new course Beverage science specialization is part of new offerings for fall 2013

hile some students are enjoying alcoholic beverages at the bar, others are learning how to make them in the classroom.

A new specialization on the science of alcoholic beverages was added this semester in line with MSU’s desire to keep up with changing job markets and student interests.

“The basic driving force was contacts with industry,” said Kris Berglund, a professor of food science and human nutrition who is in charge of all the alcohol-making classes.

Michigan has a quickly growing beverage industry and a need for trained people — a void MSU wasn’t filling, he said.

The beverage specialization includes three new classes: Food Science 481, which is an overview class of the wine, beer and spirits industries; Chemistry 482, which teaches the fundamentals of winemaking; and Chemical Engineering 483, which teaches beer, cider, brandy, vodka, gin and whiskey production.

The Beverage Sciences and Technology specialization is the newest addition to the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources and is open to anyone who meets the prerequisites for the classes, including being at least 21 years old.

A growing industry The beer, wine and spirits industries have grown rapidly in Michigan during the past decade, experts say, making it a prime area to prepare students to enter.

The push to get the bever-

age specialization at MSU came from the Michigan Brewers Guild and others that have expressed interest in trained graduates, Berglund said.

Major changes in microdistillery license laws in 1996 and 2008 have prompted a boom in the spirits industry, Berglund said. The laws for breweries and wineries are always gradually changing, but have been established for a long time, he added.

There are about 81 wineries, 65 breweries and 14 distilleries in Michigan, according to Drink Michigan.

“That’s why they’re so much further ahead,” he said.

Opening doors Some universities have majors in beverage sciences, but Berglund said MSU won't do that because it would limit students’ job prospects.

“We don’t want people to be stuck,” he said.

A specialization that can be added to any major allows students to open doors to more opportunities. The majority of students in the beverage classes are food science, chemical engineering and chemistry majors, Berglund said.

He added that there are at least double digit numbers of students in the specialization, but not all the students in the classes are participating in it. There are people in the classes that want to make beverages as a career, and others that just want to understand it.

“It sounded like it would be a good time,” said Tim VanSumeren, a chemical engineering senior See CLASSES on page 2 u

bill looks to curb plate readers Law enforcement could be faced with restrictions when using license plate readers to store information on drivers including location data and photos.

A new bill proposed by Rep. Sam Singh, D-East Lansing could set stricter guidelines on how law enforcement stores information on drivers.

The bill, which will be submitted sometime next week, aims to regulate license plate readers, or LPRs, used by police. Readers are used to scan a vehicle to check the driver and vehicle for criminal involvement. There currently are no regulations in place to limit how long police departments could store the information obtained on drivers. Information includes the time, date and location at which each plate was read.

The bill would ban LPRs

from taking pictures of drivers and more clearly define the situations in which LPRs can be used.

In Singh's bill, all data that has no compelling need to be kept would be deleted after 48 hours.

The issue has raised the displeasure of those in favor of civil liberties, criminal justice professor David Carter said in an email.

"Many law enforcement leaders argue they would like to keep this information for six months to a year because it can be a valuable investigative tool," he said in the email, adding that it is an issue of what police might do with such data.

Although he has not had direct conversations with law enforcement officials, Singh is confident the bill will not hinder the effectiveness of the police. According to Singh, both East Lansing and Lansing police departments have at least three LPRs. MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothianTaylor said that MSU police do

Professor under fire for in-class rant University officials are continuing to investigate English professor William Penn for an anti-Republican rant he made during one of his classes last Thursday.

"MSU is aware of the situation involving a video of professor William Penn, and the Office of the Provost is reviewing it," university spokesman Kent Cassella said in a statement.

"At MSU, it is important the classroom environment is conducive to a free exchange of ideas and is respectful of the opinions of others."

New digester used to power portions of south campus

By Celeste Bott cbott@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

MSU’s new anaerobic digester converts recycled campus waste into enough renewable energy to supply power to several south campus buildings, a process that started this August.

A digester is a sealed chamber that heats waste until natural microorganisms convert it into biogas, project engineer Dana Kirk said.

It’s an anaerobic process, me a n i n g t he c onve r s ion doesn’t require oxygen.

“Methane generated from the digester will burn in a diesel engine, which powers a generator,” Kirk explained.

“That energy then goes out through a Consumers Energy

power line."

It takes about 25 days for the waste to be converted into methane and digestate, Kirk said.

Digestate, or the remaining water or solids that don’t become gas, will be used as a fertilizer.

