Nearly 7,000 new students joined our ranks of over 34,000 un- dergraduates to share the life that we live here, in East Lansing at MSU. We were here for the same purpose, although we achieved it in many dif­ ferent ways. We benefited from the unique aspects of our university: the extra help, more flexible classes and top-notch professors. We explored and delighted in the peaceful beauty that is our campus, together. We mm discussed the ideas with fellow stu­ dents and faculty. Some were widely discussed, others mattered only to a few, but all were were important. ¿v uc?e>hOT lights another’^ candle at the vigil held after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Fans were also dazzled with a laser light show between periods. 12 One Life Alissa Snella A joke that started six years ago between ice hockey coach Ron Mason and an assistant coach turned into a hockey game with the largest attendance in history. The “Cold War,” matching teams from Michigan State University and the University of Michigan, broke the record for the highest atten­ dance at a hockey game. With 74,554 people in the stands, the “Cold War” broke the previous attendance record of 55,000. The number of fans present at the game was almost 10 times the amount of the hockey team’s normal crowd. For Mason, it was a once in a lifetime experience. “The crowd was an unbelievable sight,” he said. “It felt like we were playing in a national championship.” No preference freshman Duncan Keith said the size of the crowd did not surprise him. “It was a chance to become apart of history and take in a very unusual and memorable experience,” he said. The night began for the Spartans when finance senior Adam Hall took a pass from no preference freshman James Slater and made State’s first goal. “It was a chance to become a part of history and take in a very unusual and memorable expe­ rience.” — No preference freshman Duncan Keith It was Hall’s first goal of the season. “I just tried to get a shot off as quick as I could,” Hall said. “It was one of the greatest moments of my life.” At the end of the first period, the score was tied 1 -1.

It’s just an overall good time, especially when MSU wins the football game!” 14 One Life Alissa Snella Tailgating 15 Coming Home B By Valentina Halimin Spartan spirit abounded as Homecoming Week descended upon cam­ pus this year. For some, homecoming means a football game, but campus comes alive with many other events during the week-long celebration. From the kickoff concert by Ludacris to the giant outdoor ice cream sundae to the parade, there was something for everyone. The Associated Students of Michigan State University brought multi-plati­ num hip hop artist Ludacris to the Auditorium Thursday night to start it all off. “It was awesome!” fisheries and wildlife junior Holly Campbell said. She attended the show with two friends, all of whom are Ludacris fans. The Dairy Store employees continued their tradition of building a gigantic ice cream sundae. They used more than 400 gallons of ice cream outside the Dairy Store on the corner of Farm Lane and Wilson Road. They began building it at 2 p.m. Friday. By 2:40 p.m., the construction was complete and it was ready to be served. “I came because it tastes good and it’s free,” said international business freshman Francois Berranen. As some finished their ice cream they headed to Grand River Avenue to watch the parade, headed by alumni and actor Anthony Heald. Parade partici­ pants and watchers had the chance to see this star of Fox Television’s “Boston Public” up close, as well as see the floats submitted by student organizations, academic departments, Greek chapters and community interests, among others. The Association of Students for Career Opportunities in Telecommunica­ tions entered a float this year. “This is the first year ASCOT was involved in the Homecoming Parade, and we were thrilled to see the massive turnout,” telecommunication senior and ASCOT Chairperson Bethany LaVoie said.

Qian Li, a chemistry graduate student, and Yu Sun, an electrical engineering graduate student, said that their booth for the Chinese Student and Scholar Association was very popular because visitors could have their names written in Chinese.

Some changes in the 2001-01 kcademic year were the completion of the Trowbridge Road entrance, the addition of a new multilevel parking structure on Red Cedar Road and the completion of the new Biomedical and Physical Science Building, on the northeast corner of Wilson Road and Farm Lane. Students who commute to campus were especially happy with the convenience of a ne\B^HBH» 1 campus. Elementary education junior Karyn Rabourn said, “I like the Trowbridge entrance. I come to the Trowbridge exit.

But students are already excited about it. “I’ve actually been in the new building and it’s really, really nice,” human biology and criminal justice freshman Grant Humerickhouse said. “I can see all the way to the ceiling of the third floor when I walk in. It’s really open.” A quick look around campus reveals that new construction and improvements continue every day, as the university works to keep its almost 200 year old campus functional in the 21st century.

I was sitting there with big eyes and a blank face. I was totally computer illiterate. The students helped me a lot,” she said. Hunt, now asocial work and psychology senior, was originally at MSU in 1982 for a year, when she was 26. She said that she decided to come back to college because she was disabled and wanted to get back into the workforce, but she wanted to do something where she could use her mind. In order to do this, she said that she had to be educated. “I think MSU has changed,” Hunt said. “I feel a lot more comfortable at MSU now at at 26. At 26, I felt really old and out of place.

Also, getting to know the faculty was great,” she said. Hunt said she is looking forward to graduation in May. She has even applied to the master’s program in social work at MSU.

Having non-stop computer access allows students to get this information anytime,” she said. The requirement states that each student must possess either a laptop or a desktop computer, equipped with a system that permits the use of web-based instructional and electronic library materials and has network access capabilities of at least ten million bytes per second One key argument for the imposition of a requirement is the issue of technology in society. Computers play a central role in all aspects of today’s life, and it is important that students have experience with computers, according to Dillon. “It is critical for graduates to be knowledgeable about computers, going into today job market,” she said.

This Virtual University offers classes via the Internet or on television. These courses give students, both in the traditional sense and others, the opportunity to take university courses from remote locations. The Virtual University caters to a diverse group of people, from high school students trying to get a head start on their bachelor’s degree, to retirees’ wishing to study a new language. While most classes are through university departments for credit, the option of an Evening College course exists. The Evening College offers courses on nights and weekends, not for credit, but for personal enrichment. These courses are open to students of every age, regardless of educational background. Many students are opting to take virtual courses, with positive results. “I feel I learned physics just as well on-line as on campus,” English senior Catherine Ricard said. She took Physics II through the Virtual University in the fall of 1999. In addition to individual classes, some degree and certificate programs are offered through entirely virtual coursework. Among these are a Computer Aided Design Certificate, a master’s degree in criminal justice and master’s and doctorate degrees in beam physics. Carl Lira, a professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering, is currently teaching a virtual course in chemical engineering. “While I enjoy this course, I think the advantages differ from department to department,” he said. “My course is one that not many universities offer, and this allows easy delivery to students at other universities.” Virtual classes are still a relatively new concept, but they are gaining popularity. “My students all say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages,” Lira said. “While I enjoy this course, 1 thinkthe advantages dill fer from department to department.

The university’s tuition guarantee was repealed in 2002, amidst danger that state funding for the school could be drastically reduced. The guarantee, issued in December 1994, stated raises in tuition would be kept at or below the projected inflation rates. By Elizabeth Peterson ■a Katie McCune On July 9, 2001, the MSU Board of Trustee members voted for a tuition School officials said the increase was necessary because of high utility and health care increase of 8.9 percent. This was the largest increase since the 1993-94 school year. costs and a low 1.5 percent amount of funding from the state. “The increase doesn’t really bother me,” said communications freshman Maureen Gillespie. “The better education is worth it.” She did feel, however, that the increase put a strain on her to find more money. Gillespie said she has found it hard to have a job and find time to study. Along with the vote to increase the tuition, the board also voted to suspend the tuition guarantee. The guarantee promised the tuition would not be increased greater than the projected rate of inflation. Students would feel better about the tuition increase if they knew what the money went toward, said elementary education freshman Megan Locey. “ (The tuition hike) wouldn’t bother me as much if I knew where the extra money was going, ” she said. “But I don’t, and that is frustrating.” e k i H n o i t i u T 38 One Purpose A-CA/E>f*)T l^lM^r sophomore Paul McGee buys a textbook from classmate and advertising sopho­ more Andy Coveil.

But, with tuition, room and board, books and other expenses, it may not be fea­ sible. However, with the Study Abroad Program, stu­ dents can travel to their dream places while earning college credits. With over 150 academic programs, the Office of Study Abroad has opportunities for college students to study and travel on six continents. Students can study in two-week, six-week, semester programs or even for an academic year in over 50 countries. James Madison College, a residential college lo­ cated in Case Hall, required that each student take either a study abroad trip or complete field experi­ ence. Many Madison students decided on the study abroad option. According to the Associate Dean of James Madison College Dr. Norman Graham, the university’s goal for students who completed a ^substantial study abroad trip” before graduation was 40 percent. James Madi­ son College was the only college where that goal was exceeded with 59 percent of students completing a study abroad experience. “The Madison programs count toward (students’) majors in a significant way. They’re taking courses with a different slant. Our students who go to Cam­ bridge are studying British political theory and race relations in Europe,” Graham said. International relations and chemistry junior Zack Behler was one student who went on the Cambridge study abroad trip. He spent four weeks studying Euro­ pean integration, command economies and war econo­ mies. The learning style in Cambridge was distinctly dif­ ferent from MSU’s learning style, according to Behler. “Your whole grade is one paper, and you have indi­ vidual meetings with your professor about your pa­ per,” he said. “It is almost like an independent study with lectures, but you’re graded on how well you wrote the paper.” The Cambridge Program varied from other Madi­ son study abroad trips because the student was actu­ ally enrolled in the university, rather than sitting in guest lectures and being graded by a Madison profes­ sor.® Behler also had the opportunity to travel to Ireland, Scotland, Prague and Brussels for five weeks after his Study Abroad Program, which was an enriching expe­ rience as well.

I’m very committed to social transformation and the creation of a society where all have access to the material assets,” Dr. Geneva Smitherman said, describing her ultimate goal for life. Smitherman has been a professor at MSU since 1989. She has taught courses covering language used in the African-American community, and occasionally taught graduate courses in language planning and policy. African-American language, according to Smitherman, is different from other dialects of English because it has incorporated features of African languages, and has also influenced mainstream culture throughout American history. She was commended with the honor of “University Distinguished Professor” in 2001 because of her many educational and social accomplishments. Smitherman has written five books, including “Black Talk: Words and Phrases from the Hood to the Amen Corner.” “I think (my) books on language especially inform people about a complex issue in a noncomplex way,” Smitherman said. “Linguistics and dialects are reorganized to be accessible to reach a wider audience.” She also created the My Brother’s Keeper program for African-American boys in Detroit public schools in 1990 and has continued to head it. “Through the program, we have been able to raise the potential of male students to be educated,” Smitherman said. This program pairs up MSU students with young boys in a mentoring program, thereby influencing the college students as well, as the younger students. “An unintended consequence built into the program was how it gave MSU students a sense of how they can be useful to the communities that gave birth to them,” she said. The honor of being recognized as a “University Distinguished Professor” has not only made Smitherman feel privileged, but has given her an added responsibility to her students and the university. “I see my teaching as away to deliver a message. It’s not knowledge for the sake of knowledge, but knowledge to transform society into equality for all people,” she said. 48 One Purpose Mike Newstead Geneva Smitherman 49 Lorena Blinn ad­ dresses her Interdisci­ plinary Social Biology 204 class.

She has helped many non­ science majors learn more about biology through interdisciplinary social biology courses. Julie Dawes Lorena B linn By Elizabeth Peterson A teacher is someone who has the ability to help, to be a role model and to change lives. This is exactly what professor Lorena Blinn has been doing for 38 years. She currently teaches Interdisciplinary Social Biology 204, a science course for non-majors that are interested in learning more about science. However, because of Blinn, students are finding the course to be interesting and well worth their time and money. This is because of the time Blinn takes to make a difference for each of her students. “Everybody can learn, each individual is unique and learn in their own way,” Blinn said. In her approach to teaching, Blinn tries to find out how each student is handling his or her own experience and the best way to help them. Of her time at MSU, Blinn said she is most proud of developing a course that students can relate to and find a purpose. “I enable students to think about things in new ways. I attempt to change their attitudes of what they are capable of,” she said. Blinn enjoys teaching geology, applications of bio-medical studies and the basic concept of biology with a medical slant so students are able to better understand and deal with situations that may occur in their lives. Due to her teaching, students that have taken her class have been positively affected, according to Blinn. She said students who were originally non-science majors have come back to her as teaching assistants. Blinn said many students have gone on to do wonderful things as science teachers, medical students, and more. “I love what I do, and I love learning as much as I do,” she said.

