Alumni will take over the student radio station, WMHW-FM 91.5, all Homecoming weekend for 48 hours from midnight Friday until midnight Saturday.

Brianne Tucker is an alumna who re-cently graduated. She will be on the air for the 16th annual Alumni Takeover this weekend.

“I’m not one of those people who wishes they were still a college student. I like my life now,” Tucker said. “But I like getting back and experiencing the energy of a college campus that doesn’t really exist anywhere else.”

Tucker graduated with a degree from the school of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts in 2004.

She said she is looking forward to taking part in Homecoming by working with CMU’s radio station and talking to broadcast students during informational sessions on Friday at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in Moore Hall, where students can ask questions about working in the industry.

“We changed the format of the sessions from the panel we had last year to make it more one-on-one with students,” she said.

Audio labs manager for the school of Broadcast and Cinematic Arts, Chad Roberts, said he encourages students to be there because it is their best chance to get advice from people who have worked first-hand in the industry.

“It’s popular. We have a lot of listeners talk about it, and we like it because it gives the alumni a chance to come back and talk about their times at CMU,”

Roberts said. “It’s good for the students to see the alumni that are in the business. It gives students a chance to see that being successful in this industry can be done.”

Alumni usually fill air time by interviewing CMU administrators like President George Ross, the head football coach and heads of academic colleges. Hosts reminisce on air in between play-ing music from when they were at CMU.

“This is only my sixth year here,” Rob-ert said. “I get to find out what things were like at CMU before I arrived, so

I find it interesting and I know they enjoy having that fun sort of feeling like they’re in college again.”

CMU alumni and professor in the college of Broadcast and Cinematic arts Kevin Campbell will host a shift 5 a.m. on Saturday morning.

“It’s a lot of fun. We get together once a year with many of our colleagues in the industry,” Campbell said. “It’s an oppor-tunity to spend time with the students so they can get advice on their careers and build their professional network.”

Campbell said everyone who participates donates money to a scholarship given out in the spring to a new student coming into the broadcast program, either a transfer or freshman.

“It’s something to help them con-tinue on with their education, and we’ve been doing the scholarship for seven years,” Campbell said.

There will also be a live remote broadcast in the Alumni Village that will be part of the radio takeover.

Homecoming events to welcome alumni, engage students

Central Michigan University students show their school spirit during the 2013 Homecoming festivities.

Central Michigan University alumni have the opportunity to attend the free Alumni Village celebration near Rose Ponds from noon-3 p.m. on Saturday before the Homecoming football game.

Alumni can visit with friends, former classmates and professors and enjoy food before the game.

The annual parade will begin in Parking Lot 22 and travel through campus before heading north down Main Street to downtown Mount Pleasant.

The Cardboard Boat Race will also be held near Rose Ponds. Engineering students have worked on building cardboard boats for two weeks, and on Saturday at 1 p.m., they will have a race across the pond.

Other alumni homecoming events include a 50 Year Reunion for people who graduated in 1960-1965, Alumni Coffee and Donuts in Powers Hall and Back on Yard Homecoming 2015, which is presented by National Pan-Hellenic Council and the CMU African American Alumni Chapter.

Invitation to Worship

By Sydney Smith Managing Editor

@SydneyS_mith | [email protected]

After much debate and the pass-ing and failing of several motions, the Mount Pleasant City Commission voted to amend several sections of the city’s zoning ordinance to update student-populated neighborhoods north of campus.

Known as the M-2 district, the redevelopment of the area has been an issue for city government for years. The commission split the issues into two problem areas: A high density of people living in areas north of campus, and the behavior of those individu-als, who are mostly Central Michigan University students.

“We believe this is a much better proposal addressing concerns of the neighborhood and what is working the best right now,” said City Planner Jacob Kain.

Changes to the ordinance include creating a transitional area between M-2 an neighboring districts. A M-2 lot cannot have a common line with any residential-zoned lot. No registered student organization dwelling, primar-ily Greek houses, can have more than 12 occupants.

Those living in the transitional area may have no more than four occu-pants. No properties in the new zone will be able to be combined for the purpose of constructing a multi-family home, which are primarily occupied by students.

Residents and commissioners voiced their opinions on the changes at the city commissions Sept. 28 meeting.

Public commentThe city commission received a

number of email communications from residents who are not students, sup-porting the proposed changes to M-2.

One resident, however, vehemently opposed the changes. University Street resident Michael Lents questioned why the occupancy was set at four occupants, insinuating that the city had done no research to arrive at this “magic number.”

Lents said he is opposed to M-2 changes as they stand, because they

fail to address the problem of student behavior. He said after this year’s Wel-come Weekend, he saw vandalism and trash in the neighborhood.

