It’s not easy being green

Editor’s note: Every Friday, CM Life will publish an in-depth piece, examining differ-ent issues.
It’s no secret the popularity of energy-efficient products is on the rise.
Whether it’s home appli-ances or hybrid cars, CMU is no exception to the environ-mental push.
The Education and Human Services Building, CMU’s re-cycling program and other campus plans are leading the way in efforts to make a more
environmentally friendly campus.
For the past two years, Eagle graduate student Aud-rie Thelen has been a part of CMU’s recycling program, which she said has taken ma-jor strides since her start.
“When I first started, the recycling program wasn’t that big,” she said. “We main-ly just went around collecting ink cartridges and made sure the blue tanks weren’t over-flowing.”
Since that time, the pro-gram has placed separate bins for plastic, aluminum and mixed paper in every kitchenette of every resi-
dence hall. There are also blue trash cans in every in-dividual dorm room with a recycling symbol, where they can then be disposed of in the kitchenette.
More students are work-ing at the center because custodians do not have time, Thelen said. The center has assigned one student re-sponsible for recycling duties in each of the four residence hall complexes.
Aside from the education building and recycling cen-ter, CMU has several other methods of “going green.”
According to statistics from the Office of Institutional Re-
search, 90 percent of CMU’s main campus is heated by steam produced at Central Energy Facility, where it is then distributed to all the buildings on campus. The other 10 percent of campus is heated by natural gas equip-ment.
Additionally, over 90 per-cent of light fixtures are ener-gy efficient. All new applianc-es entering CMU are energy star rated and 80 percent of the existing appliances are today, according to the OIR.
The participation of stu-dents in making CMU more environmentally friendly is crucial, Thelen said.
“We need to realize that our resources aren’t infinite, so to keep wasting them is not going to work forever,” Thelen said. “So why wait until that happens? Why not lessen that shock when we run out of resources? That’s what makes sense to me.”

The demon barber of Fleet Street will take to the Broad-way Theatre stage this week-end.
Starting today, Friends of the Broadway will perform “Sweeney Todd” downtown at 216 E. Broadway St.
The production is directed
by Mike Meakin, a local min-ister and veteran director, and features a large cast and crew consisting of several CMU students and graduates.
One of the new actresses to the theater, Erin Fox, an instructor of communication and dramatic arts, devoted her free time this summer to the musical when she stumbled upon the Broadway Theatre and found they were planning on the musical.
“My biggest passion is sing-ing”, said Fox, who will have the female lead as Mrs. Lovett.
She is one of many perform-
ers bringing experience to the stage.
Others include Brian Ketner, who will play Adolpho Pirelli.
“My favorite part about the-ater is just pretending to be something else,” the Jackson graduate student said. “It’s re-ally an escape to be able to be-come a completely different character.”
Ketner started doing theater when he was in junior high while his mother did costum-ing for various community productions.
“Sweeney Todd” is a story about a man named Benja-
min Barker who owns a barber shop in the downtown area of London where he later de-velops a somewhat evil part-nership with his tenant, Mrs. Lovett.
The story has been a popu-lar musical on Broadway in New York City for years and was made into a movie star-ring Johnny Depp in 2007.
The director and cast said they think the familiarity of the story of “Sweeney Todd” will bring in a lot of extra pub-licity and hopefully a larger

University President George Ross could earn tens of thousands of dollars after being named to the board of directors of a private company.
On Wednesday, Ross was elect-ed to the Furniture Brands Inter-national Inc. Board of Directors, for which he’s required to attend four meetings annually.
John Hastings, Furniture Brands’ vice president of commu-nications and investor relations, said the St. Louis-based company sought Ross’ participation after a current board member recom-mended him.
“He has a long history of build-ing coalitions and I think that’s essential to what we’re doing,” Hastings said. “We’re building a company with processes and in-frastructure to develop our com-pany and (Ross) has a lot of expe-rience having done that.”
According to the company’s 2009 proxy statement, board members are typically compen-sated through an annual cash retainer of $45,000. There also is an annual stock option worth $75,000 given on the first anniver-sary of the grant date and a one-time stock award for newly-elect-ed non-employee directors, which gives $50,000 over five years.
The company has also reim-bursed directors for “reasonable expenses” in connection with at-tending board meetings. They pay the premiums on a $100,000 term life insurance policy pursuant to the company’s group term life program, according to the state-ment.
Hastings said directors’ com-pensation will be disclosed in the company’s 2010 proxy statement, which will be disclosed next spring.
Furniture Brands is a global company publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange that designs, manufactures and sells home furnishings.

Design certification for a building, Kathy Koch said.
Not only does the new build-ing serve as an education tool, but it also has created a long-term cost saving, said Koch, in-terim dean of the College of Ed-ucation and Human Services.
“What we found is that sav-ings in energy are far beyond what we expected.” Koch said. “I believe that it will become the standard in other buildings.”
CMU’s education building is aiming for gold certification, the second-highest honor before platinum.
Koch said the educa-tion building has included many features that will help it reach LEED certification, Koch said. The roof is com-posed of several layers that conserve heat in the winter, cool in the summer and re-
duce rainwater runoff. The building prominently fea-
tures windows in all classrooms and hallways which extend from the floor to the ceiling in order to let in the maximum amount of natural light and reduce electri-cal consumption.
Many of its building materials were taken from quickly renew-able sources. The furnishings, carpeting and paint are recy-clable and don’t emit harmful gasses, Koch said.
The green features even ex-tend to the bathrooms. There are no paper towels and reduced water usage in the faucet.
Koch said it is an excellent way to conserve resources and make things more affordable and accessible to students.
“We’re in a good position to educate students about these issues,” Koch said. “We can do that by the way we build, re-furnish and remodel our facili-ties.”

audience — but they warn it will not be a reproduction of the film.
Meakin said Burton’s direc-tion was vastly different from the theater version he has tried to create.
“The lighting is darker, the stage direction is completely different and I tried to make it much more humorous,” he said.
Meakin said he was amazed by how much he was able to fit on the stage for each scene despite the theater’s relatively smaller size.
Tickets are available at the box office, Ric’s Food Center,
705 S. Mission St. or at the door for $8 dollars.
The production will con-tinue to run through the weekend, including a matinee showing on at 2 p.m. Sunday and further shows the follow-ing weekend.