He finds every aspect of his job, the researchhe does and the community projects Luster currently teaches Family and Child Ecology 211 and has worked for MSU since 1985. He became an official professor in 1996, although for 11 years before that he acted as an assistant and associate professor. “I have very good students,” Luster said. “They are (mostly) people who genuinely care about children.” Luster grew up in a small town called Lansing, only this Lansing was in Iowa. Jokingly he commented that it was “fate” that he came to the Lansing area in Michigan. A week after graduating from the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in social science education, Luster married his wife Carol, and they moved to New York so he could attend Cornell University. During his years at the prestigious Cornell, he earned a master’s and doctorate degree in developmental psychology. It was after this that Luster and his wife came to MSU. Since he has become a Spartan, Luster said he divides his time between his two children, Anna and Ben, his responsibilities to his classes, his community projects and research. “I could spend 100 percent of my time on any of my activities, ” Luster said. “All of them could easily become full-time jobs.” One project that Luster takes pride in is for the Lost Boys of Sudan. During a civil war in Sudan, which has been going on for decades, many children, especially boys, were forced out of their homes and away from their families in Sudan. They traveled to refugee camps in Ethiopia, and then went to Kenya. These boys spent the majority of their lives without families and were resettled in the United States last March, according to Luster. He said nearly 4,000 of these boys are nowin the United States, and about 130 live in the Lansing area. Along with many other community members, Luster and his familygias been mentoring and helping the refugees become adjusted to life in America. Students from MSU have also participated on Tuesday nights at a local church. On these nights, the boys socialize with the students and one another. They also learn and have fun with their mentors. Luster said it is a time for the boys to “really connect with one another.” He said he still meets with the boys his family mentors as much as his busy schedule will allow. Tom Luster lectures during his 2002 s pring semester child growth and development class.

Marijuana: Should it be legalized? It’s true that there are a lot of pressures students face coming to college. The inevitable keggers get first­ time drinkers smashed. A smoky coffee shop tempts you to pick up a cigarette. Drugs, especially marijuana, are prevalent on college campuses and though there are many people against it, there are many pros as to why one might take up smoking pot for recreational purposes. After all, there has to be a reason that thousands of students have tried pot at least once. First of all, smoking weed is fun. There’s a great social-H ization factor; there’s hardly a frat or house party without a joint floating around. If pot were so bad, then why would so many people be doing it? It’s a good way to make friends and connections, as well as relaxing and unwinding on the weekend. T ike alcohol, pot (or anything) can be dangerous for you if you over do it, but smoking in moderation can be a good alternative to drinking. You don’t hear anything about people getting in fights or having car accidents from weed. No one has ever died from it. Most smokers just mellow out; the anger that can come out of drunkenness is absent. It’s an overall happier feeling. Plus, no hangovers. Try saying that after a night at the bar. There’s also the euphoric feeling that weed brings— same as liquor—that uninhibited and relaxed feeling that many crave. It makes you feel light and happy, food tastes better and dumb jokes seem funnier. If something can make cafeteria food taste better, then what’s the harm? Taking all of these positive factors into consideration, it seems that such a drug would be more socially acceptable. Of course, the downfall ■ iiiii MICHIGAN state to pot is that it’s illegal. That doesn’t seem to stop many people from accessing it easily. Legal­ ization of marijuana is a much-heated debate, but it comes down to the fact that it’s a drug. Think of the medicinal effects to those suffering from cancer or long term illnesses. It can also be helpful in treating headaches, stomachaches and other pains. Pot is proven not addictive, like other drugs, and doesn’t have to be a “gateway” drug to more dangerous substances. It’s up to the user. If weed is used responsibly, it can be very therapeutic. By Sarah Brownlow 56 One Idea The legalization of marijuana is one of the most highly discussed and debated topics in America today. It is my belief that marijuana should for no reason be legalized. The most controversial reason for legalization is whether or not mari­ juana is medically helpful. When looking at studies and reports, there is no actual proof that marijuana does in fact help the sick. The organizations that do support the legalization of marijuana, and claim to have evidence that proves marijuana is a successful form of medicine, are organizations such as the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and The Drug Policy Foundation. These organizations have little knowledge in medicine and the studies they perform have been found to be unscientific and poorly researched. It has also been proven that those who do the studies and claim to be medical experts are not experts at all. One so called expert ended up being a counselor at a health spa and the only reason he called himself an expert is because he had done every type of illegal drug he could find. Another had claimed that there were numerous studies that proved marijuana was an effective medicine, but when put under oath and asked how many studies there were that actually proved the effectiveness of marijuana he said, “I would doubt very few.” The fact is advocates for marijuana are giving false information to the American population in an attempt to find a reason to legalize the drug. This drug is not recommended or approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the American Medical Association or the American Cancer Society to help any illness. Another approach to legalizing marijuana is the claim that it doesn’t pose a threat to the health of its user. There are thousands of studies, factual studies, which indicate the many negative effects smoking marijuana has. Some of the physi­ ological effects indicated in these studies include short­ term memory loss, laziness, addiction, impairment of coordi­ nation and perception, depression, low self­ esteem and increased aggressiveness. Some physical effects are airway injuries, immune system problems and the ability to reproduce. In a study conducted by the Stanford Medical School, pilots who smoked one joint were impaired 24 hours later even though they felt they could function normally. By Elizabeth Peterson It is a fact that while under the influence of marijuana one may do things they would not normally do, and that includes injuring themselves and others. Weed 571 At holds a marijuana leaf in his hand. Marijuana was a common drug of choice for students. People had mixed opinions of whether or not weed should be legalized. Gregory Kalinowski BURN I am an American. And as an American, there are certain rights I am guaranteed, rights that I have probably taken for granted in my lifetime, as have many other Americans. Besides the basics (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, etc.), one right that is protected by the Bill of Rights is that American citizens may freely criticize the government so long as that criticism contains no threat to any member of that government. This guarantee sets us far apart from most other nations in the world. In our not so long history as a nation, this right has been invoked, and protected, many times. And in the throes of these criticisms, flags have been burned. At some of American history’s most important impasses, groups of citizens have underlined their words with this symbolic act. For many, the “Stars and Stripes” is an important national symbol. It represents the unity of our wide­ spread, diverse nation. It is a symbol under which our freedom was won and under which citizens continue to fight for our freedom. It is also a symbol under which we, as Ameri- BURN By Aubrae Filipiak cans, have persecuted and discrimi­ nated against groups of people based on gender and ethnicity. Some of these groups, American citizens all, have fought back. They have fought for their freedom within the guaranteed freedoms of America. In their struggles, they have made an important political comment by burning a flag. If those 50 stars and 13 stripes represent America, then a burning flag repre­ sents our country, engulfed by the flames of inequality, prejudice and controversy, a state in which we have been many times in our brief history. "T¿7 or not to burn ; that is the question. In the wake of Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks, the issue of patriotism and loyalty to one’s country exploded in mainstream society. Central to this were ideas about the treatment of and respect for the Ameri­ can flag. 58 One lde EXTINGUISH------- -----------—FIAMES Fifty white stars on a field of damage the Statue of Liberty, especially since her raised torch and head held high have come to symbolize the proud, undefeatable nature of our country. blue, and 13 stripes, alternating red and white. It could be anything, from a spatter of graffiti on a train car to a doodle in a notebook. Yet to any American, this design means so much more. Now imagine it consumed by flames, destroyed in the spirit of hatred and anger. To bring things even closer to home, think of Sparty. For years, stalwart students have guarded the ceramic statue during important sporting events, wary of marauders from rival schools trying to deface our very own symbol of pride in East Lansing. It would be a long, difficult search to find the MSU student who would not mind if Sparty were painted maize and blue. All objects of symbolic nature should be given their due respect. Whether a statue on a college campus or a beacon welcoming immigrants to the new world, no one has the right to disrespect something others hold sacred. As long as this is “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” and the stars and stripes still wave over it, it is essential that our flag be treated with reverence and dignity by all the people who are able to enjoy the wonderful land that it represents. By Heidi Jury “God bless America,” “let freedom ring” and “united we stand” are common phrases now, and politicians crow about how America has pulled together after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to form an even stronger nation than before. But how united can we as Americans stand if we do not agree on how our symbol should be treated? After the destruction of the World Trade Center, another national symbol, Americans took solace in the fact that, as Francis Scott Key wrote, “Our flag was still there.” If flag burning is allowed to continue, however, our flag will not still be there. It will not be much more than a pile of ash, ground into the sidewalk like an old cigarette. It has been argued that forbidding flag burning would be breaching the right to freedom of speech and self- expression guaranteed by the First Amendment in the U.S. Constitution. To put this into perspective, however, consider another American symbol - the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty was standing watch when the first plane sheared through the World Trade Center tower, and stood there still when the smoke finally cleared, a powerful reminder that our country may have been made to stumble, but cannot be made to fall. No true American would wish to SAIAR¥CHANGE Hike it I■f There are lots of decent college basketball coaches. Most of their teams are also fairly decent. There are some coaches who are legendary, whose teams are championship winners year after year. And there are also com msusparta the coaches who are good human beings, who value their players for what they bring to the game as a person—not just as point-scoring robots. Many of the coaches who win championships get paid incredible amounts. Sadly, though, not all of them deserve this simply because their game winning tactics don’t include the importance of kindness. To them, it is important to win at all costs. This can mean horrible treatment of players—a kind of behind-the-scenes verbal abuse that a good deal of fans would not condone. MSU is lucky to have a coach with his heart in the right place. Tom Izzo has proven he can take a team all the way, as evidenced by the Spartans' national championship season in 2000. But more than bringing home trophies, Izzo has consistently earned the respect and love of his players and fans. I saw Izzo at an MSU hockey game with his wife and two children this year. He was surrounded by people— children, students and adults who were well-wishers, fans and autograph seekers. The coach greeted each of these people with a smile and a friendly hello, giving each person his full attention and not once appearing annoyed, inconvenienced or bored. He was gracious enough to take time out from what was obviously a family activity —a service to the fans that many coaches would deem below them. To me, that Izzo can produce a good basketball team is secondary to the fact that he can produce a happy one. He deserves to be paid well for what he does.