“The city spent more money on Welcome Weekend than we did on the Dickens Christmas Festival,” Lents said.

Other residents commented on the high density of the area, but also said there were too many apartments lining the streets with no one to fill them. Franklin Street resident Mark Marshall said the reason why his family moved to the area was that they could see the

changes the city was working to make. Marshall said now, however, he is

worried about the value of his home.“It changes the market when rentals

and parking lots go up,” he said. “If less students come to CMU, there will be less people to take over the rentals. It’s a more community-oriented neighbor-hood when there’s permanent residents than the three or four year residents that we have now.”

University Street Resident Sam Raisanen encouraged the commission to adopt the “most stringent policies” in

the M-2 area because of the behavior he and his family have seen there.

“When we’ve tried to ask students to quiet down, we’ve been greeted with foul language,” he said. “Unfortunately the amount of students who go to CMU to party is increasing. (The transitional zone) buffers current residents from ruckus par-ties students have come to enjoy.”

One student, Cheboygan junior Ian Elliot, spoke at the meeting on behalf of Student Government Association. Out of more than 20,000 undergraduate students at CMU, 686 voted in last year’s election. Elliot will serve as the liaison between the city and the student body, he said.

“I think the density and behavior problem is split more 90/10 than 50/50, with more on behavior,” Elliot said.

commissioner commentAfter public comment, commission-

ers struggled to come to an agreement on how to move forward.

Commissioner Matthew Sous said he didn’t want to rush through the decision.

“It’s a mix of both zoning and behavior,” Sous said before the original changes were passed. “I want to make some tweaks, and we can get it passed by the end of the year. I don’t want to cut the dialogue short.”

Commissioner Mike Verleger said student behavior was more of the prob-lem, and he suggested the city and law enforcement “hammer down” on areas north of campus.

“We aren’t doing nearly enough to deter student behavior,” he said. “Welcome Weekend stories — you couldn’t write them. I’m more prone to drop the hammer down there because I’m sick of it.”

Football players are taught to play for the name on the front of their jersey, but a family of four Chippewas also takes pride in the name on their back.

The Odykirk family has seen four players step on the gridiron for Central Michigan in a span of three generations. The football family includes former player and defensive coach Bill; his son Dan, a former wide receiver; and Bill’s grandsons Connor, who played tight end, and Colton, a junior defensive back.

Starting a LegacyCMU is “the citadel of the Odykirk family.”In 1958, Bill served as the Chippewa kicker and defensive back

under Head Coach Bill Kelly. A former Michigan State baseball player, Bill arrived at CMU after serving in the military and helped coach the CMU defense later on in his career. He also became a member of the university’s Board of Trustees.

“It was the best decision I’ve ever made,” Bill said on coming to CMU. “I’ve been a Chippewa ever since.”

Being around the culture of CMU football was important to his son Dan, who pretended he was a football player on the playground along with his childhood friends. Chippewa football became a tradition for Bill and Dan, as Dan would grow up watching his father coach at the old football stadium near Finch Fieldhouse.

On Saturdays, Dan would watch his father coach and then the Odykirk family would go out for pizza after the game. It became a family tradition.

After Bill left coaching, he started working in the development office at the university in 1970 and sought the funds to build what is now Kelly/Shorts Stadium, the field where his son and grandchildren would play.

Bill had three sons on the field — his oldest, Craig, was a cheer-leader, Tim was in the marching band and Dan was padded up. He is equally proud of all of their contributions.

“Living in a university town has a tremendous advantage to raising a family,” Bill said. “Certainly, it enriched their total lives. I benefitted from their enrichment by watching them participate at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. It was very rewarding.”

Dan was an All-Conference swingback at Mount Pleasant High School under Oiler Head Coach Hilt Foster. He drew the attention of then-CMU Head Coach Herb Deromedi and continued the family tradition in the mid-1980s.

During his time at CMU, Dan played wide receiver under current CMU wide receivers coach Mose Rison. Dan said his most memorable

game was a 21-point, fourth-quarter comeback to beat Western Michi-gan. The Chippewas never had a losing record during his tenure.

Dan and then-CMU wide receiver and current Head Coach John Bonamego were roommates. The two have kept in touch for the past 25 years and Dan is happy his former teammate and roommate can coach his son, Colton.

“John and I are very close friends,” Dan said. “For him to be able to come back here when one of my sons is on the team is neat for him and for myself.”

The travelling and team bonding were fun for Dan, but it was the love and support from Bill at his games that made everything special.

“He was a big supporter,” Dan said. “It was great to have someone who was always there. I try to do that as much as I can for my kids too. It’s a lot of fun as a parent.”

continuing a traditionConnor was a four-sport athlete at Mount Pleasant High School, but

football was his “first love.” The older of the brothers, Connor, received interest to walk on at Michigan State and Michigan but he only had one choice in mind — to play tight end at Central Michigan and “carry the tradition.”

