Macklemore said it best — One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

According to the National Association of Resale Professionals, thrift stores across America have seen a rise in public interest in recent years. Currently, there are about 25,000 notfor-profit, consignment and resale shops in the U.S. and the number has been increasing.

“My mom likes to call me a hippie because of what I wear. But I call my personal style ‘unique.’ That’s why I like to thrift shop — you can’t find anything else like some of the things you find Shelby Burnett, journalism freshman

“You have to go through a lot of junk to find something good in a thrift store,” journalism freshman Shelby Burnett said. “But once you find something good, you find something good.”

With a tight budget and usually a large amount of student loan debt hanging above their heads, many students are seeking cheaper alternatives to buying clothes.

“My mom loves that I’m not spending all of my money on clothes anymore,” Burnett said.

“She tried to get me into thrift stores when I was young, but it wasn’t until I had to manage my own money that I really started going.”

Burnett said for her, thrift shopping has always been apart of her life. Her whole family loves it — sometimes, they go on family excursions to thrift stores together.

But the biggest thing for Burnett, her family and many others, is price.

“It’s what they can afford,” Salvation Army store manager Pandora Livingston said. “The big thing with thrift shopping is the trendiness. You can buy things (at a thrift store) that 2

T H E STAT E NE WS

you could get at the mall for around 80 percent less.”

Both trends and low prices drive East Lansing’s local Plato’s Closet. The store prides itself on being relevant to current fashion trends by only carrying clothes, jewelry and accessories recently in style.

“We’re cool because we buy clothes that have been in the stores for the past year to year and a half so they’re all a really current style. ...

We sell them at one-third of what it was priced for in their original stores,” Plato’s Closet store manager Whitney Covert said. “I go to the mall and I’m shocked at the prices.”

While plenty of students are buying resale, Livingston said the same amount are also donating. Students, she said, have fully accepted the thrifting cycle.

“It’s like a revolving door,” Livingston said.

“After you donate, you’re going to come back in and find new things that you want and those things are going to go right back in your closet, or your house.”

At the end of the day, Burnett said her favorite thing about thrift shopping is the ability she has to find something interesting.

“My mom likes to call me a hippie because of what I wear,” Burnett said. “But I call my personal style ‘unique.’ That’s why I like to thrift shop—you can’t find anything else like some of the things you find there.”

Former Bailey Community Center to become low-income senior housing with MSHDA funding

BY STEPHEN OLSCHANSKI SOLSCHANSKI@STATENEWS.COM

The future of the Bailey Community Center is no longer in limbo as the Capital Area Housing Partnership, or CAHP, received a Low Income Housing Tax Credit funding reservation from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority, or MSHDA, Wednesday.

“This is a win for the City, for the neighborhood and for CAHP,” East Lansing Mayor Mark Meadows said in a press release.

Money from the tax credit and funding from other “committed financing” will allow the project to renovate the building to hold 25 low-income, one-and-two-bedroom senior apartments.

The senior housing will be for residents 55 and older with an income that is 30-60 percent of the Area Median Income.

The project also comes with a service familiar to building, as the project is looking to create an area for a daycare provider. CAHP will also house offices in the building and is creating areas for commercial and community activities.

“From my perspective as the former chair of CAHP, as a current CAHP board member and now as mayor, this project preserves and enhances a community asset and provides new and exciting senior housing, which will help stabilize and expand housing opportunities in the Bailey Neigh-

borhood,” Meadows said in the press release.

The long-standing Bailey Center closed its doors on Sept. 4, 2015 amidst struggles surrounding rising operation costs and safety risks for the old building.

The building carried with it a staggering deficit of $150,000 and repair costs were estimated to be about $400,000.

It first opened its doors in 1922 as an East Lansing public school but quickly became a pillar for community involvement throughout its nearly 100 year history by hosting community recreation and arts events as well continuing to serve as a child care program within East Lansing Public Schools.

