MSU Archery Team hosts annual national archery championship

BY SASHA ZIDAR SZIDAR@STATENEWS.COM

On Thursday, May 19 through Sunday, May 22, the MSU Archery Team hosted the 2016 U.S. National Outdoor Collegiate Championship, where archers from across the nation competed at the Hope Sports Complex in Lansing. One of those athletes is MSU biochemistry and molecular biology sophomore Carolyn Graham.

Graham, 19, decided to get involved with the MSU archery team at the beginning of her freshman year.

“I’ve always enjoyed it, I really appreciate picking it back up in college,” Graham said. “I grew up around the MSU archery team. I think I have always been interested in it.”

Carolyn’s father, Dr. Norman Graham, is the director of the Center for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at MSU. Dr. Graham was the MSU archery team coach when he first started teaching at MSU in 1987 and has been practicing archery since the age of 12.

“Archery has been important to me for a long time, and it wasn’t always clear that my daughters would want to do it as well,” Dr. Graham said about Carolyn pursuing archery in college.

“We traveled around when she was quite young, and we would take the archery team to various tournaments, and they would come along.”

Not only does archery run in the Graham’s family blood, but Dr. Graham also makes all of Carolyn’s arrows.

“It’s more like assembling, you have to do various adjustments to make sure the arrows match effectively with the bow,” Dr. Graham said.

Dr. Graham attends all of Carolyn’s events and

drives her to every archery practice.

“I think he’s thrilled that I am doing archery because he loves it so much,” Carolyn said.

In preparation for the championship, Carolyn increased the poundage of her bow to 36 pounds. Increasing bow poundage is a helpful technique for Carolyn because recurve archers at the tournament, the event Carolyn participated in, shot at 70 meters.

“This is my first major outdoor collegiate competition,” Carolyn said, “In a lot of ways I’m using this as a testing time to see where I am and where I need to be when it comes to my skill level. It’s also a lot of fun; I love hanging out with my teammates. Us recurve shooters have to stick together ‘cause there is only three of us and I’m the only girl. It’s a fun time to make connections and improve my skills.”

Carolyn’s teammates are also very supportive and enjoy archery as much as her family. Fisheries and wildlife junior Hunter Jackson is one of Carolyn’s teammates, and has been shooting archery for 12 years. Jackson has also been on the USA Archery Team for five years and the MSU Archery Team for three years, shooting recurve and compound bows.

“I just met Carolyn this year when she came to Michigan State, it’s been really cool getting to know her,” Jackson said. “I’ve kind of known her through her dad pretty much my whole life, since I was seven.”

Although Carolyn didn’t win a medal in this year’s championship, the following Spartans went home with medals around their necks: Emily Bee won gold in female compound, Lucas Jarrett won silver in male bowhunter and Katie Glover won silver in female bowhunter.

Michigan State offers interesting classes to students all yearround, but summer semester stands alone with its selection of fun and unique courses.

The department of kinesiology hosts a variety of exotic courses designed to get students outside during the summer weather.

One such course, titled Great Lakes Sailing, teaches students of any skill level the experience of sailing the seas “on a very large 34 foot sloop rigged cruising sailing vessel.”

The course is helmed, literally, by Captain Joe Smith, who has been teaching the class since 1986.

Smith said students should not be intimidated by the size of the boat, saying, “There is something interesting about big boat sailing - it is very simple.”

The fun offered by the department of Kinesiology does not end there. Also on offer is the class: Intro to Aquatic Paddle Sports.

The class takes students out to Lake Lansing near Haslett, Michigan to learn the ropes of kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and canoeing. In addition, the course provides all necessary equipment - from boats to life jackets.

These courses are both offered multiple times throughout the summer, allowing students plenty of opportunity to fit them into their summer schedule. Another course on offer for the summer semester is a class dedicated to the theme of survival.

The class, titled “Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse”, is taught exclusively as an online course.

The class delves into the subject of how humans react during

THURSDAY, MAY 26 , 2 01 6

times of crisis, and why some survive while others succumb.

The course website states, “Students in survival groups will face multiple challenges and tasks as they attempt to survive the catastrophic event, escape death and preserve the future of civilization. For the ability to survive ultimately rests not with the individual but the group.”

The course is open to both non-MSU students and the general public.

“There is something interesting about big boat sailing – it is very simple.”

Limited resources available on campus

BY DEVAN PENNINGTON DPENNINGTON@STATENEWS.COM

Summer has come for MSU students, but MSU’s campus is still open with resources for the students.