Julie Dawes Keepin' it i < 1 A day in the life of Tom Izzo goes something like this: get up, go to the office, watch game films, go to lunch, organize notes from game films, watch grown men run around a basketball court, shout directions at said adults, go home. And for this he gets a $200,000 raise?! As if the $Sl million he was earning previously is not enough? 1 v n Outsiders keeping up on recent university news would be justified in thinking that it is in dire financial straits. Tuition was raised almost 9 percent in 2001, and we are facing another 8.5 percent for 2002 because the university needs money. But there’s always more for the athletic department. The athletic department budget is separate from that of the university, and for this reason it is possible to pay a coach (the athletic equivalent of a professor) over $1 million each year while the average professor makes around $90,000. The budgets are separate because three sports, men’s basketball, football and ice hockey, create the revenue to fund the majority of the athletic department. These funds are generated through ticket and merchandise sales. But who buys these tickets? Students and alumni purchase the majority of the season ticket packages, people who are loyal to the Spartans because they attended the university. And all the merchandise, not to mention the uniforms of the teams, have the name of the university emblazoned on them. The university, that poor institution without which there would be no athletic department, owns that money that is thrown at Izzo year after year. No one entity within this university deserves so much more money that anyone else, especially someone who’s work affects such a small, almost inconsequential percentage of the university population. After all, only about 20 students are here because of our basketball team. ByAubrae Filipiak Salary Hike 61 e ■ Make CHOICE Choice. Our nation was built on the freedom to choose your own way of life: your career, your car, your clothes, your house and your significant other. Every day we have certain liberties thanks to people like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Those liberties have been expounded upon since their adoption in 1787, and today we have many freedoms of which people in other countries can only dream. One freedom of choice that has been under fire since time immemorial, however, is a woman’s right to choose what to do with her body. Abortion, only made legal with the Supreme Court deci­ sion Roe v. Wade, is still under fire some 30 years later. For a woman in a dire situation, an abortion is the only glimmer of hope. She may have no family or boyfriend to support her emotionally, and perhaps financially, through a pregnancy. Maybe an adoption is out of the question for her because once she gives birth to the baby, she would not be able to give it up. Being pregnant could be fatal to heriOr, she could have been raped, and she could not be emotionally strong enough to give birth to the child stemming from such a horrible act., Many opponents of abortion believe that abortion is the systematic and sanctioned murder of a child. However, with the way abortion has been legalized, an abortion cannot be performed after the first trimester. In the first trimester, the fetus is not a baby. A baby is a small human, a sentient being. A fetus, not even three months old, is not sentient. Some opponents say abortion should only be tolerated under circumstances of rape or incest, or when the mother’s life is in danger. But, I believe this is extremely hypocritical. Why is an abortion murder in one case and tolerable in another? These people are really advocating the pro-choice point of view and have not realized it yet. By Lindsay Willet |62One Id« mm ifw itii — I i*| Ill ■ ■Iiii IflMlHii ■ mm ¡111 " T T " a r e many forms of abortion, the “coat hanger” method is perhaps the most infamous. Feelings were very strong on campus for both the pro-choice and the pro-life sides of the argument. No one's—,—,----------- choice ----------------TO MAKE When most people think of the term pro-life the first misconception is that the concept simply means anti abortion. This may be the mdst widely debated and argued topic concerning those who favor and oppose abortion, but there are innumerable other issues that pro­ life supporters discuss. This article will touch upon three of those: abortion, the death penalty and euthanasia. Putting aside the general and most known argument against abortion, that it is taking the life of an unborn baby, let’s look at some of the other topics that concern abortion and its after- math. One of the most prominent issues concerning abortion in today’s society is Post Abortion Syndrome. While some argue that this is a made up term with no real foundation for belief, a national poll revealed that at least 56 percent experience guilt after an abortion while 25 percent have even sought psychiatric care versus just 3 percent who have never had an abortion. In addition to these startling statistics, a study done in Finland showed that women who received an abortion were four times more likely to die in the following year than women who carried pregnancies to full term. Even breast cancer, a rapidly rising disease among women today, doesn’t seem to scare women away from having an abortion. Another important aspect to those who strongly favor pro-life choices is the death penalty. Contrary to what many people believe, it actually takes more money to kill a person than to keep him or her in prison. Even those who argue that abortion does not take a life in actuality, the death penalty does just this. Doesn’t everyone have the right to life? Didn’t Thomas Jefferson believe the very same thought? It is irrevocable and can be committed against the innocent. Since 1973, more than 90 percent of U.S. prisoners have been released from death row after new evidence was found to prove their innocence and over half the countries in the world have abolished the death penalty in law or practice. Home of the infamous Jack Kevorkian, euthanasia is one of Michigan’s most talked about topics. Kevorkian and other “death angels” often lurk in hospital and nursing home hallways looking for the sickest of patients to send off into death. What is perhaps the scariest aspect to this practice is that the majority of these people who participate in such a horrific activities are doing so without anyone knowing. They are silent killers; often being crafty enough to simply overdose a patient without him or her knowing. Would you want the right to your life in someone else’s hands? I sure wouldn’t. The next time you hear of a friend or acquaintance who undergoes an abortion, think about the emotional and physical pain she will endure. Perhaps say a prayer for her suffering. The next time a prisoner is executed, remember that he or she was denied the very right that our country was founded upon. Perhaps say a prayer that your “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” is not stricken. And the next time you visit a sick relative in the hospital, think about the life he or she is clinging on to. Perhaps say a prayer that this treasured life is not taken unknowingly.

The answer is of course a star football player, none other than no preference freshman and tight end Eric Knott. Knott was initially charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly participating in the rape of a 13-year-old girl. Knott’s lawyer struck a plea bargain to have the charges on Knott reduced to forth-degree criminal sexual conduct. He pleaded no contest and was allowed to play football at MSU. This case to me is just another example of the power male athletes have in society. A Super Bowl MVP can be a murder suspect and the same boxer who beats his wife can get paid millions for each fight. As a safety measure, Knott was required by MSU administration to live off-campus his freshmen year, which is a privilege afforded to no one else from out of town, except for a few people with special needs C Apparently Knott’s special need was being exempt from the consequences of raping a 13- year-old. §j ■ By Carol Beck freshman Michelle Allen holds a sign to protest no preference freshman Eric Knott’s presence on the football field.

Why? First of all it is nobody’s business what he had done in his past. Who are we to say that because of what happened in his past he should not receive an education? Does every student at MSU have a By Elizabeth Peterson perfect background and record? I seriously doubt it. If you don’t have a perfect record, should what you did keep you from attending school? Probably not. Another point, does anyone know what statutory rape is? It is not the same thing as rape. It means sexual relations with a person who has not reached the statutory age of consent. This means that this was not necessarily an act of violence. The girl could have wanted to have sexual intercourse just as bad as Knott did. In a statutory rape case, it isn’t always the girl that files the suit; it could be a parent, a teacher, anyone who becomes knowledgeable of the act. In this event, even if the girl doesn’t want the case to go through the judicial system, it does. So as a result, a person who did nothing wrong, who had sexual inter­ course with someone who wanted to, now has a black mark on his record. This is not something that should be considered when it comes to deciding where this person should go to school or his decision to play sports. I think we all just need to relax and mind our own business. N)£7 freshman and tight-end Eric Knott pleads guilty for lesser charges so that playing at MSU can be possible.

But, the safety of the athletes, coaches and fans was the top priority during the events. The federal government spent a total of $75 million on security and a total overall budget of $315 million on the 2002 Olympics. Between 5,000 and 7,000 federal, state and local enforcement officers provided security services for the games, along with thousands of military personnel from the Salt Lake Orga­ nizing Committee performing security roles.

The other event is the half­ pipe, which will be the same as before, a freestyle event. The first portion of the parallel giant slalom is a qualifying run. In the sec­ ond part of the run, ath­ letes are chosen based on their qualifying times. The winners of two semi­ finals will race for the gold medal. The half-pipe competi­ tion is judged based on maneuvers; standard ma­ neuvers, rotations, ampli­ tude and their overall im­ pression. Isabelle Blanc took the gold home after winning an all-French final against Olympic favorite Karine Ruby in the debut Olym­ pic parallel slalom. Blanc was one of the few women who man­ aged to make it through each round without fall­ ing. Blanc, who said she had been taking singing les­ sons recently to help re­ lease tension and better express herself, was ec­ static after her win, wav­ ing the French flag and posing in front of the crowd. "I just can't believe what's happening now, " Blanc said. "A final with Karine is something I couldn't even dream." Striving for success is not uncommon during the Olympic games, espe­ cially for Jasey-Jay Ander­ son who gave up partici­ pating in World Cup sea­ son to go for the gold in the Salt Lake Games. "I made a lot of changes through the summer and the early part of World Cup season," Anderson says. "I've sacrificed the early part of the year to make sure I'm right on for the Olympics. I've gone from one end of the spec­ trum to the other looking for the right combina­ tion." Anderson even went e s far as studying his poten­ tial Olympic opponents s- o that he could know the ii strengths and weak­ nesses. While Anderson went home without the gold, he strived for the best.

I Olymp^QgT 1 Scandals in the Olympics By Kim Alsup Winter Olympic leaders had a stern warning for athletes using performance-enhancing drugs during the games. Those abusing drugs were not found until the close of the Olympic games on Feb.24 “We are on their heels,” Dr. Arne Ljungqvist said Sunday in announcing the games’ biggest drug bust since Ben Johnson, giving the Salt Lake City Olympics a burst of controversy. Three cross-country skiers, including multi­ medalists Larissa Lazutina of Russia and Johann Muelegg of Spain, were thrown out of the Winter Games, and both were stripped of a gold medal for using a drug designed to help kidney patients avoid anemia. The drug darprotein boosts productions of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles. It is such a new substance that it didn’t make it on the International Olympic Committee’s list of banned substances, but did make it on the related substances list. All three of the athletes were tossed out of the games on the final day of competition. They were the first Winter Olympic athletes caught for drugs since 1988, and the biggest stars involved in an drug scandal since Johnson tested positive for steroids after winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. Lazutina was forced to give up her victory in the 30 kilometer classical race and her record tying 10th Olympic medal. Muehlegg, who had won three gold medals at the games, was forced to return the one from the 50K classical race. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said that those medals are now tainted. “Technically, they are Olympic champions,” Rogge said. “Morally, it is a totally different issue.” Another controversial event at the 2002 Winter Olympics was a figure skating scandal that involved French skating judge Marie- Reine Le Gougne and the Canadian and Russian pair figure skating teams. Russian skaters Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze won the gold medal at the pairs figure skating competition, beating Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier in a 5-4 vote. However, Le Gougne was accused of voting for the Russians in return for the Russian judge’s No. 1 vote in the dance skating competiton. Sale and Pelletier were awarded gold medals later in the Winter Games, while the Russians were allowed to keep their gold medals. 72 One Ti me m■IBM■ j Anton Ohno celebrates with his gold medal for the 1,500 meter short-track speed skating race at the Winter Olympics in the Salt lake City, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2002. r : P f «§ \ Hill ' isf j|il .. : '■ i ■■■ SB" v ■ ___ Villi ^ ::A E>liirH''T U.S. athletes and the New York police and firefighters carry the tattered American Flag from the World Trade Cehter into the stadium during the open­ ing ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olym­ pics in Salt lake City Feb. 8, 2002. m ipsB■ tag ■ lit YiaiB ■ m§ AP Photo ^■ATftArH' Hughes of the United States competes in the women’s free skating progam at the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City on Feb. 21,2002.