Bailey Center’s services were often the go-to for MSU faculty and staff who had children in need of toddler and infant care. But as age caught up to the building and costs to keep the building running became too steep to pay, City Council took action to decide its future.

Intense debate about what to do with the 300,000 square foot building came to decision

by City Council to ultimately cease operations in the popular building a year ago. Now the building will be undergoing a reformation that hopes to provide for another facet of the East Lansing community.

Construction on the project is expected to commence late summer of 2016. Completion of the project is expected by fall of 2017.

About 15 feet away from agribusiness management junior Emily Hale’s bedroom is a barn full of sheep.

The bleating sheep wake her up every three to four hours for night checks during lambing season. It’s Hale’s responsibility to aid the restless sheep, whether or not she has class in the early morning or plans for the weekend.

It’s different. It takes awhile to adjust. Ewe

get used it.

But hey, that’s life living at the sheep farm.

The first MSU sheep farm was built in 1865.

The facility is home to award-winning research initiatives and sheep breeds. The current facility, on South Hagadorn road, was established in 1960.

Students have been living on the farm since then. Former farm manager George Good, who managed the farm from 1969 to about 10 years ago, said students were needed for 24 hour security and lamb checks.

DOWN ON THE FARM

Hale worked at the farm for a year before living there. She’s called the barn home since August of last year.

“I live in a barn, and it’s not exactly the cleanest all the time,” Hale said. “Sometimes you get woken up by sheep. It’s got its quirks.”

Hale said it’s hard to escape the smell after living there for so long. She takes the barn’s scent wherever she goes.

“You become immune to it while you’re here,” Hale said. “I’ll smell it in class sometimes ... and when I go home my mom washes all my clothes. I have a lot of candles going to combat the smell.”

Working with sheep runs in Hale’s family.

Growing up on a family sheep farm, Hale chose to live at the barn to continue working with the animals at school.

“I grew up on a sheep farm, so I knew some stuff about it,” Hale said. “But there’s more responsibility here.”

A RICH TRADITION

MSU alumnus Bill Sheridan lived in the barn when the concrete was first poured for farm additions in 1969.

“There wasn’t much room in there for more than two people,” Sheridan said. “I had several roommates and only two of us at a time was cramped.”

Despite their snug conditions, Sheridan said they learned a lot from each other about lambing and rooming. He and his former roommates left behind their handprints and initials in the barn’s cement.

“I learned early on that the sheep industry can be challenging,” said Sheridan.

MSU Department of Animal Science academic specialist Daniel Kiesling, who is also a livestock judging coach, lived in the barn from 200103. He lived in the apartment with two other roommates his first year. With limited space available, they had to use closets in classrooms across the hall, which made changing, showering and privacy difficult.

“It was a pretty private place, but it’s open to the public during the day,” Kiesling said. “You had to make sure you took everything with you and weren’t walking around in your skivvies in case visitors were around.”

After living there long enough his clothes began to smell like the sheep barn. He and his roommates stuck air fresheners in their pockets to make their clothes smell better.

Michigan State University is seeking comments from the public about the University in preparation for its periodic evaluation by its regional accrediting agency. The University will host a visit April 4-5, 2016, with a team representing the Higher Learning Commission. Michigan State University has been accredited by the Commission since 1915. The team will review the institution’s ongoing ability to meet the Commission’s Criteria for Accreditation.

The public is invited to send comments regarding the University to: Public Comment on Michigan State University The Higher Learning Commission 230 South LaSalle Street, Suite 7-500 Chicago, IL 60604-1411

Lambing season is an important part of living at the farm. The season brings new lambs that need to be fed and kept warm throughout the night.

“3 a.m. lamb checks will really take the wind from your sails,” animal science junior David Scales, who lived in the barn during his sophomore year, said. “During lambing season, you just accept the fact that you will be sleep deprived for about three weeks.”

During lambing season, the residents wake up at odd hours of the night and early morning to check for newborn lambs, affecting their academic and social lives.

“Whether or not you have dinner or party plans, you have a big responsibility and schedule around it,” Kiesling said.

