Poorly engineered headline by MSU Today is regressive and off-putting

By Celeste Bott cbott@statenews.com

Full disclosure: I am not a woman engineer, nor do I aspire to be one.

But I have a hell of a lot of respect for the female Spartans who do. And I think those Spartans deserve to be treated with better respect by their university.

As editor-in-chief of a newspaper that covers MSU, I read MSU’s news website, MSU Today, religiously. Recently I came across an interesting story with a troubling headline.

It was about female engineering students working to improve their machine-shop skills. For people like me who couldn’t tell you what that means, apparently it involves learning the logistics of operating a drill press and a ban saw.

In other words, very important tasks for students going into the engineering field.

The article was careful and quick to point out that women are capable of operating these machines just as well as men, but that women tend to not have the same level of experience or confidence in doing so. I took no issue with either statement, or even a quote from an engineering professor who said that some women can be intimidated by the equipment.

What did offend me was the headline: “Women engineer-

ing students going ‘shopping.’”

I don’t know anything about machine shop, but I do know a few things about headlines. I even know a few things about clever headlines. Puns and plays on words are natural and effective tricks to draw a reader in to a story, and it’s certainly not wrong to employ that kind of strategy.

But this attempt to be witty didn’t sit well with me. For one, it perpetuates an age-old stereotype that all women are shopaholics, which I can testify is not true. It also implies a complex, technical skill has to be dumbed down for women so they can keep up with their male peers in the same program.

I can already see the comments on this story that will criticize me for being too sensitive. After all, it’s just a few words, an attempt to be funny. But I surround myself every day by smart, wonderful women who spend hours a day writing headlines at The State News, and they all felt similarly put off. Even the male editors cringed when they saw it.

Because isn’t MSU always encouraging more women to go into STEM fields? And if women at MSU can’t expect their own university to write about them in a respectful way, who will?

Again, I’m not a female engineer. But I’m guessing if you put in the work for all of these notoriously difficult engineering classes and projects, you want MSU to acknowledge you’re good for a hell of a lot more than swiping your credit card at H&M.

Have you ever had a complete stranger buy a drink, meal or something else of signficance for you?

It’s incredible how much a stranger can brighten a person’s day. And every single one of us has the power to do it.

I didn’t have a good Monday to begin this week — a feeling I’m certain I shared with many. So rather than brewing coffee at home Tuesday, I decided I would try to perk things up by getting my daily dose of caffeine in a more delicious — and more expensive — form.

I strolled into Starbucks and ordered a medium (err…“grande?”

I don’t know) white chocolate mocha from a fellow (err…“barista?” coffee lingo is not my forte) behind the counter.

The mocha was $4.51 after tax, a staggering number for a 16 ounce

wednesday, January 2 8 , 2 01 5

drink that doesn’t have alcohol in it if you ask me. But like I mentioned, the day before was just “one of those days,” and I wanted good coffee so badly I would’ve given the guy a blank check if it came down to it.

I pulled out $5 of the remaining $7 in my wallet, tried to hand it to the guy whose nametag said ‘Jonny’, and he shook his head.

“It’s on the house,” he said. “...................................,” I replied.

That astute response on my end was followed by a few more seconds of dead air.

“Wait, what?” I finally mustered.

“It’s on the house, man. Have a good day.”

“But … why?” I asked, still only able to manage monosyllabic words.

“Because I feel like doing something nice for someone,” he said.

Now, I don’t believe I had ever seen this guy before in my life. We had no previous relationship, and he had no motive — other than good will — to give me that drink for free.

But he did it anyway. I still can’t explain why. And it turned around not only my day, but the entire start

to my week.

I walked into that Starbucks in a sour mood, and I left the place beaming. Not because I had saved four bucks and some change. The money I saved had nothing to do with it. I left in a good mood because someone who had absolutely no reason to try to make my day slightly better went out of his way to do exactly that.

And considering the day before was pretty miserable, it meant a little extra to me.

Like Jonny from Starbucks did for me yesterday, all of us have the ability to turn a stranger’s day around, even though we don’t have to. So, when the opportunity presents itself, perhaps we should all try a little bit harder to recognize it.