The digester will produce enough methane to generate electricity by Oct. 1, a goal set

by MSU officials, Kirk said.

“This is one of the largest digesters on a college campus in the country,” Kirk said. “It’ll generate 450 kilowatts every hour, which is enough electricity to power roughly 300 houses. To give a campus perspective, the digester could completely power Holmes Hall."

Police briefs Female reportedly assaulted by male A 19-year-old female MSU student was reportedly assaulted between 8 and 8:15 p.m. on Aug. 30 in Snyder Hall, according to the MSU Police Department.

The victim told police that her boyfriend, also a 19-yearold student, became agitated when she decided not to attend that night’s football game with him, MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothianTaylor said.

The suspect and the victim began to argue in the lobby of Snyder Hall. When the suspect grabbed the victim and began shaking her, a 23-year-old male Snyder Hall employee stepped between the two and warned he was calling the police.

The suspect was contacted

by MSU Police, but no arrests were made. The victim was uninjured and refused medical treatment.

Digester pulls materials from variety of sources across MSU, can power buildings from page one

t r icit y w ill power several buildings south of Mount Hope Road, Kirk said, including laboratories, farm managers’ houses and the Anaerobic Digestion Research and Education Center.

Waste for the digester comes from several sources, and new material is continuously added to the digester.

The MSU Dairy Teaching and Research Center supplies manure from cows daily, Culinary Services provides food waste from the dining halls every three days and local restaurants supply wasted oil and grease.

Director of Campus Sustainability Jennifer Bat-

tle said the digester is a positive project that can engage the campus community.

“The digester (is) a great example of sustainabilit y because it addresses multiple economic and environmental issues,” Battle said. “It takes a lot of food waste in the area and prevents it from entering landfills. At the same time, it creates research opportunities for students and faculty with renewable energy technology.”

The Meijer Distribution Center in Lansing is another source of food waste for the digester.

Brenda Pineau, the center’s director of environmental compliance and sustainability, said it’s proven to be a local solution for dealing with food waste.

“We cut a lot of fresh fruit in our manufacturing facility,” Pineau said. “For example, when you see cored pineapples

at Meijer, those cores are going right into the digester.”

Pineau said she hopes the partnership with MSU will be long-term.

“It’s been a great opportunity,” Pineau said. “It saves money, it’s an alternative to landfills, it creates energy and it keeps us from depleting our natural resources.”

The digester also continues MSU’s ongoing goal of increasing sustainbility measures across most of campus, officials said.

MSU has been working with digesters and other forms of renewable energy for years, but Kirk said this project was particularly special.

“It’s big energy,” he said.

“And it’s a unique partnership between MSU and the local community, with Michigan industry.”

Student: Most residents evacuated building within minutes of fire’s start from page one

Cambria Sobolewski said the building is insured, but the cost to repair the damages has not been assessed.

T heatre sophomore Andrew VanOtteren , who lives in the building, said he came home around 1 a.m. Wednesday morning.

He said he was sitting on the front porch with other residents until about 3 a.m., when one of his roommates ran outside, screaming that her bedroom had gone up in flames.

"We went to see which room it was and we saw a

glow, so we sprayed the hell out of it and got out of there quick," VanOtteren said. "(My roommate) was in bed sleeping, and she woke up because she heard the crackling of the flames. It was a close call."

VanOtteren said most residents evacuated the building within minutes. Political science senior Anthony Briones, who lives across the street from Phoenix, said he visited the cooperative around 2:30 a.m. and added that he saw no signs of trouble around the house.

"I came back from the bar and came to the house and hung out for a bit," Briones said. "When I came (outside) this morning, I saw a dumpster in front of the house."

He said charred possessions were being tossed into the trash.

The incident remains under investigation.

Assault occurs on first Friday game An assault between two MSU students occurred between 8:30 and 10:10 p.m. on Aug. 31 in South Case Hall, according to MSU police.

The victim, an 18-year-old female, said she had been in a disagreement with the suspect, a 19-year-old male, prior to the assault. She told police she asked the suspect for an apology after he offended her when he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.

When police arrived, the suspect denied pushing the victim. The victim told police she does not plan to press charges.

Hands-on learning All of the beverage classes are taught completely off-site — it’s a field trip everyday.

On Tuesday, the winemaking class was at the Horticulture Teaching and Research Center to pick grapes. The 29 students in the class will test the grapes for sugar and acidity during the next class to see if it will be a good year for wine, Berglund said.

