THEGROWTHDF GREEN AND WHITE IV1SU welcomes record-liigh freshman class Navigating East Lansing on the weekend of Aug. 24 was no Sunday stroll, as the largest freshman class in MSU history injected new life into the campus. For the 2012-2013 school year, the Office of Admissions estimated that more than 7,800 students entered the dorms, which not only filled on-campus housing, but the streets of East Lansing as well. However, the populated paths of campus have not always been so crowded. On May 13, 1857, the primal version of the university opened its doors with only three build­ ings, five faculty members and 63 male students who studied a blend of science, liberal arts and practical training. Now, after 155 years, MSU has over 200 academic programs, 47,800 students and 2,954 faculty members. It is safe to say that formerly tiny agriculture college has grown. For alumnus Paul Pizzimenti, the expansion is quite clear. After Pizzimenti graduated in 1982, he watched his daughter Natalie Pizzimenti earn her undergraduate and master's degrees at MSU for physiology, allowing him to compare the two eras as a Spartan student. "Although the appearance of the campus has definitely changed, the values of the school have stayed consistent," Pizzimenti explained. “You meet your best friends in the close quar­ ters of dorm life, the person who works hard will get ahead and Cedar Village was definitely a party place back then and still is.", With the pressure of the massive freshman class, the state police marched onto campus for the first time, stirring up a lot of attention. According to a 2010 report by the MSU police, more than 3,000 alcohol violations have occurred in the last five years on campus alone. With more than 7,800 students entering onto campus, safety was a main concern. “I remember we would put couches in the back of our pickup trucks and tailgate, and burn them after the game," Pizzimenti recalled. “After that, they pretty much banned anyone from bringing couches." Alumnus Kurt Deuling, a former resident advi­ sor who graduated in 2011, knows firsthand the chaos Welcome Week dishes out. “Being at MSU for two summers, I have seen the instant energy that flows into the campus during the first week of move in; it's electric," Deuling said. “But due to the compact living, I have had lots of experience with late night police calls." A member of the record-breaking freshman class, Kristin Pebbles, recalled the abundance of flashing red and blue lights on her first nights in East Lansing. ¡■The cops were always out at night, so you definitely had to be careful," Pebbles said. Ill'However, you soon realize, it takes responsibil­ ity to be a Spartan." This responsibility is an obligation that is ingrained into the Spartan mindset and remains unchanged. It does not crumble like Morrill Hall but is only reinforced through years of experi­ ence and the growing number of students. “We are one community no matter how large we are," Pebbles said. “We are all together for the same reason." Despite the overwhelming population, encounters with the police or transforming envi­ ronment, the new Spartan recruits are part of the community, and should be welcomed with open arms. Police station themselves outside of Butterfield Hall in the Brody Neigh­ borhood. The MSU police called in reinforcement for welcome week due to the record influx of freshmen. The popular Meijer in Okemos welcomes students with green and white decorations. Moonlight Madness takes place each August to kick off the new school year,1 Freshman Erin Hollerback embraces her friend, freshman Andrew Poirier, as freshman Alex Balinski looks on. Moonlight Madness has become a way for students to socialize and reunite with friends. One thousand college students in one place guarantees a crazy atmosphere. One thousand college students in a grocery store, running around looking for the best deals, guarantees an atmo­ sphere of complete chaos. Add In a DJ, free food and a dance competition, and there's really only one way to describe it—madness. The annual Meijer Moonlight Madness event that took place on Aug. 28 was a night full of roommate bonding and bargain shopping set to the pace of the upbeat background music. After taking the free trip from campus offered by the special event CATA buses, students were welcomed to the Okemos Meijer by the mouth-watering smell of pizza and hot dogs. Some students rushed past to begin their shopping, but others lingered in the parking lot to eat and dance while a DJ hyped up the crowd. Inside, the store bustled with action— undoubtedly more than one would find there on an average Tuesday night. Aisle upon aisle was packed with students, either stocking up on