The challenges of lambing season have not changed much since the early years of the barn.

Sheridan and Hale both said lambing season is as rewarding as it is challenging.

“I had 8 a.m. classes, and if I was up with an ewe having trouble, I’d have to deal with it,”

Sheridan said.

In the fall semester, Hale and her roommate alternated nights and determined a schedule for the fall lambing season. This spring, Hale, who is living by herself, will deliver an estimated 130 lambs.

LEAVING THEIR MARK

Students who come through the farm sign their names and year of residence underneath their lofted beds.

The exact origin of the tradition of signatures is unknown. Numerous renovations have covered up previous signatures.

Daniel Kiesling’s brother, Perry High School teacher Brian Kiesling, lived in the barn fall 1998 when signatures were already present.

“It’s kind of like, ‘Why do students paint the rock at MSU?’” Brian said. “It’s just a way of leaving something behind.”

Hale looks forward to leaving her signature near her sister’s when she moves out.

“It’s a sense of pride and accomplishment because it’s the end of your stay,” Hale said.

“You’ve seen it all and done it all at the farm.”

Community members showcase vocal talent in MSU’s annual Choral Union

BY ALEXEA HANKIN AHANKIN@STATENEWS.COM

For both students and local residents, MSU’s Choral Union is a time to come together and display their singing talents.

MSU’s annual Choral Union is a community-based musical effort run by MSU director of choral programs and associate dean for graduate studies and research David Rayl.

“Everyone here is from a wide variety of musical backgrounds,” Rayl said. “Some have experience, some don’t.”

“I haven’t sang in front of anyone in a while... My profession has nothing to do with singing, but I love to sing anyway.”

Julia Brokaw, MSU pollination biology research technician

The Choral Union meets every semester and usually performs at the Wharton Center, but this year is performing April 9 at Plymouth Congregational Church in Lansing.

There is opportunity for students to take the Choral Union as a class for credit, Rayl said many don’t, making the Choral Union a largely community experience for Lansing residents of every age.

David Mackson said he graduated from MSU in 1982 and finally decided to audition for the Choral Union.

“I’ve known about this for a long time. I have a lot of experience in church chorals — I figured I’d give it a try,” he said.

The Choral Union attracts people from all walks of life, old and new.

Julia Brokaw, a research technician working in pollination biology with MSU, said she was feeling nervous before her audition.

“I haven’t sang in front of anyone in awhile,” Brokaw said.

“My profession has nothing to do with singing, but I love to sing anyway.”

Some of the participants even come with their whole family.

Lansing resident Margo Sinkevitch enrolled both herself and her two high school-aged children to participate in the Union.

Lansing resident Iris Linder sings during a Choral Union rehearsal on Jan. 13 at the Communication Arts and Sciences Building. PHOTO: SUNDEEP DHANJAL

She said she tried it last semester with her daughter and fell in love with the directors. Her son decided to come along after seeing their performance.

“The directors are always great,” Sinkevitch said. “You always walk away feeling enriched.”

Graduate assistant Amy Hall works with the Choral Union and helps direct it alongside Rayl. She said she likes connecting with the community.

The Choral Union is currently rehearsing The Duruflé piece “Requiem,” composed by Maurice Duruflé.

The Choral Union rehearses every Wednesday in room 147 of the Communication Arts and Sciences Building. Tuition is $52 per semester.

“My favorite part about directing the Choral Union is when someone says something that reminds them of how fun music is,” Rayl said.

Social skills vital to career success When it comes to class projects, some students tend to dislike working in groups.

However, as the working world continues to evolve, it might be the social skills developed during these projects that help students land a future job.

Career fields blending traditional technical skills with social skills will see the most growth in the future, Harvard Graduate School of Education professor David Deming said.

Deming visited MSU to speak about his recent study, “The Growing Importance of Social Skills in the Labor Market.”

His assertion is backed up by federal Bureau of Labor Statistics projections.

