WEDNESDAY, MARC H 1 8 , 2 01 5

Young and in our teenage years, we are constantly seeking fast and easy entertainment. Whether it’s a new app on the iPhone, a computer game or a video game console, entertainment is quickly provided for us at the tip of our fingers.

As young adults f looded with tuition and housing fees, money can get a little tight at times. In an effort to combat this, we look for ways to cut down on spending and are on the lookout for discounts. For entertainment, some buy vid-

eo game consoles, and I’m a big believer that purchasing one is a terrible investment.

Today, buying an Xbox One and a PS4 from Best Buy will cost you $349.99 and $399.99, respectively. As a one-time cost, this isn’t too bad. However, after purchasing games for about $60 each, additional controllers for $60 each, and paying an annual fee of more than $50 to play online, the expenses quickly add up.

So why do we pay hundreds of dollars to play games when we can download high-quality games from the app store for just 99 cents? Even if you only play the game once and then get a new one, you will still spend significantly less money than you would had you purchased a console.

A nother big reason why gaming consoles are poor investments for students is because of how quickly they

lose value. The moment the box is opened and a disc is placed in it, it loses value and is considered used. Games sold for $59.99 can instantly be found on Craigslist for as low as $20. This makes it difficult to make even half your money back.

So what now? By all means, if you want to play video games, go ahead and buy a console. But realize how much money will actually be spent on it. It adds up, and it adds up fast.

Consider other options for entertainment, such as simply hanging out with friends, playing a sport, or reading a book. It’s getting harder and harder to cut down on expenses, but some moves are necessary. Gaming consoles are poor investments for college students, and we should look elsewhere for a lower-cost entertainment source.

MSU’s impact in agriculture touches all parts of Michigan

While straddling the back of her horse named Jeepster, MSU alumna Rebecca Sauber and her teammate chased cows from one pen to another in a competition at the MSU Pavilion for Agriculture and Livestock Education on Farm Lane.

Sorting, as the activity is called, is a contest involving two horseback riders and requires the pair to work together to lead certain cattle into a specific pen.

The contest was one of the many events held under the umbrella of the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources’ Agriculture and Natural Resources Week.

This year marked the 100th annual ANR Week, a time dedicated to educating and bringing together those who are involved in today’s world of agriculture and natural resources.

And it only makes sense that a week that brought more than 50 conferences, programs, events and leaders in the agriculture industry was held at an establishment that finds its very roots in the field.

“A lot of the work we do is informed and works with science, technology, (the) environment and mathematics.”

Directly following this year’s ANR Week WEDNESDAY, MARC H 1 8 , 2 01 5

is National Agriculture Day, which is today, March 18. The day provides recognition of agriculture across the country and celebrates its contributions.

Although the face of agriculture and the current trends continue to evolve and change, ANR Week and MSU continue to talk about the issues that matter.

MSU Extension Interim Director Ray Hammerschmidt said although ANR Week has changed to meet the needs of people involved in the industry, its importance has not gone to the wayside.

“Agriculture continues to be relevant,” Hammerschmidt said.

THE BEGINNING Where many of the buildings of today’s campus stand, there were once fields and farms — important pieces to MSU at its birth.

The Michigan Constitution of 1850 called for

an “agricultural school” to be established and five years later, MSU was born.

On Feb. 12, 1855, former Michigan Gov. Kinsley S. Bingham signed a bill which established MSU, known at that time as Agricultural College of the State of Michigan, the country’s first agricultural college.

Since its establishment, MSU has seen many name changes, each incorporating the emphasis on agriculture.

It’s been State Agricultural College, Michigan Agricultural College, Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science. The institution finally became Michigan State University in 1964.

Areas of study emphasized in the beginning included agriculture, engineering and military science.

Evidence of this being a trend that has survived rings true with current enrollment sta-

News MSU implementing new cybersecurity measure

BY KATIE WINKLER KWINKLER@STATENEWS.COM

In an effort to better secure Enterprise Business Systems, MSU’s resource for payroll and

finance data, the university has adopted a two-factor authentication for its users, including faculty and student workers.

By creating this protection, MSU is moving to a more mod-

ern standard of cybersecurity.

The new method asks for two different requirements to access an account — a more secure method than username and password alone. A NetID and

password will be required, as it is now, but they will be followed by a six-digit code sent to a second source, such as a cell phone or email.

It compares something users

Many MSU alumni turn to Walsh College to earn their MBA. As one of the largest and most respected graduate business schools in Michigan, Walsh College is expanding business knowledge and skills for hundreds of MSU alumni looking to advance their careers.

have to something they know, said Beth Bonsall, media relations for IT Services.