I know I will now. Not all of us are baristas at Starbucks, so we might have to get creative. I can’t say how I’m going to pay it forward, but I hope I find a good way to do it. We have a lot more power to change a person’s mindset than many of us appreciate.

So, cheers, everybody. Let’s go try to make someone’s day better.

Gymnastics head coach Kathie Klages watches her gymnast perform on the beam during a meet Jan. 6, 2012, at Jenison Field House. state news file photo

Gymnastics head coach Kathie Klages reflects on 25 seasons Klages is the longest tenured head coach at MSU and has seen her fair share of ups and downs. Her gymnasts say she’s been a mentor and a friend, and she shares her attempts to change with the times and what’s kept her motivated during her long career

Big Ten Coach of the Year awards won by Kathie Klages

By Matthew Argillander margillander@statenews.com

Kathie Klages has been coaching gymnastics at MSU before many current Spartans were even born.

For Klages, who is in her 25th season, her tenure is a testament to her relationship with the university.

Former Spartan gymnast Kelsey Mazur, who was on the team from 2011 to 2013, said that one would be hard-pressed to find someone who has a negative opinion of Klages.

“I think everyone in the athletic community can attest to the fact that she’s very wellliked,” Mazur said. “She’s so sweet and all the

The State N e ws

coaches that she shares the hallway with in Jenison Fieldhouse all adore her … it’s obviously a testament to her that she’s been (at MSU) this long.”

During her career, Klages had a winning record in 21 out of 25 completed seasons, won three Big Ten Coach of the Year awards (1996, 2004, 2006), four Central Region Coach of the Year awards (1993, 1996, 1998, 2000) and has had 131 Academic All-Big Ten selections.

But Klages has no problem crediting men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo as the guy who has been around the longest.

“I think a lot of people think (25 years) is a big deal — my family, close friends,” Klages said. ”(But) for me I realize that (Tom) Izzo has been

wednesday, January 2 8 , 2 01 5

here longer … I have no problem with saying Tom Izzo has been here longer than I have. I’m the longest reigning head coach. It has gone by so fast that it’s amazing to me that its been 25 years already.”

Tr ansitioning to college coaching Before becoming the fourth head coach in the history of MSU women’s gymnastics, Klages spent five years as the assistant coach of Great Lakes Gymnastics in Lansing.

“I was actually coaching private club gymnastics here in Lansing when the (MSU) job opened up, and I truly wasn’t that fired up about changing from private club to college,”

Anya Rath Managing editor arath@statenews.com @thesnews

Klages said. “I had no college coaching experience so Michigan State took a big chance on me when they hired me.”

But Klages has been winning ever since.

Former gymnast Heather Cooper Kim, who was on the team from 1991 to 1995, posted a winning record in 21 of her 25 seasons, was one of Klages’ first athletes at MSU but was certainly not unused to Klages’ coach style. Klages had been her coach since she was 12.

“She was one of my club gymnastics coaches when I was growing up,” Cooper Kim said. “She had taken the MSU job the year before I graduated (high school), so I was technically her first recruit that she had at Michigan State.”

Klages has experienced plenty of positive moments during her career, but there have been times that her courage was tested. Gymnast Kathryn Mahoney was paralyzed in a practice accident in late 2010.

Klages said it was her worst moment in coaching.

“Have we all grown from her experience? Yes,” Klages said.

“Have we had to do a lot of soul searching after that experience of her getting hurt? Yeah. But Kathryn is such a fighter and such an incredible young woman that I’m proud every time I see her.”

The injury to Mahoney was devastating for all involved, but Klages is now stronger for it according to Cooper Kim. “There were definitely some hardships that have come the last few seasons especially with the tragic accident of Kathryn being paralyzed, and she has persevered and has come through (stronger),” Cooper Kim said.

Klages believes that every year presents a new challenge, forcing her to change her approach to each season. She said that might be her favorite part of the job.

“Every year is such a challenge. What worked last year perfectly for your team may not even come close to working the next year,” Klages said. “Each year was so rewarding in one way or another … I love it.”

Coaching for life Klages said she can come up with multiple instances of great memories of her past and present teams, their performances and has kept strong relationships with alumni.

Cooper Kim considers Klages to be one of her most dear friends to this day.