Hours have changed in certain buildings, but students are still able to receive most of the resources traditionally available during either the spring or fall semesters, although to a more limited degree.

The library is available to students all summer, it is not open 24 hours like fall and spring semester but it is there as a resource.

Library times vary during summer semester: starting in June Monday through Thursday, students are welcomed in the main library from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m.

During the weekend, library times vary by day. Friday the library is available from 8 p.m. until 5 p.m., Saturday it is available from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday the available times are from 12 p.m. until 10 p.m.

There are days the main library will be closed and those dates are available on its

website.

There are three engagements centers open on Michigan State’s campus this summer for students.

Students are welcomed to Brody Hall, McDonel Hall and The Union engagement centers Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m, which means others like East Neighborhood’s engagement center or South neighborhood’s will not operate for the duration of the summer semester.

The Learning Resource Center, or LRC is open in Bessey Hall in room 204 for students taking summer classes who need tutoring.

Tutoring in the LRC is available upon scheduling an appointment, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. and is limited to certain classes.

Students who would like to meet with an advisor over the summer can make an appointment by calling the neighborhood office.

Advisors are available Monday through Friday 8 a.m. through 12 p.m. and are closed for lunch from 12 p.m. until 1 p.m.

BY ISAAC CONSTANS ICONSTANS@STATENEWS.COM

During the past weekend, the annual tradition of the East Lansing Art Festival welcomed art from around the country to downtown East Lansing. Tens of thousands of eager Lansing-area residents came to enjoy the pristine, 70-degree weather, live entertainment and foremost the work of nearly 200 artists.

The festival didn’t go off without a hitch.

Although bringing an immense economic impact on the East Lansing community, evidenced by packed streets that shut down many of downtown East Lansing’s roads, reportedly several thefts occurred at the event.

Economic impact For local festival attendees, there were only trivial costs associated. For East Lansing businesses, the agglomeration of people meant a big weekend for commerce.

“For us, the (East Lansing) Art Festival does a good 35 to 40 percent more than a typical weekend,” Vicki Ueberroth, owner of Grand Grillin food truck and catering, said. “And this weekend was especially big for us, what with the nice weather and all.”

For Ueberroth, the East Lansing Art Festival is one of her highest grossing events of the year, only competing with football and the Great Lakes Folk Festival. Within the community, Ueberroth’s uptick is in no way an

Refunds will be paid during the first 10 days of classes at 435 E. Grand River.

“I know that the hotels have all been full, and I know, from the city, all the parking ramps have been full all weekend. And the restaurants, you know, are full. So it has a trickle-off effect.”

Proof of payment of the fee and a photo ID must be presented. Office hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

“They took six of my paintings. This is my living and I don’t even make a living with this yet, so this is very difficult.”

Bala Thiagarajan, East Lansing Art Festival artist anomaly. Festival director Michelle Carlson said that there are plentiful economic benefits for the city that people don’t consider.

“I know that the hotels have all been full, and I know, from the city, all the parking ramps have been full all weekend,” Carlson said. “And the restaurants, you know, are full.

So it has a trickle-off effect.”

Carlson said no more than three artists lived in the region this year; therefore, the city’s hotels were chiefly benefited. Many of the festival-goers, she said, were also from out of town. Additionally, the art demo area and the children’s area were expanded, attracting new populations.

“One time, we estimated at least on the low side of $2 million,” Carlson said about the local economic impact, including that this year hosted even more artists than before.

Bringing artists to town Of course, however, the biggest source of gain was still for the artists.

Melvin McGee, from Green Bay, Wisc., is a favorite amongst the East Lansing community, with a sophisticated yet cartoonish style.

Although work as an artist can be unpredictable, McGee was foreseeably busy over the weekend.

“For me, it’s one of my favorite shows,” McGee, a veteran returnee, said. “The college kids just really get my art.”

But after the dust settled on the opening Saturday show, the deserved economic kickback did not reach three artists, as this year’s fes-

tival was marred by burglaries on Saturday night. Nearly a dozen paintings were stolen, as thieves pillaged artists’ tents. Artists dispersed across the festival map were affected.

A theft in the night Bala Thiagarajan was set for a great weekend, winning the Redhead Design Studio award for her ethnic Indian paintings. However, her elation was shattered when she stepped foot into her ransacked tent Sunday morning.