The two-factor authentication security system will be rolled out to student systems in the future.

As of last Friday, it is only available for EBS users.

Bonsall compares this system to how an ATM card works — to withdraw money, the individual must have the bank card and know their PIN number.

Even though the security method is not yet available for student MSU accounts, assistant professor of journalism and media and information Rick Wash suggests students use this system for other online accounts.

Wash recently conducted a study on the cybersecurity decisions home computer users make.

These users have to figure out a way to protect themselves of their own accord, he said.

“A lot of people talked about how they are threatened by hackers, but different people had different ideas of what a hacker is,” Wash said. “Depending on the view you had, you made different decisions.”

Some saw these hackers as teenagers in their parents’ basements, while others thought they were trained professionals. For the people who saw them as professional criminals, they felt that they were not a target because the hackers were going after the “rich and important” people.

Wash explained there are over a million people who have access to a user’s computer, and they can be targeted by anyone in the world.

He suggests using two-factor authentication on all personal online accounts, including Google, Apple, Facebook and Dropbox, to protect oneself.

A majority of security issues begin when users are prompted to enter their Google information, for example, on a non-Google site. This is a common way for hackers to gain passwords.

Media and information doctoral student Mengtian Jiang is a research assistant for the Online Safety for the Ages project, which looked at different age groups and their awareness about computer theft.

Jiang and her partners went to participants’ homes to observe their habits. Users commonly have the same passwords for multiple accounts, and found users commonly keep a password book near their computers.

College students have started using software to store their passwords and account names.

Jiang refers to this as a “generational difference.”

Turning on two-factor authentication can protect users even if a hacker figured out a password.

“Two-factor authentication is a great idea for the university.

It doesn’t seem quite as important for students, but the same idea exists (for other online accounts) and it is a really good idea,” Wash said. “It’s better to have the protection than not.”

Revised Gateway project design spares first Biggby Coffee location

The first-ever Biggby Coffee store, which is located in East Lansing, will not be torn down for an apartment complex project, as originally planned by DTN Management.

CEO Bob Fish founded the company in 1995 as Beaner’s Coffee. The original store was opened at the Grand River Avenue location March 15, 1995. The franchise now has more than 200 locations in the U.S. The Gateway construction project, first proposed in 2013, required demolishing the coffee shop to make space for a six-story apartment building.

Cost estimates for the Gateway project are down significantly after the design changes from $22 million to $9 million. In addition, the number of apartment units has been cut from the proposed 160.

Gateway will now focus on a vacant lot across from Delta Street. The complex will feature underground parking, a bank with a drive-thru, available space for retail stores on the first floor and a total of 39 two-bedroom apartments on upper floors.

The original plan had also included a rebuilt Biggby coffee on the first floor, which will no longer be necessary.

Members of the Michigan Student Power Network will march to the Capitol on March 26 and provide a list of demands that reflect a progressive vision of Michigan that the group said represents young people’s needs.

The demands will be received by a group of progressive democratic legislators, including Rep. Stephanie Chang, D-Detroit.

Demands range from environmental issues to racial and political issues in Michigan, including ending gerrymandering, recognizing the failed nature of the war on drugs, repealing the right-to-work law, eliminating the educational achievement authority and including gender identity and sexual orientation in all anti-discrimination laws.

The list also includes comprehensive legislation to protect African-American citi-

“This is a great location, close to campus,” said political science junior Keith Davis. “And I can easily access somewhere to study.”

Students also appreciate the quiet late-night atmosphere, as opposed to the sometimes raucous Main Library.

“It is usually quiet (at Biggby),” said accounting senior John Chen. “And knowing it’s 24/7 is a big influence in choosing to study here.”

The East Lansing Department of Planning, Building and Development has made a recommendation to City Council to review the application. The process is scheduled to begin at the March 24 work session.

zens from violence, including police violence as well as demands for “equitably funded education.”

The march and rally was created as a way for students in Michigan to provide a collective vision of what they see as the most important issues that need to be addressed by state lawmakers, statewide organizer Ian Matchett said.

There are issues on the list that could be directly impacted by having hundreds of students support them, MSU Students United organizer Duncan Tarr said.

“The shut-down of line 5, which pumps fossil fuels under the straits of Mackinac, is a campaign that already exists, so adding our voices to that can be really powerful,” Tarr said.