“We had that great kind of mentor-student relationship all the way through my high school years and then that more mature coach-gymnast relationship all through college,” Cooper Kim said. “She was always an honest great friend through all of that.”

Part of that strong alumni relationship comes from the way Klages prepares the women on her team, who were often in the prime of their careers before to starting college, for life after gymnastics.

Former gymnast Rhiannon Bosse, who was on the team from 2005 to 2007, said she believes that Klages prepared all of her girls for the inevitable end to their athletic careers and helped them to become great people.

“When you finish gymnastics you have to move on to the next thing, it’s kind of like a break up in a sense, a lot of girls struggle with what they’re going to do next...I think Kathie did a really great job with preparing us for what that would be like,” Bosse said.

Klages likes to believe that she has had at least a small role in the lives of all of her former athletes and hopes that she has had a positive impact.

“I hope I have just a small little bit of responsibility for who all these young women have turned out to be,” Klages said. “The relationships that we’ve built and kept on all these years is to me my biggest treasure.”

Changing with the times “Obviously the times have changed and so have the athletes,” Klages said. “Some of

(the changes) are very minor things like a change in apparel for practice, but some of them are pretty big things in the sense that we communicate way differently now than we used to. We have a group text thing and the messages go out and I expect everybody to do exactly what they should do

… and you know they’re out texting.”

From changes in apparel during practices to starting a group text for the team members, Klages said the times are constantly changing, as are the athletes.

She said she tries to keep an open mind while adapting to

the changing of the times.

“A lot of things are still very new,” Klages said. “You’re always growing. Every single year there’s new things to learn and new things to try and new ways to motivate your team.”

Klages knows that she can’t coach forever and she said she believes she is in the last stage

of her long career at MSU. “I know that I’m on the twilight of my career, I can say that out loud very clearly,” Klages said. “I do think there will be a time where I will know that I’m going to retire after this year. It will happen … Right now I don’t foresee me not being here.”

With the diversity career fair from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday at Breslin Center, students should make sure they are prepared to leave a lasting impression on potential employers.

More than 160 employers will be looking for students to fill full-time, internship and co-op positions. This is MSU’s largest spring semester event, according to MSU Career Services.

Career fair preparation Career services coordinator Bill Morgan said it is important for students to take the time to prepare.

“Determine what’s the purpose of me attending this event — what am I hoping to get out of it,” Morgan said.

Typically, for freshmen and sophomores, it is more about the experience of attending than actually landing a job. Employers are really looking for juniors and seniors to fill their summer job spots, he said.

Students should strive to leave an impression by presenting themselves professionally.

“A lot of the recruiters will be dressed in polo shirts and khakis. They will seem pretty informal given that you are (dressed up). A good number of them, 25 percent or more, are Michigan State alumni, so they’re really excited to be here and so they may be wearing some type of MSU garb,” Morgan said. “The environment may seem a little more casual than you should treat it.”

Before heading to Breslin Center, students should take a look at the list of employers and see which they are interested in applying to.

Morgan said students should research companies and have a basic idea of what they do. If there is an online application available, it should be completed before the career fair.

“Employers are looking for ‘passion,’ like someone who walks up, who has learned about their company in specifics and has done the research,” Morgan said.

When employers ask for “your story,” do not recite your resume, but give a quick synopsis of who you are and why you are interested in talking to that employer, Morgan.

Double check the resume College student resumes are structured differently than a graduate’s, being arranged in a different order. Students want to show their first priority, and their current full-time job, is being a student. The sections should go in this order: contact information, education, work experience and extracurricular activities.

Every student’s resume should look different depending on their future goals. For example, if an education major volunteered in a classroom, they would want to bring that towards the top.

“Sit down with your resume and check over your resume,” Morgan said. “Make sure, at least, on that one page, they’re presenting themselves in a way that is consistent with what they hope to get out of the event.”

References should not be present on a resume because that should be information only for employers interested in hiring that applicant.

“You don’t want your references to be contacted for random companies before they want to interview you because that’s not fair to your references,” Morgan said.

What to bring The number of resumes that a student should be brought to the career fair depends on the number of employers each student is interested in. Leave the backpacks and coats at the coat check, near the entrance, and only carry around a padfolio with resumes in it. This will be a place to keep track of business cards.