Michigan Life Thursday, Ross said he’s looking forward to ad-vancing his role as president of CMU and lending his expertise to the company’s board.
“I think this is a great oppor-tunity for me professionally,” he said, “but as importantly for the university to be associated with a corporate board.”
Board members are typically assigned to a different com-mittee and serve in that ca-pacity, Hastings said, but Ross’ duties, official start date and monetary compensation have yet to be determined.
Ross also serves as chair-man of the Central Michigan Resource Corporation and is a member of the Clarke His-torical Society Board, Middle Michigan Development Cor-
poration and National Insti-tute of Charter Schools.
He said other university presidents throughout the country regularly serve on cor-porate boards.
CMU’s Office of Corporate and Foundation Relationships strives to develop positive re-lationships between CMU, corporations and founda-tions throughout the state and country, Ross said.
“Being on this board will give me exposure to some of the (Chief Executive Officers) of corporations and founda-tions throughout the country,” he said.
The first of four board meet-ings will take place Novem-ber in St. Louis, Mo., Hastings said.
Ross said traveling to the meetings will not adversely af-fect the university in any way. He said he also travels to Wash-ington, D.C. on behalf of the
university.“I travel extensively on be-
half of the university,” he said. “I’m off campus in state to De-troit and Lansing very often.”

OFFICE PROFESSIONALS REACH TENTATIVE AGREEMENT
Office professional staff at CMU have reached a tentative agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement with the uni-versity.
The agreement will first be presented to members at an informational ses-sion 8 a.m. Tuesday at the
Bovee University Center, according to an e-mail sent to members by Kar-en Bellingar, president of UAW local 6888, which represents office profes-sionals at CMU.
The agreement will then be voted on through Wednesday at the UC.
According to the e-mail, the bargaining committee and UAW In-ternational Service Rep. Brian Bosak met with the university in mediation Wednesday.

College of Medicine funding is approaching seven figures and the goal of raising $25 million is still at least three years away.
Dr. Ernest Yoder, the college’s dean, said the Capital Cam-paign, which began in Febru-ary, has acquired just under $1 million worth of pledged dona-tions.
While the ideal goal is to have all $25 million raised within three years, Yoder said they hope to have major pledges confirmed well before that — by spring 2011.
“We strongly think we will raise $25 million,” he said.
Original plans aimed to raise the $25 million over five years and the team has been very ac-tive so far, said Board of Trustees member Sam Kottamasu.
Though pledges have only neared $1 million, Yoder said a number of community mem-bers who have substantially donated to the university in the past have verbally pledged to
donate to the College of Medi-cine.
Particulars — like naming opportunities and specific do-nation amounts — are being discussed, Yoder said. Those pledges will not be reflected in the committee’s total until con-firmed.
Yoder said the university jumped into the fundraising phase before having a sub-stantial amount of donations pledged prior to announcing plans for the College of Medi-cine because of the construc-tion’s time frame.
“This is a little different cam-paign,” he said. “Most fundrais-
ing campaigns have a period of about six months where there is sort of quiet fundraising ... We did not have the usual six month quiet period.”
If fundraising efforts do not generate all necessary funds within the five-year time frame, Yoder said the Capital Cam-paign will simply continue seeking donations and there will be no adverse effects for students.
Construction for the college, he said, is slated to be complet-ed in fall 2011 when efforts to recruit students and interviews will be conducted. The first class will begin in summer 2012.
Yoder said initial construction costs are being paid for with funds allocated from the univer-sity construction fund, while the dean’s office budget has been funded through the university operational budget.
These funds will be replaced, Yoder said, when the Capital Campaign has raised the $25 million goal.
According to data from Steve Smith, director of public rela-tions, the $25 million will be di-vided into three categories: $15 million for facilities, $8 million for scholarships and $2 million for start-up operations.
Yoder said there is not a
deadline for raising scholarship money and plans are being de-veloped to continue those ef-forts well after the college build-ing is constructed.
Some corroborating entities have pledged to offer scholar-ship opportunities for CMU medical students.
“Some of the communities themselves are organizing ef-forts to create community-based scholarships for students that come from the area with the intent of recruiting those physi-cians back to their community,” he said.

A smoothie was Michelle Snay’s inspiration in creat-ing a large poster about di-versity.
The art work contains words including “white,” “black,” “Asian” and “Indi-
an” all thrown into a giant blender.
Snay, a 2008 CMU alum-na, made the piece for art professor and department chairman David Stairs’ ART: 444 Advanced Topography class two years ago.
“David Stairs is a riot,” Snay said. “He really chal-lenged his students to think outside the box.”
Snay’s creation and 12 others are currently on dis-play from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Multicultural Education
Center, Bovee University Center 125, until Monday.
Stairs said the art was creat-ed as an assignment in which students had to design a post-er about diversity without us-ing the word “diversity.”
He said the art has pre-viously been on display at the Multicultural Education Center and Rose Arena.
“I like them all,” Stairs said. “I was excited.”
Stairs said one student was even contacted by the gov-ernment of Saskatchewan
inquiring about his work. The posters showcase a
wide range of ideas.One is all white and con-
tains various different ways to say “diversity” in different languages.
“What this artist really wanted is to force you to come in and take a closer look,” said Ulana Klymy-shyn, director of the Multi-cultural Program.
Another one showed a large portrait of an Asian man with bold letters that
read, “If I sat next to you in math class, would you copy off of my exam?”
Smaller print at the bot-tom of the poster read, “Too bad you didn’t know that I’m terrible at math.”
Alumnus Gavin Pohl made a large white poster with a picture of a small girl at the bottom. Near her read the words, “The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.”
“I feel that too many peo-
ple focus on one specific area of diversity such as the color issue, or stereotyping particular ethnic groups,” Pohl wrote on a sign explain-ing his work.
Klymyshyn said the exhib-it represents a large range of what she considers diver-sity.
“I think they did an excel-lent job,” Klymyshyn said. “I’m very impressed with what the students can do.”

Adina Jebaratnam is just one of many students who vividly remembers the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001 and the impact it had on the na-tion.
However, the Midland se-nior was surprised to find that CMU had little planned to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
“There always should be something for Sept. 11,” Je-baratnam said. “It’s a signifi-cant part of our history — not just in the number of deaths, but it provided us the chance for Americans to be unified.”
Volunteer Services is hon-oring the day by giving away red, white and blue ribbon pins on until Saturday in their office in the Bovee University Center. Students are encour-aged by staff to wear the pins to remember the event.
Royal Oak graduate as-sistant Caitlin Cavanaugh helped make the ribbons.
“I think it’s a great oppor-tunity for students, faculty and staff to take pause for the event that happened,” she said. “It’s easy not to think about it but it’s impor-tant — it’s a part of our his-tory.”
Cavanaugh said the staff at Volunteer Services made about 100 ribbons and are running out.
Steve Smith, director of public relations, said he was unaware if any other related events were taking place at CMU this weekend. There were no other events listed on the university’s events calendar Web page.
“It doesn’t have to be any-thing big, but even a moment of silence across campus,” Jebaratnam said.
Other students look to-ward next year in the hopes of some tribute.