Student organizers from groups around Michigan have been working directly with state legislators this month to work on ways in which the march can create real change for young people in Michigan.

WE DNE S DAY, MARC H 1 8 , 2 01 5

“Lawmakers really see the event as sort of a ‘sexy’ thing in their words. It won’t automatically change anything, but they are willing to work with us on legislation proposals moving forward,” said Gabby Barahona, another student organizer.

Matchett said lawmakers want to see from young people if they’re serious, and the march will demonstrate they are.

“We are a collective group, and we’re going to vote for people who are going to represent our interests,” he said.

Currently, student groups from eight universities are involved in the march, including MSU, Central Michigan University, Eastern Michigan University, U-M Ann Arbor and Dearborn, Wayne State University, Grand Valley State University and Kalamazoo College.

Students are meeting at about 11 a.m. on March 26 at the Lansing City Market, where they will begin marching to the Capitol.

Grant Foley Lansing resident Fact: Owner of Grand River Barber company “My biggest struggle was getting out of the area I’m from. I just tend to kind of know everybody down there and get into a lot of trouble down there. That was a struggle at first. ... I originally got out of that area through playing basketball. I went to a community college and played two years of basketball.

That really matured me after I got out of where I was from. ... My aunt’s a cosmetologist. I always had my own clippers. I would cut my own hair and my brothers’ hair. When I was playing basketball, I cut most of my teammates’ hair. After I did two years there I was just kind of trying to figure out what I was going to school for, and that’s when I decided to come up here and go to barber college.”

Fraternities and sororities gearing up for Songfest The dance competition is a part of this year’s Greek Week and, although it is about a month away, fraternities and sororities have spent the entire semester preparing

BY LAUREN OWINGS LOWINGS@STATENEWS.COM

Although Greek Week is about a month from its start, MSU’s fraternity and sorority chapters are already preparing for the multitude of events for this year’s theme of “Greatest Hits.”

Keeping with the theme is the Songfest competition, which students have been preparing for all semester.

Every year, fraternities and sororities across campus team up to compete in the Greek Week dance competition Songfest.

While the actual competition isn’t until April 22, the teams begin preparing from the start of the spring semester.

Biomedical laboratory science senior and member of Delta Chi Cody Scheuerman has participated in Songfest for the past four years.

Scheuerman said he continues to do Songfest because of the connections he makes with the other team members. He said the sorority members that he’s participated in Songfest with in the past are some of his closest friends.

“You get to know your brothers more as well because you hang out with them so much during practice,” Scheuerman said.

Before spring break, Scheuerman said the practices are usually once a week for about two hours. After that the teams usually get together two or three times a week.

He said the challenges of practicing are learning all of the movements and matching them with the beat so that everyone is in sync.

Packaging junior and Pi Beta Phi member Lija Preston, who is organizing this year’s competition for her team, said she and the other coordinator run four practices a week. This allows other team members to coordinate the practices with their busy schedules.

Pi Beta Phi, teamed up this year with Delta Chi, has been working hard at choreographing the dance.

Preston said that she and the other Pi Beta Phi member in charge have been offering their sorority sisters the chance to provide ideas for the choreography. She said that way everyone can be involved.

For Preston, Songfest provides an oppor-

tunity to connect with Greek Week and get more invested in the money being raised and the relationships being built.

“Songfest for me is a great way to get to know others in the greek community outside of philanthropy events or our day-today activities,” Preston said. “It’s also a great way to get exercise.”

This will be Preston’s third year participating in Songfest. She said while practicing is a lot of fun, it also takes a lot of work to learn the choreography.

“It’s a little bit serious but you want to enjoy yourself while you’re doing it,” Preston said.

Education sophomore Hannah Long has decided to participate in Songfest for a second time, after she tried it out last year and loved doing it.

Long said she loves working with the other girls on her team. She said the dance is long, and it can be a challenge to memorize it at first, but after a lot of practice it becomes ingrained in her mind.

“People take it seriously,” Long said.

“There’s definitely times where we goof off but in the end we want to do well.”

WE DNE S DAY, MARC H 1 8 , 2 01 5

Looking to make a name for themselves on the national circuit, the newfound MSU Paintball Club has been resurrected after nine years of inactivity.

“We have nationals at Lakeland, Florida,” Chinese sophomore Zachary Cooper said. “It’s a very fast-paced game, very aggressive, and it looks dangerous.”

Coming together in the fall, a group of friends hoped to expand the sport of paintball at MSU. With the intent of heading to local paintball fields for some fun on the weekend, the club has now entered a number of tournaments held by the National Collegiate Paintball Association and are currently gearing up for the national championships from April 17 to 19.