“When it came down to it, I had to stick with the maroon and gold,” Connor said. “I never had second thoughts and never looked back. Being around the atmosphere was something I wanted to do when I got to that age (since I was young). Deep down we’ve always been a family that bleeds maroon and gold.”

During Connor’s senior year of high school in 2009, his mother, Lora, suffered a stroke. While difficult for the family at the time, Dan said they have always used their love of the game to overcome hardships.

“Football definitely teaches you that you’re going to get knocked down,” Dan said. “Football’s not fair, life’s not fair, but how you deal with it is what Herb Deromedi taught me and is what John Bonamego will teach Colton.”

It was a proud moment for Dan when Connor padded up in CMU gear. He offered his son the same advice his father told him.

“I remember telling him to take a second to just look around and see all the people who care about football,” Dan said. “Just enjoy the moment that you’re playing for the student body and you’re playing for CMU and the amount of work it took to get there.”

Connor would make an impact by the end of his career. He had a touchdown grab in a 26-23 win at Ohio in 2013 and finished his career with 26 catches for 290 yards and four touchdowns. He also made the Mid-American Conference All-Academic team his senior season.

Connor remembers his senior day. He was escorted by two influen-tial Chippewas — Bill and Dan.

“That was one of the first times we were ever together on the field for a big event,” Connor said. “It brought out a lot of emotion for all three of us.

Bill also remembers that day in 2013. “It brings tears to my eyes,” Bill said. “It was a feeling of unbelievable

pride and happiness, but at the same time it was a feeling of sadness because it was the last time for him.”

The tradition continued when Colton joined his brother at CMU. Colton was an All-Conference player at Mount Pleasant and led his team to three consecutive undefeated regular seasons.

“Growing up and knowing the traditions, I fell in love with the university and especially the CMU football program at a young age,”

File Photo | Jeff SmithOiler’s junior wide receiver Colton Odykirk is tackled by East Grand Rapids senior defensive back Sam Nystrom during the first half at Top Taggart Field in Big Rapids on Nov. 20, 2010.

Colton said. “Growing up and watching those guys play, it was always a goal of mine to play at CMU.”

Connor said it was a proud moment for him when Colton joined the Chippewas. The two never played together in high school and they relished the opportunity to play together at the next level.

Colton’s 2015 season has been cut short due to a non-sports related medical condition. But no matter how his career ends on the field, he’s looking forward to the moment his grandpa, dad and brother walk with him next year on Senior Day at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, but he also hopes his mother attends as well.

“She’s the best person I know,” Colton said. “She’s so amazing.”

FamiLy tieS CMU is a part of the Odykirk family’s lives. Dan works as a manager in the Student Service Court. His wife,

Lora, was a captain and coach of the Chippettes. Connor works at a commercial insurance agency in Sterling Heights, but comes to see his brother play on weekends as much as he can. Kate, who is a cousin of Connor and Colton, is on the CMU cheer team.

Bill, 81, still resides in Mount Pleasant and attends as many games — home and away — as possible.

“You can bet I’ll be there,” he said. “It is my family. It ties our family together. We’re Chippewas.”

Colton said his family, particularly his father and grandfather, have helped him become the person he is today.

“I really look up to those two,” Colton said. “They’re amazing. With a family that’s behind you, anything is possible.”

CMU football is something he, his grandpa, his father and his brother will never forget, Connor said.

“CMU football to the Odykirks is a good way to define our family,” Connor said. “The Odykirks have bled maroon and gold since day one.

“We are CMU. It’s everything to us.” File Photo | Central Michigan Life

Forever maroon and gold

“Despite running in similar circles through our undergraduate (years), we never really knew each other until Leadership Safari 2012. We were both training as safari guides and had the opportunity to get to know each other. Shortly after Safari we were both recruited to be a part of the Homecoming Committee and planned all of the events. We became friends and continued our friendship throughout that fall. He proposed to me in front of the CMU seal on March 28, 2014. We owe our relationship to being involved at CMU.”

-Sara Krajnik, 2012 alumna

“Twenty-one years ago, at a Chip Village ‘social gathering,’ as we like to tell our kids, I met the woman of my dreams. CMU opened so many doors and created so many memories, but the greatest by far was the chance of meeting my amazing wife Holly. Two wonderful children, more than 17 years of marriage, hundreds of football games and countless memories later, I can tell you we truly bleed maroon and gold. See you Saturday.”