Midland sophomore Faith Gantner attended Rick Sny-
der’s town hall meeting Wednesday hoping to gain a better idea of who she’ll vote for this November.
The GOP gubernatorial candidate criticized the Michigan business tax, calling it a “job killer,” among other points, before a packed Charles V. Park Library auditorium.

Snyder’s well-oiled, meticulously-planned appearance Wednesday wins out over Bernero’s spontaneous outdoor rally, due to sheer effective-ness in notifying the public.
Snyder, the GOP candidate, spoke his piece and managed to avoid di-rectly answering most questions, but made sure he got his media coverage.
It was clearly just another campaign stop for Snyder.
When Democratic candidate Bernero attended a rally on campus Aug. 26, it came off as last-minute. He was in the area, had contact with the College Democrat registered stu-dent organization and organized the appearance through the RSO. It was
sparsely publicized and the univer-sity community at large only knew about it a matter of hours before it happened.
Snyder’s campaign went through the university, booked the Charles V. Park Library Auditorium and notified the media over a day in advance of the event.
But Bernero was things Snyder was not.
He was personable and approach-able, more candidly interacting with attendees who didn’t have to wait to be handed a microphone. He shook hands and mingled with them at the same level versus standing upon a stage. Granted, it was just the nature of the event.
But how much does that matter if l fewer people are there to hear about it?
If this informal and largely unpub-
licized campaign stop is indicative of how Bernero’s campaign is being run, it could spell doom for his pursuit at the governor’s office.
Although less personable and more rigid in his message, Snyder made it clear that CMU was not an afterthought to him.
Universities, especially state-funded universities, should be a major priority for gubernatorial candidates.
Snyder has sent a clear, efficient message to the CMU community, and put the ball back in Bernero’s court as far as reaching out to this region again.
Simply put, if Bernero wants to continue to put himself forth as a “man of the people,” he must reach more people. And give mid-Michigan fair warning next time.

Tolerance through
experience
[LEttErs]
It seems like whenever I check the news, there’s something going on that has to do with Islam.
Whether it’s the mosque at Ground Zero, Terry Jones burning Qurans, Taliban stonings, or the disfigured Muslim woman on the cover of Time Magazine, Islam has been getting a lot of media spot-light these days.
This very publication is no exception. Last week I was as-signed a story about how Muslims in Mount Pleasant celebrate the Islamic month of Ramadan. As I researched what Ramadan was, I began to realize how ignorant I am of the 2nd largest and fastest-growing religion in the world.
Although I’d taken some religion classes and even once read the Quran on my own, this story was the door to my first real interac-tions with Muslims. I had never been to a mosque before or even really talked to anyone who was Islamic.
Reporting forces me to stay open to life. I can not afford to live in a bubble and disengage from people who are different from me or even hostile towards me. It’s the job.
Most of the Muslims in Mount Pleasant are international students who have incredible background stories. They all were friendly and helpful. And they had such detailed answers for my questions, I wondered if they had just been waiting to be asked.
The experience of getting to know my Muslim neighbors was enjoyable and gratifying, but not simple. For instance, it got awkward when I asked permission for the photographer, a female, to be allowed past the curtain that separates the men and women inside the Mosque. After deliberat-ing, they concluded that as long as she wasn’t a distraction, they’d break tradition, and let her stand in the back once the praying had already started.
People are diverse meaning there will be disagreements.
And that’s OK. Everyone de-serves a voice.

Dear editor,
Campus Conservatives may have been the first student orga-nization to dissolve, but similar groups on campuses across the country will soon follow its path.
That’s because the federal Su-preme Court ruled over the sum-mer, in Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, that registered student organizations cannot limit mem-bership to students with shared beliefs.
The ruling means groups fo-cused toward racial minorities, such as the Organization for Black
Unity, cannot refuse member-ship to KKK members, who could then overrun the organization and disband it. The same is true for Christian organizations, which could be forced to dissolve unless religious doctrines are ignored by students.
And before anyone says that argument is absurd, it’s happened right here at CMU.
In the spring of 2007, then-members of the Gay-Straight Alliance tried joining Campus Conservatives for the sole purpose of launching a coup d’état and dissolving what was then CMU’s oldest, largest and most active po-litical organization. (This incident was detailed in legal briefs filed before the Supreme Court, and
justices even referred to it in their dissenting opinion.)
The inability of students to voluntarily associate with like-minded students will have a chill-ing effect on free speech and civic engagement on campuses such as CMU, which are already chal-lenged by an apathetic student body that is largely ignorant of anything outside of “Jersey Shore” on MTV.
Sincerely,
Dennis Lennox IICampus Conservatives AlumnusTopinabee, Mich.

Recently, I got to celebrate in a good friend’s wedding as her pastor, or something along those lines.
Tiffanie, who got married Sat-urday, is a great friend of mine. We met five years ago at Red Lobster in Grand Rapids. Tiffanie came into my life shortly after I came back to Christ. She never knew the person I was before my decision to follow Jesus.
We worked together as serv-ers at the “Slobster” as we call it The Slobster is gossip central and Tiffanie heard about my wild past from co-workers.
At that time I was struggling as a new believer and trying to live as an example of my faith.
Tiffanie took notice of me. She saw me trying to understand who I was and we became close friends.
Tiffanie moved to Kalamazoo few years back to live with her future husband Matt. We stayed in touch off and on through Face-book and phone calls.
Tiffanie listened to me often last year while I was attending CMU. Hearing my struggles of adjust-ment. Encouraging me to stay strong. Reminding me of my faith and my trust.
I have always believed God places people in our lives for a reason. Tiffanie was no exception.
When Tiffanie called this past June to ask me about being a part her wedding, I was a little stunned at first. By no means have I thought my life would have made an impression on anyone. It was inconceivable to me that some-one who knew what I was capable of at one time would look up to me in this way.
Tiffanie asked me to marry her and Matt. She wanted me to be the dude in front with the bible. The question was asked via voice-mail, but that gave me a chance to think about it. Basically pray about it.
I was uneasy about doing the ordination online. I even ques-tioned myself about whether this would make God angry? But in my heart, a friend needed me. I did it for that reason. She trusted me enough as a friend that I would do my best for her wedding. So I went online and got ordained.
They called me Pastor Lonnie and I wrote the ceremony and performed the wedding. At the reception some of my old co-workers congratulated me on the service and were a bit in shock I was still doing “the Jesus thing,” as they would put it.
I am still on this journey. I will never be perfect. This wedding taught me a lot about the love be-tween two people. I am glad I was part of their celebration of love. I may not have what they have but I do have a perfect loving God full of mercy and grace.
Grace is something I definitely need. I may be ordained on paper but I am not sure I should be in a pulpit on Sunday mornings or any day of the week.
You have heard of “Bad Santa.” The wedding party called me Bad Pastor.

