

coming out of the locker room after set three and not serving tough enough,” Olson said.

The third and fourth set saw CMU post six service errors on its to losing to close sets, 25-21 and 25-23. Sophomore Jocelyn VerVelde provided some spark in the last two sets, coming off the bench to finish with two kills and two blocks.

The competitive nature of this match was exemplified by a total of 31 ties and eight lead changes. The back-and-forth nature is something, Schultz said, needs to be managed if the team hopes to finish its schedule off strongly.

“What happens, it’s in the past now,” she said. “All we can do is learn from it and move on to next weekend.”

CMU will look to rebound next weekend when it finish-es the regular season on the road. The Chippewas travel Kalamazoo at 6 p.m. Friday to play Western Michigan and DeKalb, Ill., at 8 p.m. Saturday against Northern Illinois.

Sacred Heart Academy head coach Richard Roberts told his players before Sat-urday’s game at Kelly/Shorts Stadium not to get wrapped up in redemption and play a full 48 minutes.

It appeared to work, as Sa-cred Heart scored early and often, beating defending Di-vision 8 state champion Beal City 37-0 in Mount Pleasant.

SHA scored on passes from sophomore quarter-back Mitch Myler to his old-er brother, senior running back Bennett Myler. The Irish would miss a point-after attempt and have the other one blocked, leaving the score 12-0 after the first quarter.

“Playing Beal City is al-ways tough,” Mitch Myler said. “They beat us in the first game of the year but we knew we would win. We were that confident and we went out and did it.”

Mitch had one of his best games of the season, com-pleting 14 of his 24 pass at-tempts for 236 yards and three touchdowns, while his brother Bennett caught four passes 72 yards and two touchdowns. Senior wide

and slipped a shot past WMU goalkeeper Julia Francy.

“I got a little touch by the defender and just had a break away,” Mejilla said. “I just set it up for myself.”

Anagnost said Mejilla, whose five goals this season puts her second on the team, played her best game of the season.

“She was unbelievable to-day,” he said. “She was the best player on the field.”

Mejilla’s late goal was the only offense for CMU in the second half. The Chippewas took a 2-0 lead into the last 45 minutes, but weren’t able to control the ball, leading to several WMU shots on CMU senior goalkeep-er Shay Mannino.

The Broncos scored their first goal of the game in the 68th minute, slimming CMU’s lead to 2-1.

“They had a free kick and we headed it out, but not far enough,” Mannino said about WMU’s goal. “The girl got the rebound and put it away. It was a great finish.”

Anagnost said his team lost focus in the second half, espe-cially after WMU scored its goal. He said the Broncos gained a lot of momentum and became a more physical team, putting pressure on the Chippewas de-fense to maintain its lead.

“It was chaotic. It was mere chaos,” Anagnost said. “It was an extraordinarily physical game. (WMU) slipped one in and I think our kids lost their composure out there. I know

we can perform better.”Although CMU struggled to

posses the ball for most of the first 20 minutes, the Chippewas dominated the offense in the first half, netting two goals on 11 shots.

With just over 15 minutes remaining in the half, junior forward Chelsi Abbott dribbled around a Bronco defender and served the ball into the box while sophomore forward Lau-ra Twidle leaped in the air and headed the ball past Francy for the game’s first goal.

Twidle’s goal was her eighth of the season, which leads the team, and is the most in MAC play.

Sophomore forward, Charlese McLemore added her third goal of the year with just a few minutes left in the first half, which proved to be the game winner.

The Chippewas will find out who they draw in the first round of the NCAA Tourna-ment at 4:30 p.m. today dur-ing the tournament selection show. The team opens tourna-ment play Friday.

All-MAC honorSSophomore forward Laura

Twidle, senior midfielder Val-erie Prause, junior defender Liesel Toth and sophomore defender Bailey Brandon were all named first team All-MAC honors before the tournament started on Friday.

In addition, freshmen Ni-cole Samuel, Kaely Schlosser and Estee Outcalt were named to the All-MAC third team.

Irish rout Aggies 37-0 in district title game at K/S

receiver Matthew Mills also caught five passes for 64 yards and one touchdown as sophomore running back Nicholas Hire carried the ball 14 times for 107 yards and the final touchdown.

Beal City (8-3) fumbled away a few chances to even up the score, losing the ball on the Irish 47- and 28-yard line. The Irish would make them pay after the second fumble, taking the ball down the field and adding a third touchdown pass, a 9-yarder to Mills, for Myler. A fake kick converting into a two-point conversion put the score at 20-0. The Irish would add a 34 yard field goal by Ju-nior Kicker Kyle Dougherty added a field goal before the half to extend SHA’s lead to 23-0.

“We didn’t come and play our game,” said Beal City head coach Lou Rau. “They wanted it more.”

The second half played out just like the first as Beal City turned the ball over on downs early in the third quarter, allowing Sacred Heart to take the ball right down the field and score on a four-yard run by Bennett Myler.

“I have to give credit to the win to the hard work they put on the field,” Rob-erts said. “What we did in practice is what they did on the field.”

The Irish defense contin-ued to hold on strong, not allowing the Aggies to get anything done on offense. As a result, Beal City was forced to go to the pass, something

they are not accustomed to all season.

Senior defensive end Ryan Grinzinger led the SHA defense with 14 tack-les and a fumble recovery. while junior linebacker Ryan Szymanski had 12 tackles, while senior line-backer Eric Fox added 10 tackles and a fumble re-covery.

“Both sides of the ball — offense and defense — and special teams, we dominated the game.” Roberts said.

Beal City struggled to get anything going of-fensively, tallying up only 193 yards of total offense with two fumbles lost three failed fourth down conversions.

The win marked SHA’s first district title since 2006 and the first time the Aggies have not won the district since 2006. It is also the first time Beal City has been shutout since 2007.

“Sometimes Murphy’s (Law) comes up and bites you, you know,” Rau said. “That’s what happened tonight — everything that could go wrong did.”

Sacred Heart (10-1) will play Mio AuSable (7-4) in the regional champion-ship next weekend.