The BLS predicts a demand for home health aides, physician assistants, nurse practitioners and many other socially-skilled healthcare professionals to jump roughly between 30 and 40

percent by 2024.

Deming attributed the jump in demand to technological advances. Technical skills involving mathematical abilities can increasingly be performed or simplified by the use of computer programs. Social abilities are not so easily replaced.

“Having an unstructured conversation for five minutes seems simple to us, but it’s incredibly difficult to program because it’s unpredictable,” Deming said.

The ability to effectively convey information to a professional audience is a skill in high demand.

“What differentiates candidates for jobs now more than anything is that candidate’s ability to communicate,” Eli Broad College of Business professor of practice Shana Redd said. “It is the key competitive advantage.”

Both Deming and Redd stressed the increasingly collaborative nature of the working world.

“Even if you are an expert, you still need to be able to work and communicate with others like you and others (who) are experts in other

THE STATE N E WS

fields,” Redd said.

Redd developed a course designed to teach business students communication skills. Students conduct then present independent research addressing branding problems to human resources representatives from a company.

“Students get to work on real business problems, practicing real business communication skills relevant to the workplace,” Redd said.

It’s these kinds of unconventional classroom experiences that give MSU students a competitive edge, evidenced by the 15 percent of recent graduates who used their interpersonal skills to find jobs through career fairs.

Deming said the traditional structure of college education is not necessarily the best for preparing students for the workplace. “(The educational system) involves much more sitting and having things explained to you — it’s much more static,” Deming said. “That is a great way to convey information, but it’s not what the workplace looks like at all.”

With Maryland up 83-82 after a Draymond Green 3-pointer, Green pushed the ball up the court for MSU and threw a pass to Korie Lucious, who sank a buzzer-beating shot to give the Spartans the victory and advance them to the Sweet 16, en route to making the 2010 Final Four in Indianapolis.

THURSDAY, JANUA RY 2 1 , 2 01 6

BY JOSH THALL JTHALL@STATENEWS.COM

Life for a freshman in NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball is not easy, but things became even more complicated for freshman guard Matt McQuaid when MSU head coach Tom Izzo made the decision to switch his position from shooting guard to point guard.

McQuaid said he thinks the transition began after playing as point guard during MSU’s trip to Italy this past summer. During the trip, senior guard Denzel Valentine said he certainly took notice of McQuaid’s abilities with the ball, and thinks McQuaid could develop into a talented point guard for MSU. “When he first got here I didn’t know he was a playmaker like he is,” Valentine said. “He’s a really good playmaker, he sees the play, sees the floor, sees plays before they happen and he’s good at that. So I think he’s good at running the point guard and he’s going to keep continuing to improve.”

None of McQuaid’s stats so far will jump off the page, as he is averaging a modest 3.2 points and two assists per game. McQuaid knows he still has a lot to work on, but his play will be more important now than ever with the loss of starting sophomore point guard Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr. who is out indefinitely with plantar fasciitis.

“The speed of the game really, and the decision making,” McQuaid said.

“I still have got a lot to improve on, on seeing things before they happen, but

the upperclassmen are helping me a lot with that. Tum Tum’s staying on me about it and they’re helping me out and I’m improving a lot.”

McQuaid said Nairn has taken him under his wing as he makes the transition to point by helping him break down film, talking to him every day and teaching him how to think and play like a point guard.

“He’ll put his arm around me on the sideline, he’ll be like, ‘hey, you see this, you see that’ and I’m just like ‘aw, yeah I see that now’ and he’s just been a real big help for me,” McQuaid said.

Valentine and Nairn said the big thing they have been talking to McQuaid about is getting a better feel for the point guard position — when to look for his shot and when to pass.

“Just telling him how I think he should play defense, how I think he should be aggressive offensively when he has a shot he should take it,” Nairn said. “Just stuff like that because Matt McQuaid is a great player.”

Nairn said he thinks McQuaid has done about as well as a player could do in making such a large position change, and he thinks the confidence McQuaid will gain as a starter will be great for the team.

