After almost two years of planning, construction began on a Visual Merchandising Lab in Wightman Hall during the summer.

Construction for the lab was budgeted at $425,000, which included renovations and the addition of technology and furnishings. The space is not finished yet, but is expected to be completed within the next few weeks, said Megan Goodwin, Chairwoman of The Department of Human Environmental Studies.

“We have two classes scheduled in the Visual Mer-chandising Lab, but that will likely increase as faculty have a chance to work in the space, review coursework and develop new courses to make use of the capabili-ties of the space,” Goodwin said.

Michael Mamp, professor in the Fashion Merchan-dising and Design program, played a crucial role in renovation.

“It began with a conversation with the dean of our college as I was thinking about coming to the university,” Mamp said. “I thought if I ever came here as professor, I felt there would really be an opportunity for us to be a leader in merchandising, to update our facility, and to offer students the opportunity to put the theory of merchandising into practice.”

Mamp said overall there has been positive feedback from students.

“It will really benefit every single student in our program,” said Portage junior Zachary Stoner.

Grand Rapids junior Shardae Jefferson said the lab would offer a perspective of what her future job might be like.

“It gives more of a feel of what it would be like to work as an employee in visual merchandising as op-posed to feeling like a student,” she said.

Efforts behind the renovation started in December of 2013.

“The students are extremely excited about the lab,” Mamp said. “I’ve taught there a couple times so far this semester and I think these are the types of spaces that rethink the way we teach.”

Mamp said beginning visual merchandising cours-es will be among the first to use the labs. “To start, we’ll be teaching our beginning visual merchandising course, which is FMD 356,” Mamp said. “I also utilize the space to meet with my students who are in my 3D printing and fashion course, which is another exciting development in our program. We have acquired 25 3D printers from Makerbot.”

An apparel presentation technology course will also be taught in the lab, Mamp said. The space will be used to place products as if they are in a store, where they will also be photographed before being put into a merchandising directive document, he said.

Detroit senior Ashley Robinson said she thought the new lab would make people aware of how fashion is important in today’s society.

“I’ve taken a peek in there and it looks pretty cool,” Robinson said. “I think the lab has made Wightman feel more like a home for the fashion students; more comfortable and at ease.”

She said the investment was valuable in creating more opportunities for students.

“As long as the money is being used for something students will gain experience and knowledge from, I think it’s worthwhile. I think seeing the lab could in-fluence a student’s decision to study fashion at CMU.”

Mamp said the lab would help people understand what it means to study fashion merchandising.

“Students and their parents come to visit and maybe they’re interested in pursuing merchandising,” Mamp said. “Parents ask, ‘Well, what does fashion merchandising mean?’ This lab is an opportunity to show a physical example of what they could expect for their son or daughter to be doing in the classroom.”

The Veterans Resource Center at Central Michigan University started off the 2015 school year under new command.

The VRC serves veterans, active mili-tary and spouses or dependents of active military and veterans. Services provided include creating social networks, transi-tioning from active duty to student life and assisting with benefits at CMU.

U.S. Army 1st Sgt. Duane Kleinhardt assumed the position of Veterans Resource Center Director last week. Kleinhardt has been deployed twice, first to Guantanamo Bay in 2004 and then to Kuwait and Iraq in 2010.

“The only thing right off the bat that we want to change is to get more student veterans at CMU and involved in Student

Veterans of America,” Kleinhardt said.Steve Rellinger, former director for the

VRC, said he has full confidence in Klein-hardt’s ability to progress the center.

“The minute the (veterans) walk in that office, they are going to meet another vet-eran,” Rellinger said. “That speaks volumes

to their comfort with that environment. Here is somebody who has been there, done that, and gets it.”

Nick Badgero, a senior who served four active years in the Marines, is the peer ad-viser lead for the Peer Advisors for Veteran Education program.

Badgero said he would like to see several changes made to the VRC which include developing a better system to reach female veterans, updating their website and remodel-ing the VRC office or moving to a larger one.

“The VRC has three chairs and is about seven and a half feet at its widest point in the room,” Badgero said. “When more then four veterans come in, or one whole fam-ily, we usually have no space for them.”

The VRC is located in Warriner Hall, room 114. Their hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and also by appointment.

Mount Pleasant residents, city government become more

concerned with student behavior

Nuisance neighborhood

(Student behavior) hasn’t always been a topic of conversation, but it has been a very intense topic

in the last couple of years. A solution needs to be mutually agreed upon.