Wednesday marked a new beginning for Farmington Hills senior Brandon Leo-pold.
It commenced a new year on the Jewish calendar with Rosh Hashanah.
“It’s about ushering in a new year,” Leopold said. “It also gives us a chance to start over.”
Rosh Hashanah is celebrat-ed on the first and second days on the Jewish month Tishrei and is the beginning of High Holiday season for Jews. This year is 1, Tishrei 5771.
It is celebrated on the an-niversary of the creation of Adam and Eve. Followers look back at their sins on the previous year, ask for for-giveness from God and try to learn from their mistakes.
Two-day services include specific melodies, prayers and traditions.
Dipping an apple in honey to signify wishes for a “sweet new year” and blowing from a Shofar or a ram’s horn as a trumpet to announce the be-ginning of the new year are some traditional activities.
It is most importantly a time of reflection, said the Temple Benjamin’s Cantor Jacob Eyal. It is always best to look inside yourself dur-ing Rosh Hashanah before you ask for forgiveness dur-ing Yom Kippur, the day of repentance, she said.
The synagogue, at 502 N. Brown St., does not have a rabbi so the Mount Pleasant resident leads the services with prayers.
“A cantor goes through a lot of similar training as a Rabbi but we are mostly taught the correct way to sing into prayer,” Eyal said. “At larger temples they usu-ally have a Rabbi and Cantor leading services.”
Temple Benjamin has 10 to 20 people at their services every other Friday evening.
Michael Yahkind said he appreciates people being so welcome at Temple Ben-jamin and he attends when he can not go home for ser-vices.
“I mostly come to temple for the traditions,” the West Bloomfield junior said. “I like the cultural aspect of being Jewish.”
Rosh Hashanah is also a time to come together with family and friends to cele-brate a happy new year.
Provost Gary Shapiro said he usually has lunch with a large group of friends and family when they are in town around the holiday.
His daughter and son live in Texas and London, but he said they attend services wherever they are.
“During this time of year it is also typical to have food connected to holidays,” he said. “So many times we travel to Detroit to buy things like Hallahs.”
Temple Benjamin’s Rosh Hashanah celebration ended Thursday but is only the be-ginning of a new Jewish holi-day season.

over to the audience for questions.
“The government’s job is not to create jobs,” Snyder said. “The government’s job is to create an environment where businesses can grow.”
Because his son recently graduated from college and is struggling to find a job, Snyder said he sympathizes with college students and recent graduates trying to find work in the state.
After a question from a student regarding financial aid, Snyder addressed the Michigan Promise Scholar-ship, which has been an is-sue for students since it was cut last year. He said the program “is not the right an-swer.”
“We need to look at who really has the need,” he said.
Snyder also said the state needs to change the require-ments for need-based finan-cial aid.
Student attendance was strong at Snyder’s speech, which was announced this week.
After the event, students held signs and chanted “Hire Rick!” as Snyder exited.
Democrat protestSeveral people dressed as
cows, in a reference to Sny-der’s executive background at Gateway, stood in the hall outside the auditorium to
protest the event.Students from differ-
ent Michigan universities formed the crew to encour-age fellow students to regis-ter to vote and stay informed about local politics. The vol-unteer crew follows Snyder around to each of his events and plans to continue until the Nov. 2 election.
“Being a college democrat keeps me involved; I’ve al-ways been a democrat and have strong democratic be-liefs,” said Whitmore Lake freshman Kelsey Fearer, a member of the CMU College Democrats. “I’ve had friends and family whose jobs have been outsourced and I un-derstand how unfair it really is.”
Gateway went from 20,000 employees to under 2,000 and outsourced work to Chi-na under Snyder’s leadership leaving many families job-less, said John Tramontana, Michigan Democratic Party communications director.
Snyder said the claims that he outsourced jobs while at Gateway are not true.
“I absolutely did not out-source jobs,” he said. “I ac-tually created more jobs and stabilized the company.”
Snyder said the compa-ny grew from 700 to 10,000 employees during his time there and said the outsourc-ing claims are “simply politi-cal gamesmanship.”
“If Snyder’s vision (for Michigan) is anything like it was for Gateway, we’re in trouble,” he said.

Tyler Gizinski. “It’s a mile-stone. It makes sense rather than doing it every year.”
Gizinski said having speak-ers talk about the day would still be a good idea on the university’s part.
Steve Wheeler, a resident assistant in Fabiano Hall, was not surprised to hear about the lack of a CMU trib-ute this year.
“I think that if the students really want to do something about it, they could have,” said Wheeler, a Rockford ju-nior. “Society isn’t making a big deal about it and are too enthralled in their own lives.”

To many, a bike ride is an enjoyable experience that con-nects the rider with the out-doors.
That is just what the United Way of Isabella County thought when organizing its char-ity kickoff this year — a 3-mile family fun bicycle ride start-ing at noon Saturday at Island Park.
Nichole Bliss, executive di-rector of the local nonprofit branch, said the main purpose of the United Way is to give back to the community and raise money for affiliate orga-nizations such as The Salvation Army, American Red Cross and 17 other agencies.
“Our goal for the event was $10,000,” Bliss said. “We’ve al-ready exceeded this amount through sponsorship.”
All ages are encouraged to participate and it is $5 for an individual to register and $20 for a family. In addition to the bike ride, there will also be a provided lunch, snow cones, popcorn and a “local celebrity dunk tank.”
Stan Shingles, associate vice president for University Rec-reation said he encourages all students to get involved in one way or another. Shingles, along with his wife, Rene, serve as am-bassadors for the CMU United Way Fund Drive Campaign.
“CMU student involvement is important in the CMU Unit-ed Way Fund Drive Campaign,” he said. “No matter how large or small, the contributions of students makes a significant impact on our community, the agencies and the people that the United Way funding im-pacts.”
The event will also include the welcoming of participants in a 100-mile bike ride, which begins in Kentwood and ends in Island Park. The idea origi-nated after DTE Energy gas operations supervisor Mike Demos was challenged by fel-low employees to do the rigor-ous ride alone last year.
Demos agreed to participate in the ride on one condition — the employees must pledge funds for the United Way and support those who were strug-gling with heat and utilities. The employees responded and raised $5,000.
“It all started when the em-ployees joked and told me I should ride to work,” Demos said. “It became a reality, and really caught on.”
The idea is new to the kickoff this year. Demos and six other participants will be pushing themselves to complete the ride.
Participants can still register for the 3-mile race until 11:30 a.m. Saturday by calling 773-9863 or by visiting www.ridemi.org.
“We encourage students to participate, it’s great way to give back to the community and have fun doing so,” Bliss said.

