A
t MSU, the overflow of research is almost seductive. The university attracts expert researchers from across the world, prides itself on having many unearthed scientific discoveries and budgeted more than $500 million for research in the 2011-12 academic year. With a goal to be one of the top research institutions internationally, Stephen Hsu, the vice president for research and graduate studies, said MSU’s research has an impact on the state, nation and globe. This research lies in various fields studying everything from the collision of atoms to plant photosynthesis investigation and robotic fish technologies to the construction of computerized arti-
ficial brains, he said. “The majority of really deep research done in the country is done at research universities like MSU,” Hsu said. “If the future 50 years from now is really (advanced), it will be because of the research done today at research universities.” Hsu said the majority of the funding comes from federal sources, such as the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Institute
of Health and the National Science Foundation. Although the funding mostly is granted to science fields, all of MSU’s colleges receive some research funding. At MSU, there are many faculty members and students hoping to make a leap and uncover an advancement in technology through research. Studies at the speed of light The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, is putting a spotlight from the nuclear science world on MSU by creating a facility capable of bringing in some of the top scientists from across the globe. The facility will allow scientists to use nuclear physics to speed up common elements to about half the speed

The completion of FRIB will cost about $680 million ,with MSU and the state of Michigan covering $94.5 million combined and DOESC covering the remainder, Glasmacher said. The funds FRIB receives from the DOESC will come annually and changes from year to year. FRIB is scheduled to be ready for research as early

ed by local experts. All rights listed have some exceptions.
THE STATE NEWS ■■
Although seeing an officer show up to a late-night party can be scary, experts said there are basic rights students have when dealing with police. “It’s always best to be cooperative,” East Lansing City Attorney Tom Yeadon said. “If you’re doing something inappropriate, you’re more likely to get a break from the officer or our office if you’re cooperative — general cooperativeness goes a long way.” Senior Melissa Kelm said because she is a political science and pre-law major, she knows her rights when dealing with a police officer, but most students don’t. Kelm said students might consent to unnecessary searches or questioning out of fear of police authority. “Even if you’re doing something wrong, you shouldn’t consent to have your rights violated,” she said. Here are some basic guidelines when dealing with police, provid-
When approached by an officer Unless lawfully detained or arrested by an officer, students do not have to speak with an officer on the street, Yeadon said. Yeadon said if police do have reason to detain an individual and the person leaves, they could be charged with obstructing an officer. However, this only applies in situations where an officer has given the person an order to stop or stay. Jim Newton, a lawyer from ASMSU Legal Services, said if students aren’t sure if police suspect them of criminal activity or have evidence to detain them, students should know they can politely ask, “Do I have the right to leave?” for clarification. “You’re free to leave until the officer determines you’re not free to leave,” Newton said.
Taking a Breathalyzer
By Lilly Keyes
Yeadon said students are not always required to take a Breathalyzer test. “If you’re in the street, our ordinance says they can ask you to take it and you don’t have to,” Yeadon said. “But often times, the officer has enough information to make an arrest anyway.” He said in the case of suspected drunken driving, an individual is required by law to take a Breathalyzer test on site. An individual can refuse the preliminary test at the cost of a civil infraction but often times will be arrested based on other evidence, such as signs of intoxication during a field sobriety test. After refusing, a Breathalyzer or blood test then will be taken at the police station. Penalties for not taking the secondary test include a one-year license

Growing up in a military family, Army ROTC Cadet Wendy Santiago said the military was in her blood. When she was planning her future in the service, a ban from 1994 forced the nursing senior to pick only from non-combat military roles. But a decision by U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta earlier this week ensures future generations of females won’t face such limits. On Wednesday, the U.S. military announced it will allow women to work in combat roles by dissolving a ban that’s been in place for nearly two decades. “We believe that we should open up service opportunities for women in as much possible,” Panetta said in a press conference on Thursday. “(We’re) moving forward with a plan to eliminate all gender-based barriers for women in services.” Although women have been

U.S., NORTH KOREA “SWORN ENEMIES” On Thursday, a statement from North Korea laid the motives of the country’s totalitarian leadership bare: An unyielding regime growing increasingly desperate as U.N. sanctions tighten their stranglehold on the country’s already enfeebled economy. The statement portrays North Korea’s intentions around their successful Dec. 12 long-range rocket launch as peaceful, but now the country’s fledgling space program will “all orientate toward the purpose of winning in the allout action for foiling the U.S.” The statement is issued from a government that seems almost incapable of being conciliatory, even as U.N. sanctions continue to tighten.