-Brock Gutierrez, 1996 alumnus

“My wife, Eileen Gordon, and I met while living on the fourth floor of Wheeler Hall during our freshman year. We lived diagonal from each other. I met her while she was beating everyone in Mario on Welcome Weekend. It took a few years of being friends and more than a year pursuing her, but we finally started dating our senior year in 2009, and got married in November 2014. Three of my four groomsmen were also friends I met at CMU.”

-Josh Gordon, 2009 alumnus

“My husband and I met at CMU in 1966 when I slipped on ice and fell. He came to my rescue and helped me up off the ground. Shortly after that we saw each other up in Clare eating dinner with our parents. From there, my best friend became our go between until we started seeing each other on a regular basis. We started dating, but he went into the Army and spent a year in Vietnam. We married on Oct. 26, 1968. We have been married for 47 years.”

-Kathy VanSickler, 1968 alumna

“I remember the day I met my wife like (it was) yesterday. On May 24, 2006, while my roommate and I were watching the American Idol finale at Village of Bluegrass clubhouse, I saw her for the first time. When Anne Marie Silvey (Hartman) walked through those doors, she caught my eye immediately. She was carrying in a pool cue, as one of her favorite pastimes is playing pool, and after a while I was able to gather up the guts to ask her to a game of pool. A few games later and the rest is history. We were married on July 31, 2010.”

This weekend, make sure you stay attentive when partying with friends. Intervene when it becomes necessary to avert a dangerous situation. Never leave anyone behind.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism reports that 1,825 college students die and 599,000 are injured each year due to “alcohol-related unintentional injuries.”

Drinking-related accidents are an unfortunate reality that some college stu-dents will face. The problem is there have been people who suffered trauma and even died while others stood around and did nothing.

Taking care of your fellow Chippewas is as simple as calling to make sure a friend has a ride home or keeping an eye out for someone who shows signs of distress or inebriation. If you see a student stumbling home alone, take the time to call them a cab or help them get home safely.

Since 2012, Michigan law has encouraged students to take responsibility for keeping each other safe. In emergency situations minors are granted amnesty from legal punishment if they call medical services after consum-ing alcohol. This eliminates the excuse that something bad was allowed to happen because students feared criminal charges stemming from the possession of alcohol.

Students are exempt if they call for medical help for a friend or them-selves, or accompany a friend to seek medical help.

Staying safe from legal trouble should never take priority over the safety of someone’s person life. If there is a situation requiring medical attention, know that the Mount Pleasant law enforcement has followed this law for years.

Underage drinking is going to happen this weekend. That is also a reality of college life and of the tailgating culture of Homecoming Weekend. We urge alumni not to encourage or facilitate drinking with minors.

Chippewas

School spirit on campus will be high this weekend. Here are some common tips to keep your Homecoming safe and fun.n Drink water or soft drinks be-tween alcoholic drinks to dilute the alcohol.n Pace yourself. Slow down and take small sips, not big gulps.

n Eat something before or during drinking. Food makes the body absorb alcohol more slowly.n Know how to refuse a drink. You don’t have to take one just because it’s offered or take part in rounds you don’t want. Don’t pressure others into drinking.n Learn the strengths of your

drinks so you can stick to your own limits, bearing in mind the safe limits are 2-3 units per day for women and 3-4 units per day for men.n Plan how you’re going to get home before your night out. Take a cab or ask a sober driver to collect you.

TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER


I’m too young to remember Joe McCarthy, but most of our city of-ficials are not.

For those who don’t know McCar-thy, he was a U.S. senator responsible for a wave of anxiety and persecu-tion of American citizens believed to be Communist sympathizers.

Through fear, McCarthy coaxed the government, the FBI and other public figures into a crusade against immaterial agitators who were in no way associated with Communist subversion.

On Monday, Mount Pleasant resi-dents reminded me of McCarthy.

This week, Mount Pleasant’s City Commission passed a resolution to overhaul zoning ordinances in the

M2 district, an area north of Central Michigan University’s campus made up of mostly student housing.

By creating a buffer zone between students and residents, commission-ers hope to curb student behavior and restore a delicate balance of peace in residential areas.

As a 27-year-old student reporter covering city government, I’m usu-ally inclined to side with residents than the typically rowdy denizens

of Main Street. I do not, however, agree with city’s haphazard decision to push the buffer zone concept out of fear.

Here’s why, and it has nothing to do with police overreach or students’ rights.

Essentially, the idea of a buffer zone is a genius fix for ordinance issues, but it’s a concept board mem-bers have been kicking around for a good long while. The buffer zone conversation started in the Plan-ning Commission, and has under-gone several informal amendments regarding how it could work.

Each time they revisit the idea, planning commissioners inevitably shelf the discussion on account of

its complications. It is the kind of temperance we should expect from quality elected officials.