Jeff smith/StaFF photographerMid Michigan Community College student Scot Jenkins will be an active serviceman serving the 119th Bravo Battery First Battalion, a field artillery unit, in Kuwait starting Monday. “I wanted the money so I could go to school,” he said. “I was supposed to go to Iraq, but since (President Barack) Obama ended Operation Iraqi Freedom, I will be in Kuwait.”
“I joined mainly for the money,” the White Cloud na-tive said. “I wanted the money so I could go to school.”
Jenkins said he doesn’t know what to expect, but he thinks he will be escorting convoys from Kuwait into Iraq.
Scot’s brother Andrew joined the Navy six years ago.
Andrew Jenkins, now a First Class Petty Officer, thinks the Army will be good for his brother.
“I see Scot doing what I did, a complete 180 degree (flip),” he said. “I think it’s a good idea for him to use the military as a tool to skyrocket himself.”
Andrew Jenkins said he too was nervous when he first
joined the military, but is glad he did.
“(I) wouldn’t change it for the world,” he said.
Their grandfather was a Marine, Scot Jenkins said.
Though he said his parents do not share his excitement for his entry into the military, his sister is proud.
Brenda Jenkins is excited yet saddened for his deploy-ment.
“I’m going to miss him,” she said. “But he’s doing it for himself and his family, so it’s a good thing.”
Brenda said she is prepared for Scot’s deployment because she already got through their brother Andrew’s service.
“(Scot is) very determined
and really strong at everything he does,” she said. “He’s a re-ally good kid. I’m very proud of him.”
Scot Jenkins said his road to joining the military was atypical as he participated in split ops, a training pro-gram that puts the soldier through Basic Training and Advanced Individual Train-ing at different times.
“I did my Basic Training last summer and this past summer I did my AIT,” he said.
Despite his eagerness to serve, he’s still nervous for his entry into the field.
He said he is disappointed to not head to Iraq because now there won’t be as much
to do.“I was supposed to go to
Iraq,” Scot Jenkins said. “But since Obama ended Opera-tion Iraqi Freedom, I will be in Kuwait.”
Waiting for Kuwait
MMCC student readies to deploy as U.S. Army soldier Monday
Today, Scot Jenkins is a community college student enjoying the company of his roommates.
But on Monday, Jenkins will be an active serviceman serving with the 119th Bravo Battery First Battalion, a field artillery unit, in Kuwait.
He said he saw the U.S. Army as a way to not only start a career, but to pay for school and serve his country.
The Mid Michigan Community College freshman will get his chance to serve, carry on a family legacy and make some hard-earned cash next week.

PHILADELPHIA FAILOvertime field goal helps Temple beat CMU, 13-10
By Anthony FenechSenior Reporter
Cody Wilson pushed for five more yards. Cedric Fraser caught a pass and then threw a defender off of him. Paris Cotton cut a 14-yard loss in half.
The Chippewas offense had it Thursday night. They had the ball, they had the game and they knew it.
“We were doing everything we could to win,” Wilson said.
They had it, but they didn’t. And after a 13-10 overtime loss at Tem-ple, their first Mid-American Con-ference opening loss in six years, they knew that as well.
“We tied it up,” he said. “We just couldn’t finish today.”
In the end, the same missed op-portunities that put the offense to sleep in the first half would ulti-mately sink the Chippewas when, with only seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the football escaped sophomore quarterback Ryan Radcliff ’s hand and trickled to midfield, where the clock would expire on regulation, the play not-ing an offense’s biggest missed op-portunity with an exclamation.
The Chippewas outgained Tem-ple by 86 yards, but they turned the ball over twice as much. They tallied two more first downs, but committed three more penalties.
CMU drove into Temple terri-tory on the first three drives of the game, yet all they had to show for it was a punt, an interception and a turnover-on-downs.
It didn’t get much better, save a 70-yard hookup between Radcliff and Wilson and its complement-ing one-yard touchdown run from Cotton, the offense sputtering and kicker Paul Mudgett’s kicks flut-tering, but there they were, in the fourth quarter, with a chance to win the game.
“It was a big part of the game,” Wilson said afterwards.
And suddenly, Radcliff was lead-ing an offense, completing pass af-ter pass as the Chippewas marched down the field for its longest drive in terms of plays, and second-lon-gest in terms of yardage.
“He has a really good demeanor with our team,” head coach Dan Enos said of his quarterback’s per-formance with the game on the line.
Pinch-kicking, David Harman knocked one through the uprights with 1:11 remaining; the offense finally feeling gelled, hoping for another chance with the ball.
They had it, and then they didn’t.
“I thought we kind of left a lot out there,” Wilson said. “But we will learn from that and come back next week even stronger. I think good will come from this.”

Wilson rushed for 26 yards on six carries and had seven receptions on a game-high 149 yards receiving. His longest reception of the game was 70 yards, which provided running back Paris Cotton the opportunity to score CMU’s lone touchdown during the third quarter.

Field hockey looks for first win
By Justin HicksStaff Reporter
The Central Michigan women’s field hockey team looks to leave its slow start in the past this weekend when they host Providence in their home opener at 2 p.m. Saturday at the CMU Field Hockey Complex.
“I look at the Providence game as a game between two teams hungry for a win,” said CMU head coach Cristy Freese. “Their record is deceiving. I think they’re a very good team, and we’re going to have to play really well to come out with a win.”
The team will have little time to let the game sink in, however, as
it has to turn around and travel to Ann Arbor for a 1 p.m. game Sun-day against Michigan.
In their last meeting last sea-son, CMU shut out the Wolverines 1-0 thanks to a late goal from Pam Seufert.
“It’s a rivalry for us and we always play well against them. They’re a bigger school than us and it’s al-ways fun to play against them,” said senior back Kim Sihota.
All three teams enter the week-end winless, with both Providence and U-M coming into the weekend 0-4.
“I really look at all three teams this weekend, including us, as teams hungry for a win,” Freese said.
Looking to regroupWith two weeks off following
the Champions In-vitational in East Lansing, the last time CMU played a game, the team has been working to correct the holes in its game.
“We’ve been working on our moving together as a unit,” Sihota said. “I think (the tournament) mo-tivated us to do better this week-end and to know that we can never have that score again.”
CMU (0-2) dropped both games in East Lansing to open the season, losing 4-2 to host Michigan State, ranked seventh in the nation, and 9-0 against No. 13 Louisville.