Enron’s bankruptcy has gone down in history as one of the biggest scandals of all- time. Due to the payout of bonuses, one being as high as $5 million, questions be­ gan to arise on why one of the top energy companies went under. These bonuses sparked anger on part of the laid-off employees who thought that the money should have been used to give them much deserved severance packages. According to CNN Money, the bonuses were only awarded to Enron’s inner circle and to people who worked to set up the questionable financial partnership that led to the company’s demise. But, Enron offi­ cials said this statement is untrue. “The notion behind the retention pay­ ments was one that if we were to go into bankruptcy is that these key individuals would remain with the company to protect the businesses’ and assets’ values for the creditors,” said Enron President Jeffery McMahon during a congressional hearing. McMahon’s bonus was reportedly $1.5 million. But even though this explanation was Julie Dawes T"H"S> built Jacobson’s at the Meridian Mall remains open despite the company entering Chapter 11 bankruptcy. After decades at their old location on Grand River Avenue in downtown East Lansing, Jacobson’s moved to the mall in 2000. Bames and Nobles Booksellers took over the old building. 74 One Time given, those that were not given bonuses and lost their life savings in the failing com- p anies 401K still demanded answers on the company’s collapse. A court claim was then filed to indicate that the executives knew of the demise before it came all crumbling down. Many outside companies will suffer at the hand of the Enron collapse, according to CNN Money. The web site said the fate of Arthur Andersen LLP rested on what audil tor David Duncan “knew” when he was directed by Anderson employees to begin shredding important Enron documents five months previous to the indictment. However, when the Chicago-based ac­ counting firm was indicted on March 14, Andersen attempted to blame the destruc­ tion of the company on a few employees, specifically Duncan. Anderson fired Duncan in January be­ fore the indictment and attempted to char­ acterize the former auditor as a rogue ernl ployee who instigated the shredding of the documents without knowledge of the company’s senior management. However, when these allegations came about, Andersen and company claimed that Duncan did nothing wrong. “We don’t know whether anyone com­ mitted a crime, including Duncan,” said Stanley Brand, an Andersen attorney in Houston. The Department of Justice alleges that Andersen started shredding documents re­ lated to its work for Enron, and the ac­ counting firm knew the energy company was under a government probe, but didn’t want to be caught in the cross fire of charges. “And charges can be brought against Andersen if it had reason to believe that the documents would become relevant to an investigation,” said StanTwardy, the former U.S. attorney for the state of Connecticut. The federal government also alleges that the head executives of Enron knew before hand that the company would indeed crumble, which led them to protect their 40IK plans and their money. Among energy companies that traded with Enron, potential losses range from $100 million for Duke to $80 million for Mirant and $75 million for Dynegy. Among the many banks that did business with Enron, J.P. Morgan Chase announced that it had $500 million in unsecured loans, and Citigroup could face similar losses. While this scandal placed third in the top 10 business stories of the year according to Fortune magazine, many other companies followed Enron in bankruptcy. K-Mart Corp. filed Chapter 11 just be­ fore Enron late last year. K-Mart filed bankruptcy after many stores were under performing. The dis­ count chain became under-productive due tolosing sales to Target Corp. as well as Wal-Mart. On March 8, the corporation filed a claim with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to close 284 of its under performing stores. Of those stated to close were 271 K-Mart discount stores andil2 K-Mart Supercenter retail outlets in 40 states, and 1 K-Mart store in Puerto Rico. The closure of these stores is expected to significantly enhance the company’s op­ eration and financial performance. K-Mart anticipates that the sales gener­ ated from store closings and related cost savings will enhance its cash flow by about $550 million in 2002 and about $45 million annually thereafter. On March 21 K-Mart announced that they received authorization from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois to continue its successful business relationships with several key brand partners. Martha Stewart, upon hearing of the Chapter 11 filing, threatened to pull out her line of products sold at K-Mart due to bad press and potential losses from the com­ pany. But the court ruled that K-Mart can as­ sume its license agreements with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc., Jaclyn Smith G.H. Production Inc., Kathy Ireland Worldwide Inc., Disney, and JOE BOXER. James B. Adamson, chairman and chief executive officer of K-Mart, said, “We are particularly pleased that our creditors and the bankruptcy court recognize the value of these license agreements and support our efforts to continue working with our brand partners to create new and mutually beneficial opportunities.” After the final ruling, K-Mart estimated that 283 stores around the United States will be closed. Another store to file for bankruptcy was Jacobson’s department store, which added to the long list of major business filling for Chapter 11. testify before Congress Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2002, in Washington.

For instance, a Kentucky man named Tom Christerson lived with a self-contained artifi­ cial heart for over six months. Christerson was the longest living recipi­ ent of the AbioCor heart. He was one of six recipients, only one of two who were still alive. The other survivor was James Quinn, 51. The AbioCor heart was a titanium and plas­ tic device. The first recipient, Robert Tools, 59, died about five months after he received it. Despite minor setbacks, Christerson had made great progress, according to his doc­ tors. He was able to take trips to the local mall, restaurants and a boat show within months of his surgery. Another breakthrough occurred in Toronto when a 2-year-old boy received an artificial heart pump and successfully recovered. Emile Jutras was the second person in North America to receive the “Berlin Heart.” The first was installed in a 7-year-old boy from Arizona. He made full recovery as well. At least 500 European patients used the heart pump device, but the Food and Drug Administration or Health Canada had not approved the device yet. Triggered by a viral infection, the Cana­ dian boy’s heart condition plummeted and was close to giving out before he received the heart,isaid his doctor Renzo Cecere. After surgery, his condition improved and he recovered. These two examples were among many medical breakthroughs in 2002.

One of the most star­ tling new rules is the re­ moval of shoes after a [n an tried to light a bomb [on a flight leaving Paris in December 2001. What is next? While many are shocked at these newpre- cautions, others see their compliance as a way of keeping everyone safe during a time of unsafe events. On Oct. 8, 2001, the FederalAviationAssocia- tion released a list of tips for travelers that would help them meet the heightened safety regula­ tions. The list included suggestions like allowing extra time and taking public transportation to the airport if at aljipos- sible. Other suggestions on the list were remember­ ing to have a governl ment-issued ID, as well as being aware that offi­ cials may ask to see it on numerous occasions. While prior to SeptM 1, wearing metal objects was not too much of a problem, the FAA now suggests removing all metal before even enter­ ing the airport. Finance junior Ray Pettine said that security was extremely tight at Capital City Airport prior to his flight home to New York for the Thanksgiv­ ing holiday. “I had to take a small prop plane from Lansing to Chicago, and since there weren’t a lot of people on the plane, we all had to be balanced out according to our weight,” Pettine said. Some of the increased safety regulations that Pettine noticed at the air­ port included armed mili­ tary servicemen patrol­ ling the terminals and ac­ companying areas as well as more wand searches by individual security guards at security checkpoints. In addition to in­ creased security, only ticketed passengers can be allowed into the ter­ minals. If a person is pick­ ing someone up, they must wait in the ticket ar­ eas or other general places of congregation.

The material could possibly contain remains of what used to be the World Trade Center as well as thoughts and feelings associated with the attacks. Disney Touchstone Pictures postponed the release of the Tim Allen comedy “Big Trouble.” The film was originally scheduled to open Sept. 21, but its release date was delayed until April. “One scene includes a bomb on a plane, though the movie’s characters manage to avert disaster,” said studio spokeswoman Vivian Boyer. Similarly, Warner Bros, pushed back the planned Oct. 5 release of the Arnold Schwarzenegger film “Collateral Damage.” The film is a story about a firefighter who loses his family when a Colombian terrorist bombs a Los Angeles skyscraper. Warner Bros, pulled the film out of respect for the victimsof Sept. 11 and their families. Another film is under scrutiny even though the scenes shown in the trailer are not fea­ tured in the movie. The trailers for “Spider- Man,” which was set to be this summer’s big release, was pulled for a scene that showed bank robbers being caught in a spider web between the center’s twin towers. Also, some of the» film’s publicity that shows the towers reflected in Spider-Man’s mask were also pulled. The film’s release date was May 3. The World Trade Center has affected the lives of not only the victim’s and their fami­ lies, but also those within the entertainment industry. 82 One TBme Av (—t-t2l5>N3'T reads a Lansing State Journal article about the delay of the Tim Allen comedy “Big Trouble.” The film was originally scheduled to open Sept. 21 , but its release date was delayed until April. “One scene includes a bomb on a plane, though the movie’s characters manage to avert disaster,” said Touchstone Pictures’ spokeswoman Vivian Boyer. \ / a n d CDs are now being more heavily censored after the Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks.

The vigil served as a way for students and others to deal with the shock of the Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks. After the attacks were over, people had to deal with the shock and realization that the United States was not quite as safe and isolated as it had once seemed. 88 One T me I had started my morning like any other Tuesday. I woke up, crawled out of my loft, nearly tripped over the clothes on the floor and dragged my half-asleep body into the shower. Little did I know what was going on in the world around me. After I got out of the shower and started walking back to my dorm room, I saw a girl I knew. Her face was wet with tears and her cheeks were red and flushed. She was crying and ran to her room. Con­ fused I asked her what was wrong and all she said was, “Haven't you been watching the news?” With that, I bolted to my room. I turned on the television and as I did, I watched the first World Trade Tower burn. In what seemed like the blink of an eye, I saw a plane (the second one) crash into the other tower. Flames leaped out of the building, the nose of the plane came through the opposite side of the building and my knees went weak. I dropped my shower basket and crumpled to the floor. I was shocked, confused, and as the news broadcaster declared that it was a terrorist attack, I was afraid. Within an hour my image of our “peaceful” existence in this world came crashing down as the towers had. My hopes fell as I watched people leap to their deaths, trying to escape the flames and the disinte­ grating building. What started off as a regular day turned into a memory that will never be forgotten. To many students, the attacks on America were just as shocking. Elementary education freshman Gina Witt was horrified by the events as well. “I was going about my day like normal,” Witt said. “ I was at class with absolutely no clue what was happening as far as the World Trade Centers were concerned and the Pentagon, and basically the entire country.” Witt was shocked when her professor, who was clearly upset, told her entire class to go home and “watch the news.” When Witt returned to her residence hall she found many girls very emotional and scared, some were frantically calling family and friends, while others were pacing in front of television sets. Supply chain management sophomore Katie Topalian was leaving her Spanish class in Berkey Hall when she learned of the events. “There was a crowd gathered around a small TV set. People were staring blankly in shock while others were really panicking,” she said. According to Topalian, some students around her even went as far as to ask where the local bomb shelters were. “All I could do was stand there and watch,” she added. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I couldn’t believe this was happening in our country and to so many innocent people. My stomach sank and I had this horrible sick feeling I couldn’t shake.” Whether the impact of the events set in quickly or slowly, the majority of the students felt the repercus­ sions. These events affected their ways of thinking, their views and their emotions. During the attacks, friends consoled each other and helped each other cope; strangers shared their fear and sadness with other strangers and families pulled together in a time of tragedy. Suddenly, the country that seemed so huge and impersonal pulled together and united in a time of grief and horror. P A T T f r Nichelle M.

I have pic­ tures of the World Trade Center and of the Pentagon, along with countless American flags and charts about the economy,” the international relations freshman said. “I like the wall, ” said James Madison fresh­ man Meghan Paulas, Leefers’ roommate. “I find myself looking at it and finding some­ thing I didn’t notice before. I think it’s really creative. It’s like a mural.” Leefers said that while she has always been proud of her country, her expressions of pride have expanded along with the col­ lection of clippings on her wall. “I consider myself very patriotic, I love being an Ameri­ can.” Vocal performance irishman Kelsi Carolan found the feelings embodied by Leefers’ collage all over campus. 90 One Time “When you walk through the halls, you see flags andpatriotic symbols on everyone’s do ors, whereas b efore you never would have seen that,” she said. “I never used to con­ sider myself patriotic at all, but after Sept. 11 I am definitely a lot more patriotic.” “I think campus has become a closer com­ munity since Sept. 11,” Leefers said. “We all went through it together, and went to the vigils and services. We will always remem­ ber where we were when we heard about it, and what we did that day. And we were all here, together in shock with the whole cam­ pus.” Carolan shares these sentiments. “Right after, it was definitely different,” she said. “Everyone was in shock. I’d be walking from class to class, and everything just seemed so silent.” Despite the proliferation of “Stars and Stripes” on campus, Leefers expressed doubt that the patriotic fervor of many Americans would last. “I think it is already beginning to wear thin,” she said. “A lot of people jumped on the patriotic bandwagon because they felt it was the right thing to do.” Carolan believes that the level of patrio­ tism in America will fluctuate with what hap­ pens politically between the United States and the rest of the world. “It depends onyour own political beliefs,” she said. “You can be patriotic, but still be against war and so feel less patriotic when war is declared.” “People in America are tired of not hear­ ing any news and still being expected to have strong patriotism when they don’t know what’s going on,” Leefers said. “This is a quote from my wall: 'Let us not fight hatred with hatred,”’ she said. “I really feel that peace is possible if only people will communicate with one another. I have hope for the future and I am blessed to have grown up in America and to be a citizen of this country.” ■A*- ¿i-/vtx)lY’L-6>L-l£^fkf'T vigil is held on the Prom­ enade in the Brooklyn borough of New York on Thursday, Sept. 13, 2001 .