“There’s not too many guys that you can try to convert into a point guard when they’re known as a scorer and a shooter, but I mean, he’s handled it pretty well, he asks me a lot of questions, he asks (Denzel) a lot of questions,” Nairn said.

McQuaid started the season hot, scoring nine points in his second game against Kansas in the Champions Clas-

Year Freshman Major Marketing Hometown Duncanville, Texas Claim to fame McQuaid is a pure jump shooter who is a serious threat from the 3-point line. This offseason, MSU head coach Tom Izzo instilled point guard skills into McQuaid’s game, and with Lourawls “Tum Tum” Nairn Jr. injured, McQuaid’s versatility wil be put to the test.

sic, shooting 3-for-3 from the 3-point line including a huge 3-pointer to help propel MSU to the win. Since then, Izzo said he has played like a freshman going through large ups and downs throughout the season.

As a result, Izzo said he thought going into the game against Wisconsin that starting McQuaid at point guard might be a problem, but said after the game he was reassured of his decision, and is confident in McQuaid’s ability to start if needed.

“Matt McQuaid went from hitting all the big shots in the big games on the big stages and he’s kind of had the brook-trout look a little bit,” Izzo said.

“He ran the thing good (against Wisconsin), he hit a couple guys down the middle, he did a pretty good job.

I thought he did a pretty good job defensively.”

GameDay to feature MSU vs. Maryland

Sparty leads fans in a “yes” chant on Jan. 25, 2014, at Breslin Center at ESPN’s College GameDay. The Spartans played the University of Michigan that night. STATE NEWS FILE PHOTO

Swim teams take on Oakland The MSU men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will welcome the Oakland Golden Grizzlies at 1 p.m.

Jan. 23 at McCaffree Pool in IM Sports-West. This will be the men’s teams’ first and only home meet in 2016.

Both teams look to bounce back after a loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. The men were edged out 186-101, and the women fell 182-104.

The women’s team is led by seniors Elizabeth Brown and Marina Borri, who both swam at the AT&T Winter Nationals from Dec. 3-5, 2015 in Federal Way, Washington. Brown led the way with her seventh-place finish in the C Finals of the 200-meter butterfly. Borri swims the breaststroke and 200 individual medley for the Spartans.

The rest of the Spartan women’s team will look to their meet against the Golden Grizzlies as a chance to get back on track, as they did at the Northwestern Invite earlier this swim season, where they placed second.

A whole team effort led to the solid finish in Evanston. Freshman Cathryn Armstrong had a fourth-place finish in the 200-meter backstroke, and sophomore Racheal Bukowski and freshman Courtney Aycock

breaststroke. Rodriguez, the winner of the Puerto Rican title, placed 44th in the 100-meter backstroke.

At the Northwestern Invite, the men’s swimming and diving team earned first place, displaying both their talent and depth through numerous events. Between two events, the 100-meter individual medley and 50-meter butterfly, the Spartans earned seven lanes overall in the final heats.

Both Spartan teams have the

talent to compete with teams all across the nation, as seen at the Northwestern Invite. With only two dual meets left on the 2015-16 schedule, they will have to perform at their best to continue the success.

The Spartans will finish up their dual-meet season when they travel to Ann Arbor to face rival University of Michigan on Feb. 6. The Big Ten championship for the men’s and women’s teams follows in the last two weeks of February.

When No. 7 Maryland comes to Breslin Center Saturday, so will ESPN’s College GameDay. The men’s basketball team will host the Terrapins (17-2, 6-1 Big Ten) in conference play at 6:30 p.m., but the fans are in it for the long haul.

Doors to Breslin open at 8:30 a.m. for Izzone members and 9 a.m. for the public, according to Spartan Athletics. Izzone members may enter through the ticket office and the public through Gate B. Admission is free for every fan, according to Spartan Athletics, and parking is also available for fans at 63W, 66A and at Jenison Field House.

MSU fans should be familiar with the GameDay atmosphere.