City commissioners showed no such tact when they implemented the zone without the necessary consider-ation. At Monday’s meeting, at least two commissioners made motions to postpone a vote for further discus-sion. Those motions were shot down.

Why? Fear. Residents say the city no longer

feels like their home; that they are no longer safe in their own streets from vandalism, trash and scary col-lege students. The truth is: this city belongs to all of us, and not every student house is to blame.

I am in no way condoning the

actions of poorly behaved students, but history has shown that policies, committees or mobs forged from fear end with some degree of trag-edy.

It’s the same mentality that started McCarthyism and the second Red Scare. As commissioners move forward, they must consider the con-sequences of ramming a buffer zone down out throats.

They must examine the conse-quences of police overreach and, most of all, the dangers of succumb-ing to public outrage.

I’m too young to remember Joe McCarthy, but I hope commissioners remember what happens when terror clouds judgement.

With two Mid-American Confer-ence matches behind them, Central Michigan’s soccer team has a prime opportunity to go on a run and gain some ground this weekend.

Opening MAC play with a 1-0 loss to WMU and a 2-0 victory over Northern Illinois on the road, the Chippewas return home to play in their brand new stadium for just the second time this season.

Fortunately for CMU, they will not have to worry about weekend travels, as they have for a good portion of the season. The team’s next four matches will all be at the new CMU soccer/lacrosse stadium.

It will be the Chippewas’ longest homestand of the season, which will provide them with a quality chance at throwing their hat in the ring of MAC contenders in front of home supporters.

If history is any indication, the best is yet to come for Head Coach Peter McGahey and his staff. Although over one-third of the season has come and gone and his team’s record is 2-6-1,

there are potential positives on the horizon, especially in the upcoming weeks.

The month of October has been the most successful one for CMU soccer in recent history. Entering the final stages of the 2014 regular season, the Chippewas put together a streak of quality matches by going 4-2-1 in their final seven matches.

Included in those seven matches was a three-game winning streak, all of which were shutouts.

It’s not going to be an easy task, keeping in mind the Chippewas’ first opponent of the weekend is the defending 2014 MAC Tournament champion Miami RedHawks, who have a 6-3 record in 2015.

After Miami is Bowling Green, who owns a 6-2-2 record and sit behind

WMU in second place in the MAC West Division.

Miami currently sits atop the MAC East.

The preliminary step to a run is in place after last Sunday’s shutout over NIU. Beating the Huskies put an end to CMU’s three-game losing streak as well as its three-game goalless drought.

At the tail end of the losing streak, McGahey mentioned how players can tend to stress and hold onto the ball for longer than necessary when there hasn’t been many goals scored.

Now the key is to build off of what they did right and emulate it for the remainder of the year. Easier said than done, I know, but this team has the right tools in order to make it happen.

A lot can happen in a short amount of time and it can even be enough to turn CMU’s season around. Who knows, maybe we will look back at this point in the season and recognize it as a turning point.

Only time will tell.

Tribal police seize 102 planTs, 14 pounds of marijuana

Three men were arraigned in isa-bella County on Sept. 28 in connec-tion to a marijuana grow operation.

The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Police Department arrested John Bendele, 43, raymond lynn, 20, and Joseph Terrell, 19 on Sept. 27. Upon serving a search warrant, officers found an “unusually high” number of marijuana plants at the location in Chippewa Township.

approximately 14 pounds of mari-juana and several guns were found at the operation. Officers also seized 102 marijuana plants. Police were alerted to the possible grow opera-

tion on Sept. 27.“it is our intention to seek out

and expose any individual or group conducting illegal drug operations within our reservation and surround-ing lands,” said Tribal Chief Steve Pego in a press release. “We will seek prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. i am proud that we have such a diligent police department and we can count on them to ensure we meet this War on Drugs head on.”

The race for the Mid-American Conference title begins Saturday.

When the Chippewas (1-3) host Northern Illinois (2-2) at 3 p.m. Both teams’ conference opener serves as an opportu-nity to claim an early spot atop the MAC West Division standings.

There will be plenty of pageantry in Mount Pleasant leading up to the game, in which first-year head coach and CMU alumnus John Bonamego and his team will attempt to claim their second win of 2015.

“My Homecoming was Feb. 9 (the date of his hire),” Bonamego said. “I’ve said it from the beginning, this is more than a job to me. This is highly personal.”

The Chippewas’ lone win this season came during their last home game vs. Monmouth before back-to-back losses at Syracuse and Michigan State, respectively.

CMU aims to start the conference schedule off with a victory for the first time since it defeated Akron 48-21 in 2009. The last time CMU and NIU played, the Chippewas handed the Huskies their first home loss in 29 games.