Leading math education When the U.S. saw its K-12 students were behind and below other countries internationally, William Schmidt helped lead
the charge in schools. A professor in MSU’s College of Education, Schmidt has led the research and evaluation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, or CCSSM, a common mathematical educational standard. The project has been implemented and picked up by about 45 states, he said. In 2012, Schmidt received a $1 million grant from the GE Foundation to re-evaluate the proper use of textbooks and monitor select teachers’ lesson plans to ensure U.S. students are competitive in the global sphere. Overall, he said he has received about $4 million from the GE Foundation for his research on this topic. “(The CCSSM) says what should be taught at each (grade) level,” Schmidt said. “It’s quite a change for American education — a revolutionary change.” At MSU, Schmidt works with undergraduate and graduate students on the research, he said. Before this standard was set, Schmidt said it was up to each state to set mathematics standards. The country’s weakest area was its mathematics curriculum at the seventh-grade and eighth-grade levels, he said. With the CCSSM, the teachers now are required to teach algebra and geometry in the eighth grade. Jeff Burgess, an eighthgrade math teacher at MacDonald Middle School in East Lansing, said he has been working with Schmidt during his research, recording what he teaches and adapting to the new regulations. The new math standard has been helpful to his students, Burgess said. “We’re not covering things a mile wide and three inches deep,” Burgess said. “It’s teaching (10) different things and doing it really well so kids can learn and move on.” Many schools are in the transitional stages of CCSSM, and in 2014 the standard

It is a research project Brown and microbiology and molecular genetics assistant professor Kazem Kashefi have been working on for more than a year as an experimental research “pet project,” Kashefi said. The experiment uses a bacteria called cupriavidus metallidurans, which uses its metabolic process to turn goldthree — a liquid gold — into gold-zero, the 24-karat solid gold familiar to most people, the professors said. “This organism, this particle — they breathe (gold), like we breath oxygen,” Kashefi said. The research project, currently on display at the MSU Museum, partially was funded with a $20,000 Humanities and Research Program grant from MSU, Brown said. Brown said about 10 milligrams of 24-karat gold can be produced per day in the custom-made, partially gold-plated system. “A lot of people think that gold was just formed in the earth through heat and pressure,” Brown said. “But it turns out it’s very likely that an organism has something to do with that whole process in the earth.” This project is in the experimental stages, the professors said. Although they said it is possible to create more gold and expedite the process, both agreed they are not yet sure what the environmental impacts could be if it were to be used industrially to collect gold. “We can create the genie,” Brown said. “It’s just that, do you want to release the genie?”

will take full effect in all schools in states requiring the program, Burgess said. Corn into gas For biomedical laboratory science senior Kaelee Jonick, Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, or GLBRC, has been part of her college life since she came to campus. GLBRC Director Jonathan Walton said the center’s purpose is to find economically feasible ways to swap cellulosic biofuels with gasoline in vehicles. In Walton’s research, he works to decompose cellulosic materials, such as those found in corn, and break it down into sugars, such as glucose, which can then be made into ethanol. Jonick works as a student lab assistant, assisting technicians with the field research. “It’s definitely beneficial that were doing the research for that,” Jonick said. “But I feel like there needs to be more research in order to benefit it, and that’s what were trying to do.” GLBRC as a whole received a grant of $125 million during a five-year period from the U.S. Department of Energy, which is split between the center at MSU and its partners at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The MSU site receives $10 million annually in direct research funds, Walton said. The previous five-year funding period just ended, but the GLBRC’s grant was renewed, and it is beginning its sixth year of research with the grant, he said. Walton said society is coming to an “economic hump,” and has acknowledged petroleum will not be an available resource in the near future. “We can almost compete with starch-based ethanol, but not quite,” Walton said. “We need some more technical breakthroughs, and our job
is to provide the basic science.” Where’d you get them apples? Creating a more effective way to fertilize apples and cherries is the task at hand for Matthew Grieshop, assistant professor in the Department of Entomology. Grieshop is leading one of three studies associated with the Speciality Crop Research Initiative, funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA. Grieshop is trying to design the best fertilizer input system to give farmers a more efficient way to nurture their crops without the annoying tractor’s pesticide blast. The new system would be gentler, shooting upward from the ground, he said. The team of 30-plus workers have received $2.5 million from the USDA, with matching funds of $2.5 million from other commodity groups across the state. “We are trying something radically different with research that has only been around for a few years,” Grieshop said. “Even if that doesn’t come to pass in 20 years, it will eventually. And we will have laid down the foot prints.” Like Grieshop, associate professor in the Department of Horticulture Ryan Warner has received a USDA grant for a project involving genomics-based approaches to improve petunia production efficiency and performance. The USDA grant of $1.3 million has been used primarily for personnel and equipment, with the group set to reapply for the grant in September 2015, Warner said. “It really started with a need from the industry,” Warner said. “A lot of these growers are operating on small charges, and anytime we can reduce the cost of production we’ve done something productive.”