Kathy Ling, City Commissioner

By Sydney SmithManaging Editor

@SydneyS_mith | [email protected]

In a perfect world, no one would be able to tell the differ-ence between student dwell-ings and the homes of Mount Pleasant residents. Both groups would coexist without conflict and City Manager Nancy Ridley wouldn’t receive any complaints about trash or a party that con-tinues late into the night.

Unfortunately for Ridley, she heard plenty from Mount Pleasant residents this summer.

While most of Central Michigan University’s student population returned home or left Mount Pleasant for internship opportunities, complaints about numerous nuisance violations — like citations for parking, litter and noise — were made by residents at city commission meetings.

Because the party atmosphere near the downtown has intensified in recent years, City Commis-sioner Kathy Ling said students have become a frequent concern of constituents.

“It hasn’t always been a topic of conversation, but it has been a very intense topic in the last couple of years,” Ling said. “A solution needs to be mutually agreed upon. I think it’s unfortunate that all this was happening when the students weren’t here, because I think they’re a key part of the problem.”

During those meetings big changes were approved by the city commission that will affect students — including hiring an ad-ditional code enforcement officer to police a student-populated area

known as the M-2 district.The code enforcement of-

ficer inspects properties in the neighborhood, looking for code violations, including trash, parking issues and indoor furniture placed outside. The officer will post a no-tice on residents’ doors with a time the issue needs to be corrected. If it’s not fixed by that time, the city will issue a fine. On the first of-fense, each resident is charged $50. These fines can go up to $250.

Those decisions were reached during the summer when most students weren’t able to participate in those discussions, while city of-ficials also lamented not having an effective way to communicate with CMU’s off-campus population. Among other changes, the Mount Pleasant City Commission made amendments to its solid waste program and added a neighbor-hood recycling program.

The town and gown relation-ship in Mount Pleasant has had its ups and downs, but student behavior, unfortunately, has always been a concern.

Growth & ChanGeAlmost 30 years before most of

this year’s freshmen class was born,

the legal drinking age had just been restored to 21. This change in state law helped usher student partying out of bars and onto the streets north of campus. Students organized “End of the World” par-ties, which usually were scheduled the weekend after final exams. In the 1980s, one of these parties caused $7,800 of damage to the city and resulted in 55 arrests.

“There was a period of time where there were massive numbers of students in the streets, with heavy drinking and lots of other problems,” Ling said. “There was a very significant (police) response to that. That did bring it under control for a period of time.”

At the same time, student hous-ing expanded in that area.

“Central and Mount Pleas-ant grew up together,” Ling said. “That was the point where there also started to be a fair amount of conversion from residential homes to student rentals on Washington and Main (streets). The area really began to change.”

Today, Mount Pleasant is made up of almost two-thirds rental properties. There are no longer “End of the World” par-ties, but many city officials fear

student activity could return to that level when CMU was cited nationally as a “party school.” This lead to the proposal of amendments that could drasti-cally change the M-2 district.

Since 2009, the city commis-sion has discussed redeveloping the area, creating a “buffer zone”

between student and residential housing. After a public hearing on Sept. 28, redevelopment could become a reality.

Ling divided the changes into two goals: Get partying under control and have a transitional area between the M-2 and single-family zone R-3.

“The immediate issue is mak-ing sure people are safe,” she said. “The transitional zone is part of the solution.”

A change in ordinance would make it so a M-2 lot could not have a common line with or be located across the street or alley from any lot in R. Lots that share a

property line would not be allowed to have more than four occupants. The only way a Greek house could be near a home in the R district is if the two homes are across a major street from each other.

Preserving the look and feel of the area is also a goal of the com-mission. Improving aesthetics, functions for trash pickup and decreasing front yard park-ing were also highly discussed throughout the summer.

Creating a transitional zone would separate students and residents, putting less-populated dwellings in between them.

“There are just things that

don’t go well together,” she said. “That doesn’t mean there’s one good and one bad. There are some people that wouldn’t want to live in that transitional area because they wouldn’t want to be that close to the partying and the noise, but young faculty or graduate students may find it less of a problem.”

Party ProblemsBecause there is an abundance

of rental properties, the area north of campus is where many students reside. As more and more students move into that area, residents are pushed farther north if they can’t

deal with the atmosphere.Some students have heard

complaints from their neighbors about the level of noise into early hours of the morning. Novi sophomore Michael Halversen said he understands their frustra-tion, but also believes residents should have realistic expectations of their young neighbors.

“When you live somewhere like this, there’s going to be noise and there’s going to be trash,” Halversen said.