A year earlier, 2013 Heisman Trophy candidate Jordan Lynch spoiled CMU’s Homecoming celebration with a 38-17 defeat of the Chippewas.

Bonamego said he and his staff have been keeping a “business as usual” mentality consistent ahead of the Chippewas’ 2015 MAC opener.

“The revenge factor for NIU will be high,” Bonamego said. “It’s a chance for us to get off to a fast start, which we need to do in this conference.”

Central Michigan owns a 56-31-1 record all-time in Homecom-

ing games, and are 5-5 versus Northern Illinois on Homecoming. Saturday’s game will draw support from CMU alumni around

the state and country.“It’s one of the things personally I’ve put a great deal of empha-

sis on because we have a lot of tradition here. It’s something to be proud of,” Bonamego said. “To wear that uniform and play in the stadium is very special. The tradition has to be upheld. It’s honored by the preparation and the effort you put forward.”

Looking to spoil this year’s maroon and gold party, NIU has yet to establish a sustained rushing attack — a point of advantage for CMU’s defense, which has not allowed any runner to gain more than 100 yards in a single game this season.

The Huskies have a history of producing versatile and accu-rate quarterbacks, including this year’s senior starter Drew Hare.

The addition of a state-of-the-art indoor baseball training facility to Theunissen Stadium became a reality thanks to a $500,000 anony-mous donation.

The Performance Develop-ment Center, potentially a 7,000 to 7,500 square-foot, all-turf complex will be built next to the team’s clubhouse.

The donation is the largest monetary commitment in the program’s history and one of the largest in athletic depart-ment history.

The donor additionally pledged another $500,000 to match other donations to the training facility dollar for dollar.

Donors will have until June 1, 2016 to meet the $500,000 threshold.

There is no timeline yet for the project’s completion, but Head Baseball Coach Steve Jaksa said it depends on where the university prioritizes getting the project done.

“We’ve already had a feasibil-ity study done, we’ve had some preliminary drawings. Now this

is going to be a real-life design phase,” he said. “Now we can go out and get actual designs and get bids on designs and put a spade in the ground and go to work.”

The new facility will also be helpful in recruiting.

Left-handed pitching prospect Sam Goodman visited the Chip-pewas’ Skill Day practice Monday. The Minnesota native said it’s appealing to see a university and fan base invest in its team.

“It’s good to know (CMU) is going in the right direction,” Goodman said. “Giving players a place to work out, train and hit is big time. When you’re playing 12 months a year, it makes a big difference.”

Jaksa said the new facility would not only help with recruiting and player development, but put the program’s facilities at an elite level.

“Right now, we are already in the position where not many (recruits) say no about coming to visit us,” he said. “There’s not many facilities that have the things we have, where you have a clubhouse attached to your third-base dugout. Now, we are looking to enhance what we already have.”

Jaksa said the team has great

practices during their scheduled two-and-a-half hour practice time at the Indoor Athletic Complex, but that’s where the practice ends.

“The limiting thing is more the after-practice stuff,” he said. “A guy (can) come back after dinner or hit for 20 extra minutes to work. Maybe he watched his video tape and he wants to work on something, now he can do it.”

One player who may be around once the new facil-ity is completed is sophomore infielder Zach McKinstry.

“Even when it’s raining, snowing, we can go in there and have our own cages,” McKinstry said. “We’ll be able to field balls, pitchers will be able to throw. When (we) don’t have any homework or study-ing, (we can) hit.”

Director of Athletics Dave Heeke said the gift is a “differ-ence maker” for the program in a press release Monday.

“To have a donor share in our championship vision and invest in a manner that will make it a reality is tremendously reward-ing,” he said. “I am ecstatic for our student-athletes (and) grate-ful for the generosity shown.”

For the third year in a row, the Central

Michigan-Northern Illinois matchup will be a Homecoming game.

The Huskies were No. 23 in the country when they came to play CMU at Kelly/Shorts Stadium for Homecoming in 2013. Despite 272 yards and two scores from current junior quarterback Cooper Rush, the Huskies would win 38-17.

CMU lead 14-7 after the first quarter and the game was tied 14-14 at halftime, but CMU couldn’t earn its first win at home against a ranked opponent in program history.

A year later, the Chippewas would prevail, ruining NIU’s Homecoming and 29-game home winning streak by beating the Huskies 34-17.

Running back and current Seattle Seahawk Thomas Rawls had 40 carries for 270 yards and two touchdowns in the game.

CMU is 6-5 all time against NIU in Chip-pewa Homecoming games, the first coming in a 1946 58-7 victory after a three-year hiatus from Homecoming games during World War II.

CMU Athletics selects the Homecoming matchup, although it is a coincidence that it has been against NIU in two of the past three years.