Supply chain management freshman Joe Lynch explains that the club is multi-dimensional, encouraging anyone to give the sport a try.

“We had a club day where we took 20 people out and they got to rent guns for a really discounted price and just experience the sport,” Lynch said. “Obviously, we want to wing nationals and make a name for ourselves, but the other part is to grow the sport and bring the university to the front field of paintball.”

Seen as a chaotic sport that can be played with friends in the back woods, collegiate paintball is actually driven by strict formation and strategy.

Players use terms such as “Dorito” and “snake” to describe the design of the air bunkers on opposing sides.

“It’s five on five and the idea is to have two attackers on each corner and one person in the middle,” Cooper said. “There is a center flag and you have to grab the flag and touch the other people’s start box.”

Fully backed by the professional team Detroit Action, MSU Paintball Club is allowed to use both their indoor and outdoor practice fields, and they only have to pay for cases of paint.

Even though the group is newly formed, that doesn’t correlate to inexperience on the team.

Kinesiology junior Danielle Rosebrook has been playing paintball since she was 10 years old, and has even played for the Detroit Action’s second line.

But practice can only go so far.

The team has been able to play a number of collegiate teams and has even played a professional team.

When practicing in Fort Wayne, Indiana, club ran into a new team merging onto the professional circuit.

“We actually beat one of the lines, which was a really big deal,” Lynch said. “And going into that you have the mentality you can beat anybody.”

Sports MSU Club Hockey takes home ACHA national championship MSU Division III hockey club took home the national championship down in Alabama by defeating Florida Gulf Coast 6-2. Head coach Don Headly said the team came together after a 7-0 win against Saginaw Valley and has not looked back since

BY JESSICA SATTLER JSATTLER@STATENEWS.COM

Teams from across the country competed for the title, but MSU came out on top.

After an intense competition, MSU Division III Club Hockey won the 2014-2015 ACHA national championship game in Pelham, Alabama March 14.

“No one really had us penciled in to make that kind of run,” junior forward Will Badner said. “During the season we weren’t really a favorite to win it, and that made it that much sweeter to do what we did.”

The tournament had the Spartans facing off against Alabama, Colorado State, Pitts-Johnstown and Bryn Athyn College in the semi-finals.

The Spartans went up against Florida Gulf Coast with the national championship on the line.

The two teams fought hard, and in the end it was the Spartans that brought the championship back to East Lansing with a 6-2 win.

The score was tied 2-2 through the first two periods, but it was junior right winger Jayson Lottes who broke through and scored the go-ahead goal.

After that the flood gates opened. The Spartans used offensive fire power to take the win.

Sophomore forward Triston Eggenberger and junior left winger Chris Coyne both registered one goal and one assist.

Junior right winger Branden Tracey and junior left winger Connor Flynn each contributed one assist, and freshman defenseman Paul Wagner and junior forward Derek Compeau registered two assists each.

Sophomore goaltender Andrew Freeman made 46 saves on 48 shots, and the winning goal for the Spartans was made by senior forward Mike Lipari.

“It was a really good team effort,” Tracey said.

The team attributed their win to their chemistry and their performance at regionals,

where they ranked third for the north region.

Their win against Saginaw Valley State University, whose team has two national championship titles, filled the team with spirit.

Izzo reflects on what could have been after Big Ten title loss Even after a tough loss Tom Izzo said the Spartans have to move on and focus on facing Georgia

BY OMARI SANKOFA II OSANKOFA@STATENEWS.COM

After falling to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship Sunday, head coach Tom Izzo was adamant that there were 10

no moral victories to be taken from the loss.

W hen he addressed t he media Tuesday, his tone was a little different.

The Spartans were seven minutes away from securing

Izzo’s fifth Big Ten championship banner before Wisconsin flipped the script and stole the game in overtime.

Though he said the team got over the hangover of losing on Monday, he admitted that given the injuries and other problems the Spartans have dealt with, winning the championship would have changed his interpretation of the season.

“I think I said it to you guys after, I can’t remember, I was kind of brain dead after that game, but that banner in my mind would have been as significant as any banner hanging out there,” Izzo said.

“I just mean I know those injuries and I know how hard

Headly said.

The team worked hard to get to the national championships, and exceeded expectations after a rough season.