Discussions on student partying often follow the calendar year, Ling said. In the past few years, out-of-control parties late in the spring

semester have become more of an issue for city officials and neigh-bors in the months that follow.

“The increase in the number of fires, for example, is really a new phenomenon in the last few years,” she said.

In April 2014, the city com-mission passed an emergency fire ordinance after several fires were started in dumpsters by students. Ling said she has received many phone calls about the volume level, continuing until 2 or 3 a.m. some nights.

Students urinating on lawns, wandering into local resident’s houses and littering were some

of the complaints Ling said she received from constituents.

As more residential homes were converted into student-rent-als, Ling said the neighborhood’s atmosphere shifted. She recalled the story of a friend who raised his family in a house on South Main Street, until his student neighbors became too much to live with.

“He sold his house 10 or 15 years after I moved here in 1971, because that’s when the neighborhood changed,” she said. “It just reached a point where you couldn’t live there anymore. That’s why some of

those people who are in the surrounding areas — who want to continue to live there — are concerned about the boundaries.

“How are we going to make sure that all of us can live together?”

er to address destructive student behavior while also trying to cre-ate an atmosphere where students and residents can coexist.

With the addition of a code enforcement officer specifically in the M-2 district, residents may see more code violations, which result in fines. Here is a list of

common and easily avoidable violations.

No trash is allowed in yards or on sidewalks in front of houses.

Student and resident neighborhoodsstudents is making its way through Isabella County courts, Director of Student Affairs Shaun Holtgreive explained that the university is notified and the student is referred to the Office of Student Conduct.

“If it’s a severe situation, the university will also charge that student. They may be removed from Central,” Holtgrieve said. “Once (court cases) are completed, we’ll get a list and if there are students with severe infractions, there will be follow-up with student con-duct. People who live in that area know that.”

More and more students are finding themselves referred to the Office of Student Conduct for disciplinary action by police, said Mount Pleasant Police Department Officer Jeff Browne.

“We refer individual reports to the university — and it’s more than ever before,” Browne said. “For example, there was an arson last year involving six CMU students, so we turned (those) reports over. We do this for serious ones, ones that pose a threat to the university community.”

Twice a year, city and univer-sity staff walk through student neighborhoods, informing them of expectations, includ-ing law enforcement and code violations.

Oxford senior Arin Bisaro received one of these visits at the beginning of this semester. He said the city should try to do this more often, especially since big changes were made during the summer.

“It’s good to inform students over the summer, but then the other 19,000 come back and don’t know about the changes,” he said.

Residents fear ‘End of the World’ party culture returning to neighborhoods

By Ben Solis Staff Reporter

@bensolis1 | [email protected]

For decades, longtime Mount Pleasant residents have watched with skepticism as Central Michigan University and city officials attempt to tame student partying.

Some view city and univer-sity approaches to stopping wild parties before they start as “half measures,” without the force necessary to set a clear standard of behavior.

Peter Koper, a retired CMU English professor, is one of those residents.

“The university has to get to work (quelling student behavior) in a serious way or it is going to get worse,” said Koper, who has lived in Mount Pleasant since the 1970s. “They keep trying half measures. Things go in cycles, and no one is out burning cars, but the cycle is pronounced and it’s building again.”

Koper’s description is a reference to a series of out-of-control parties that beset the CMU community between the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The “End of the World” par-ties began at 1 p.m. on the last day of spring semester exams.

Mount Pleasant Police Of-ficer Jeff Browne said the city sees the “End of the World” mentality slowly creeping back in, so staff wants to control it before it becomes more than Mount Pleasant can handle.

“None of us want to go back to that,” he said. “(That was) a time when couches were burned, people were flip-ping cars and the streets were blocked off. We know what it looks like when it’s out of con-trol because we’ve seen it. This last year, we started getting on the cusp of it.”

For many years, Koper said CMU didn’t know how to deal with the parties. One year brought on a 50-person melee in the streets; another party shut down six blocks on Main Street.

“It became so bad that any student with the bare minimum of competence knew their behavior was dimin-ishing the reputation of the university and the reputation of their degrees,” Koper said.”It was real bad, and on CNN. It got national attention.”

At some point, Koper recalled, University President Leonard Plachta had enough. His response: an overwhelm-ing build up of state police force on CMU property and in downtown neighborhoods.

“He had the state police set up a post behind Finch Fieldhouse,” Koper said. “He arranged nearly 40 of them. By 6 p.m., police vehicles snaked through the neighborhoods. It was calm after that interven-tion for many years.”

