It wasn't the first time The State News had been accused of racist coverage. In the early 1960s and again in the mid- 1970s, blacks and women com¬ plained of inadequate news coverage. The $125 was turned over to People's Choice, an alternate publication geared for black students. The debate about minority coverage continued, and soon after, the issue faded — at least visibly — into spring. The MSU campus has never been a totally safe place for women to walk across alone at night. Buddy systems have been organized occasionally throughout the campus resi¬ dence hall complexes. Twenty- two emergency phone boxes were installed in January at numerous "suspect" areas. And DPS reportedly beefed-up car patrols. Not good enough, most women leaders said. Students and the University administra¬ tion need to become more aware of how dangerous walk¬ ing on this campus at night can be. Near mid-May, 300 women and men supporters noisily paraded around campus during early evening to urge greater rape prevention and to "Re¬ claim the Night," as the march was called, for women. It was the largest organized protest at MSU for rape prevention. Most protest of the past year have zoomed-in on campus problems. But nuclear energy Any day of the week.

The trustees are in charge of setting policy for the University and making decisions about and voting on resolutions to support issues or take public stands. The eight trustees are elected for eight-year terms, with two trustees running every two years. They are nominated at party conventions. Currently, six Democrats and two Republicans serve on MSU's board. The members meet once a month for two days — usually the third Thursday and Friday of each month. The trustees are the policy makers of the institution; they are responsible for academic as well as non-academic matters. The board controls all expenditures of the University. They also approve any personnel changes and pass resolutions of tribute to various groups or individuals. The board members serve without compensation but are allowed expense accounts for University business. They are reimbursed for long-distance phone calls, travel, lodging, University guests, postage, subscription, office supplies and equipment.
