Despite disappointing loss in Fresno,
fans at home gather to follow action
by CORRIE PERNIK
Ltf-b  Staff Writer
CMU fans eager to cheer on
the Chippewas at the Raisin
Bow] Saturday gathered at a
number of local bars in high
spirits, but went home disappointed following CMU's 48-24
defeat.
One of the most popular
viewing spots was Boomer's
Nightclub. 5665 E. Pickard,
which packed a full house of
about 300 people, said Greg
Froelich. a bartender at the
club.
The excited crowd cheered
the Chippewas and even
started a "wave." early in the
game, but many of them left
when it became apparant
Central was going to lose, he
said.
"They were streaming out
the doors." he said.
Boomer's, which normally
allows only those over 21 to
enter, opened its doors to fans
of all ages Saturday. Froelich
said.
At one point, a line of about
30 people waited to get through
the doors, he said.
.-..to.- Froelich attributed the large .
crowd to advertising and the
fact that minors were allowed
entry.
Hulio's Sports Lounge. 5150
S. Mission. was another
popular viewing locale.
The bar was Tilled to capacity
with about 160 "pretty mellow""
fans. Jeff Whitmore, a Hulio's
manager, said.
He attributed the large
crowd to Hulio's reputation as a
good place to watch sporting
events.
Hulio's sold "a lot of beer"
during the game. Whitmore
said, adding he did not think it
would have affected business if
Central won or lost.
""People will get pretty
crocked anyway," he said.
Michael Felisky. Flushing
senior and Chris Studebaker,
Midland senior, agreed Central's loss would not stop them
f r o m p a rt y ing.
"I like the food and the
atmosphere here." Felisky. said
while watching the Raisin Bowl
at Hulio's.
"They've got good beer
specials." Studebaker added.
Although Felisky. Studebaker and their friends
planned to celebrate whether or
not Central won. many other
fans left the bar when the
Chippewas failed to convert on
a fourth and one. Michelle Lint.
Mount Pleasant senior, said.
"That was the turning point,"
she said.
Shortly after Central failed
to convert. San Jose shot up the
score with another touchdown.
"(The Chippewas i were the
underdogs but thev played good
ball." Walt Painter. St."Charles
senior, added. "I just wanted it
to be respectable "
Yet another popular viewing
spot was the Cabin. 930 Broom
field. where about 100 people
snacked on chocolate-covered
raisins while cheering on the
Chippewas.
The bar was busier than on
an average Saturday, said
Chris Windiate, Essexville
senior, but management did
not expect any problems from
the "enthusiastic" crowd.

Academic Senate calls for special meeting
to question Jakubauskas about budget cuts
by CHAD BUSH
L'.'t-i- Staff Writer
Academic senators plan to
question President Edward B.
Jakubauskas about his proposed
solutions to CMU's financial
problems at a special meeting
Tuesday.
A-Senate usually meets every
other Tuesday, but senators
decided to have an extra meeting
Tuesday at 4 p.m. in Pearce 138
because of the president's
absence from the Dec. 4 meeting.
"The whole reason for having
the meeting is to get the presi
dent there to ask him the same
questions we asked the provost,
and possibly some others," said
Joseph Finck. A-Senate member.
Jakubauskas said Sunday he
plans to attend Tuesday's
meeting.
The president missed the last
meeting because he had a "very
bad cold," said Clara Lee Moodie.
A-Senate chair and associate
professor of English.
Several faculty members on
the senate wanted to ask
Jakubauskas questions
regarding     the     University's
proposal to cut 38 full-time
equivalents.
Provost Robert Franke tried to
answer some of the questions,
but could not answer them in
detail because only Jakubauskas
could discuss the topic with
A-Senate, Franke said at the
meeting.
The next scheduled meeting is
Jan. 15, and senators did not
want to wait that long to hear
the details of proposed cuts.
"Individual senators will have
their own questions" at the
meeting,   said   Finck,   associate
hat
ask
professor of physics.
He    declined    to    say
questions    he    plans    to
Jakubauskas.
"I think the meeting will be
very crowded — a lot of faculty
members will want to hear what
the president has to say," Finck
said.
Four items from the last
meeting's agenda also were
postponed until Tuesday.

Student raped
while attending
apartment party
A CMU student told police she was raped while attending a party at
a Chippewa Village apartment late Friday night.
The incident was reported to Mount Pleasant City Police at 1:19 a.m.
Saturday, a police spokesman said. The woman did not immediately
report the incident.
The 19-year-old woman told police she was using the apartment's
bathroom when a man entered and committed first-degree criminal
sexual assault, the spokesman said. The woman did not lock the
bathroom door.
First-degree criminal sexual assault involves penetration.
The student told police "the man put something in me and did it and
it hurt," he said. She was uncertain what the man penetrated her
with.
The*- woman sought medical treatment at Central Michigan
Community Hospital. 1221 South Drive, he said.
She described the man as a white male about 5 feet 8 inches tall
with a slender build, the spokesman said.

side with long bangs, he said. The man was wearing dark colored
sweatpants and a colored shirt. The victim was not sure ofthe color of
his shirt. He did not have facial hair or glasses.
The incident's investigation is closed because the woman does not
wish to prosecute, the spokesman said.

Morning sickness
Late night study marathons
bring on stress-related ills
for some during exam week
by TAMMY PARKER
LlFr  Staff Wrier
Staying up until the wee hours
of the morning cramming for
finals is not uncommon for
college students.
And while some students find
positive results from last-minute
studying, others may develop
health problems.
"We expect stress-related
health problems during exam
week," said Mark Minelli,
manager of University Health
Advocacy Service.
"Stress may cause some ofthe
symptoms that look like the flu,
but the actual flu virus is different," said Penalope Cook,
associate director of medical
services at University Health
Services.
Not enough rest, and a lack of
food may cause symptoms
resulting in gastroenteritis.
Cook said. Symptoms may
include vomiting, dizziness,
chills or diarrhea.
Joyce Williams, assistant
professor in the Counseling
Center, said she sees a lot of
students this time of year with
stress-related problems.
Most of the stress results from
final exams and going home for
the holidays, she said.
SfTry to manage
your time well, try to
eat well, drink plenty
of liquids and get
plenty of  rest.
yyyy Joyce Williams
" 'My stomach's been aching. I
can't sleep and I'm having bad
heiidaches.' " are some of the
stress-related anxieties Williams
said students have.
UHS provides various
brochures to aid students with
ongoing stress-related problems,
Minelli said.
Some materials tell how to
prevent the problems, while
others deal with alleviating the
problem, he said.
Williams gave several suggestions for students facing
stressful situations.
"Try to manage your time well,
try to eat well, drink plenty of
liquids and get plenty of rest,"
she said. "Most importantly, do
not drink (alcohol)."
Ways to reduce strees include
monitoring sugar and caffeine
int:. ke, taking walks, running,
swimming, or going to a movie,
Williams said.