At the end of the semester, students will make their own wine and be allowed to take it home, he added.

“I like that it’s a lot of hands-on (work). Coming out to the vineyards is fun,” said Hannah Schramm, a food science senior who plans on finishing the specialization.

She added that on the first day, the beverage class was at a family vineyard and winery.

MSU’s changing offerings Two other programs also have made their debut at MSU this fall, and they are part of the constant changes the university makes to keep up with the times.

In addition to the new beverage specialization, Experience Architecture is a new major, and Arts and Cultural Management is a new minor.

There also are 11 new graduate programs. Between spring and fall 2013, three undergraduate programs were discontinued, along with many more graduate programs.

Since the beginning of the university, thousands of programs have been created and just as many were deleted, she added. The changes have to do with student interest and changes in industries and professional standards.

“We shift resources to things that are more valuable,” Acting Provost June Youatt said. “We’re doing something right by changing it all the time.”

Students celebrate Rosh Hashanah Wanderer’s Teahouse replaced by mac’n’cheese restaurant

By April Jones ajones@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS

By Ariel Ellis

nn

Every year on Jan. 1, everyone everywhere is trying to find ways to better themselves.

Whether it's getting back into the gym, being better with finances or doing better in school or work, people search for ways to make the new year much better than the last. But for the Jewish community, it's already a new year.

Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Jewish New Year, started Wednesday evening and was brought in with worship service that will continue for the next 10 days, known as Yom Kippur.

In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanah means the head, or beginning, of the new year.

In rabbinic tradition, the day is associated with God’s creation of the world, and with the creation of human beings.

Religious studies professor Benjamin Pollock said Rosh Hashanah also is the day of judgement, where God is said to weigh each person's merits and sins.

"This is a period of serious introspection during which time Jews traditionally commit themselves to self-improvement, to changing the course of their lives for the better through prayer, good deeds and charity, so as to warrant God’s blessings for life in the new year," Pollock said.

The symbol and most important ritual object of Rosh Hashanah is the Shofar, or a ram’s horn. During the holiday, the Shofar is blown 100 times as a call to repentance, Pollock said.

Rosh Hashanah starts the first 10 days of repentance known as the high holy days.

Starting Wednesday night, services are being held at synagogs all over the world and will continue until Friday evening.

comed to attend service any of the days.

"There are variety of different services that take place throughout those days," Bigman said.

Rosh Hashanah’s most important symbol and ritual is the Shofar, or ram’s horn. During the two day holiday, the Shofar is blown 100 times as a call of repentance "Some are services for adults and older children, some services that we have for the youngest members of our congregation specially in design to their ability to understand and celebrate the new year."

Along with the service, dinner is held afterwards serving traditional sides of apples and honey.

Wa nderer 's Tea hou se and Cafe is not returning, but a new restaurant offering 14 varieties of macaroni and cheese hopes to steal the hearts and stomachs of East Lansing residents in its stead.

Taking the former home of Wanderer's Teahouse at 547 E. Grand River Ave. is Sweet Lorraine's Fabulous Mac N' Cheez, which will offer soup, sandwiches and varieties of macaroni and cheese, as well as options to add your own toppings.

The business plans to open its doors Dec. 1.

The building is owned by Perry Investment Group, L LC. Loren Per r y, who owns the building with his siblings, said after owner Michael Spano decided to close the business, they thought Sweet Lorraine's would be a great fit.

"These people have been in the restaurant business for about 28 years in the Detroit area," Perry said.

"We think it's going to be a really nice addition to the area."

T he r e s t au r a nt f i r s t opened in 1984 in t he Detroit area as a full-service restaurant called Sweet Lorraine's Cafe and Bar. In 2010, the restaurant opened its first Mac N' Cheez location with a fast and casual concept with counter service in Auburn

Hills' Great Lakes Crossing Outlets and Somerset Collection mall in Troy, Mich.

Sweet Lorraine's owner Gary Sussman said he and his wife, Lorraine Platman, have been trying to find a location in East Lansing for a year, and finally were able to do so two months ago.

"We'll be bringing delivery to the students, as well as a place for lunch (and) dinner and we plan on staying open later for after-bar clientele," Sussman said.

Food industry management senior Henry Ward said he was pleased a restaurant from his hometown is coming to town.

"I think it would bring some diversity to the restaurants in East Lansing and give students something new to try besides the usual restaurants we're used to," Ward said.

For two and a half years, Wanderer’s Teahouse was a unifying destination for tea dr in kers in East Lansing.