Books on religion were more popular since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. 92 One T ime r different religions bring different aspects By Maureen O’Hara Following the Sept. 11 terrorist at­ tacks, MSU embraced a wide va­ riety of religions during the Na­ tional Day of Remembrance with ceremonies held at the Wharton Center. Despite the common thread of defeat­ ing terrorism and consoling others, some religions were still faced with wide­ spread discrimination. While many were still in shock after the attacks, others turned to religion to offer comfort and solace during such a tumultuous time. Whether a member of the most widely distributed of the world religions, Christianity, or the monothe­ istic religion of Islam, people from all different walks of life shared in the pain of Sept. 11. Biology sophomore Katie Jones said the attacks are still being discussed at her Lutheran services in Saginaw. “Just last weekend our church talked about the attacks, ” Jones said. “On Sept. 11 we held a service when there aren’t usually services on Tuesdays.” Jones attended the Spartan Christian Fellowship on Sept. 11 and participated in prayer and songs to comfort the shocked student body. Perhaps the most scrutinized religion following the attacks is Islam, one third of the three dominant world religions. Turkish citizen and MSU student Reyhan Berkel, 25, says that the aware­ ness the attacks drew to the religion was one of the positive sides, if any, to the attacks. “The terrorism differs from one Mus­ lim country to the next, but there has always been terrorism in Turkey, and the United States never knew about it,” Berkel said. “Now everyone here sees that it can happen.” Berkel said there is a lesson to be learned, as she herself deals with the witnessing of discrimination against people of her Islamic religion. “People need to be educated more because even those who are now see themselves judging a person because of what they look like,” she said. Contrary to what many now believe after the attacks, Islam does not teach killing or violence. Those who gave their lives “for their religion” have it back­ ward, Berkel notes. While the religion does promote the teaching of others, nowhere does it say to kill if people do not convert. “Those who followed Osama bin Laden were brainwashed,” she said. “ They to ok the words of the Koran in the wrong way. People see these followers as everyone who believes in Islam and that is not true.” U-UY"Y?DY?^YY" ^EYhOl^P) and Muslim Student Association President Jameel Aftab and finance sophomore and Vice President Salman Ateequi listen to MSU President Peter M.

The biggest event was a campus-wide march to the Wharton Center, where many people spoke, including keynote speaker Dr. Julianne Malveaux. A film titled “Strait White Men and Me” was shown, which portrayed the lack of awareness white men have of their automatic power in society. The humorous documentary showed Chinese-American and gay director Antonia Kao interacting with a variety of straight white men who were in her film class. The men in the film generally accepted Kao, but at the same time made slanderous remarks. One man told her he didn’thave aproblem with gay people, but hoped his children grew up normal. Women’s Studies Program Interim Director Jayne Schuiteman thought the film was very introspective, and hoped people would learn about sharing the world from it. “It reminded me about the issue of whiteness, andhowithelps to undermine power structure, ” Associate Dean for the College of Arts and Letters Pat McConeghy said of the film. The goal of the film was to promote discussion, according to Schuiteman “The film poses far more questions than it answers,” she said. Many other events were held on Center, Different groups from around campus carried banners as they marched from B eaumont Tower to the Wharton where representatives of the groups received a few minutes to convey their message. Among others, representatives from the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay and Transgender Alliance called for an end to offensive language and the American Indian Community representative rallied for an Ojibway language class to be offered. Even though students had the day off from classes, many chose to come to events in support of King’s dream. “Martin Luther King Jr. would want us to be active and out learning things,” telecommunications senior Tiffany Mitchenor said.

From award winning Broad­ way musicals to spectacular symphony orches­ tras, the center has it all. The 2001-02 season showcased some of the most celebrated shows and talents that the nation has to offer. Located on the southeastern corner of MSU’s campus, the Wharton Center averages over 900 events annually, ranging from the Broadway sensation The Phantom of the Opera " to popu­ lar crooner Tony Bennett. Many people also don’t know that the great hall was the site of the presidential debate in the 1992 campaign. Named after MSU’s fourteenth president, Dr. Clifton Wharton and his wife Dolores, the center took three years to build at a cost of $24.6 mil­ lion. In September, the Wharton Center held the second annual Student Single Ticket Day that helped promote the arts to students who wouldn’t otherwise seek out professional entertainment. Tickets were sold at $10 apiece and were for seats in the Zone Four area of the center. Engineering junior Matt Mcleod was one of those students who took advantage of the inexpensive ticket prices. Acclaimed actress Ann- Margaret drew him and his girlfriend to see “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.” “The seats were really good and we could see everything,” he said. “It was fun to see everyone dressed up because it made it feel like a true professional event.” Mcleod’s girlfriend also capitalized on the $10 ticket by purchasing tickets for March’s "South Pacific. ” Jesse Graff PWTbrowse in the Wharton Cen­ ter gift shop after a performance.

The Women’s Varsity Recognition Cel­ ebration was held in February2002 to award varsity letters to the deserving female athletes. MSU is the first college in the Big Ten and the third in the state to recognize former female student athletes. Northern Michigan University recog­ nized female varsity athletes in 1997, and Central Michigan University recognized their female athletes in October 2000. Ten women have been inducted into the hall of fame at the Clara Bell Smith Student- Athlete Academic Center. The Women’s Varisty Recognition Celebration was special to the women receiving varsity letters, according to the associate athletics director and senior women’s administrator Shelly Appelbaum. “I feel extremely fortunate to be chairing the recognition committee and to honor this group of distinguished former student- athletes,” Appelbaum said. kT£>L-t? in February 2002, the Women’s Varsity Recognition Celebration honored former Spartan female varsity athletes.

Although West Circle residence halls were beautiful on the outside, much work was needed on the inside. Stephanie Najor H"AvL-L^ is an example of one of the beautiful, yet aging residence halls. Many students, faculty and staff were wondering if these elements of campus would last much longer due to their old age. 104 One Time Alissa Snella Tie Alissa Snells West Circle get a face lift By Sarah Brownlow Halls West Circle and the old fashioned residence halls that surround the area are a fixture to campus. Many see the an­ tique looking architecture as the look of a classic college and a special part of East Lansing. However, during the 2001-02 school year, the board of trustees had been talking about the future of the halls and the preserva­ tion of its beauty. These talks and other architectural plans up until 2020 are part of the Vision Master Plan of what the cam­ pus will look like. Trustees discussed either tearing down the halls and re­ building, or doing a massive overhaul and updating like the one done in Mason and Abbot halls a few years ago. The cost of keeping up the old buildings is very expensive for the university and such repairs would bring that down. West Circle resident and studio art freshman Mary Connors is concerned with these changes and hopes the university will maintain the look of the older halls. “The whole reason I wanted to live here was because it was so pretty and I really liked the way the dorms added to the old feeling you get with the campus. To change that would be a major downfall. I really think it retains the sense of history that MSU has,” she said. Victoria Araj, a journalism junior and mentor in Campbell Hall, agreed with Connors. She said tearing down the older halls would take away some of the campus’ beauty. “I’m all for updating the older halls and making them more efficient, ” Araj said. “I think West Circle is one of the most beautiful spots on campus. The look of the older halls just gives MSU more character.” is the home of the older residence halls on campus.

They continued to excel against Notr 3 Dame, the University of Iowa and the University of Wisconsin. Perhaps the most exciting game of the football season for both fans and players was the team’s win against the University of Michigai . “The ending was awesome! People were hugging people they didn’t even know. They were jumping up and down. It was the bei t college football game I have ever attended,” James Madison freshman Elizabeth Schrauben said. The outcome also opened up more room for Wolverines to voice more anti-Spartan sentiments. “It was a well-played game,” Eric Choate, an electrical engineering freshman at the University of Michigan, said. “Both teams wante 1 to win in one of the biggest rivalries in all of college football. It’s too bad that a great game had to be tarnished with such a controversy 1 ending, what with the Spartans looking like Houdini and stealing away the win.” The Spartans rounded out the regular season with a 55-7 win over the University of Missouri, thus clinching a spot in the Silicon Valle y Football Classic.

Duckett’s decision was not the only thing that affected the team’s future; team captain Little John Flowers graduated, leaving behind four successful and productive seasons. Be­ cause of this, the Spartans will have much rebuilding to do for the next season, but head coach Bobby Williams is prepared “We’re still in the process of building something here,” Wil­ liams said. “We’re out recruiting now to help our future.” T t e a m faces a li ne of tough Iowa Hawkeyes.

The Spartans began their season Sept. 28 at the Wolverine Invitational in Ann Arbor, finishing fourth out of 20 teams. Interdisciplinary studies senior Eric Jorgensen led the team with a two-day total of 142, finishing in a tie for third place. On Oct. 2 and 3 the team rose to a second place finish at the Adams Cup of Newport in Newport, R.I. Communica­ tion junior J.J.

The team helped the participants focus on skills that included individual attacking, group attacking and group de­ fending. Not unlike the men’s team, the women’s team welcomed a season of accomplishments as well. Although they lost to the University of Michigan dur­ ing the Big Ten Tournament, the team finished 10-8-2 over­ all. “It was a nice way to send off the seniors. We wanted to make it a positive day,” head coach Tom Saxton said. “These sixse- niors have meant a lot to the MSU program.” For the first time since 1995, MSU had more than one player receive Big Ten honors.

It was the first time since the 1960s that the Spartans played at the conference. MSU had previously made seven straight appearances from 1963 to 1969. “To be a part of something that has happened here at MSU for over 30 years is really something special,” said finance junior Mike Robinson. “It was greatto be sitting there with all my teammates andhear MSU announced as a participant in the tournament. That really gave me a sense of team unity. A sense that we had accomplished a goal that we had set out for ourselves at the beginning of the year and had the opportunity to take the season to the next level.” Communications senior Steve Arce agreed that the NCAA Tournament was a great memory for the players. “The best part of the season had to be waiting for our names to be announced at the bid selection for the NCAA Tourney on the news,” Arce said. “When we real­ ized we were in the tournament, it was a great satisfaction to all the players and especially the seniors since it was our last year and we could finally give something back to our program after all the work (the coaches had done).” The team had individual accomplish­ ments throughout the season. Arce, health and humanities student Anders Kelto and supply chain management jun­ ior Nick DeGraw were selected for the All Big Ten Team for 2001.

While the Lady Spartans hit a few bumps on the road early on in the season with losses to the University of Wisconsin, Northwest­ ern University and the University of Michigan, head coach Chuck Erbe said being patient was crucial. “We had issues with being a really mental team out on the court, and Chuck encouraged us to stay in the game and play our best,” outside hitter and education sophomore Stephanie Knopp said. Erbe said the players were very talented, but just needed By Heidi Jury to believe in themselves. “The most important thing is to have confidence in the team, and to let them know you still believe in them,” he said. Erbe attributed the team’s success to a strong effort in the second half of the season. “When we struggled in the first half of the Big Ten, it would have been easy to panic,” he said. “Our players were really motivated in the second half.” Outside hitter Emily Engel said Erbe encouraged the team to stay calm on the court. “He told us to always play every point to the end and not to give up,” the packaging junior said. This mentality led to the team’s crowning achieve­ ment of the season, nationally televised back-to-back wins against Ohio State and Penn State, Knopp said. “That’s the most difficult road trip in the Big Ten because both teams are nationally ranked,” Erbe said. Although a loss to the University of Wisconsin in the second round of the NCAA Tournament ended the sea­ son sooner than Knopp would have liked, she said she believes that next year’s team will be a contender for the Big Ten Championship.

By Maureen O Hara Remember those Friday night high school football games? Remember watching the .cheerleaders stay upbeat for hours on end, screaming at the top of their lungs and performing stunts that looked nearly impossible? Well, those were considered the easy days for the Spartan Cheerleading Team. Nationally ranked and immensely popular, the team performs at men’s football and basketball games as well as women’s volleyball and basketball events. In addition to those rigorous games, the squad can be found representing MSU at a variety of other spirit functions. They are considered ambassadors of the univer­ sity as the they represent the school at alumni and public relations events. Cheerleading tryouts began in April, and soon the co-ed, 37-member team was complete. The squad was divided into two teams during the selec­ tion process, the green team and the white team. In August, the team attended the U CA Collegiate Camp in Wisconsin to learn new routines and tougher skills. At the 2002 UCA Cheerleading National Cham­ pionship in Orlando, Fla., the green team showed off their talent by placing third in the semi-final round and finishing No. 12 overall in the finals, ranking them third in the BigTen. The competition was shown on ESPN and ESPN2. The team also showcases its ability and MSU pride at activities like the Tulip Time Parade in Holland and the Michigan Cherry Festival in Traverse City. This was the second year that Scott Carney led die team as advising head coach. He was assistant coach for six years prior. A typical season for the squad includes 40 weeks of dedication to MSU. During the week, a team member will put in 16-18 hours of training and practicing, and that does not include travel time or competitions.