When an officer knocks on your door Police typically need either consent or a warrant to enter a private residence, but might enter if there is an emergency or they are chasing someone, Newton said. He said if police are simply talking with a person at their door and witness something illegal taking place in their home, they have the right to come inside. “If there’s a crime going on in their presence, then they have the right to take control of a situation,” Newton said. The same general rights apply in resident hall dorm rooms, according to the Student Life Handbook online.
Yeadon said if pulled over, students must provide a driver’s license and vehicle registration if requested by police. Failure to provide either can lead to penalties. He said although police have the right to look in a car window, in some cases police can search the vehicle to search for weapons for their own safety or if they have probable cause that there are illegal substances inside. Impounded cars can be searched by police.

“You have a Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, but there are all sorts of exceptions to that right,” Yeadon said.

Work was hard to come by in the passing months and his children’s college funds were dwindling, so Nguyen began nail technician classes with his wife. The pair opened Polished Nail Salon, 2515 Jolly Road, in Lansing, about three years ago. “(I love) to meet the people, and (they) became more than just a client — we became friends,” Nguyen said.

Iranian native Iman Barjasteh said if he wanted to make it big in electrical and computer engineering, he had to come to the U.S. “Usually in these countries like America, you can fi nd good opportunities to stay there and get a job,” he said. Barjasteh, a graduate student, said he plans to use his student visa to stay in the U.S. as long as he can, but he’s not entirely sure what his fate will be after graduation. President Barack Obama recently announced the White House will push immigration reform in 2013, which could mean good news for international students, such as Barjasteh, hoping to stay and work in the U.S. after graduation. But in a country where demands for green cards exceed supply, annual caps on the number of work visas mean thousands of international students risk being unable to stay in the U.S. after graduation. According to fall 2012 Office of the Registrar reports, there are 6,722 international students at MSU. Office for International Students and Scholars Director Peter Briggs said after graduation, international students could be attracted to stay in the U.S. for numerous reasons, such as professional

opportunities, new freedoms or the American lifestyle. During his inaugural address last week, Obama pledged to reform immigration policies and keep more international students in the country. “Our journey is not complete until we fi nd a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity, until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country,” he said. On a student visa, international students are permitted to work in the U.S. for one year after graduation. “But employers know they can only work legally for a year, so there’s a lot of discouragement when (international) students are competing for jobs,” Briggs said. After the first year, students must be sponsored by an employer or family member, or marry an American citizen. Briggs said some worry international students come to the U.S. and take jobs qualified Americans can fill. He said his usual response is that these international students are filling deficits in skilled workers in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, fields.
According to Congressional Research Service and Briggs, 39 percent of STEM students are from foreign countries. Congress has made attempts to reform immigration policies within the last year. To keep high-skilled immigrants in the U.S., the House passed the STEM Jobs Act in November 2012. It eliminated the green card lottery, which gave both lowskilled and high-skilled workers from underrepresented countries an equal chance to receive a green card. Instead, the bill grants up to 55,000 green cards each year to programs for students who graduate from American universities with advanced STEM degrees. However, the Democratic-controlled Senate failed to pass the bill because of concern it would not give equal opportunity to all immigrants. Immigration reform remains a comprehensive issue lawmakers are expected to address in the upcoming year, especially after Latino voters helped Obama win reelection. Now, students, such as Barjasteh, must wait for lawmakers to take action. “If they like it here, how they figure this out can be a very stressful time in anybody’s life,” Briggs said.