With their first national title under their belts, Headly and the team are optimistic

it was to come back and I know we weren’t as talented in certain areas and I know what we went through,” Izzo continued. “That one would have been one if I would have walked out for 10 more years and ever was questioning a team midway through the season where we are, I would just glance up and say, ‘Oh, yeah, we’ve still got a chance’ and that’s the way I looked at that.”

The Spartans won’t be hanging a new Big Ten championship banner, but Izzo said out of the 125 minutes of basketball the Spartans played in Chicago, there were 110 minutes where MSU played “pret-

about the future. The majority of the players are returning in the fall, and they believe they will have a good shot at the national title again next year.

“I couldn’t ask for a better bunch of young men,” Headly said.

ty damned good.”

From the loss, Izzo has vowed to become a better coac h. T he weekend has forced his hand on his stance on fouling at the end of games, and said he will re-evaluate his approach after the season.

At age 60, Izzo is still learning. And he believes that’s a good thing. A f ter returning from a recruiting trip on Monday, he sat down and watch video of the tournament with senior guard Travis Trice, senior forward Branden Dawson and junior guard Denzel Valentine — not as a coach talking to his players, but as equals.

Izzo said when he sat down to speak with his trio there was a feeling of equalit y between the coach, currently in his 20th season, and the players.

“It was talking with them instead of down to them,” he said. “Or up to them more often than not. Yeah, partnership, very good, and you know, I haven’t had to do that for a few years, and so it was good.

“I left there feeling good.

Kind of got me over the hangover that took a little longer than normal and today has been a good day. Been a good day and hopefully we can grow from it.”

Column: MSU women’s basketball team deserved a shot at WNIT Suzy Merchant announced Monday that MSU would not accept any postseason berth because of a roster that was too depleted. Women’s basketball reporter Zach Libby explains why the Spartans deserved a chance to play, despite only having eight healthy players

BY ZACH LIBBY ZLIBBY@STATENEWS.COM

Dear Suzy Merchant, I for one can say for everyone that this season has had its ups and downs. Whether or not it’s considered to be a disappointing campaign, there was an out that would have made everyone feel better.

First, let’s be honest, your six-year streak of NCAA postseason berths was coming to an end.

Blame it on injuries that plagued the bench and being forced to shell out eight players to do battle with full rosters on game day.

It also didn’t help that your freshman guard,

Jasmine Lumpkin, left the team to be close to her family.

But even after losing five straight games to open up Big Ten play, a 29-point loss to Maryland, failing to beat Michigan in the regular season and picking up a mere two wins over opponents ranked in the top 25, there was still light at the end of a long tunnel.

That light being the Women’s National Invitational Tournament.

You’re familiar with this bracket. You competed in it the first year you arrived in East Lansing, taking MSU all the way to the championship round.

So what’s different this time around? The press release you sent out Monday might say one thing to you, I think you’re scared.

“Michigan State head coach Suzy Merchant and the Spartan women’s basketball team have decided to forgo any postseason this season due to the welfare of the student-athletes.”

Really? The welfare of the student-athletes?

Last time I checked, you didn’t seem timid to

send out the likes of Aerial Powers and Tori Jankoska for 35-38 minutes a game to remain competitive against much more talented programs.

And now when an opportunity comes to play in the WNIT once again, when you know that there’s a strong possibility that MSU will get home court advantage, due to the name recognition and attendance at Breslin Center, you announce that the year is over.

So what’s the main reason as to why you decided to forgo the 2014-15 season? Is your ego so big that you’d rather forget that this year ever happened, rather than swallow your dignity and play in a less renowned tournament and accept the fact that your impressive NCAA tournament streak has been terminated?

We don’t know if it was you or your players who decided to forgo the postseason, but think about it from the senior’s perspective. Did it cross your mind as to how the likes of Becca Mills, Anna Morrissey and Madison Williams would feel about their final year ending so abruptly?

Did you think about how the die-hard MSU

fans who made the trek to the arena in the freezing cold and harsh conditions would feel about not having the chance to watch their favorite program compete for another few weeks, despite knowing that the product on the court was substandard in comparison to the last few years?

Instead of going forward in thinking about the well-being of next year’s team, you should have thought more of the players who had to overcome an abundance of adversity to build a path that could lead to a postseason berth.

I’m not sure what game you saw in the second round of the conference tournament last week when your team exacted revenge on the Wolverines by 20 points, before playing a hard-fought game with the Terrapins in the quarterfinals.

That was a sign of a team ready to compete for a trophy, a team with a chip on their shoulder, ready to convince critics that they are a formidable basketball team.

But you took that away in a blink of an eye.

I hope the rest of the team agrees with your rash decision.
