Chippewa Battalion

Each fall the Chippewa Battalion, made up of Central Michigan University students, hold a field exercise to build on their military skill set. The weekend was planned and organized by the senior cadets and who designed it to prepare the underclassmen for the National Leader Development and Assessment Course which is conducted at Fort Lewis, Washington every summer.

Rodeo Drive

After six years of bull riding, Ian Mathes traded his boots for cleats and became a rodeo clown. Though his job is to protect the bull riders, he is often the one in danger. Mathes takes the job seriously, and with the support of his girlfriend, Dana, and the insight and pointers from Paul Skaggs, a friend and professional rodeo clown, he hopes to make it a career after college.