Fantasy football and plenty of laughs will be on tab for MSU students this weekend, courtesy of the Residence Halls Association or RHA, and FX’s “The League Live.” RHA booked FX’s “The League Live” to come at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in the Cobb Great Hall at Wharton Center. Tickets for the event went on sale Friday, Jan. 18, with student tickets going for $17 and $27 for non-students. Students are limited to two tickets per MSU ID. Tickets were still available for purchase as of Thursday night and also will be available for purchase at the door, if the event does not sell out, RHA Director of Public Relations Abigail Bhattacharyya said. “The show will be a sketch-
comedy act based on the original television series,” Bhattacharyya said. “The League” on FX is a comedy following a group of old high school friends who participate in a highly competitive fantasy football league. While the show is centered on fantasy football, one doesn’t need to know much about the game to enjoy the show, with plenty of everydaylife issues and situations to spice up some laughs. “The League” started airing in fall 2009, and is scheduled to launch its fifth season next fall at 10:30 p.m on Thursdays on FX. Notable stars from the hit show will be making an appearance at the live event Sunday, including stand-up comedian Nick Kroll as “Ruxin,” Stephen Rannazzisi from “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” as “Kevin,” internet sensation Jon Lajoie as “Taco” and Paul Scheer of “Human Giant and National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego: Sport

RHA has been known for providing big-time shows to the MSU student body, with past performances by Kings of Leon, Lupe Fiasco and Mac Miller. No-preference freshman J.P. MacRitchie follows the televised comedy and enjoys the witty humor, but is skeptical on how
the live show will run. While MacRitchie doesn’t plan on going to the event, RHA anticipates high attendance at the show, James said. “We thought that MSU students would respond well to this ensemble comedy act,” James said. “‘The League’ television series is very popular with our demographic.”

What do you do? Do you grab another energy drink? Do you make another pot of coffee? Although this might sound like the beginning of another terrible 5-Hour ENERGY commercial, if you asked some doctors, situations like this actually are
the cause of many serious health problems. A new government survey shows emergency room visits from patients who have consumed energy drinks has doubled nationwide since 2007. In 2011, more than 20,000 individuals went to emergency rooms for heart-related issues after downing an energy drink. Most of the these cases involved teenagers and young adults. With all the stresses of college and the constant feeling of needing more time to get things done, it sometimes can feel impossible not to resort to energy drinks. But as innocent as it might seem, and as common as it has become, the side effects that can result from over-consumption of energy drinks are no laughing matter. There can be serious repercussions from consuming multiple energy drinks in one sitting. Emergency room doctors have called energy drink consumption a “rising public health problem,” and they can cause a number of immediate problems including irregular heartbeats, anxiety and heart attacks. Other longer-term problems include

Many of these problems have been linked to some of the ingredients that make up these drinks, including taurine, which has been banned as a consumable ingredient in other countries. The amount of caffeine in these drinks to use some discretion. If not used in moderation, has been another red flag physicians have cited. If someone was to try to get the boost of energy anything you put in your body can be harmful. Instead of reading about the individuals who are they needed by drinking just three energy drinks in an hour, it would be the caffeine equivalent of sent to the emergency room after consuming too downing 15 cups of coffee in the same amount of many energy drinks, take some responsibility for yourself and read the label of the products you’re time. Like it or not, energy drinks have cemented a buying. So the next time you need that extra boost, take place in our day-to-day lives, but that doesn’t mean their impact should be looked at in an entirely bad a second and weigh your options. A four pack of Red Bull can get you a long way light. Having a caffeinated beverage when you need into the night, but getting enough sleep sure feels an extra kick isn’t going to hurt you. But you have a lot better and is much healthier.