Student IDs will be required to swipe before entering the Breslin Student Events Center to get a name tag with their name and major on it.

Following up Some representatives are staying in the area after the career fair to conduct interviews the following day. If students speak with companies doing so, they should be prepared to accept and attend an interview.

For employers not hosting on-campus interviews, follow up can be done by email and hand-written note, according to Morgan.

“A career fair is actually an interview, it’s just that it’s really short and fast,” Morgan said.

MSU is holding a town hall meeting on the issue of sexual assault on Thursday. Get the full story at statenews.com

Burglary Sometime between Dec. 1, 2014, and Jan. 22, 2015, a 20-year-old student resident of West Holmes Hall’s room was broken into. The victim has a safe, which she told police was not always locked, and its contents were stolen while she was away for winter break. The items stolen include $300 and the wallet she kept it in. There are currently no suspects, and the case is still under investigation by MSU police.

Hit and Run A hit and run occurred in Ramp 4, by the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center late Jan. 21 or early Jan. 22. The vehicle, a 2011 Chevy Silvarado, of a 42-year-old female from Peck, Michigan was

There are no suspects, and it is under investigation.

Make no mistake about it, East Lansing is a college town and something all college towns have in common is their requirement for a good bar scene. MSU students and East Lansing residents are spoiled with an exceptional choice of bars on or near Abbot Street: the city’s de facto bar central.

Each and every bar in the city is buzzing with patrons every weekend. While that can be said of every successful bar in every college town across the country, each East Lansing bar also has unique specials on weeknights to enjoy.

P.T. O’Malley’s Bar and Grill At P.T. O’Malley’s Thursday afternoons fill the bar with patrons ordering $1 burgers and $1 baskets of fries along with half off drinks. The most popular drink order is a pitcher of beer, ranging from $4.50 to $6.50. The standard pitcher contains 60 ounces of beer, which equals five standard (12 ounce) beers; therefore, a pitcher of beer at $4.50 would equal less than $1 spent per beer.

General management senior Brady Lehman likes going to P.T. O’Malley’s because it’s different from some of the other bars around the city.

“I like P.T. O’Malley’s a lot. It isn’t like Rick’s or Harper’s in that it’s more laid back and a good place to go with a group of friends and grab a beer or two,” Lehman said. “Their Thursday special gets a little crazy sometimes. A lot of people I know go there.”

Dublin Square Irish Pub At Dublin on Wednesday, drinks and dinners, with some exceptions, are half off from 9 p.m. to close.

Dublin General Manager Rick Sauer discussed the drink selection at Dublin.

“We sell a lot of craft beer, and have a pretty good whiskey list and most are popular, but we don’t have really one drink that stands out. We’re pretty even across the board,” Sauer said. “We do sell a lot of Jameson, being an Irish bar. But lately bourbon and some American whiskey has been doing well for us. A lot of people are actually ordering Jameson and ginger (ale) right now. ... For our

GreekRank website doesn’t capture the truth surrounding greek life

By Erin Gray egray@statenews.com

DIEGO MESSINA East Lansing resident | Fact: From Dominican Republic, currently unenrolled from Michigan State because of impending study abroad “I don’t know what I’ll do when I graduate. It depends if I get a good job offer, but I’m also a magician so I’ll probably do that. I used to work (professionally) back home in the Dominican Republic. I used to work restaurants, and then I came to school here and now I’m studying. I do close-up magic, like cards and coins and stuff. My parents gave me a little magic box as a kid, and that’s how it started. It’s amazing, because you can do whatever you want. Some people think that I made a pact with the devil — that’s what they say.”

we dne s day, January 2 8 , 2 01 5

Vice president of finance for the Interfraternity Council and finance sophomore Michael LaBelle was curious about fraternities at MSU before enrolling as a freshman. LaBelle surfed the web researching different greek organizations and ended up on the website GreekRank.

GreekRank allows people to post articles and discussions about greek life and also rank sororities and fraternities in any college or university in the U.S. “I think (GreekRank) is a place where some people voice their opinion of a certain house,” LaBelle said. “Whether it’s right or wrong, it’s a freedom of speech thing.”