In the fall, the football team was an undefeated 4-0 when featured. The Spartans’ sole GameDay in Spartan Stadium last season was a win against the Oregon Ducks in a nationally televised top-10 game.

The last time East Lansing welcomed a basketball GameDay was Jan. 25, 2014 when the Spartans played University of Michigan.

This will be MSU’s eighth time being featured on the ESPN basketball show, the most of any Big Ten program.

Gaming craze expanding to East Lansing after City Council vote

“I think it could market well for students and a wide range of people. ” Matthew Ao Owner of future “Escape the Room”

Games of “Escape the Room” have been sweeping the nation as of late, with rooms in high-profile locations such as New York, Boston, Scottsdale, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

Escapetheroom.com boasts these locations with plans to expand to Detroit, Chicago and Indianapolis, among others. Many other local businessmen and companies have opened up escape rooms of their own with locations in Ann Arbor, Warren and Davison.

“In 2007 Japan came up with the first one, and only a couple years ago they started coming to the states,” Ao said during the meeting. “There are around 200 in the states now and there are four in Michigan in the last year and over the last two months, actually, two more came up — one more in Grand Rapids and one more in Okemos.”

These escape rooms are a game of problem solving and added flavor of mystery. Groups of people ranging in sizes of 6-14 are placed and “locked” in a room of their choice. The

East Lansing might be one of the next cities to be swept up by an escape game craze, as East Lansing City Council approved a special use permit for the construction of the game room in the basement of 301 M.A.C. Avenue at its Jan. 5 meeting.

In a unanimous 5-0 vote, Matthew Ao, a software engineer, was given permission by the council to move forward with the new game room, considered an “‘escape room’ where participants work to solve puzzles as a group in order to win the game,” according to the City Council memo.

groups must work together from then on to solve puzzles that will ultimately unlock the door. If the groups can not do so in an hour the game is up and the group loses.

“At no time will they actually be locked in the room, but there will be a secret door out and they will have to either find the secret door or find out how to unlock it,” Ao said of the groups and their objective.

The escape rooms are usually a collection of rooms with each individual room having its own theme and corresponding scenario.

Groups will have to choose one room before they start and will have an hour to complete the clues - which are made by Ao - therein to ultimately unlock the room.

“To start we’re just going to open up three rooms, all independent of each other,” Ao said.

“The three themes will be an office, a closet and a bomb shelter.”

Some current locations include a photo opportunity for the losers and winners with signs proclaiming the group’s victory or defeat.

For example a group who fails to unlock the secret door in a zombie themed room will hold up signs claiming “zombie food” or “zombies rule.” Winners have held up signs bragging about how quickly they unlocked the door.

“There are many options that could be come up with but, for example, you could find a diary where you see some random person cataloging an adventure they had and maybe there’s a computer somewhere else with a password,” Ao said. “Find the password somewhere, you look in there for pictures, just stuff like that.”

The door the groups enter through will never be locked and employees will monitor the rooms via camera for “the creepy factor and to make sure the players are safe,” Ao said.

It’s an added touch that will ultimately help put some strain and pressure on the players.

This raised slight concern from council member Erik Altmann about safety issues, but Planning and Zoning Administrator Darcy Schmitt said the police weren’t worried with the monitoring of the rooms and there wasn’t a fire

safety issue as long as the door the groups enter through remained unlocked.

Ao expects the student population in East Lansing will be receptive to the game and is hoping to draw not just students, but families and businesses as well.

“They’re fun for basically anybody and they’re really good team building exercises as well for companies,” Ao said. “I think it could market well for students and a wide range of people.

“It’s really popular in China right now, too, which is actually why I felt (the escape room

idea) was super safe here, because at the very least all the Chinese students know of these as well.”

Ao said he hopes to have a 70 percent success rate for the groups and each escape room will have a varying difficulty level. The games are scheduled by hour time slot and are by appointment only online with the entry fee costing $20 per person.

No concrete time slot was set by Ao at the meeting for construction of the rooms in the basement of 301 M.A.C. but said he wanted to get going on the project right away.