“Israel ‘much more than a battleground’” I wonder if he met any Palestinians. There are Palestinian-Christians living in the Holy Land, you know that right? You can’t make a “well-informed opinion of Israel” while ignoring half of the population...
MICHAEL HOLLOWAY hollow83@msu.edu
Chris, Jan. 24 via statenews.com
This article isn’t about political issues and is entirely about not treating Israel like a battleground. It even mentioned that the program doesn’t intend for all reactions to be positive. Why are you bringing up an issue that isn’t even addressed in the article? It’s just petty. Erin, Jan. 24 via statenews.com
Required reading offers unexpected lessons
A
fter four years of college, one of the necessary evils I’ve come to accept is the idea of doing assigned course readings. Whether it’s out of some fear I have about being quizzed on them in the future, or I’m trying to get everything out of a course that’s more than $420 a credit hour, I do them, leaving a good portion to each of my day spent sitting alone reading. Now, by no means should this statement imply that this is something I look forward to doing. I don’t think that has ever been true. I can’t remember a time in my life when I’ve ever gotten a rush of excitement when checking my ANGEL account. I can’t
think back to a moment when the hair on the back of my neck stood up out of joy after downloading a PDF fi le and fi nding out it was 40 pages in length. And I defi nitely can’t recall a time when I was satisfied by the number I saw staring back at me from the bottom of my Student Book Store receipt, representing how much my new semester-long past time was going to cost me. But as dispassionate as I am about 90 percent of the books or fi les I’ve been assigned to read throughout my four years of school, there still are those rare moments when I come across something that truly has a lasting impact. For me, one of the those moments happened earlier this week, in a book focussed simply around the idea of being nice. As a professional writing stu-
Just so you know
As I checked my syllabus dent, I’ve come to accept that the type of books I buy each on Tuesday for my homework semester aren’t typical with due the next day, I found the words “read chapters those of most oth1-3 out of ‘The Power majors. Instead of textbooks or the GUEST COLUMNIST er of Nice: How to Conquer the Business latest volume of the World With Kindnotebook my proness,’” listed for one fessor published of my classes. 20 years prior, the Immediately, my required materials spirits dropped to the I have to purchase floor. It was already often include old late, and, in my eyes, novels or academseeing t he words ic journals which GREG OLSEN olsengr2@msu.edu “three chapters” liststood out to my ed from a book about instructors in some being nice might as way. Although this quality makes well have been a death senmy readings unique, like the tence. As I grabbed a highlightrequired texts from any major, er and made way to my usual it doesn’t guarantee their con- reading location in my house, tent to be any more engaging, I readied myself for the next and the same amount of trep- extremely dull few hours. Despite my apprehension, as idation seems to flow through my veins each time I start read- I set down the book three chapters later, I realized how wrong ing the text.
my suspicions had been. For anyone who ever has come across “The Power of Nice,” you already know that it is a classic example of why you should never judge a book by its cover. In each of its chapters, which rarely stretch for more than 15 pages, “The Power of Nice” lays out easy steps to improving your day simply by bettering your attitude. Even more to my surprise, as I read through each of the chapters, I found that the usual routine I followed when it came to course reading didn’t need to apply. Instead of painting each of the pages with highlighter marks or jotting down quick blurbs in a notebook I would never see again, I found that instead of being scared about forgetting the content of the book, I was simply reading. Although there is nothing
exciting about the feelings I felt after completing my reading that night, the idea behind the simple message of “The Power of Nice” is. In each of our daily lives, there are certain moments when the idea of being nice seems like the hardest thing to do. Whether it’s to our friends, parents or even complete strangers, sometimes the stresses throughout our day can make the idea of showing any additional kindness just another thing you have to do. A lt hough t his cer tain ly doesn’t mean any of us aren’t good people, the idea of taking a step back and wondering how the people in our lives perceive us is a good way to stay grounded and happy with who we are. The weather outside is cold enough. Our personalities don’t have to be, too.

STUDENTS GET FIRST LOOK AT ‘HANSEL AND GRETEL’ FILM To bring about some fairytale student appeal, the University Activities Board, or UAB, hosted an on-campus screening of Paramount Pictures’ new movie, “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters” Thursday in Wells Hall. The R-rated film adaptation of the Grimm’s Fairy Tale depicts Hansel and Gretel in a modern-day setting as bounty hunters. It officially hits theaters today. Jenna Virant, the UAB films director, said the group often receives offers to host on-campus prescreenings throughout the year from movie companies, such as Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios. UAB typically receives money from the production studios to host the screenings, in efforts to bring additional publicity to a movie. “It’s just a really good opportunity to get a word out about the film,” Virant said. “A lot of viewers see it before it comes out, and it gets out through word of mouth.” Virant said about 700 students typically come out to the screenings. UAB has another screening in February for Relativity Media’s “Act of Valor,” an adaptation of past missions performed by U.S. Navy Seals.