groceries, decid­ ing which color curtains would look best in their new room or gathering school supplies. Other students sacrificed shop­ ping altogether and just attended for the giveaways and social entertainment. Sophomore Jessica Detering said it was her second year attending the event. "I came back for the free stuff, for sure," she said while moving her free cosmetics and pompoms Into a drawstring bag. "I think everybody can agree that it's the best part," Junior Alexa Burns said students expect the crowd at this event, "It's part of the experience," Burns said. "It's a college atmosphere, with the music and the food and the cheerlead­ ers. If there wasn't a bunch of people here, it wouldn't be as fun.4 Near the center of the store, the MSU Cheerleaders performed dance routines with the Sparty mascot and encouraged other students to join in. One hundred students doing the "wobble" dance in the middle of a Meijer may have seemed a bit odd, but Burns said she expected nothing less from the event. "Everybody's a little hyped up,fjBurns said. "It's the beginning of the school year* everybody's glad to be back in East Lansing and with their friends and we are all excited for another great year together." Sophomore Margaret Long was wait­ ing In one of the long lines at the store to complete her purchases, but she looked far from bored. "It's such an upbeat environment," Long said. "It's fun, It's energetic.'^ Like Burns, Long said that she would be disappointed if there were anything less than swarms of students in the building. "There's so many people because it's well known that college kids struggle with money," Long said. "So when some­ body says free food and good deals, you have to expect that people are going to flock and that they're going to be excited.ip Although the students jumping from the CATA bus may not have known exactly what they were getting for free or exactly how long they would spend dancing through aisles with cheerlead­ ers, one thing about this tradition Is cer­ tain—It is a night of complete, chaotic madness. Food samples are passed out to students in the park­ ing lot of Meijer. Along with the free samples, there were raffles, music and a DJ.

Campus Life 5'® qU mm Alumnus Dan Kerbel developed Spartan App, a free mobile program for East Lansing residents that makes it easier to navigate the many campus deals and steals. Students migrate to the banks of the Red Cedar River every year, but only a few get to impact the cur­ rent and future student body like Daniel Kerbel. Kerbel, an alumnus, is the creator of a new mobile application called Spartan App, which launched on Aug. 28 for the iPhone. The app is designed as a "moveable guide that helps students in college, and is a guide to living in East Lansing," he explained. Kerbel was born in Costa Rica and came to MSU in 2006 to study economics. As an international student, he had trouble locating his classes and finding event information when he arrived. After he graduated, Kerbel came up with an idea that would help all kinds of students find their way around campus and adjust to life at the university. He designed the application so that future students wouldn't have to go through many of the hardships he faced himself in navigating such a large campus and finding the hot places in East Lansing. Instagram^jsfacebook Twitter The app features 29 cab numbers, the CATA bus schedule, the Night Owl schedule, car rentals, cam­ pus events, restaurant listings, cafeteria menus, bar specials and a map of the campus and nearby ATMs, according to its website. Kerbel said the app is also under development to provide weekly updates of campus event informa­ tion. Word-of-mouth helps ideas travel quickly, and by Sept. 16, verbal buzz had spurred over 3,000 down­ loads of the Spartan App. This number exceeded Kerbel's initial expectations. He hopes the trend will continue for years to come. He said the group most receptive of the app has been underclassmen who are still getting oriented to the college community. Despite the easy-to-navigate layout and awesome features, the Spartan App wasn't without errors when It was released. When the app was in its testing phase, Kerbel put his number as one of the cabs so he could test the click- to-call feature. However, he forgot to remove the number—he received calls all weekend during the wee hours of the morning from students who wanted rides. Such hiccups haven't deterred users, however, The general buzz around the app has been quite positive. Senior Taylor Benson said the app was very helpful to him. ."I think it's so cool that it's localized," she said.