Indeed, things did change. Rose Forton and her now-deceased husband have owned the same house on Franklin Street since 1951.

In the ‘80s, Forton said students would routinely host nusiance parties and “run up and down the street” at all hours of the night. In the last few decades, Forton said that has all but stopped on her side of town.

“I don’t hear them as closely to my house as I did then,” Forton said. “If I do hear them, they’re over (on Main Street).”

With memories of crazed gatherings, Forton is hopeful the “End of the World” men-

tality won’t return to CMU.Koper is far less optimistic.

Until the university is willing to enact bold steps, he said, the cycle will continue.

“These decisions (to act

poorly) are an accurate reflec-tion of the type of educational experience they’re receiving at CMU,” he said. “If their intel-lectual candles were lit, they wouldn’t be out rioting.

“With a bit of moral imagi-nation and authority, the uni-versity could show force and stop it without violence. Shows of force do work. Plachta understood that.”

“I know there are really tight restrictions on (trash). It would be really helpful if they put notices on our doors to tell us about the changes, or send an email out to our landlords. It was good when the police walked around before Welcome Weekend and told us what to expect. They should do that with the other changes. No one wants to get a citation.”

Ridley said the city com-municates with students using the same methods it uses to communicate with homeown-ers. City officials send quarterly newsletters in the mail and post a monthly electronic newsletter on Mount Pleasant’s website.

“Traditionally, we haven’t had a targeted communication for just students,” she said. “We have been working with CMU more on that. Some-times they will report some of our messages in the emails

they send out to students.”

makinG your voiCe heard

“Students are here for basically eight months of the year. We try to think of students as members of our community — They’re just part-time members is all,” Ridley said. “Most of us were students at one time. We value that relationship, but there’s always going to be tension.”

Ridley wants to hear more from students. In the early ‘90s,

a city/CMU student liaison committee was created, then met less and less. City commission-ers are working on revitalizing that, having the group meet more frequently to maintain an open dialogue between students, university staff, residents, law enforcement and city staff. However, applications for the committee closed on Aug. 31, just after most students returned to Mount Pleasant.

Of paramount concern is that students behave as responsible

members of the city, said Holt-grieve, who serves as a member of the liaison committee between the city and CMU. He also served on the Mount Pleasant Planning Commission for nine years.

This includes students taking advantage of volunteer opportu-nities and participating in gov-ernmental decisions by attend-ing city commission meetings or taking their concerns about the recent code enforcement changes and receiving excessive citations to City Hall.

“Democracy only works when people participate. That’s a process where there’s public input sought in stages. Unfortunately, the input doesn’t always come when it’s most effective,” Holtgreive said. “We have discussions when emotions are involved, instead of having a very level conversation.

“The people in the neighbor-hood are involved, but students aren’t involved as much as they could be. It’s important for students to hear how much they affect people that live there.”

Communication between city officials, residents and CMU students needs to improve if we are all to coexist peacefully.

During those meetings, the city commission approved several changes that will di-rectly affect students – includ-ing hiring an additional code enforcement officer to police a student-populated zone known as the M-2 district.

Decisions were reached during a time of the year when few students were able participate in public discus-sions at open meetings. This is unfair to students who have the right to a forum to repre-sent themselves.

Democracy only works when the people are allowed be a part of the decision-making process. Public input on the summer decisions was mostly solicited from resi-dents, often those whose only interactions with students had been negative.

There have been channels of communication in the past, but meaningful discussion between the two groups has been rare.

City officials created a student liaison committee in the 90s, but slowly the idea

died, leaving the city without an effective way to communi-cate with CMU’s off-campus population. It is encouraging to hear city commissioners are working to have the group meet more frequently.

Additionally, city and university staff walk through student neighborhoods at the beginning of the academic year and before Finals Week to inform them of city ordinances and expectations.

We are happy to see an effort to create open dialogue beginning between students, residents, law enforcement and the university, but it is not enough.

As the city creates oppor-tunities for students to make their voices heard, the respon-sibility falls on us to take it. If student want the city’s percep-tion of us to change, we need to meet them halfway.

For some residents, their only contact with students has been destructive partying. On

let’s talk, not argue

Sydney Smith | Managing Editor

Code enforcement officer Jeff Pickler tells a group of students about changes made to the M-2 district during one of the city’s neighborhood

walkarounds. Pickler will enforce this district until a new officer is hired.

This summer, city commissioners took

action to address common complaints

made by residents who share neighborhoods

with students north of campus. They did so

while most of Central Michigan University’s

student population left Mount Pleasant,

demonstrating a lack of communication that

has fostered contempt between residents

and students for decades.

the other side, residents are often seen as cold, unfriendly and prone to calling the police on students who are just trying to blow off some steam.