SAID member Jacquelyn Panetta said the scholarship fund is self-sustaining. “The cool thing about the scholarship fund is that it’s revolving,” said Panetta, a communication senior. “What happens is the loans are given out to young women who attend high school or college for a year, and they pay back the loan at an 8 percent interest rate, and the fund goes back to that scholarship fund to support other girls to go to school.” MSU SAID was formed in 2009 by students in the study abroad program that visited Shanti Ashram, a student in

The organization provides the girls with loans to attend high

India, during their trip. After the trip, the students wanted to stay in contact with Shanti Ashram, leading to SAID’s founding. To raise money for the nonprofit, Shanti Ashram gives SAID projects to choose from. For the second straight year, SAID is hosting a fundraiser at East Lansing Hot Yoga with the goal of raising approximately $6500, enough to send 20 girls from 10 villages to school. “We (chose hot yoga) because we thought it was especially applicable to MSU,” Panetta said. “We thought that people could relate to raising money for women’s education.” Patty Sutherland, owner of
East Lansing Hot Yoga, 924 Trowbridge Road, is excited to host the event for a secondstraight year. “We did it last year with them, and it was wonderful,” Sutherland said. “That is such an integral part of my studio philosophy to be aiding the community not just locally, but worldwide.” Two yoga sessions will be held for the fundraiser Sunday, one from noon to 2 p.m. and one from 2-4 p.m. The suggested donation is $10. “Partnering with Hot Yoga is beneficial because we have a close relationship with Patty,” said SAID member Katie
Hoffman. “We’re very fortunate that she’s allowing us to host this fundraiser because she normally does a straight class. Instead, she’s letting us collect donations for the scholarship fund. It’s a very popular thing, and I think it’s a good fundraiser for our organization.” Hoffman also looks forward to helping those in need with the event. “It feels really great to help these girls because they come from vulnerable families,” Hoffman said. “They wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to go to college, so be able to help provide them with an education is a great, great thing.”

The freshman goaltender for the Spartans (6-15-3 overall, 5-121-0 CCHA) will take the crease opposite Matthew Skoff, a Penn State (9-12-0) goaltender and close friend of Hildebrand’s. Hildebrand grew up in Butler, Pa., about an hour from Skoff’s hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa., and both worked with the same goalie coach growing up, Shane Clifford. The two have known each
other since they were in elementary school, and continue to keep in touch and workout with each other during the summer. They also were teammates and roommates in the United State Hockey League for the Sioux City Musketeers. Hildebrand said Clifford will be traveling to East Lansing this weekend for the games and to see the two goaltenders he knew since they were just kids. “He’s coached both of us, I believe, since we both started playing,� Hildebrand said. “It’s kind of cool for him seeing guys that he’s watched grow up play against each other on such a big stage.� After years of club hockey, this season is the Nittany Lions’
first as a Division I program. A large donation to the hockey program funded Penn State’s addition of men’s and women’s varsity hockey teams and financed a new arena. The Nittany Lions currently are an independent team, but will join the Big Ten next year in the conference’s inaugural season. Although they’re his opponents this weekend, Hildebrand is excited to see what this new addition will do for hockey in his home state. The Penn State varsity programs plus the 2013 Frozen Four in Pittsburgh might inspire a drive in fans and young kids to want to start playing hockey, Hildebrand said.
“All the Minnesota kids go to Minnesota, all the Michigan kids go to Michigan schools,� he said. “It would’ve been exciting if (Penn State) would have gotten this a few years ago, and it would have been big by now.� Hildebrand has more personal ties to this weekend’s games than the other players, but that is not stifl ing his desire to get two wins. After getting swept by Ferris State last weekend and losing to the U.S. National Team Development Program on Tuesday, MSU is eager to regain confidence and notch a couple wins on its belt. “They’ll come in here and play really hard,� head coach Tom Anastos said. “They’ll be really difficult to play against; they’re real aggressive. They’re actually a little older than our team, so they have maturity and strength.� Senior forward Chris Forfar also has a small connection to the team, having played with Penn State forward Tommy Olczyk. “He’s supremely dedicated to the program,� Forfar said. “You look at some of the teams