I think we had an okyear, but didn’t quite pull it together,” he said. Despite Toloff’s doubts about the season, head coach Jim Stintzi said that the team did achieve their goals. “Our goal was to finish in the top three in the Big Ten and NCAA Regional championships and finish in the top 20 at the NCAA Cham-I pionships,” Stintzi said. The team finished third at the Big Ten Championships, third at the NCAA Regional Championship and 18th at the NCAA Championship. Stintzi said the team’s greatest triumph of the year was defeating Big Ten champs the University of Wisconsin at the regional meet. The team was young this year and will all have the chance to come back next year, Stintzi said. “The advantage of having a young team is that they are more willing to learn,” he said. “The disadvantage is their lack of experience in big meet sce­ narios.” Toloff agreed with his coach. “We only had two juniors on our team this year and that’s good,” Toloff said. “We know what we’ve got to do next year.” Stintzi, who is in his 18th year as head coach, has a coaching philosophy that helped give the team faith for the years to come. “Work hard, be patient and good things will happen,” he said.

They were also the co-captains of the 2001 team. “We’re there for people if they need to talk if they are feeling nervous before a race or feeling down afterward,” Carson said. “We have experience at competing in competitions.” Additionally, Carson and Somerville both received NCAA regional honors, and, along with no preference sophomore Jamie Krzyminski, were named to the first team of the All-Big Ten teams. General business administration and pre-law freshmen Katie Anderson and hospitality business sophomore Cindy Durocher made the second team. V “We had a great year this year,” Krzyminski said. “We pushed it up a lot from last year.” “Our greatest triumph of the year was winning the Big Ten Championship and defeating six time de­ fending champ Wisconsin for the title,” head coach Jim Stintzi said. Not only did the team members do well and receive honors, so did Stintzi, who has been with the team for three years.

After becoming Big Ten Champi­ ons, the team made it's first NCAA appearance this fall. Although they didn't beat the University of Michigan during the Nov. 11 game, the team ended the season with a 16-6 record. "I thought the 2001 season was great. There is not another way I would of liked to end my senior year," said Bridget Cooper, a communications se­ nior and the 2001 Big Ten Offensive Player of the year. Cooper earned All-American hon­ ors from the National Field Hockey Coach's Association, becoming the sev­ enth in the history of field hockey at MSU to earn those honors. Cooper also made the All-Big Ten First Team. Mara Gretchen Mabley, a food man­ agement senior and goalie, said the 2001 team was amazing. Mabley also received the Student Athlete of the Month award for September as well as the Spirit Award for the team. "I have never been on a team with such unity and dedication," Mabley said. "Everyone was playing with their hearts and 110 percent effort at all times. "Some of my best memories are be­ coming Big Ten co-champions and go­ ing to the NCAA Tournament.

This game, the season opener, broke the 41year standing record for hockey attendance. It was held in Spartan Stadium instead of Munn Ice Arena. “Fighting from behind is not easy,” said head coach Ron Mason about the record-breaking game. “Our kids kept battling. Maybe the fact that we had so many friends in our favor really helped us (in) the stretch. I thought both teams put on a good show and that’s what we were looking for.” Mason said he felt the tie was as good as a win. “This is a win for Michigan State University—a tremendous night,” said Mason, “I think everything went according to plan.” The Spartans played the Wolverines again on Jan. 19. This game was also monumental because MSU goaltender and business junior Ryan Miller tied a career high of 42 saves. However, Miller was just one of the phenomenal players on the 2001-02 team. Tied with two other players from different teams, finance senior Adam Hall and communications junior Brian Maloney ranked at No. 7 on the top 10 list for players with the most goals in the Big Ten conference. Kinesiology freshman Kevin Estrada and business senior Joe Goodness, along with players from other teams, were ranked No. 5 for the most game-winning goals.Many other players showed their true colors as well by making extraordinary defensive and offensive plays and fighting hard for their wins. The long awaited matchup against Ohio State turned out to be yet another string of victories for MSU. First playing on Jan. 25,2002, the Spartans dominated OSU, winning the game 3-1. This win was the 31st win at home; the longest streak of home wins for the Spartans yet. In the second matchup against Ohio State, MSU took a series sweep, rolling over Ohio State 5 -1.

At his first game back against Ohio State it seemed that all the payers were getting slightly tired, according to Izzc. Taylor s return couldn’t have been more worth the wait. Taylor, who had averaged 17.7 points and five assists a game for the: Spartans, was inducted into the Big Ten record books as being the second player in Big Ten history to lead the league in both scoring and assists. Taylor also gained Big Ten Player of the Week honors after posting back-to-back 30 point games against Ohio State am 1 Iowa. “I'm really proud of him, and the other players are happy for him too,” Izzo said. “To be just the second player in Big Ten histor to do what he’s done is really incredible.” Just before heading to Washington for the first round of the NCAA Tournament, all the players and coaches gathered for the Annua^ Men’s Basketball Bust.

MSU’s streak of three straight Final Four appearances and the 2001-02 season ended after losing 69-58 to North Carolina on March 15.“It’s sad to have it end on kind of a sour note,” Izzo said after the game. “They didn’t beat us with backcuts. They didn’t beat us with threes. They beat us with dribble-drives and free throws. We took one option away, we took the second away and they found a third one.” The Spartans closed the first half with a 30-18 lead over North Carolina, but during the second half of the game the green and white struggled to get points and just couldn’t make a come back. The team ended the season 19-12 overall. No preference freshman Chris Hill scored 21 points and Taylor had 18 points for the Spartans. “It didn’t seem anybody could score at times,” Hill said. “It was hard to stop them today. We didn’t hit the shots we needed to in the first half and that hurt us. In the second half, our defense started slipping,” Taylor said after the game. “I think this team has done a lot of great things this year,” Izzo said when reflecting on the season.

The Lady Spartans had lost several strong seniors to graduation, a few others were out due to injury and they were about to face two nationally ranked teams in their first meet. Much to the team’s delight, they vaulted to a second place finish and jumped to a 10th place ranking in the Gymlnfo poll. The women’s team also got the highest opening meet score in team history. Head coach Kathie Klages said the opening meet was a great starting point. “Instead of digging a hole at the first meet, we’ve built high expec­ tations for the rest of the season,” she said in a press release. “Our athletes are fired up. They want to keep the same kind of consistency we had last season only take it one level higher in terms of our performance level and the difficulty in our routines.” And take it higher the Spartans did, as throughout the season they posted several of the highest total scores in team history. In three consecutive meets the Spartans se­ cured the fourth, fifth and sixth spots in the Spartan record books with marks of 195.725, 195.700 and 195.600. “Our program is a program of ex­ cellence, ” Klages said. “The desire to succeed is strong.” The team finished the regular sea­ son ranked No. 21 in the NCAA and went on to finish fifth in the Big Ten, meeting their goal of improving on last season’s sixth place finish. Klages said her team was looking forward to com­ peting in the NCAA Regional Championships and also hopes to make it to the national competition. “ The stretch goal would be to qualify for the NCAA National Championships, which I believe we have the talent to do,” she said. “But, all things have to fall into place to make that happen.” A- gymnast dismounts from the balance beam.

I am looking at something very special next year, but the young kids have to compete right away at this level.” Gatson said the transition from practice to competition might be more difficult this year than in the past, due to the construction of the new Ralph Young Outdoor Track, which will be completed during the summer.

You have to have talent, but you also have to have the right team chemistry. It appears in the fall and in practice that the players have really made a commitment to do these little things that help the team.” One of the highlights of the season was the team’s first ever perfect game in a double header against IUPU-Fort Wayne on April 6. MSU dominated both games, holding their competitors to no runs and only two hits. In the first game, pitcher and education senior Becky Gray and fellow picher and no prefer­ ence sophomore Jessica Beech shared the shut out.

Experience was key, according to head coach Ted Mahan. By Maureen O’Hara “We have the experience this season that most other teams have had over us in the past,” Mahan said. “Now, we are one of the most experienced teams in our league.” In their home opener, the team beat Siena Heights 6-0. With this senior leadership, the Spartans clenched some important wins during the first half of the season. Winning seven games during their spring trip to the Carolinas, they tied the record for the best start in school history, 12-2. The Big Ten Conference opened with a four-game series against Minnesota, last year ’ s Big Ten Tournament Champion. In the series, the team won the last two of three games, but fell short in the fourth, splitting the series. One of their toughest opponents, Northwestern, was able to achieve a victory over the Spartans, but they rallied back with two wins thanks to strong pitching from mathematics senior Nick Bates and computer science freshman Tim Day. Day struck out three and gave up just one run in the second game.

Music has always been an important part of campus life. Acquiring C.D.s became more difficult A/hen Tower Records, a large music store on Grand Tver Avenue, closed its doors. There are many different ways to experience life on campus, but one fact of life for all students living in the residence halls is the cafeteria food. No preference freshman Ryan Carrizales said the meals offered in the cafeteria were “sometimes de­ cent, sometimes not so decent.” However, Carrizales was not worried about what food he ate because he played Ultimate Frisbee. Unlike Carrizales, other Spartans live in fear of the infamous “freshman 15.” “There were always homemade cookies or brownies on little plates,” said zoology junior Hillary Noyes. “I think I’ve gained the fresh­ man 15 for sure.” Students like Noyes and Kristen McKenzie, a no preference sophomore, were also wor­ ried about the quality of the food. “ (The cafeteria) could use more fresh fruit because canned pears don’t cut it all the time, and the fresh fruit they do have is usually not quite so ripe,” said McKenzie. Noyes said she found it difficult to accom­ modate her vegetarian diet with the options offered in cafeterias. “The cafeteria’s version of vegetarian is to take the meat out and put cheese on it. That’s not so healthy. It is always breaded or old or the same thing every day,” she said. McKenzie and Noyes said that despite their complaints, the cafeteria does have its ben­ efits - like convenience. McKenzie said she liked the fact that she did not have to pay money each time she got a meal. Noyes said the smaller cafeterias, such as the one in Mason Hall, were enjoyable and the staff was very personable. “They are really nice. They do everything they can to make things better for us,” McKenzie said. “For the most part it’s not that bad, especially on grilled cheese day.” A- of hungry Wilson Hall residents eat in the cafeteria. Spar­ tans have dis­ agreed about the quality of cafeteria food, but most have eaten their fill when it comes to meal time. Many cited costs as the main incentive to eat in the cafeteria. 1 East Wilson Julie Dawes 1 West Wilson Katie McCune 2 West Wilson Katie McCune 3 West Wilson Food for Thought e^t^p-ii^ho^e^ T£? e>T u-r?e>hOT By Heidi Jury 4 West Wilson ■il m Sii ■Hu 4 West Wilson Katie McCune 5 West Wilson Katie McCune Justin Cooper Briggs freshman Mary Christensen eats in her room.

Residence halls are equipped with a num­ ber of safety measures that promote security and assure stu­ dents that they are safe when they choose to live on campus. The new installation of peepholes and stringent night security are only a few ways that Residence Life tries to keep everyone safe. In 1999, a subcommittee called the Safety and Security Group was formed with representatives from the Residence Hall Association, Residence Life, University Housing and the MSU Department of Po­ lice and Public Safety. The group discussed new ideas that would help students feel safer on campus and felt strongly that the installation of peepholes would create a more secure living environment. Communication junior Nick Kovacic sits on the Police-Student Task Force and believes iihat the safety of residents is an enormous issue since East Lansing is the third largest city in the state when students are on campus. Julie Dawes “The safety of students should never be jeopardized,” Kovacic said. “If that means changing the system, then we have to do it.” One of the most significant changes came in the form of the instal­ lation of over 10,000 peepholes in residence halls by the fall of 2001. This new safety measure gives residents a feeling of control over their room and its surrounding area. Interior design senior Maureen Gunning said she nowlooks through the peephole to check the identity of her visitors. “I think it’s a good idea," Gunning said. “Now I don’t have to open the door if I don’t want to.” The safety of students should not stop at peepholes, Kovacic also noted. Other issueslike the propping open of doors and sufficient lighting around certain areas of campus are equally important. “Michigan State is extremely safe compared to other large institu­ tions,” he said. “We are even looking into money for digital cameras that would be installed in residence hall lobbies.” 3 East Wilson Julie Dawes 4 East Wilson Julie Dawes 5 East Wilson Julie Daw /v Y' camera screens the halls of Rather Hall, All halls were equipped with peepholes after the summer of 2001.