This conversation has fre-quently played out on Central Michigan Life’s Facebook page,

where commenters fiercely argued over the necessity of increased police presence on Welcome Weekend.

We urge residents not to take stereotypes of students at face value. We urge students not to encourage negative

perceptions by being good neighbors.

Take advantage of volunteer opportunities and participate in governmental decisions by attending city commis-sion meetings when changes may impact you. Take your

concerns about the recent code enforcement changes and increasing police presence to City Hall where it counts

We all want to enjoy this city Students and residents need to work together to make it a place worth living in.

Student Advocates for the Medical and Responsible Use of Cannabis are collecting signatures for a proposal that would legalize marijuana for recreational pur-poses in Michigan.

To appear on the ballot in No-vember 2016 the petition requires more than 200,000 signatures.

The proposal, known as the Michigan Marihuana Legaliza-tion, Regulation and Economic Stimulus Act, would allow adults aged 21 and above to possess 2.5 ounces of marijuana and privately grow 12 marijuana plants, while giving state and local governments flexibility on regulation. Taxes col-lected from the sale of marijuana would go to the Department of Transportation, the School Aid Fund, and to the city government in which the substance is sold.

“The stigma is fading, and we want to wipe it out,” said Dan Cavins, president of SAMRC.

At the first group meeting of the semester on Sept. 9, Cavins cited the increase in incarcera-tion rates and the medical needs of patients as reasons marijuana should be legalized.

“We do this for the parents who lost custody of their children, for the prisoners who don’t have a voice (and) for the kids who die because they can’t get their medi-cine,” the junior said.

Director of the Office of Student Conduct, Tom Idema, said if the proposal was suc-cessful, CMU’s marijuana policy would not change.

“Since CMU receives federal funding, we follow federal guide-lines (The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act) when it comes to controlled substances like mari-juana,” he said. “It really does not matter what the State of Michigan does. As long as we are complying with federal regulations our cur-rent policies will not change. “

The efforts of SAMRC are part of a larger effort to collect signa-tures supported by the Michigan Comprehensive Cannabis Law Reform Committee, responsible for drafting the proposal and fund-ing the campaign.

Cavins said the group has col-lected about 150 signatures in its first week and the response from students has been positive.

The group plans to collect signatures throughout the year by sending volunteers around campus, to residence halls, football tailgates and other events. SAMRC will have tables set up throughout the se-mester, alternating weekly between Monday and Tuesday appearances from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The organization also is encour-aging students to register to vote, providing forms for them to fill out. At the group meeting, Cavins argued that millennials have not participated in the voting process in large enough numbers to have

an impact in elections.Last year, SAMRC worked

with local activists to successfully decriminalize marijuana use in Mount Pleasant, allowing adults of age 21 and older to possess the substance. Marijuana is still restricted within the city, however, due to state laws that the current proposal would override.

Cavins noted that many of the supporters were motivated by medical needs. Sophomore Mitch-ell Brown, secretary of SAMRC, has a prescription for marijuana to treat pain caused by migraines and irritable bowel syndrome. He began using about a year ago, just before his freshman year.

Although medical marijuana is legal in Michigan, CMU does not

allow students to possess or use the substance anywhere on campus, even with a prescription.

Brown said his resident assistant

questioned him about the smell in his residence hall room and told him he could not use the sub-stance on campus. Brown began

storing his prescribed marijuana at a friend’s house. Within a month he decided to move off campus into an apartment.

“It was a bunch of hassle for just trying to feel normal,” he said.

Other students differed in their opinions about legalizing marijuana. Freshman Zack Kujat said he was unsure which side of the debate he favored.

“I think it should be legalized so the cops don’t have to crack down on it, but at the same time it’s dangerous so I feel that people shouldn’t be allowed to use it.”

Sophomore Mikayla Lemery said she opposes legalization due to her family’s experience with drug addiction.

“I have an uncle and a cousin who are drug addicts, and I do not think it should be legalized because it is a gateway drug,” she said.

Establishing a good credit score can help students achieve financial milestones after graduation. The average student has poor credit in college, said Charles Hoff.

Hoff, Dort Federal Credit Union Financial’s Member Education Counselor, said 30 percent of a person’s credit score is based on the balance they have in relation to the total credit available, also referred to as the credit utilization ratio.

The more credit a person has available, the better their score.