PHILADELPHIA — There was nothing Nick Bellore could do about it.
The senior linebacker suffered an ankle injury in the second half and was forced to watch as the Central Michigan football team suf-fered a 13-10 overtime loss Thursday night at Temple.
The Chippewas would start with the ball in overtime and picked up a first down before sophomore quarterback Ryan Radcliff was intercepted by junior defensive back Kee-ayre Griffin in the end zone.

Temple would pick up a first down with three straight runs be-fore McManus hit a 30 yard field goal to win the game and improve Temple’s record to 2-0 on the sea-son.
“(It’s great) that we’re staying to-gether and finding a way to win,” said Temple head coach Al Golden. “Obviously, you have an organi-zation that scores 33, 34 and 35 points a game and, in five quarters, they score 10. I think that is prob-ably the most pleasing.”
With freshman kicker Paul Mud-gett struggling, missing his fourth field goal of the young season, red-shirt freshman backup kicker Da-vid Harman came on and made a 31-yard field goal with 1:11 left in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 10.
The Chippewas after on a fumble recovery, but a botched snap took them out of field position and into overtime, where the missed oppor-
tunities proved to be too much.
BeLLore injuryWith about 10 minutes to go, Bel-
lore injured his ankle and played sparingly throughout the rest of the second quarter. Head coach Dan Enos said Bellore will be reevaluated and is currently day-to-day with an ankle sprain.
The lone Temple touchdown in the first half came when Bellore was on the sideline.
“I think we played with a great effort today,” said senior lineback-er Matt Berning, who led the team with 11 total tackles. “Even with Nick out that just shows how good of a defense we are going to be this year as a unit even though we lost it excites me.”
Meanwhile, the CMU offense was fairly ineffective throughout, converting four out of seven third down attempts in the first half, but failing to score any points.

After nearly two quarters of scoreless football, CMU punted the ball for the second time in the game.
On the ensuing drive, Temple sophomore run-ning back Bernard Pierce broke the tie with a 4-yard touchdown run to give the Owls a 7-0 lead. The Owls drove 69 yards down the field, most of which on rushing plays, to score first.

Offense
DLast week: B
Typically 305 yards through the air will get it done, but the of-fense just couldn’t finish the job Thursday. Fumbles for lost field position, missed field goals anda pair of interceptions stifled CMU’s ability to score and, ultimately, the game.
Defense
ALast week: A
The CMU defense held Temple and-MAC Freshman of the Year running back Bernard Pierce to less than 300 total yards for the game and 13 points. Even without Nick Bel-lore in the second half, the unit did its job and kept the offense within striking distance throughout.

The unit improved from last week but one missed field goal that turned out to be costly. Freshman David Harman’s 31-yard, fourth quarter field goal was a breath of fresh air for a position that strug-gled in the first game.
Overall
BLast week: B
This is a disappointing loss for CMU. It was in the entire game thanks to an outstanding defen-sive performance without senior linebacker Nick Bellore for the second half. The offense just couldn’t capitalize and made too many mistakes.
After tieing the game at 10 late in the fourth quarter, CMU began ti seize momentum with a late-quarter fumble recovery. The Chippewas started overtime with the ball at the Temple 25 yard line. After a pair of 5-yard receptions and two yard rush from Paris Cotton, CMU found itself on the Temple 13-yard line before quar-terback Ryan Radcliff threw his second interception of the game in the end zone. On the next pos-session, Temple kicked a field goal to win the game.
After going 4-for-5 last week against Villanova, in-cluding three from more than 40 yards out, McManus, struggled early Thursday. He missed a 44 and 38 yard field goal in the first half, but cameback in the second half to put Temple a 10-7 lead and then give the Owls a win in overtime.

Following Temple’s second of the drive, CMU took over on their own 18 yard line. Quarterback Ryan Rad-cliff started the drive with a 12-yard pass to tight end David Blackburn.
Radcliff then hooked up with receiver Cody Wilson for 70 yards to Temple’s 1-yard line. A play later, run-ning back Paris Cotton rushed for 1-yard totie the game at 7.
Temple kicker Brandon McManus responds in the following drive with a 31-yard field goal to give the Owls a 10-7 lead.
After CMU kicker Paul Mudgett missed his fourth field goal of the season, freshman David Harman stepped in and kicked a 31-yard field goal with 1:11 remaining in the fourth quarterback to tie the game at 10.
After recovering a fumble shortly after tieing the game late in the fourth quarter, CMU recovered a fum-ble in Temple territory with an opportunity to win the game.
But a fumbled snap to running back Paris Cotton in the Wildcat formation took the Chippewas out of field goal range and into overtime, where Temple kicker Brandon McManus hit a 30-yard field goal for the win.

By Matt HerrodStaff Reporter
Central Michigan director of cross country/track field Wil-lie Randolph announced one of the largest incoming classes CMU has ever had a few weeks ago.
The 2010 class consists of 24 athletes, 16 men and eight women, while eight will run for the men’s and women’s cross country teams.
Randolph didn’t have to travel far to find his talent. He recruited most of his athletes from within the state, with the exception of two athletes from outside the United States.
“We are excited about our incoming class,” Randolph said. “These athletes provide us with a large quantity of ver-satile, quality athletes. When you bring all those things to-gether, you get a class that will come in and make an immedi-ate impact across the board. They will help take our team to the next level again moving forward.”
One of the impact freshman so far has been Krista Parks, who earned all-state honors in both cross country and track and field at East Kentwood
High School in Grand Rapids.“I like the family atmosphere
at CMU,” Parks said. “I feel like I fit in well here.”
In her first collegiate meet, Parks, running unattached, fin-ished second at the Jeff Drenth Memorial on Sept. 3 in Mount Pleasant.
Also on the women’s side is Kelsey Ritter, who won eight individual titles and led Fran-kenmuth High School to a state championship last year.
On the men’s side, Randolph found Ethan Lievense, a prod-uct of Saugatuck High School in Douglas, who earned all-state honors in cross country and track and field all four years.
Lievense owns the Saugatuck school record in the 1600-meter race with a time of four minutes, 24 seconds, and real-izes the determination Ran-dolph has to increase CMU’s profile on a national level.
“I really like how the coaches want to make (CMU) out as a national-level program,” he said.
In addition, Kyle Stacks (Con-cord H.S.) and Isaac Cox (East Kentwood High School) bring resumes with state champion-ships to the class.
Stacks, who ran unattached, finished fourth at Jeff Drenth with a time of 15:19.
Sprints runner Norman Hol-man earned all-state honors in indoor and outdoor track and field in 2010, as well as a na-

Junior Brooke Sihota net-ted both of the team’s goals in the tournament, match-ing her 2008 total and com-ing within two of her goal total in 2009.
The Chippewas were out-shot by more than a 6-to-1 margin over the two games, totaling 11 to their oppo-nents’ combined 67 shots.
Freshman Carissa Flocken and junior Anastasia Netto both saw time in net in the tournament. Flocken played all 70 minutes against MSU, giving up four goals. She was
relieved in the second game by Netto after giving up five early goals.
“I know the first weekend we were a little over our heads in terms of competi-tion, but we’re ready for this weekend and to see where these two weeks have taken us,” Freese said.
Netto will get the start in net Saturday, though Sunday’s start will depend on her per-formance against Providence.
“(Anna) has been real strong and is going to start in goal Saturday,” Freese said. “Her playing time will depend on her play.”