Homecoming is usually scheduled early in the conference schedule, however it is espe-cially early this year. It will be the third-earliest Homecoming has occurred, dating back to the first Homecoming Nov. 22, 1924.

The only two that have been played earlier in the season were Sept. 26, 1998 against Kent State and Sept. 29, 2007 against NIU—both be-ing Chippewa victories.

Northern Illinois becoming Homecoming mainstay

continued from 17

Through four games, Hare has thrown for 879 yards and six touchdowns. He and the Huskies put a scare into No. 1 Ohio State before falling in Columbus during Week 3.

Defensively, senior Huskie linebacker Boomer Mays is on track to lead the MAC in tackles. He has recorded 31 tackles this season, two of which for a loss. Mays will be matched up in pass cover-age against CMU junior quarterback Cooper Rush’s biggest weapon so far this season, senior tight end Ben McCord.

“We’re going to match their intensity,” Rush

said. “They’re very intense on defense. They have some veteran guys.”

Rush, meanwhile, is off to one of the best starts of any CMU quarterback in history. The Chip-pewas’ signal caller and team captain has thrown for 1,268 yards, on pace for the most passing yards in a season in program history, and has completed 70 percent of his passes.

He ranks second nationally in completions and is seventh in passing yardage. Yet, Rush remains unimpressed with those figures.

“It sucks that we’re 1-3,” Rush said. “I’d like to have the wins to go with (those numbers). NIU knows how to win. They’ve been doing it for a few years. They’ve earned that and we need to take it from them.”

Defense will be key for Central Michigan’s volleyball squad heading into its pair of matches this week.

Three of the top outside hitters in the Mid-American Conference take on a Chippewas’ defense that is ranked in the lower half of the conference.

The Chippewas travel to in-state rival Eastern Michigan (8-7, 0-2 MAC) at 7 p.m. Thursday, and return home for a showdown with Kent State (7-7, 1-1 MAC) at 8 p.m. Saturday at McGuirk Arena.

CMU ranks eighth out of 12 teams in opponent hitting percent-age, possibly leaving the door open for offensive opportunities for EMU and KSU.

The Eagles offensive push will come from senior outside hitter Stacey Perinar, who is second in the conference in total kills with 208. CMU is familiar with Perinar, as she tallied 29 kills in the two matches against the Chippewas last season.

“Eastern came out of the early season with a decent RPI,” said Head Coach Erik Olson. “They look pretty good on film, and they return all of their hitters.”

Although its offense is highly

ranked, Eastern Michigan limps into their matchup with CMU after drop-ping its first two conference matches last week.

The Chippewas split their matches with EMU last season, with each team winning at home.

Olson said playing in Ypsilanti will present a different challenge for the Chippewas than last weekend’s raucous Northern Illinois fanbase.

“Playing in Eastern’s (gym), it’s an interesting venue,” he said. “Not very many people are there, so it’s quiet. You really have to build your own energy and bring that to the table.”

CMU’s offensive play will be key as the Eagles defense is ranked sec-ond in the conference in both digs and opponent hitting percentage.

Leading EMU’s defense is Co-rynne Smith, who Olson said was one of the top libero’s in the MAC. Smith ranks second in the confer-

ence in digs with 5.04 per set. “They return most of their hit-

ters, and a very good libero,” he said. “I think she’s number one or number two maybe in the conference.”

Kent State split its first two MAC games last week and will bring a pair of talented outside hitters to Mount Pleasant.

Kent State defeated CMU in five sets during their lone match in 2014.

“It’s a different team for them, and a different team for us,” Olson said. “But I’m sure excited to play them.”

The Golden Flashes’ tandem of Kelsey Bittinger and Kelly Hutchin-son provides a defensive challenge for CMU.

Bittinger is ranked first in MAC in total kills with 212, and Hutchinson sits at fifth in kills per set with 3.46.

“Their outside hitters have done some good things,” Olson said. “Each week I see Player of the Week nominees. They have definitely put up some good numbers in the past few weeks.”

CMU’s sophomore outside hitter Jessica Meichtry said the Chippewas are preparing for each opponent the same no matter the name.

“For any matchup, we’re just fo-cusing on our side of the court,” said Meichtry. “Doesn’t really matter who we’re playing, we don’t really think about the opponents.”

Pair of strong offenses to challenge volleyball

Each week I see Player of the Week nominees. They have definitely put up some good

numbers in the past few weeks.

On Feb. 17, for the first time in school history, Cen-tral Michigan will field a Division I lacrosse team.

CMU Athletics released the team’s schedule Tuesday. The first game will be Feb. 17 in Ann Arbor against Michigan.

The first home game — at the new soccer and la-crosse complex — is March 11 against Delaware State.