^ Benson's favorite feature is the "campus pad" be­ cause it shows all of the events that are happening op campus. Because she lives off campus, she doesn't have access to event information like students who live on campus do. Junior Ben Burroughs said the app is very compre­ hensive. "The finished product is clean and professional," he said. "It included things that I wasn't even aware of. The wealth of Information it holds pertains to every facet of campus life, and is a truly vital tool for those who want an app concerning everything at MSU. It's an encyclopedia of MSU, and this app made it easily accessible," MSU can be overwhelming—for freshman stepping onto campus for the first time, for juniors in search of a fun Friday night, or for anyone curious about the university's happenings. By putting vital information together and shrinking it down to cell phone size, the Spartan App makes campus smaller too. m m A promotional flyer for the fifth annual Spartan Remix lies available for students to take. The event allowed the Council of Racial and Ethnic Students (CORES) and the Council of Progressive Students (COPS) to partner up and celebrate diversity on campus. RIOmT THE ROCK Spartan Remix draws in students for night of xnsisic and culture Rumbling In the distance gave stu­ dents who were walking along the Red Cedar River a clue as to the eve­ ning festivities of Sept, 6. As onlook­ ers edged closer to The Rock, they were greeted with the sight of large white tents crowded with wide-eyed students hungry to learn more about grilled hot dogs, the longboards on display, raffles and cultural opportu­ nities at MSU. In the past, Spartan Remix has served as both a welcome to stu­ dents and as a platform for cultural groups across campus to reach a massive, audience. enthusiastic Freshman Jordan Smith came to the event not knowing what to expect, but left saying she would urge others to come in the future. "(Spartan Remix) is really interesting with all of the different cultures pres­ ent^ Smith said. This year included numerous inter­ active elements, students gyrating to the thumping beats of today's hot­ test hits, learning and taking part in historical cultural traditions such as weaving and dancing. Junior Jordan Anderson described the event as being similar to Spar- ticipation, but with much more of an emphasis on culture. "This event is much more of a con­ centrated dose of cultural groups on campus," Anderson said. Nick Morsaw, a volunteer with the North American Indigenous Student Organization (NAISO), said the group was there to promote indigenous cultural traditions. NAISO members taught spectators Native Ameri­ can weaving techniques and en­ gaged them with related trivia. Mor­ saw was wearing national Native American garb—colorful hues of blue and pink draped atop warm oak and timber-colored feathers. The event was sponsored by numer­ ous campus groups, including the Of­ fice of Cultural and Academic Transi­ tions (OCAT) and LGBT organizations. During the festivities, OCAT aides rushed the stage, throwing shirts into a crowd of students hungry for swag. While students hurried from tent to tent, music blared from the central stage. Prestigious members of the Spartan community, such as Presi­ dent Lou Anna K. Simon, spoke about the importance of diversity and cul­ ture on campus. In addition to the theme of cultural diversity, the event was filled with its share of silly moments—including when students, along with a bright orange tiger, gathered to perform the "wobble" dance. When asked what the most important aspect of Spartan Remix was, the tiger, from the Asian Pacific American Student Organization (APASO), replied with intense silence, as if to say everything around him was important. One of Spartan Remix's biggest attractions was the longboard give­ away sponsored by Action Board Sports. The business was founded over a year ago by alumni Jim Mac­ Gregor and Peter Croce, who said they looked forward to attending the event in the years to come. "Skateboarding always brings a diverse crowd and really crosses all boundaries," MacGregor said, During the event, the trickle of students leaving was heavily out­ weighed by the constant stream of fresh-faced visitors. Long after the sun had set behind Erickson Hall, students flooded past The Rock and headed into the valley near the Auditorium. Whether students attended for cul­ tural opportunities or to get free t- shirts and raffle prizes, Spartan Remix successfully kicked off the semester, even if everyone was forced to do the "wobble" an infinite number of times. Students were given the opportunity to paint self- expressive messages on a banner for Spartan Remix. The colorful banner fit the event's theme j'What's YourKik?", which celebrated cultural and artistic expression.