The website tells the viewer how many people ranked a certain house, and shows an average of the results with a percentage and five star rating system. Rankings of fraternities and sororities are based on seven categories — overall, looks, popularity, classiness, involvement, fun and brotherhood or sisterhood.

“I think that’s what modern society looks upon,” LaBelle said. “People judge others no matter who you are, where your standing is, but at the end of the day (GreekRank) doesn’t really represent a house at all.”

Some greek life members discredit the accuracy of GreekRank.

“It could be random people that know one person in that house and they have some horrible thing that went down, so they want to give that house a bad rank,” Paige Bruno, advertising sophomore and president of Gamma Phi Beta, said. “Or it could be people trying to get themselves way higher.”

The majority of the sororities and fraternities received grades between 60 and 70 percent.

Emily Navoy, supply chain management sophomore and recruitment chair of Gamma Phi Beta said she would rank houses higher.

“MSU has an amazing greek community,” Navoy said. She said she would rank the sororities between 90 and 100 percent.

Gamma Phi Beta ranked just 68 percent, earning them three out of five stars, and the sorority was ranked by 120 people.

LaBelle said rankings on this website did not affect his perception of any houses before rushing. LaBelle is a member of Sigma Chi, which received a three-star rating of 72 percent by 141 people.

“Some of those things might entice people, like parties or reputation, but at end of day you stay for those stronger bonds and reasons that go way beyond those,” LaBelle said.

Megan Ellis, microbiology junior and recruitment chair of Alpha Omicron Pi said GreekRank is not accurate in portraying the quality of a house.

“I don’t think you understand your house until you’re really a part of it,” said Ellis. “No matter what house you’re in, I think that’s the best house to be on.”

Alpha Omicron Pi was ranked at 63 percent, a three star ranking, by 151 people.

“I don’t think it’s accurate because I know I would give my house 100 percent,” Ellis said.

Swimmer awarded prestigious academic scholarship Swim captain David Zoltowski was awarded Churchill Scholarship, sending him to Cambridge University. He is the 17th Spartan ever to win the scholarship

The State N e ws

Austin Koltonowski akoltonowski@statenews.com

This past week electrical engineering senior and swim team captain David Zoltowski was awarded the prominent Churchill Scholarship.

One of 14 students selected throughout the nation, Zoltowski will act as MSU’s 17th Churchill Scholar, the last one last coming in 2008-2009.

Beginning in 1963, the scholarship offers 14 American students the opportunity to pursue a graduate degree in engineering, mathematics, or the sciences at the University of Cambridge located in Cambridge, England.

Depending on their academic accommodations, scholars are wednesday, January 2 8 , 2 01 5

able to study at Cambridge for 9-12 months, of which the scholarship includes the payment of all university fees with an additional living allowance of £11,000-£13,000, or $16,500 and $20,000.

And honors student David Zoltowski earned every cent.

Acting as the captain of the MSU swimming and diving team, Zoltowski is last year’s recipient of the Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship, as well as the MSU Honors College National Scholarship, Walter R. and Margaret W. Yates Memorial Scholarship and Arthur J. Harris Memorial Scholarship.

But with a multitude of successes in his rear view, Zoltowski has his eyes set on the future.

Zoltowsk i is work ing as a

research assistant for electrical and computer engineering professor Selin Aviyente, where he studies how brain networks alter throughout a period of time. More specifically, he monitors the functional connectivity networks describing how areas of the brain work together in time.

“I’ve always been interested in studying the brain,” Zoltowski said.

“But I also have inspiration to study the brains of people with autism as well, because of my brother.”

Born a triplet, David has both a brother and a sister. But as he and his sister graduated high school and left West Lafayette, Indiana, they were leaving behind a true inspiration.

David’s brother, Matthew, has a

form of autism that ultimately acts as encouragement for the Churchill Scholar. As David has yet to study the brain of someone with autism, it is his hope that he can do that in the near future.

Confident in Zoltowski’s ability, Aviyente said she believes David’s success is derived from his dedication.

“David is a very hardworking and motivated student who is really dedicated to research in signal processing and computational neuroscience,” Aviyente said. “I am sure that he will continue to be a very successful Ph.D student and a promising researcher.”

And as Cambridge awaits his arrival, Zoltowski is one step closer to achieving yet another goal.