Although many hoped the business would reopen, Spano said the restaurant has closed its doors for good.

“When I decided to move to Texas, the landlord and I discussed one of my former employees taking over the Teahouse,” Spano said. “She had come forth and was going to keep Wanderer’s alive and well. However, the landlord decided to go with someone else.

“I wish them well, and what I would like to say as a final goodbye to the East Lansing community: drink tea and support local business,” he said.

E.L. Farmer’s Market gets $35K in grant funding

By Meg Dedyne mdedyne@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

The East Lansing's Farmer's Market is set to undergo a major face-lift this year, thanks to an award through a state-funded grant program.

The market, which marked its five-year anniversary this summer, recently obtained a $35,000 grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, or MEDC, to improve what city officials call an already thriving attraction. Among other things, MEDC is known for the Pure Michigan campaign.

The Farmers Market Grant Program will fund a new performance plaza, permanent signage and a resurfacing of the multi-use parking lot at the market location in Valley Court Park. There also will be smaller details added, such as landscaping and more bike racks.

The new work is scheduled to be completed at the end of May 2014. The Downtown Development Authority and the city also will provide matching funds to support the project.

A boost in funding could not have come at a better time, considering the market's recent anniversary, said Ami Van Antwerp, East Lansing Farmer’s Market

team member and city communications coordinator. Because of the increased demand and requests of customers, this year also was the first that the market opened in June instead of July.

“Funding is limited, and we wouldn’t have been able to make these changes without this grant,” Van Antwerp said. “It is a great investment, and we knew it was something that made sense because the market is growing rapidly.”

Some of the products sold at the market include local fruits, vegetables, meats and sauces, as well as a variety of other items.

Vendors said the farmers market has proven to be a huge success.

“The upgrade will be a great asset to the market and hopefully will bring in even more customers and vendors to participate,” said Christine Miller, owner of vendor Spartan Country Meats. “I love seeing students, along with the other people throughout the state, that visit the market.”

Faithful customers also have helped Stone Circle Bakehouse flourish at the farmer’s market, owner Kevin Cosgrove said.

“There is a lot of diverse clientele at the East Lansing (Farmer's) Market, which was very helpful to get my product out there when I was first starting my business,” Cosgrove said.

Check out The State News online:

www.statenews.com

“The market is soon going to become a destination and a permanent fixture for the city of East Lansing.”

The city estimates 1,000 visitors are drawn to Valley Court Park every week, looking for something homegrown to bring back to their families. Environmental biology senior Echo Prafke-Marson said she goes to the market frequently and appreciates having fresh and local products available in the city.

“The produce is always really good at the market, and they always have things that you wouldn’t be able to get anywhere else. I love that the tomatoes actually taste like something,” Prafke-Marson said. “It would be great if they could have it all year.”

The East Lansing Farmer’s Market takes place each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. from June through Oct. 27 in Valley Court Park. Musical performances take place at the market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A f ter long sc hool days, we want comforts and not work. We want to see our friends, what’s on TV or what the latest news on Facebook is, not the task of deciphering the merits of 19th century Russian existentialism or whether the freshman who wrote the blogpost you have to reply to for an IAH class fell asleep on the keyboard, rolled over and drooled just hard enough on the enter key.

And if you listen closely you can hear the wind blowing harder.

Our actions are usually based in reason I can do the assignment tomorrow morning before class. If I stay quiet, the professor won’t know I haven’t read the material. I have all weekend to finish that project. The test isn’t for another week.

As students, our sole mission isn’t learning, it’s applying ourselves to learning and applying what we’ve learned. And we should always learn from our mistakes.

When we procrastinate, we concede to our comforts. We sway on that tightrope, momentarily eased, momentarily panicked, momentarily eased, momentarily panicked.

Unless gutted from our lives, it’s a routine without end, and the only way we’ll conquer it is by reaching somewhere between the plates, cups and bowls and beneath that layer of cloudy, stagnant water.

“Learning the ropes of life at MSU”

EDITORIAL CARTOONIST

I was a transfer from CMU and hated, HATED my first few weeks at MSU. Campus was too big, too much traffic, classes so far away - waaaaaaaaaaaaah! Of course, I adjusted, learned to schedule my classes closer together and eventually calmed down enough to take in the beauty that is MSU. My three bits of advice? take a deep breath, visit the Dairy Store, and pick up some popcorn at the International Center and go feed the ducks. Go Green!

Not the girl next door

here is no doubt at this age most of us are trying new things. We are all trying to figure out exactly who we are and who we will be in this society. Our time in college, as most say, is our golden years.