“When lenders trust you and you haven’t broken that trust by maxing out a credit card, your score is going to respond in a posi-tive way,” Hoff said.

Joe Garrison, Associate Director of Financial Planning and Budgets and Finance 201 professor, said students can build their credit by being added to a parent’s account as a cardholder, or looking at credit cards that are specifically for students. Students should pay at-tention to interest rates, annual fees and reward points when choosing a credit card, Garrison said.

In addition to utilization, payment history and derogatory marks have significant impact on credit score.

Garrison also said student loan debt is a type of credit source, but it’s not treated the same way as revolving credit. He said

students can build credit by being responsible with student loans and paying them off.

“Only take what you really need to pay your bills,” he said.

Hoff said student loans can negatively impact a credit score as well. Student loan debt is closed end loan debt; the balance should begin to fall, but it doesn’t when students defer interest payments on their student loans, seriously impacting their credit scores, Hoff said.

“When a student takes out a loan for $20,000 for school, (credit scoring firms) expect the balance to be falling for the next several years,” he said. “But what most students do is have the interest added to the loan. That hurts their efforts to raise their score.”

Hoff said a mistake students make is looking at student loans as something they don’t need to pay off until later in life.

“(Students) need to look at

student loan debt as something that needs to be retired and paid off,” he said.

Garrison suggested limiting credit card usage and being mind-ful of available funds.

“(Students who don’t make interest payments while in school) are going to have a low credit score because the balance is higher than the original loan amount taken out,” Hoff said.

To ensure debt doesn’t accumu-late, Hoff recommended students set a target date for when they want to have the debt paid off.

“The earlier you can start to build (credit), the better, but don’t build it by just obtaining cards and accumulating debt,” Garrison said.

Defensive backs deliver punishing blows on the field during the season. During the offsea-son, the Central Michigan secondary was on the receiving end of a huge hit.

After the dismissal of senior cornerback Brandon Greer due to a kidnapping investiga-tion and the graduation of cornerback Jason Wilson, a young and inexperienced group remains at the cornerback position for the Central Michigan University football team.

The secondary will aim to work collectively in an effort to replace the two starters from last season.

“We’ve got a lot to prove,” said senior safety Kavon Frazier. “We’ve got some veterans in the secondary. We have to replace some people on the perimeters.”

Unlike the cornerbacks, the safety posi-tion returns a pair of starters with Frazier and fellow safety Tony Annese, a junior. In 2014, Annese ranked second on the team in tackles with 74, while Frazier was fourth with 58.

Through two games this season, the Chip-pewas have started sophomore Amari Coleman at one cornerback spot and have rotated both senior Stefon Armstead and sophomore Josh Cox on the other side. The trio has combined for 24 tackles in matchups with Oklahoma State and Monmouth.

“We have a lot of great talent (with) young guys that are ready to play,” Armstead said. “We’re eager to get on the field and show ev-erybody what we can do.”

The secondary’s next challenge will be to limit Syracuse wide receiver Brisly Estime and company when CMU takes on the Orange at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Carrier Dome.

Cox is tied for second on the team in tackles this season with 12 after two games. Last sea-son, the sophomore recorded 19 tackles in 12 games. Armstead has tallied four tackles this season after making only one in 2014.

Despite taking a bigger role in the defense, Cox has no fear of covering some of the top wideouts in the Mid-American Conference, including Western Michigan University’s Corey Davis.

“I love being matched up with the best guy on the field,” Cox said.

Cox described himself as a “technician” who can play multiple roles, while Armstead said he

is a quick thinker with good anticipation, who also studies a lot of film.

Armstead is someone Cox called a “great role model on, and off, the field.”

Former Chippewas Jahleel Addae, Wilson and Greer influenced Armstead, who said he will “try and set an example” for the younger cornerbacks.

“I got to sit behind them and learn some things from them,” Armstead said. “I picked up some of their tactics on how to be a leader and how to instill them into the young corners we have now.”

As a new leader in the secondary, Annese plans to help out Armstead in directing the group.

“The corners are learning quickly,” Annese said. “It’s a little different because we had some veteran guys last year at corner, so they kind of helped us, helped me a little bit at safety. Now I’m becoming more of a leader because we’ve got some young guys playing corner.”

Frazier recorded a career-high 13 tackles against Oklahoma State and leads the team with 20 total. He hopes his experience and early performance will carry over to the cornerbacks, a group Frazier says improves consistently.

“When (the cornerbacks) came into camp, they came in ready and have given it all they got,” Frazier said. “Most of them already have experience. We just kept it moving.”