“They took six of my paintings,” Thiagarajan said. “This is my living and I don’t even make a living with this yet, so this is very difficult.”

For Thiagarajan, her weekend was ruined.

She wondered how her tent, erected just half of a block north of the city hall building on Abbott Road was the prey of such a heist.

“Basically, I left everything inside and we put the sides down, and we zip-tied the bottom so nobody can use the zipper,” Thiagarajan said, explaining her fastidious deployment of tent-protection. “So what someone had to do was crawl in the front (where there was a small opening)… But that’s the thing; they took six of my paintings. Someone crawled under and they cannot take all six of my paintings at one go underneath, right?”

Police told Thiagarajan that there was no known security camera on the block, so their investigation resources were limited. Thiagarajan lost an estimated $3,400 worth of her works.

rity company that they had relied on in years before. The festival staff contracted five security guards, also the same amount as in years past.

Police were also on the watch, maneuvering on foot, bike and cruiser to discourage and catch possible attempts at vandalism and theft.

Last year, three people were detained for trying to force their way into tents.

“They are supposed to be walking around,” Thiagarajan said, nonplussed by the security setup. “If it’s one piece stolen, you can say, ‘OK, the security was somewhere else.’ But for six pieces, with someone being inside my booth and taking the time to do it, where was the security that whole time?”

Security needs Although there had been thefts and vandalisms before, this year’s were the subject of extra inquiry.

Carlson said, in the future, they would have to formulate a better security system with the police and increase the number of security guards on site.

For artist Karri Jamison, who lost three paintings worth a combined $630 dollars, that addition should have been made beforehand.

Though guards were walking around the area at night, it wasn’t enough to prevent the thefts. “(There was) not enough security,” Jamison, whose tent was cleaved open from the back, said, troubled by her first theft in eight years of showcasing her work at festivals. “How did security not realize that someone was knifing through the back of my tent and then carrying a 30-by-40 canvas? I mean that is a big T H U RS DAY, MAY 2 6 , 2 01 6

piece not to notice.

“You know, I just guess I thought I was in a secure place where they had hired enough security.”

For the last artist, Justin Bernhardt from Kalamazoo, the festival was not ruined, but he thought that his painting that was stolen was one of his better pieces, valued at $350.

He too was an award-winner, recipient of the Raymond King Award for Painting.

All of the artists were sympathetic to the security limitations of the vast area but were nonetheless mystified by the size and amount of works stolen.

The artists affected seemed at best ambivalent about the festival itself and at worst downtrodden. While they all expressed differing desires about coming back, Jamison was torn in both directions.

“It’s been very hard because the patrons have been fantastic,” Jamison said. “Everyone that I’ve met has been very art-smart, very intelligent… But if they don’t get more security, I don’t know (if I can return).”

For an otherwise prosperous weekend, the thefts obviously dimmed the occasion. In Carlson’s opinion, though, the adverse effects did not diminish or supplant the good done by the festival.

“There’s far more good going on here than that,” Carlson said, referring to the thefts. “It’s very unfortunate for that artist, or those artists, and we’re working with them to resolve that. But there’s hundreds of artists who are doing really well and thousands of people enjoying the day and coming together as a community. And that’s what makes our community stronger.”

With the depleting number of people on campus and in East Lansing during the summer, students who choose to stay lose some resources that are regularly available during the school year.

Crime to fall in summer

BY SHIREEN KORKZAN SKORKZAN@STATENEWS.COM

Criminal activity is pretty common in East Lansing during the school year when roughly 50,000 students are in the area for classes. Most crimes that occur are minor offenses, such as drug use and underage drinking. However, more severe crimes, including sexual assault, are not uncommon during the fall and spring semesters. These types of crimes tend to dwindle in the summertime when there are significantly less students in the area.

“We’re a little less busy in the summer than when we are when there are 45,000 kids going to school. I think that’s a fair statement,” Scott Wriggelsworth, a Detective Lieutenant for East Lansing Police Department (ELPD), said. “We get a little bit different types of crime in the summer, but the weather is a factor, and people are also going on vacation.”

Between the first three to four weeks of MSU’s summer semester, the ELPD experiences a lull in crimes

reported. However, once nearby high schools go on summer break, the city experiences a small spike in criminal activity throughout the rest of the season, mostly in the downtown area. Most of the crimes caused by high school students are curfew violations and minor theft. MSU’s spring semester officially ended May 6. East Lansing Public Schools are in session until June 10.