Each hall has at least two aides. Some halls have more, based on number of residents and minority students in the hall. 4 East Holden NoâBUllmann 5 East Holden Noah Ullmann 6 East Holden Noah Ullmann A minimum grade point average of 2.5 is required to become a minority aide. In addition to this, being a mi­ nority aid requires strong communi­ cation skills, a knowledge of campus resources, active community involve­ ment and completion of at least one year at MSU. “The goal of minority aides is to affect retention rates of minority stu­ dents atMSU,” saidpre-medical tech­ nology senior Havana Robinson, an African-American minority aide in Holmes Hall. Robinson is in her second year of being a minority aide and is accus-i tomed to the demands. She attends five meetings a week, makes contact with all her students on her weekly rounds, maintains a bulletin board and writes a newsletter. She said she has had a lot of inspi­ rational and emotional experiences doing her job. “This year I have a very, very ill student,” Robinson said. “She is a freshmen and homesick. Yet, she is still here trying to get an education... I’ve been at the hospital and every­ thing with her.” Robinson’s students appreciate her hard work. “When I need resources, I can al­ ways go to her,” human biology fresh­ men Katrina Sanders said. “She gives me pre-med advice.” Kinesiology sophomore Shanta’l Overton has also received help from Robinson. “She has helped me emotionally and with the classes that were too hard for me,” Overton said. Minority aides get free room and board in the residence hall where they work. Duffy, a minor- i ity aide and political sci­ ence and predaw junior, I chats with a friend while he fills out paperwork.

Noah Ullmann 5 West Holden Mentors By Heidi Jury Being away at college can be a tumultuous time - dur ing which it would be good to have a friend to go to for advice. “It was very scary. It was my first big change in life moving away from home. I remember my mom dropped me off at Emmons Hall and I had tears rolling down my face all the way to my room,” said Cassie Geer, a 2001 hospitality business graduate. 5 West Holden Justin Cooper 6 West Holden “I only knew a few people, and it was overwhelming being on such a big campus not knowing that many people. You have to take care of yourself,” she said. That feeling of sadness and being overwhelmed, however, should not be something you have to deal with by yourself, according to Wilson Hall Mentor Brandon Brown, a commu­ nication sophomore. “I am a big advocate of safe space and feeling produc­ tive,” he said. “School should always be a place you feel safe.” The purpose of having a mentor on each floor is to help the students feel safe and have someone to go to for advice, according to Brown. He said mentors should always be on duty. “There is never a time when you are not a mentor - you are a mentor 24 hours a day,” Brown said. Although the job requires a large time commitment, edu­ cation senior ErikTimko said he loves being a mentor in Akers Hall. “I take it with great honor that students come to me, and I can have an influence on their lives and their decisions,” he said. 1 North Case Stephanie Naior 2 North Case Stephanie Najor r 3 Noli 280 One Home junior Victoria Araj, a mentor in Campbell Hall, decorates a bulletin board_.celebrating Thanksgiving.

Now, over 30 JL years later, black caucuses around campus focus on much more than that. “Our goal is to reach out and diversify,” said West Circle Black Caucus President and psychology freshman Nicole Bascomb. West Circle Black Caucus, one of the many black caucuses on campusjis already beginning plans to reach out to students. From talks of sponsoring a haunted house for the campus children, to having weekly ¡¡all movies, this caucus wants to stay involved with its community. “It’s important for us to reach out to the community and see that there are positive groups out there,” said West Circle Black Caucus Vice President and computer engineering sophomore Teresa Banton. “One of our goals is to to ich on issues that make a difference.” Despite their busy plans to perform community tasks, the West Circle Black C ucus still has time to devote to the African-American community. “Black caucus as a whole cares about the advancement of the black commu- n :y here. They uplift the students socially, academically, and mentally,” B nton said. To accomplish one of these goals, West Circle Black Caucus sponsors t! oring and study groups. This organization is very dedicated and focused on its many goals, yet is able t< remain fun and positive. For example, in October many of the black caucuses were involved in the L dacris concert.

But, in 2001 reno­ vations began and the hall that was formerly a showcase for all to admire became a huge construction project. Psychology junior Heather Ruby resided in Shaw Hall the last year before it was closed. She had planned to live there again, but be­ cause of the renovations was moved to McDonnel Hall. “ (The ShawHall) closingwas disappoint­ ing,” Ruby said. “But it needed some work.” Ruby said she really enjoyed Shaw Hall’s location, which is directly on Shaw Lane and right next to the Red Cedar River. According to Ruby, the area that needed the most changes was the bathrooms and electricity. “The power was always going out,” Ruby said of her stay in Shaw Hall. One major change to Shaw Hall was the gutting and complete reconstruction of the bathrooms. “We’ve been completely demolishing the bathrooms, pulling wires out of the walls; everything was covered in dust and was dirty. But the new bathrooms are going to be awe­ some,” said Shaw Hall Manager Carol Noud. A majority of the renovations were also made to the mechanical part of the building. Every room is nowupdated electrically. Other mechanical additions ¡included an updated fire alarm system and new ventilation. The building was also equipped with a new sprin­ kler system. Some other possible changes included rel doing the living rooms into nice study areas and updating all the public areas. The amount of funding given to the project would decide how much was changed in those areas. The goal of the renovations was to update Shaw Hall as well as provide more conve­ nience to the students living there. The large computer lab that had limited hours in previ­ ous years was scheduled to be open 24 hours each day when Shaw reopened in the fall of 2002. “I am really excited (about all of the changes). Shaw has a great location and just needed some mechanical updates. It has been really great to be a part of (the reconstruc­ tion),” Noud said. ¡81» Bwfc ,......II ■ I I ■■ ¿ Ì - L for the year, Shaw Hall under­ goes many renovations, one of which was a new cafeteria.

The Department of Residence Life chang its policies in 2000 from having resident assistants in the residen halls to a more community-orientated program of mentors. On each flo< rather than having an residence assistant to dictate rules and enforce the mentors on the floor helped residents to create a list of rules to live by whi everyone agreed upon. Snyder-Phillips Complex Director Stacia Fejedelem felt that commun standards was a work in progress. ty “It’s coming along and it takes awhile to get something going that’s newli this,” Fejedelem said. “A lot of people are more familiar with it after it beg last year and now more students are taking it seriously.” Weekly community meetings were designed to let residents either chang add or subtract a standard and help create a more effective living enviro ment. One major difference with the addition of community standards w the ability for students to make and also help enforce their standards. For example, if one student had a problem with a floor mate, it was his or h responsibility to go to that person him or herself, instead of having the ment intervene immediately. “I like this so much because this way it’s a more real life situation,” biolo; senior and Abbot Hall Mentor Bonnie Goodrich said. “If you’re in an office ar the person next to you is giving you problems, you’re not going to go to tl boss to solve it.” The Department of Residence Life adopted the new program in 2000 fro the University of Nevada at Las Vegas. Taking more responsibility was one the main reasons the program was adopted, according to the Department residence life numbers. “With community standards, mentors can still be a resource without ha ing to be the police and the residents of the floor have to hold each oth accountable,” Fejedelem said. ■ 3.VIP10 c o m m u n i t Standards ^Tur?s>Krp^ ma)Hé> Tk+s> By Sarah Brownlow 1 288 One Home Emmons 3 Emmons 4 Emmons Andrea Karlin hMBI— ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÜ immIHHII «MBS ■ ESiinsa«iifmi 1 Bailey ¿ ' \ Y Y i Y freshman Allison Barrand looks at her floor’s community standards in Campbell Hall.

You throw on a grubby old sweatshirt and the wrinkled pair of jeans crumpled in your drawer, brush your teeth, put on a hat, and walk to the building where there is already a mass of people waiting in line. Some have sleeping bags and pillows from the night before. But, instead of trying to get tickets for that hot new band coming to the Breslin Center, you are trying to get a hold of the hot commodity in the residence halls for the next school year--a single room. Microbiology senior Rebecca Ives faced this Joe May very situation last year. “I had to go over to, I think, Shaw Hall and stand in line very early in the morning to get (my single room). I was number 500 on the list because people stayed the night in order to apply. Since Shaw Hall was going to be re­ modeled, they limited the number of single rooms,” she said. Ives was able to cover the additional cost of a single room through scholarships. The cost of a single room with the Traditional 20 meal plan was $3,119 per semester, according to the University Housing web site. Under the same meal plan, the cost of a double room was $2,339. There were upsides and downsides to hav­ ing a single room, as with everything in life. “Having a single room allows you to bring a lot more stuff,” Ives said. “Unlike staying with a roommate, you have to bring all of your own appliances. It can get expensive, though, because if you don’t own them already, you have to go buy them.” Ives’ single room was located in Case Hall. She lived in a double room on the honors floor the three previous years. Although she missed her roommate, who graduated the year be­ fore, she still thought it was nice having her own room. Ives was not lacking for company either because many of her friends lived on the hon­ ors floor in Case, and she shared a bathroom with the occupants of a double room. Single rooms may sound like the perfect solu­ tion to many students, especially those who have had disputes with roommates, but Ives recom­ mends that only certain people get them. “A single room is good for someone who is involved in other things and won’t isolate themselves,” she said. “This is a friendly floor, so having a single room doesn’t mean I won’t talk to anyone.” A )T" studies in the comfort of her own room.

Whether it is for help with homework or keeping in touch with friends, the Internet can be considered a useful lifeline for college students. Last summer marked the completion of equipping all residence halls with data access ports. Snyder-Phillips was one of five residence halls that received the Ethernet connection last summer. According to Mary Lou Heberlein, manager of the Mason-Abbot and Snyder-Phillips Complex, residents were told last year that the hall would not have the Ethernet con­ nection because ofthe difficulty in clos­ ing halls for the summer. In Snyder- Phillips, however, there was a com­ puter lab that each student had access to. 2 West Holden “Keeping the halls open generates a lot of money from summer confer­ ences,” Heberlein said. “And that money helps keep room and board costs down.” Engineering sophomore Lindsay Smith lived in Snyder-Phillips during the 2000-01 school year and said that during her orientation, she was told her hall would be have Ethernet ports. But when she moved in, she found herself being burdened with a dial-up connection. Before moving to MSU, Smith checked her e-mail about five times a day. At the start of her freshman year, that number dropped to only once. “It was hard to do simple things like talk on-line and do my homework,” Smith said. “I had to take the phone off the wall just to check my e-mail.” Smith also noted that one of her most favorite pastimes was cut short by the lack of a speedy connection. “I went to my friend's room who had the Ethernet and she was downloading a ton of music,” Smith said. “I was so jealous!” freshman Mike Azzopardi checks his e-mail during a study break at Bailey Hall. Incoming freshmen were required to have a computer at the start of fall semester. While the Internet was very useful in retrieving informa­ tion, it also lured students away from studying.

However, only fish are allowed as pets at Michigan State University.

International social sciences senior Doug Copeland has three African Cichlids that he has had for about a year. “I got the fish because they help me re­ lax,” he said. “They’re colorful and add life to my otherwise dull room.” Pre-veterinarian freshman Betsy Muellen said she misses animals when she is at school and having a fis! help ease the loneliness.

These words clearly resonate in the actions and belief system of the Alliance -of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Students. In addition to the central alliance, five student caucus groups existed around campus in residence hall complexes to further promote the goal of widespread unity and acceptance.