Armstead and Frazier have both donned the No. 21 Derrick Nash legacy jersey this season. Nash, a cornerback on the team, passed away in June after a long battle with cancer. CMU is passing his jersey to a different team member each week of the season to honor him.

Armstead got the nod in week one, while Frazier’s performance against the Cowboys earned him the jersey against Monmouth.

Head Coach John Bonamego has high ex-pectations for his young corners, and said the group will improve with each game.

“You always have concern any time you are playing young players, but old players don’t just show up,” Bonamego said. “I think the guys we have rotating in all have talent.”

Bonamego credited Defensive Backs Coach Archie Collins and Safeties Coach Mike Dietzel for their role in the development of the defensive backs. The position coaches also received praise from Armstead.

“The whole defensive coaching staff does a good job of getting us ready for games,” Armstead said. “We’re very excited about the

Making the secondary a primary position

season. They’re a great coaching staff.”Coleman has started at cornerback in the

first two games and has seen time as a punt and kick returner along with freshman Emmitt Thomas. Coleman made only seven tackles last season, but has already tallied eight in 2015.

Armstead can already see big things for the sophomore this year.

“Amari can be as great as he wants to be,” Armstead said. “Amari has great talent. He is a great guy with a great attitude. He comes out

here and works hard just like all the rest of us.”Replacing Greer was somewhat unexpected,

as he was supposed to lead the group before being kicked off the team in July. He tallied 47 tackles and three interceptions last season. Despite Greer’s troubled offseason, Cox will remember him as a mentor and team leader.

“One thing I’ll take away from (Greer) is to always keep a cool head, play fast and (know) there’s always something you can improve on,” Cox said.

A dominating victory against Football Championship Subdivi-sion (FCS) opponent Monmouth was what most fans expected.

CMU handled MU 31-10 on Saturday, and the team sits at 1-1 on the season as it prepares for its first road trip of the year.

A more than 500-mile flight awaits the team, as it heads to Syra-cuse for a 12:30 p.m. showdown on Saturday at the Carrier Dome.

For Bonamego, Saturday’s vic-tory was his first coaching at his alma mater.

“It feels like a win,” he said. “It’s great, I love the feeling,”

A sustained and methodic first-half passing attack helped the Chippewas cruise to victory, led by junior quarterback Cooper Rush.

The third-year starter finished

the game with 328 yards, was 25-for-36 passing and had three touchdowns and one interception.

Rush’s top target on Saturday was sophomore wide receiver Mark Chapman, who caught six passes for 61 yards.

Chapman showed his versatility to the CMU coaching staff during the first quarter when he took a handoff from Rush and ran the ball 11 yards in for a score, capping a 14-play, 73-yard opening drive to give the Chippewas a 7-0 lead.

Bonamego earns first win

Monica Bradburn| Staff Photographer

Head Coach John Bonamego swings his hat around before leading the

marching band in the fight song after his first win at Central Michigan

University against Monmouth at Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Sept. 12.

The biggest play of the day came on an 83-yard connection from Rush to tight end Ben McCord, who had one of the best games of his CMU football career. His two receptions added up to 100 yards.

CMU’s run game remains the biggest area of concern. Chippewa rushers combined for only 158 yards on the ground on 62 carries in the first two games.

CMU running backs have yet to reach the end zone this season. Rush and Chapman have the team’s only rushing scores.

“About the only thing we didn’t do was run the football,” Bonamego said. “It was a little bit better; we showed some spurts, but overall we still need to be able to run the ball better.”

The closest Monmouth came to scoring in the first half was on a trick play flee-flicker on their sec-ond drive, but quarterback Cody Williams’ pass fell incomplete.

“I think we lucked out that it was a bad throw,” defensive line-man Shafer Johnson chuckled after the game. “He was open.”

Senior defensive end Blake Serpa saw limited action while re-covering from a hamstring injury, but was involved in a CMU defen-sive effort that held the Hawks to less than 30 yards of offense during the first half.

Junior defensive end Joe Ost-man left the game with a leg injury.

Bonamego said x-rays did not show broken bones, but Ostman will be re-evaluated this week to see if he will have to miss any playing time.

The Chippewa defense will have a week to prepare for a Syracuse (2-0) offense that gave their de-fense major trouble last year.

“We owe them from last year,” said senior linebacker Tim Hamil-ton after Saturday’s win.

Rush echoed Hamilton’s claim.“(That game) still stings from

last year,” Rush added. “We didn’t think they were that much better than us, but they kicked our butts.

“We want that one back.”