Wriggelsworth said The City of East Lansing and ELPD try to make the city a family-friendly environment in the summer with festivals and activities, including the East Lansing Art Festival. Nevertheless, these activities do not always prevent people from committing crimes, as was witnessed this past weekend. This isn’t the first time artwork has been stolen during the East Lansing Art Festival, an event located near several bars and liquor stores and also known for its high foot traffic day and night.

“We have a large clientele visiting East Lansing in the summertime,” Wriggelsworth said. “It doesn’t make it completely crime-free.”

East Lansing’s summer traditions return, including music, movies

BY CAMERON MACKO CMACKO@STATENEWS.COM

Though the month of May might look devoid of fun things to do around East Lansing since the East Lansing Art Festival finished up last weekend, the rest of the summer is a packed calendar of events, according to the City of East Lansing.

Beginning on June 5, the East Lansing Farmer’s Market will be open for business for students and community members interested in buying local produce and other products. The market will be open every Sunday until Oct. 30 and will be located at Valley Court Park. According to the City of East Lansing, more than 1,000 people attend the market each week and only homegrown or self-produced products are allowed to be sold.

Also beginning in June is East Lansing’s popular Summer Concert Series, a free series of events located in Ann Street Plaza.

This event runs from June 24 until Aug. 6 throughout the course of six weeks on Friday nights at 7 p.m. and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. The music festival also helps drive business to downtown restaurants and bars, the website read, and the opening show will be performed by Starfarm, an 80s band based in East Lansing.

On the concert series’ off week, Ann Street Plaza will be hosting the Summer Solstice Jazz Festival on June 17 and 18.

The free festival will include local, regional and national jazz musicians and will carry on in the event of rain. A lineup was announced in early 2016 and this will be the festival’s 20th year.

Beginning July 7 at 9:30 p.m., Valley Court Park will be hosting the Moonlight Film Festival. Food will be provided and admission is free. The movies to be shown are geared toward children and most have a PG rating, although the opening movie will be School of Rock, a PG-13 film. A pre-show will occur before each movie, like a community talent show on July 7 and an East Lansing Police Department Unit Demonstration on July 14.

What might be the most notable summer event is the Common Ground Music Festival from July 5 to July 10 where AWOLNATION and Dierks Bentley will be among the performers.

One of the last events scheduled for the summer is the threeday Great Lakes Folk Festival, an event “produced by the MSU Museum’s Michigan Traditional Arts Program, (that) is a celebration of culture, tradition and community.” The lineup was just recently announced and is sponsored by the MSU Museum.

The festival will run from Aug. 12 to 14.

Common Ground Music Festival: what to look forward to in 2016

BY ANTREONA MERIDITH AMERIDITH@STATENEWS.COM

Common Ground Music Festival is back.

The lineup is all set and tickets are selling out fast.

The six-day event, lasting from July 5 through July 10, is full of great headliners each day, such as Rise Against, Tim McGraw, A$AP Rocky and Dierks Bentley. The festival will open with AWOLNATION and close with Jason Derulo.

In 2000 the festival was established by the Lansing Entertainment & Public Facilities Authority (LEPFA) along with Meridian Entertainment Group (MEG) for non-profit with proceeds going back into the mid-Michigan community.

Now the event is produced by Center Park Productions, which is proud of the event and what it brings to the Lansing community.

“The audience should expect a unique experience with different genres each night,” director Jenna Meyer said.

With a history of great performers and an intimate venue, the audience should expect nothing less. Some past performers include Blake Shelton in 2002, Miranda Lambert in 2007 and Fifth Harmony in 2013.

General admission tickets sell as low as $35 per day and $120 for a six-day pass.

With the six-day passes, the guest are given wristbands so even if they don’t want to see the country performers, they are welcome to pass it along to a friend. With a total of 65 performers throughout the week, the audience is in for a show with established and current artists.

The festival is not just limited to the concert performances and includes other activities throughout the week, such as zip lining, Hammock Hangout and the Color Run on July 9.

The festival also offers volunteer and internship opportunities that can be found on its website. There you can find frequently asked questions as well as merchandise.

Having over 39 festival partnerships, Common Ground Music Festival is well established and continues to be a major summer and music event in mid-Michigan.

“The audience should expect a unique experience with different genres each night.”