It’s a time for 18-22 year olds to experiment with new trends, fashion statements, music and activities. We have to find out what we like, dislike, what friends will stay and what friends we will have to let go. For some, it’s our time to experiment with the things our parents and role models have told us to stay away from.

It seems like every few decades new drugs are brought into our culture. Whether it’s cocaine, marijuana or ecstasy, young adults often are experimenting these illegal drugs with their friends.

Recently there’s been a new girl on the scene and her name is Molly. Molly popped up into our society a few years back, and she’s quickly gained her popularity among our generation. Molly is supposed to be fun, make you sweat and boy does she like to party.

For those of you who aren’t exactly following what I’m saying, Molly is a newer form of the drug ecstasy.

game-filled weekend exhausts spartans Cope, Keener using

chemistry in the backfield

nn

Following a grueling weekend that featured three games in four days — and two losses — the MSU field hockey team will welcome their home turf this weekend as they host Syracuse, Monmouth and Kent State at the Auto-Owners Insurance MSU Invitational. “(Playing at) home is going to be great,” junior forward Abby Barker said. “Being on our home turf and our fans coming out to support us is going to be a lot of fun.”

The Spartans (1-2 overall) returned from a west coast trip that saw losses to California on Friday and Stanford on Monday evening. The team got their lone win against Pacific on Sunday, 7-0.

Head coach Helen Knull said team conditioning, or lack thereof, was a major factor in the weekend losses.

“Three games in four days is a lot of hockey, a lot of games, and our fitness showed throughout the weekend,” Knull said. “We have a lot of players who played a lot of minutes.”

The players also acknowledged a lack of fitness during the weekend.

“It was definitely a challenge, but I think it’s good to know where you are at the beginning of the season,” senior midfielder Kristen Henn added. “Coming out of preseason, you should be in really good shape and it definitely showed that it’s something that we need to work on.”

In their first game, MSU led the game 1-0 until the final four minutes, when California scored a clutch goal of its own.

zsmith@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

As the saying goes, “A good offense starts with a good defense,” and nowhere is that more true than with the MSU men’s soccer team.

In their 4-0 obliteration of Western Michigan, the Spartans (1-0-0) faced just five shots from the Broncos, with none of them being on goal.

“We’re definitely a team that’s going to build,” head coach Damon Rensing said.

“The combination of (senior defender Kevin) Cope and ( junior defender) Ryan Keener together allows us to keep those guys at home and get numbers forward.

Their experience and athleticism really helps us be able to play the ball out of the back.”

Having a well-experienced pair in the center of the defense is key to a successful team.

As an example, the center of the U.S. Men’s National Team back line is held down

by Omar Gonzalez and Matt Besler at center back. Both are former Major League Soccer Defender of the Year winners and have anchored the back line for much of the squad’s current 12-game winning streak, the longest in the world.

Now, after more than three years of continuity, Cope and Keener are growing into that same kind of dynamic duo.

Danyelle Morrow/The State News

Senior goalkeeper Molly Cassidy reaches out to stop the ball against Michigan on Aug. 24, 2013, at Ralph Young Field. MSU won the exhibition, 2-1.

The Spartans proceeded to lose, 2-1, in a penalty shootout.

As MSU faces an opportunity to pull above .500 this weekend, Barker hopes that the team will use the last two losses as a learning experience.

“It was definitely a tough test physically and mentally,” Bark-

er said. “We came out with one win, which is always good. It was pretty tough, especially the two games on two games right on the end.”

MSU will face Syracuse at 6:15 p.m. Friday, followed by an 11 a.m. game against Monmouth on Sunday.

“We’re good friends off the field, and that makes it all the better just knowing the guy next to you.”

Ryan Keener, junior defender

“We’re lucky that we have a lot of trust in our back line and a lot of guys have played together for a long time,” Keener said. “Us having a solid game allows us to be attacking more, it allows us to do what we want to do (offensively).”

The pair have been playing together at MSU for three years, and Keener said they were teammates at the youth level with the Michigan Wolves when they were teenagers.

“We’re good friends off the field, and that makes it all the better just knowing the guy next you,” he said.

Cope said this year’s squad wants to be a possession team, which starts by having a solid defense and being able to play forward.

After spending the summer playing for the Michigan Bucks, he said not knowing the tendencies of his fellow defenders made the game more difficult.