Rang­ ing from the dignified, ivy-covered brick institutions brim­ ming with history to the chic, modern learning and living centers of today, all of these structures play a huge role in shaping the lives of students. This role is not easily de­ ciphered, as the mortar foundations and steel beams are incapable of telling their own story. However, Wells Hall proves that a building can in fact speak—in this case through the myriad of languages articulated by its cultur­ ally diverse inhabitants. Two years after construction first began, MSU Administra­ tors and the Board of Trustees hosted a reopening of Wells Hall on Sept. 7. This event gave alumni, donors, faculty and students alike an opportunity to learn more about the fa­ cility's features and how they will improve the education of students. "I am pretty sure I have spent more time here than I have in my own dorm room," said Madison Boden, a senior and Chinese major, in Wells Hall where she attends many of her classes, As a member of the 2012 Homecoming Court and the College of Arts and Letters, Boden submitted a speech and was selected as the student speaker at the ceremony. "I wanted to pay homage to the faculty and students I have encountered," she said, "They have really shaped my experience here and I would be nowhere without them." ,t When the speeches were finished, the ribbon was cut and the expansive three-story addition above the B-wing was opened for tours. It is elegant and bright, with a multi­ tude of open corridors and windows that offer terrific views of Spartan Stadium and the Red Cedar River. It includes new offices that house the many departments of the Col­ lege of Arts and Letters, bringing this variety of cultures into one central location for better collaboration and develop­ ment. These groups include the Department of Linguistics, Second Language Studies, the Department of Religious Studies, the Jewish Studies Program, and the Department of Romance and Classical Studies, to name a few. "We knew that language instruction and acquisition would be more important in the 21st century than the 20th, and we wanted to be in a position of leadership as we have been throughout much of our history," said Presi­ dent Lou Anna K. Simon. "We made plans and decided on this very cost-effective yet very functional building." The Center for Language Education and Research (CLEAR), which aims to keep language educators on the cutting edge throughout the country, is another group now housed within the facility. Their new central location has allowed them to broaden their outreach, explained CLEAR Executive Associate Director Joy Campbell. "There are still improvements we could make, but we are definitely on the right track. The need for people in this country to be bilingual has been recognized," Campbell said. In addition to CLEAR, new research labs have been opened within the facility to explore topics such as how eye movement is involved in reading text and how first languages are acquired. They are a great opportunity for undergraduate students to get more involved in research and an example of how technology was used in the de­ sign to advance student learning. "I always consider if we can deliver not only a prod­ uct for today but a product for tomorrow, and I think this has done that," President Simon said. "This is difficult with economic constraints, but you do have to move forward because this university is going to be here 100 years from now. People who come here deserve the best education we can provide." For the ceremony, representatives from the various cul­ tural divisions now located in Wells Hall were stationed in rooms to answer questions and give insight. They wore au­ thentic costuming: colorful Turkish scarves, African animal- print garments and hand-crafted jewelry, Together, these created a beautiful rainbow of tolerance symbolic of the renovation's aim at globalization. "We are created to learn and speak languages; that is what makes us human," said Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Kim A, Wilcox during his speech. "Lan­ guage is the connection for people around the world, This is a space where humanities and language can connect."

"I love the fact that there is a flavor for every Big Ten school we've visited thus far," Fisher said, "especially Capitol City Sundae—that was my favorite." The palate was not the only aspect of MSU covered by Tailgate 48; it also delved into how Dairy Store products are created. "It's refreshing that they use dairy from cows in the im­ mediate area," Curry said. "It's an all-campus integrated experience and definitely creates a tradition with an au­ thentic flair." The Dairy Store is an experience that continues to draw people in from across the state of Michigan—from alumni to fresh Spartans. Although Mccallum only recently became an employ­ ee, she is already one of those many ice cream connois- seurs. "The MSU Dairy Store ice cream is absolutely delicious, and after my older sister got me the job here I've tried a lot of the flavors," Mccallum said. "Also, I've learned a lot." One rumor she learned and later debunked is that the Dairy Store ice cream cannot be sold off campus due to its high fat content. However, despite the fact that the Dairy Store uses whole milk, it is working on expanding its product range throughout the state. "Take that, Baskin Robbins," Fisher exclaimed proudly. Now, thanks to Tailgate 48, the Dairy Store can broad­ cast its deliciousness beyond the tummies of Spartans, tailgaters and ice cream addicts and into the eyes of Big Ten Network viewers and, in