The Chippewas will compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference, instead of the Mid-American Conference, joining Delaware State as conference newcomers.

“I think the Atlantic Sun is a great fit for us in where we’re at,” Head Lacrosse Coach Sara Tisdale said in a press release Tuesday. “Obviously we’re aiming for that top spot and hoping to get into the NCAA Tournament.”

The Chippewas will host a scrimmage 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 18 against Grand Valley State and 3 p.m. against Findlay.

The difference will be the of-fenses, which has been stronger on the CMU side in terms of yards, but not yet in the scoring department. I think CMU will find a way to consistently put the ball in the end zone Satur-day and edge out the Huskies in a back-and-forth thriller.

WEEK 4 STAFF PREDICTIONS

CMU NIU

This year’s NIU team isn’t superior to other MAC West hopefuls like it has been in the past. I’m aware the Huskies only lost to No. 1 Ohio State by a touchdown, but OSU looked pretty shaky in that game and CMU is due for a payoff. Chalk this up as CMU’s early-season signature win.

Last season, CMU spoiled the Hus-kies Homecoming, and this season NIU is looking to return the favor. Northern Illinois has been the team to beat for some time now, but CMU Head Coach John Bonamego has the Chippewas playing inspired. Although the running game still needs work, this will be the week CMU turns the corner with Coo-per Rush leading the way.

Greg WickliffeStaff Reporter

A win at Kelly/Shorts Stadium this year would not shock as many fans as last year’s upset did. It would not be surprising to see this game’s winner emerge during last couple of possessions.

Joe JuddStaff Reporter

CMU NIU

28 24

CMU still lacks production from its running game. NIU is 2-2, but its two losses were against No. 1 Ohio State by a touchdown and Boston College by a field goal. I’ll push the Huskies record to 3-2. The Chippe-was will come up short for the third consecutive game.

HOROSCOPEAries: March 21 - April 19. You’re torn between declaring your love and voicing your hatred. The sun is confusing you. You’re not sure if the person you adore is right for you, or if you need to stage a major confrontation. It’s best to seek a happy medium.TAurus: April 20 - May 20. Relationships have been on the back burner for a while, but as Venus moves into a friendly sign, you’ll feel more passionate than you have in a while. You’ll look up that former flame. Or you’ll flirt your socks off at a social event.Gemini: May 21 - June 21. The sun is sending some mixed signals. Part of you feels positive about your current relationship. Another aspect of you is wondering if you and your honey are too incompatible to be in a long-term romance. Be honest with yourself.CAnCer: June 22 - July 22. The first part of the week could be confusing, but you’ll feel better after Mercury goes direct on Friday. Don’t make any sudden moves because you could have mixed feelings about family, friends and lovers for a while.

Leo: July 23 - Aug. 22. You could enjoy positive results due to kind actions in the past. If you did a good deed for someone, that person could resurface and do something nice. Or helpful vibes you once put out could return to you a hundredfold. The moon has you reaping some good karma.VirGo: Aug. 23 - Sept. 22. Venus will be in your sign for a while, and this will create a fun feeling in your romantic life. If you’re single, you’ll enjoy dating different people and hanging out with friends. If you’re partnered, you’ll feel a stronger sense of stability with your honey.LibrA: Sept. 23 - Oct. 23. The sun is filling you with a manic and restless energy. You’re eager to put things right in your personal and professional life, but others aren’t really listening to you. You’ll need to be super assertive to get things done, but also try to be loving and cheerful.sCorpio: Oct. 24 - Nov. 2. You’ve been in giving mode for a long time, and others have been draining your energy too much. Now Jupiter is urging you to put yourself first. Focus on increasing your health, wealth and overall vitality, and avoid vampire types.

sAGiTTArius: Nov. 22 - Dec. 21. You could encounter some unusual people as Saturn introduces experimental vibes. Maybe you’ll be attracted to someone who is your complete opposite. Or you could become involved with a cause that you didn’t know anything about, but now you’re hooked.CApriCorn: Dec. 22 - Jan.19. As Venus moves into a friendly sign, you could find yourself falling in love. Pay attention to any gorgeous strangers who cross your path. If you’re in a relationship, focus on being more attentive and playful with your current sweetheart.AquArius: Jan. 20 - Feb. 18. You’re feeling a little grumpy as a moon opposition reminds you of all of your romantic misadventures. Look at it this way. At least you’ve lived a full life and have had interesting experiences. Things will only get better for you over the next few months.pisCes: Feb. 19 - March 20. It’s important not to jump to any conclusions for a few weeks. Love planet Venus will be opposite your sign, and this could throw your judgment off. Don’t assume your partner is being disloyal just because he or she has been working late.