It was an eventful Saturday in the NCAA, with a pair of Top 10 teams going head-to-head. Here are six games that will have a spe-cial interest among Chippewa fans:

Toledo 16, No. 18 ArkANsAs 12

Dan Enos went 0-5 against To-ledo during his tenure as Central Michigan University football’s head coach. He didn’t have any better luck as No. 18 Arkansas’ of-fensive coordinator Saturday.

While his offense outgained the Rockets 515-318, the Razor-backs only managed 12 points. It was the fewest points Arkan-sas had scored in a game since Nov. 1, 2014 when it lost 17-10 to No. 1 Mississippi State.

In Arkansas’ five trips to the red zone, they managed just three

points. The Razorbacks had a chance on the final play of the game, lining up on the Toledo 16-yard line, but threw an incomplete pass in the back of the end zone.

Eight of their final 10 games will be against ranked opponents.

syrAcuse 30, WAke ForesT 17

Freshman quarterback Eric Dungey only had 35 first-half yards, but finished the day 8-for-13 with 221 passing yards, two touch-downs and no picks in his first game starting for the Orange.

Senior Terrel Hunt tore his Achilles last week, sidelining him for the season.

The Orange are 2-0 after finishing 2014 3-9. They will host the Chippewas on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. at the Carrier Dome. Syracuse has averaged 28,391 fans at its first two home games in the 49,262-person stadium.

For the second time this season, an own goal cost Central Michigan University soccer the game in a 1-0 contest. On Sunday, it was against No. 24 DePaul.

Bennett Field opened to fans for the first time this regular season Sunday afternoon as the Chippe-was hosted the Blue Demons.

DePaul was given a corner kick in the 71st minute, which led to the goal. It was discovered after the game, when looking at the replay, that the ball deflected off a Chip-pewa freshman defender Mary Carlson — and not a Blue Demon — and into the goal.

“As I told the team, I think the challenge on a day like today is you always want to deserve more,” said Head Coach Peter McGahey. “We put a good performance out against a team in the Top 25.

The hard part is, at the end of the day, we didn’t quite do enough,” McGahey said.

Coming within a goal against a top team gives CMU confidence as the Mid-American Conference schedule approaches.

“The thing that I’m excited about as we continue to move forward is this team has continued to respond in a really positive way in some big games,” he said. “It was another positive response.”

CMU tallied seven shots compared to nine from DePaul. DePaul had five saves while fresh-man Zoie Reed made two saves.

“I’m upset about the game but I’m not disappointed,” said junior defender Taylor Potts. “We played really well overall collectively. We moved together as a unit.”

Where They sTANdWith the home loss, the Chip-

pewas are 1-4-1.Despite coming up short in

efficiency, CMU allowed one less goal than rival Western Michigan University, who fell 2-0 to DePaul on Friday evening in Chicago.

They are close to the bottom of the conference as far as non-con-ference play is concerned, along with Northern Illinois (1-6-0), Toledo (2-5-0) and Ohio (1-5-0).

lookiNg AheAdCMU’s next contest comes

Sunday, where they will host Mis-souri Valley member Illinois State in its last non-conference match of the season.

A 1 p.m. game, the match against the Red Birds will be the final game at Bennett Field before they move into the new soccer and lacrosse complex.

The team will play at the new stadium starting Oct. 2 against the Miami Redhawks.

MAC season will start the weekend of Friday, Sept. 25 when CMU will go to WMU and NIU.

made a stop in Oregon’s final drive to clinch the victory in front of 76,526 fans in East Lansing.

Kent State senior kicker April Goss made history Saturday, becoming the second woman to score a point in NCAA Division I history and the first since 2003.

Goss put through an extra point in the second quarter of the Golden Flashes blowout victory. The four-year member of the team was surrounded by teammates and congratulated by coaches and the university president after converting the kick.

Delaware State had -33 total yards in the game, scoring twice off KSU turnovers.

The Golden Flashes host CMU on Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. in the second-to-last game of the regular season.

After keeping within two touchdowns of No. 5 Michigan State last weekend, Western Michigan struggled mightily Saturday against Georgia South-ern. The Eagles lost in Week 1 to West Virginia 44-0.

Bronco Head Coach P.J. Fleck said it was a “royal whooping,” on the Bronco Radio Network after the game.

Georgia Southern completed just one pass for seven yards all day, but it was the rushing attack that finished the Broncos. The Ea-gles carried the ball 52 times for 413 yards and five touchdowns.

WMU hosts Murray State next weekend before going on the road against No. 1 Ohio State Sept. 26.