Snyder House 1 3 The purpose of these five caucus groups is to assure students of a friendly support net­ work and friendship system for their mem­ bers. “We simply hang out, have designated movie nights and totally have fun with each of our members,” SPECTRUM President and no preference sophomore Tom David said. He said a support system is necessary amidst the hostility and backlash directed at lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender and allied students. “We are truly one big, happy family, as everyone gets along with one another,’ said David. By showcasing their pride and strength, they hope to overcome homophobia and heterosexism, and educate others about these issues, while having fun and friendship in the process.

Many students chose to build lofts in order to create more space for decorations.

Whether it is the simple use of posters s wallpaper or Christmas lights as room brighteners, the main theme is ndividuality. The typical residence hall room is like a blank canvas. For some students, it ^presents a chance to fully convey his or her personality without the hazards f upsetting Mom with offensive posters or deafening music. But when walking om the guys’ side to the girls’, it is clear that there are some designing ifferences. Marketing junior Alisa Pospekhova, a resident in East McDonel, said she anted her room to be a visual expression of her personality. “The rooms are so sterile and make you feel like you’re in a morgue,” ospekhova said. “If you decorate, then you can create a home away from ome.” Having a roommate can also create clashing ideas and schemes for a room, ut the key is to compromise. “My roommate and I are a little different. She doesn’t like one poster, and I nn’t like another, but we don’t make a huge issue out of it,” Pospekhova dded. Crossing the gender threshold can mean expecting the unexpected. Instead f fluffy pillows and comforters, a single blanket is substituted. Gone are enumerable pictures of friends and family, and in their place are posters and igh tech stereo equipment.

Fake cobwebs and Christmas trees go up to add some spirit to their otherwise ordinary decorations. “Decorating for the holidays is a nice idea,” said chemical engineering sophomore Matt Crosby. “It doesn’t take a lot of money and is easy to do.” Room Decorations 301 The Working Worlc | I r atu-c?&k)Ta Aitot?Is By Maureen O’Har i I v I v I o M ason Terrace Noah Ullmann 1 & 2 South Mason Noah Ullmann 2 Middle M ason Noah Ullmann Gregory Kalinowski kVVNT -At communication sophomore, checks the lists of signed out cleaning equipment.

Students find themselves faced with added respon sibilities, especially when it comes to managing money. Pizza runs and shopping sprees are only a few of the reasons that force students to find on-campus jobs. The Housing and Food Services division of Michigan State Uni­ versity is the largest on-campus employer of students. It offers a wide variety of residence hall jobs that range from building maintenance to office and reception staff. One of the most popular residence hall jobs is working in the cafeteria. If offers the advantages of flexible scheduling and developing ca­ maraderie with other employees. rW I Hi Zoology junior Racheal McKinney said she needed a job that was close and could work around her classes. “The people are all really nice,” McKinney said. “The pay is also pretty good for a college cafeteria.” McKinney’s duties include scan­ ning identification cards and loading and unloading in the dish room. She said although the job pays “pretty well, getting dirty is definitely a disadvan­ tage.” Another common jobln the resi­ dence halls is the night receptionist position. Agriculture science educa­ tion junior Rebel Smith said that the late nights force him to finish home­ work and get ahead in his classes. Smith’s weekday shift lasts from 2:30-7 a.m. During his shift, Smith swipes identification cards and signs in residents' guests. He is required to take one weekend shift a month, but usually works about three shifts depending on his sched­ ule. “It’s nice because I can have a job and go to school without having a huge commitment,” Smith said. “My sleep patterns get screwed up, but I work around it.” serves- lunch in the McDonel cafeteria.

Usually (the girls) just wander by and talk for a few minutes,” Benson said. According to those living in co-ed residence halls, the diver- sityhas proven positive.

Without the distractions of living in a co-ed residence hall, Yakeley residents found extra time for their studies and extra­ curricular activities. Yakeley offered not only elegant scenery, but its own study lounges, computer labs and other resources for resi­ dents. 3 West Akers Beyond the ivy-covered walls and beautiful scenery of West Circle, deep within the walls of Yakeley Hall, was a residence of high-esteem and proud students. The women of Yakeley not only liked their home, they loved it. Yakeley, the all-female residence hall, is located in a prime spot in West Circle and directly on Grand River Avenue. This location not only earned the love of its observers, but also of its residents. Human ecology sophomore Megan Miller liked Yakeley so much-her first year, she re­ turned to live there again last year. “(Yakeley Hall) is close to everything,” said Miller. “Being a human ecology major, none of my classes are far from here.” Journalism freshman Cindy Meyerand agreed, but she also really appreciated the beauty of the campus in that area. “The buildings are older and I guess that gives (this area) more of a ‘college-feel, ’rather than living in the bigger, apartment-like dorms,” Meyerand said. Yakeley/Gilchrist, which is actually a joint residence hall, was constructed in 1948 and its elegant architecture reflects this. Besides the great location and beautiful surroundings, Yakeley offered its residents a variety of more convenient features. Unlike many of the residence halls in the West Circle, Yakeley had its own cafeteria. This was a major perk, according to Meyerand. She said she enjoyed having a cafeteria in her own hall when it was cold outside. Yakeley also had a computer lab available for students to use. One might assume that living with all fe­ males would not be the best arrangement, but the residents did not seem to mind. “It’s not even an issue, it’s not a big deal,” Miller said. Meyerand also felt that the living situation was great. “(Yakeley) is small so you get to meet and know everyone,” she said. “There are so many nice people here.” However, some students admitted to wish­ ing males were around, but did not see it as a large problem. “I miss the boys,” pre-medical freshman Emily Zaran said. “You have to walk over to meet them, but I really like (living with only girls) because girls don’t mind (little things) too much.” With all of the city’s “hot spots” and conve­ niences within seconds, and with such a beautiful locale and friendly residents, Yakeley proved to be a great place for female students to live. freshman Kelly Swindle reads over her notes in her room.

For many students, the most common form of transporta­ 2 East Holmes Stephanie Najor tion is walking. “Walking with friends definitely helps pass the time,” said English freshman Colleen Farrow. Safety for students walking at night is a priority. There are many emergency phones spread out on campus to make those students who walk at night feel even safer. Walking can be the most convenient way from going class to class. However, when it is raining, cold or snowing out side, many students chose to ride the Capital Area Transportation Authority busses. CATA has nine routes that run throughout campus, and six routes that will take students off-campus. The buses run seven days a week, 24 hoirs a day during the fall and spring semes­ ters. Students must buy a semester pass or pay 50 cents each time theylide the bus. Riding a bike is another alternative to walking. “You get to class so much faster and you can sleep longer,” said communications sophomore Melissa Miller. Skateboarding, riding a scooter and in-line skating are the newest forms of transportation on campus. No preference freshman Jon Solitro in-line skates on cam­ pus. 3 East Holmes “It is easier than riding a bike because you can move slowly, not always having to stop,” he said. Stephanie Najor Solitro said he also finds in-line skating a cheaper way to get to class, but will pay to ride the bus in the winter. 4 East Holmes Stephanie Najor 5 East Holmes Home T T the bus fare increased, but students did not seem to mind. Riding the bus was one of the easiest forms of trans­ portation on campus.

With a rising demand for programs that highlight cultural and racial awareness, MRULE now exists in six residence complexes on campus. MRULE runs under the watchful guidance of co-directors Dr. Jeanne Gazel, a consultant in the Department of Urban Affairs, and Dr. Richard Thomas, a professor of history in Urban Affairs. The program offers student residents the op­ portunity to examine racial and cultural issues. Human resources junior Laura Gresehover said, “Ever since I became a leader two years ago, my knowledge of racial and even current national issues has increased significantly.” Greselover has been active in MRULE for four years, and is currently a program leader in Wilson Hall. One component of MRULE is a weekly round table discussion, highlighting such is­ sues as affirmative action and community ser­ vice. The organization also sponsors a variety of social events, giving members and inter­ ested students an opportunity to interact. MRULE offers students the chance to learn important skills. “My sense of articulation andpersonal con­ fidence has soared upon close interactions with other members of my group. This is a wonderful leadership skill that will prove ben­ eficial all my life,” Gresehover said. Ever since I became a leader two years ago, my knowledge of racial and even current national is- sues has increased significantly. 5 5 -Human resources junior Laura Gresehover participants discuss an article to present to the rest of the group for a discussion.

They also offer an opportunity to meet other stu dents, especially if you live in a residence hall. Agriculture educationgunior and McDonel Hall Mentor Rebel Smith said each residence hall and many floors sponsor IM sports teams. He said the activities bring the students closer together. “I’ve had a team on my floor all three years I’ve been at MSU,” he said. “I always see a major difference from the beginning to the end of the year. By the end of the year all the guys are hanging out more. “It helps a lot when they can all get out on the field and act crazy together,” he added. In addition, IM teams give students an opportunity to play an organized sport, regardless of skill. Depending on its mem­ bers, a team may be very competitive or more relaxed. “Most floor teams I’ve seen are definitely competitive,” Smith said. “Last year my floor team made it to the champion­ ship game and it was a big deal; one guy’s dad even came to watch us play.” Agricultural communication sophomore Miranda Smith disagreed with Smith. “Floor teams aren’t as competitive as independent IM teams because independent teams work together for three or four years,” she said. While many teams play for fun, there are others who take the games quite seriously. For this reason, the IM Department pays students to referee every game. Math junior Rick Ramthum is an IM referee. “I usually referee about four of five games a night,” he said. “I’m more strict with co-ed games than with all guy teams. I let (the guys) play more roughly.” 6 East McDonel 1 West McDonel 2 West McDonel _ Michael Newstead 3 West McDonel Michael Newstead 312 One Home JE>P)E>MY" ¿TrU/v^PlS^, an agriculture science freshman, tightens his laces before an 1M soccer game.

The Red Cedar Log had 14 photographers on staff for the 2001 -02 school year. By Allison Miriani A book of dedication College is often said to editor-in-chief of the RCL. residence halls. be “the best years of your life.” Because the college years are a time to be remembered, members of tie Red Cedar Log, MSU’s undergraduate yearbook, dedicated themselves to the task of creating a book that included all aspects of life on campus. The book contained varsity and club sports, residence hall life, academic sections, organizations, Greeks and other aspects of college life. Thousands of seniors had their pictures taken for free to fill pages in the senior section. There were also surveys given to graduating seniors and those still living in the The RCL staff worked to include students from all kinds of backgrounds. They worked to put out the most diverse book possible - one that could tell the story of 2001-02 at MSU: causing readers to remember their toughest classes, the awe­ inspiring scenery on campus, the spirit filled athletic events and the important people they met among the community on the East Lansing campus. “Through all of our publicity, we think we’ve accomplished a very diverse book to show the whole country what MSU is made of,” said David Linsey, a computer science senior and Editors, designers, photo­ graphers and journalists worked together to leave pages filled with memories. The group met weekly to brainstorm ideas and update everyone on their progress toward the next deadline. At tSe years end the RCL staff had completed something they hoped the entire under­ graduate community would keep for years - something they would be proud to show their grandchildren. “I think it is going to be a really awesome book,” said Keely Knopp, a journalism freshman and designer for the yearbook. “I’m really proud that I’ve been a part of it.” Noah Ullmann Red Cedar Log 385 Editor-in-CHief: David Linsey Executive Buisiness Manager: Kate Harper Associate Buisiness Manager: S3.r3.R3.mS6y Diversity Managing Editor: j3CkÌ6Thom3S Design Managing Editor: Jodie Simons 7 Emily Galer ^ Beth Holcomb ^ KeelyKnopp ✓ Erin Stein Red Cedar Log Noah Ullmann —f" Content Managing Editor: Kristin Dykema y Carol Beck / Sarah Brownlow / Jennifer Hamlett / Heidi Jury / Maureen 0’ Hara / Kimberly Alsup / Aubrae Filipiak / AlliMiriani C7B/E>p7^i?lT''C mangaging editor and advertising junior Jackie Thomas looks over an e-mail from one of the many organizations that were in the 2001 -02 yearbook.

For that reason, the Comerica Charitable Foundation makes hundreds of monetary grants each year, many to worthy educational causes and organizations.