Michigan quarterback Den-ard Robinson remains the talk of college football after his electrifying 383-yard offensive performance in Saturday’s victory over Connecticut.
He conceded during Tuesday’s Big Ten confer-ence call that the atten-tion has been “overwhelm-ing,” but he’s already refocusing on the next game at Notre Dame.
Some of the feedback has been internal.
“All of the (Michigan) D-line has been telling me to get down, we don’t want you to get hurt,” Robinson
said. “They were telling me, get down and take what you got.”
Will he listen? “We’ll see,” he said.
The stakes rise in a rivalry game, and Robinson is start-ing to realize that.
“I didn’t pay attention to a lot of the Michigan-Notre Dame rivalry (growing up in Florida), but now I’m a part of it and I’ve seen the game last year and how intense it was, it’s crazy,” he said, referring to U-M’s victory last season at Michigan Stadium after scor-ing the go-ahead touchdown with 11 seconds left.
“It’s amazing how big the game is and to be a part of that, something bigger
than yourself.“You don’t have to do any-
thing different. If you just say Notre Dame and you play for Michigan, it’s something you should get pumped up for.”
Coach Rich Rodriguez said Robinson will make his sec-ond start, ending any dis-cussion that Devin Gardner or Tate Forcier could replace him.
“I guess once you catch a rhythm he lets you stay in,” Robinson said.
Rodriguez pointed out that Robinson’s biggest improve-ment has come in compre-hension of the offense, espe-cially identifying movements and coverages of opposing defenses.

The Central Michigan women’s volleyball team hits the road again this weekend in what may be the toughest non-conference tournament they will compete in all sea-son.
The team travels to Wisconsin Friday to par-ticipate in the Milwaukee-Marquette Invitational tour-nament. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wis-consin-Madison and Creigh-ton round out the two-city, four-team tournament.
CMU begins the weekend at 1 p.m. today against UW-Milwaukee (2-4), a team they feel closely rivals previous opponent Niagara.
Senior outside hitter Lau-ren Krupsky said the team learned a lot from last week-end’s matches and will be prepared for the tough com-petition ahead this weekend.
“The competition is going to be a lot better so we want
to just take where we left off last weekend and build from that,” Krupsky said.
One area where Krupsky said her and the Chippewas can exploit Milwaukee is on deep shots. Offensively, CMU is hitting at a .201 percentage and tallied a .298 percent-age last weekend against Youngstown State.
“We’re really good at hit-ting deep shots and having a lot of variety, and they seem to be sucked in a lot on their defense, which is going to be to our advantage,” Krupsky said.
The second match of the weekend will see the Chip-pewas compete at noon on Saturday against undefeated Wisconsin. The Badgers come into the match with a perfect 6-0 record, having not lost a game all season behind the efforts of a defensive effort that has held opponents to a .056 hitting percentage.
To combat a talented Wis-consin squad, CMU head coach Erik Olson has been
practicing the team hard and keying on everyone being a quicker on their feet and making more timely deci-sions.
“I think the biggest thing is that we need to train,” Ol-son said. “We are a half-step slow against the top 25. We still need to get stopped a lit-tle sooner, and our first step needs to be a little quicker.”
The final test of the week-end will be at 6:30 p.m. Sat-urday against Creighton. The 3-4 Bluejays come into the weekend after a pair of wins against Wake Forest and Iowa. Their strong offensive attack is led by senior Alicia Runge, who amassed 54 kills last weekend.
CMU will look for big con-tributions again from Krup-sky (4.1 kills per set) and ju-nior Catherine Ludwig (11.3 assists per game) who helped the team to three wins last weekend at the Youngstown State Invitational.
Volleyball faces tough tourney this weekend in Wisconsin