Jenna Meyer, Director of Common Ground Music Festival

Summer Kickoff

Campus summer lull not the same for the city’s established businesses

BY STEPHEN OLSCHANSKI SOLSCHANSKI@STATENEWS.COM

The City of East Lansing touts a population of approximately 48,579 according to the latest U.S. Census taken in 2010 but the number artificially inflates to just shy of 100,000 during the months of September until May. And for local mainstay East Lansing businesses and fixtures the influx of students isn’t necessarily the determining factor.

And perhaps the thought that businesses rely heavily on students for business, is more rumor than axiom.

“I’ve actually had, honest to God, people ask me if we were open during the summer,” Mike Wylie, Assistant Manager at Student Book Store said.

Wafting through the summer months doesn’t mean the cash drawers are dry or that as employees as Wylie puts it “sit around and twiddle our thumbs.” The businesses that have survived the

East Lansing summers, known for taking businesses under and keeping them from re-emerging, have at least one thing in common outside of longevity; they understand the market.

“I think sometimes people misunderstand the audience down here,” Wylie said. “What may work in some other town won’t always work here.”

But what seems to work here at least in the eyes of SBS is the grassroots outreach or marketing 101. The community drives the business and the store has taken advantage of its spot on Grand River. Often times it is outreach which drives sales, and SBS has taken to finding a niche of customers throughout year.

With various events in East Lansing, including the just past Art Festival and the upcoming Great Lakes Folk Festival, businesses have more than enough opportunity to pounce on revenue.

And even when not taking part in community outreach, the store is preparing nearly every-

day for the fall.

Though the short influx of people pales to the student population, it’s not always about changing the game plan to hustle through the summer.

“We’re adult oriented,” Braxton Newman, controller at El Azteco said. “I mean when the kids are around, they come here and drink margaritas. But when the kids leave, that’s when the adults come back and take over their town.”

For El Azteco, the Mexican joint on Albert Avenue smudged in between M.A.C. and Ann Street, it’s the summer that actually carries the business. Though the sign out front bears the unmistakable help wanted, the colorful neon lighted interior of the building, rooftop patio — the only one of its kind in East Lansing — and food draws the desire of the locals.

“We don’t have to do much other than open this,” Newman said of the rooftop patio which boasts a bar of approximately 100 different brands of tequilas and new furniture. Furthermore the atmosphere in the place is another selling point.

Newman cited the lack of TVs on the rooftop and open atmosphere as reasons for the flow of patrons in the summer.

We’ve created a “spring break atmosphere,” Newman said. “We get much busier because of this and that’s we need to do, open the roof.”

Just a short walk from the tropic feel at El Azteco, one of two downtown East Lansing churches, St. John’s, however does feel a dip in the amount of the faithful who sit in the pews on Sundays.

“It is more quiet but we do get students in here for AOP,” Denise Zakerski, Parish Secretary said; later adding that students still on and around campus for classes attend mass.

St. John’ caters to the student community with five mass times on Sundays and mass times during the week. But with students home for the summer, the church put 5 p.m. Sunday mass and evening masses on Tuesday and Thursday on hiatus until students return in full force in September.

Primarily a parish setup for the students the church offers a myriad of ways for students to grow in their faith but when the students are gone the church finds other ways to stay busy

“I mean when the kids are around, they come here and drink margaritas. But when the kids leave, that’s when the adults come back and take over their town” Braxton Newman, controller at El Azteco during the week as it will host scores of weddings throughout the year with the majority of them taking place in the summer.

The St. John’s congregation is part of the St. Thomas Aquinas parish and in conjunction with St. Thomas, it will host 5 weddings on July 23rd between the two and the MSU Alumni Chapel.

Food, fanaticism, and faith all have their niche markets in East Lansing regardless of student population and even the fact business has its ways to survive.

Collegeville Textbook Company, owned and operated by four people — three who are MSU alumni, has been servicing MSU students with their textbook needs since 2009 and like SBS, it knows how to survive the summer.

AOP for the incoming students is a big draw for Collegeville and the events surrounding/put on by MSU help Collegeville sell apparel. Mainly a dealer in textbooks the summer months give it the opportunity to showcase its skin in the apparel game.

But even doing that, Collegeville is still susceptible to the lull of the summer.

“Other than that it’s pretty quiet,” co-owner Tom Muth said. “We have shortened hours; open a little later close a little earlier.”

But as is the theme for the established East Lansing businesses, it’s about prep and knowing the market.

“We know what to expect so we plan for it throughout the year,” Muth said. “You gotta know summer.”