time, spread the renowned delicacy into the mouths of all Michiganders. MSU is defined not only by the diverse student body, distinguished professorial staff and scenic campus, but by the flavorful traditions as well, Every year, fans flock to campus for Spartan football, the Izzone experience and the atmosphere of East Lansing, but on Sept. 14, a crowd came to enjoy a solid yet creamy part of the MSU legacy—the Dairy Store. The Dairy Store is not just a place where people can satisfy their sweet-tooth cravings. Whether some choose Death By Chocolate, devour Maize 'N' Berry or even in­ dulge in Sesquicentennial Swirl, the Dairy Store serves as a place of instruction, research and educational exten­ sion for the dairy food industry. The undergraduate and graduate programs of food science and human nutrition in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources have access to the Dairy Store's latest technology and equip­ ment In order to prepare them for career pursuits in the dairy and food industry. For freshman Sarah Mccallum, an employee at the Dairy Store, the popularity of the various ice cream fla­ vors is evident each shift. "We not only have a bunch of different flavors that are interesting, such as Husker's Sweet Corn, but flavors that represent all the Big Ten schools," Mccallum said. "It's a great environment because so many people come in and out throughout the day." On Sept. 14, the regular crowd expanded further when the Big Ten Network's "Tailgate 48" rolled in for a taste of the famed Dairy Store. "Tailgate 48" is a show that dives into Big Ten campuses through a 48-hour tour of the traditions, ceremonies and game day buzz that surrounds and filters into the confer­ ence's stadiums. The Dairy Store is a popular campus attrac­ tion for students and the community with its large selection of specialty ice cream flavors. Flavors include classics like vanilla and chocolate but expand further to flavors themed after each university in the Big Ten conference. Students enjoy learning new line dance moves at one of the first fall University Activities Board (UAB) events. The UAB was the first student organization to be estab­ lished at MSU in 1916.1 Freshmen Chelcie Gilliard and Megan Altizer take a rest between learning the dif­ ferent line dances. The most popular line dance of the night was the Tush Push! Sophomore Samantha Malloy and freshman Alyssa Bellinger bust out some moves at the "So You Think You Can Line Dance?" event hosted by UAB. Bellinger is trained profession­ ally in Pointe and ballet. The clack of boots and the swaying of hips greeted visitors who were looking for a taste of country flair. The International Center's cafeteria was drastically transformed for the event on Sept. 21; Subway sand­ wiches and tables full of busy students were replaced by cowboy-hat-wearing denim enthusiasts, stepping away to classic and modern country hits. The event was "So You Think You Can Line Dance?", hosted by the University Activities Board (UAB). The event aimed at showing students that there were fun activities on campus that didn't have to end in a puddle of vomit and regrettable text messages. Once everyone got settled in, Shelley Thomas of the Platinum Dance Academy got the ball rolling. The direction calls of rock, step, cha-cha-cha guided the excitable yet sheepish group into the first dance, the Cowboy Cha-cha. Like bright-eyed middle school boys dancing with girls for the first timó—the first few minutes were slightly awkward. However, once the steps had music to accompany them the dancers really got into the swing of things. It was as if the floors had morphed; the bleached tiles of the International Center became the stray matted floors of an old fashioned barn. "I've always wanted to learn how to line dance," junior Kathleen Riley said. "It's good clean fun—a lot better than having to deal with drunk people all night," she added as her friends giggled in agree­ ment. Caramel and donut crumbs fell to the floor as danc­ ers took breaks to re-energize themselves before stepping back into line to learn more complicated dances such as the Tush Push and the Shimmy Step. Autumn-colored stage lights illuminated the dark­ ened background as dancers grew more confident in their moves. Twists, turns and even the occasional "Yee-haw!" were heard emanating from the crowd. Patrons loudly celebrated their favorite country art­ ists Brooks and Dunn and Brad Paisley. Freshman Alexis Silber said she had no prior line dancing experience, but really got invested in the whole experience. "It's really cool," Silber said, "everyone should come check it out, especially If you are into dancing." The gentlemen that attended the event found themselves in a positive girl-to-guy ratio for perhaps the first time ever on a Friday night. Even spectators, perhaps too shy to get down to the twangy tunes, socialized with their denim and flannel wearing compatriots. Patrick Galizio, a freshman volunteer with UABI said that while he hasn't ever been interested in line dancing before, the event peaked his curiosity, Galizio and another UAB volunteer, freshman Chris Joseph, intermediately poured cider for parched patrons and threw down some steps of their own, albeit from a safe location behind the refreshments table. As the music quieted and the dancers flapped their hats in a desperate plea for air, the line danc­ ing winded down. Even though residents would have to return to their cold and calculating college lives, for a brief evening they were fully embraced in the warmth of down-home fun. Campus Life c O Q 3 rj 3'