With a clear goal of winning nationals in its sights, CMU club dodgeball is working to develop younger players while trying to maintain success.
After winning the Michigan Cup and finishing with a No. 2 national ranking and 6-3 re-cord in league play, the team anticipates another promis-ing season.
The team is in its fourth year of existence and have been a consistent winner, including capturing multiple tourna-ments and being nationally ranked in recent years
“We have a pretty good chance of winning nationals this year,” said team captain Pat Fisher.
This year’s team has many new faces, allowing the more experienced leaders on the team to step up and assist in developing the young players into good players for years to come.
Team president Erica McLean said about a third of the team’s starters are expect-ed to be freshman.
“We do a lot of teaching,” McLean said. “Instructing the basics and how to grip the ball correctly are key in teaching the younger players how to win on a consistent basis.”
Junior Bryce Corrion said that having many of the team’s older players will only benefit the team.
“Bringing back a lot of the captains will help develop the new guys,” Corrion said.
There are always things to build on, even with the recent success of this team.
In years past, the team has developed a rivalry with Grand Valley State and Michigan
State. However, Grand Valley has lost many of their players for the upcoming season due to graduation. Michigan State looks to be the team’s biggest rival this upcoming season.
With the new rivalries, McLean said she is eagerly anticipating the start of the season.
“I think this year will be the best we’ve been — we have a lot of really good freshman,” McLean said.
CMU beat Michigan State 3-2 in overtime last season to win the Michigan Cup and finished the tournament with a 4-0 record. The team also competed at nationals, host-ed by Ohio State.
Earlier this year, CMU upset Grand Valley State 2-1, ending the Lak-ers’ 42 match win streak. This year’s club dodgeball team looks to find success just as in seasons past.
No. 12 Miami (FL) at No. 2 Ohio State, 3:30 p.m. Saturday (ESPN)If you’re looking for the game of the week, Miami at Ohio State is the game you should catch. The Hurricanes travel to Columbus, Ohio, for a top 25 game against Big Ten favorite Ohio State. Both teams are lead by potential Heis-man winning quarterbacks. Ter-rell Pryor passed for 247 yards and three touchdowns in OSU’s 45-7 win against Marshall last week, while Miami’s Jacory Har-ris threw for 210 yards and 3 touchdowns in the Hurricanes’ 45-0 win against Florida A&M.
Michigan at Notre Dame, 3:30 p.m. Saturday (NBC)As far as rivalries go, Michigan versus Notre Dame may be the best there is. The Wolverines look to capitalize off Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson’s big game against UConn last week in which he threw for 383 total yards and two touchdowns. On the other side, the Fighting Irish got first-year head coach Brian Kelly his first win last week.
Michigan State at Florida Atlantic, noon Saturday at Detroit’s Ford Field (ESPNU)Both teams are coming off im-pressive wins last weekend. In their 38-14 win against Western Michigan last weekend, the Spar-tans were lead by potent run-ning back tandem Edwin Baker and La’Veon Bell, both of whom
rushed for more than 100 yards and two touchdowns. The Owls played well offensively, led by quarterback Jeff Van Camp, in their 32-21 win against UAB.
No. 17 Florida State at No. 10 Oklahoma, 3:30 p.m. Saturday (ABC)The Seminoles are coming off of a 59-6 win over Samford, while Oklahoma won by a slight 31-24 margin against Utah State. As standout players go, the Sooners have running back De-marco Murray, who rushed for more than 200 yards, and Ryan Broyles with 142 yards receiving. Florida State prides itself on de-fense, ranking 17th in the nation in points against.
Eastern Michigan at Miami (OH), 2 p.m. Saturday (ESPN3.com)EMU second-year head coach Ron English will look for his first win against a RedHawks team that put up a fight against Flor-ida last week. The Eagles had two players, Dwayne Priest and quarterback Alex Gillet, rush for more than 100 yards last week in their 31-27 loss against Army. MU quarterback Zac Dysert threw for 191 yards, most of which to receiver Armond Robinson.
Nicholls State at Western Michigan, 7 p.m. Saturday The Broncos look for their first win without quarterback Tim Hiller after their loss in East Lansing. Quarterback Alex Carder threw for 220 yards and two touch-
downs in the loss and should have a solid game throwing the ball. FCS Micholls State suffered a 47-0 beating against San Di-ego State on Saturday.

Excitement lingers in the air for the Central Michigan women’s gymnastics team since former Michigan gym-nast Huneth Lor was added to the coaching staff on Aug. 27.
Lor comes to CMU from Denver University, where she served as an assistant coach on a team that finished the season 24-5 and ranked 15th in the nation.
“She has a strong back-round at a national level, and with that she will be able to help our program,” said head coach Jerry Reighard.
Reighard said he is excited
to have someone with a suc-cessful history in the sport be a part of the program. Her knowledge of the sport will help aid the team in dealing with the tougher competition through the season, Reighard said.
Lor attended Michigan for her prominent gymnastic skills, where she was honored as most improved gymnast in 2007 and second-team All-Big Ten honors.
She graduated from Michi-gan with a bachelor’s degree in sociology in 2009.
She said she is very excited to be back in Michigan and apart of CMU’s program.
“It just happened, my old coach inspired me to give something back to the sport,” Lor said.
Lor will be taking over the assistant coaching job, which was held previously
by Reighard’s wife Nancy, who was asked to step down due to the nepotism rule e s t a b l i s h e d by the univer-sity. Reighard, entering his 24th year coaching, said he is confident about the coming season has begun establishing high objectives for the team.
“Our main goal is always to win, but we would like to fin-ish the season in the top 18,” Reighard said.
CMU finished last season 20-5, ranked 24th in the na-tion, and Lor hopes to help improve those numbers in 2010.
“We are very motivated and have a great energy,” Lor said.

LEFT: Senior wide receiver Matt Torres watches his team from the bench as they continue play into overtime during CMU’s 13-10 loss at Lincoln Financial Stadium. ABOVE: Senior linebacker Nick Bellore walks off the field with tape on his ankle during the second quarter. Bellore recorded two tackles on the game before being benched for ankle injury.
The Chippewas’ only scor-ing threat of the first half was stopped when junior running back Paris Cotton was hit in the backfield on fourth and inches from the 25 yard line, failing to get the first down.
“If we were real confident in our kicking game we prob-ably would have kicked it there,” Enos said. “That’s a decision we had to make we thought we had a good play and we thought we could make it.”
CMU would find the end zone in the second half when sophomore receiver Cody Wilson took a pass over the middle from Radcliff for 70 yards down to the one yard line.
Cotton crossed the goal line on the very next play evening the game up at sev-en points a piece.
Temple went on to take the lead right back from the Chippewas on its next drive with an 11-play, 66-yard drive that lasted 5:28.
Sophomore kicker Bran-don McManus made a 31-yard field goal to give Temple a 10-7.
The Chippewas got the ball back with 8:42 in the fourth quarter and drove all the way down the field be-fore being halted for a field goal attempt.
Junior defensive end Kashawn Fraser had a strong game after coming off of sus-pension last week, forcing a fumble with junior John Wil-liams giving CMU a chance to win.
“Defense did a great job flying around, Kashawn Fraser was a factor,” Enos said. “We still hurt our-selves with penalties, but we thought the defense played very well.”
Radcliff was stripped on the ensuing series, but red-shirt junior Rocky Weaver recovered as time ran out sending the game to over-time.

At Michigan, the topic of ri-valry games is a constant pres-ence.
The first of this season comes Saturday in South Bend, Ind. But new Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, who coached on the west side of Michigan long enough at Grand Valley State to know the rivalry’s intensity, isn’t pulling out the Michigan dartboard.
“I have never prepared foot-ball teams in a manner that we focus on a particular rivalry, that we put all our eggs in one basket,” he said Tuesday dur-ing his media teleconference. “I try to keep a steady, enthusi-astic approach to every game. ... I just try to remind them this game has some historical significance, and respect that, but we’re going to focus on ourselves.”
For Kelly, the adjustments to Notre Dame have not been massive, but enough that they have been more of a compromise of his style with the standing traditions at the school.
The 24 hours before home games are a bit more intense in South Bend than he has dealt with elsewhere, includ-ing the longstanding pep rally. But he has adjusted.
“I wasn’t surprised, but it’s a lot,” he said. “... I have to plan my day a little bit differently. Believe me, it’s worth doing, all of it, all the special events leading up to the game. I just have to get acclimated to it and really try to protect our football team the best I can, so they’re not overwhelmed at times.”
Notre Dame coach will not oversell rivalryKelly keeps steady appraoch to game day