“Playing throughout the summer, playing with different guys other than Ryan, you don’t appreciate it until you get put into situations like that,” Cope said. “Being back with Ryan after so many years, the relationship we have on and off the field, it really shows.”

Last season, then-freshman goalkeeper Zach Bennett replaced then-junior goalkeeper Bryce Dobbins as the starter.

While Bennett isn’t part of

the defensive line, the transition was made easier knowing the players in front of him were a solid group.

“It wasn’t a bad transition at all,” Bennett said. “Bryce was a great helper in all that. Once I got on the field, Keener and Cope and the whole back line as a whole kind of gelled really well.”

Bennett finished the 2012 season with a 9-4 record in 13 starts, including a .99 goals against average and three shutouts en route to a Big Ten Championship.

The next game for the Spartans will be against Oregon State (2-0-0) at 5 p.m. Friday at DeMartin Stadium. The defense will need to be on their toes, as the Beavers were ranked top 50 in the nation in scoring offense and total goals a year ago.

Oregon State scored eleven goals in all matches so far this season, six of those coming in an exhibition match, and haven’t conceded any. While Cope said he likes not knowing much about his opponent, he, Keener and Bennett need to have their heads in the game if they hope to stop the attacking-minded Beavers.

“We’re just going to go out there and play and worry about ourselves,” Cope said. “At the end of the day, if we have more goals than them, that’s the ultimate goal.”

Football team brushes off speculation of offense

By Stephen Brooks sbrooks@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

Max Bullough made a well-publicized speech to his team before hitting the field to play Minnesota last year, in which he challenged MSU’s offense.

It was the season finale and the Spartans needed to beat the Golden Gophers on the road to make their sixth consecutive bowl game. In the locker room, the senior linebacker and secondyear captain implored his peers on

going to let everyone deal with what they’re dealing with on their own.”

Many players, such as Bullough, have not hit the panic button just yet and instead chalked up the offensive woes to typical first game nerves and used phrases such as “easily correctable” mistakes after practice Tuesday.

Sophomore defensive end Shilique Calhoun confirmed head coach Mark Dantonio’s statement that the offense hasn’t performed as bad in practices as it did in the first game.

the other side of the ball to step up their production in a year filled with dismal performances.

After an opening win against Western Michigan last Friday that brought back some unpleasant memories of 2012, it’s too early for any fire-and-brimstone messages from Bullough, he said.

“The biggest improvement I always think goes from week one to week two in football,” Bullough said. “So I’m just going to worry about how I played on Friday and how the defense is going to play this Saturday. For now, we’re

RCAH exhibition captures Malian culture THE STATE NEWS nn

Arts and Humanities junior Moussa Traore was surprised to find pieces from his home country of Mali after coming to the U.S. last week to attend MSU. Mali On Our Minds is an art exhibition in the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities, or RCAH.’s, LookOut! Gallery of Snyder and Phillips halls.

The gallery focuses on and celebrates Malian culture through textiles, wood carvings and photography.

“When I am looking at this, it’s like I am in Mali,” Traore said. “There is nothing missing.

The college did a great job.”

Within a week of being at MSU, Traore also said he never thought people would be so welcoming to his culture.

“I never thought there was a spot for Mali here in Michigan,” Traore said. “It makes me very happy.”

College officials wanted to host the gallery after a talk it held called “Why Mali Matters.” In the talk, the former U.S. ambassador to Mali, Vicki Huddleston, discussed the political upheaval in Mali and how it interrupted interactions between MSU and Mali.

“This gallery is a better way to celebrate Malian community and culture,” RCAH Dean Ste-

phen Esquith said. “Putting in an art exhibit also helps keep awareness up.”

Items in the gallery include a mix of traditional and contemporary fabrics and clothing created by alumna Chelsea Gallagher, traditional wood carvings from Mali, a handmade horse dressing and photography from Alexandra Huddleston, who is Vicki Huddleston's daughter.

Alexandra Huddleston said she started as an artist in residence for the RCAH in 2008 and was drawn to MSU because of its involvement in South Africa.

Alexandra Huddleston said that even though it is important to be knowledgeable about the politics in Mali, she enjoys

knowing what the people are like and how they live.

“Personally, I want to understand the people as people, such as what is important to them and why they live they way they do,” Huddleston said. “The more you learn, the more you understand a situation culturally, economically and religiously.”

To see some of these Malian items and others, visit the gallery from noon to 2 p.m. to Sept. 20 Monday to Friday or the RCAH will open the gallery during off hours if they are available.

On-campus parking The best parking method for guests of a student living in a residence hall is to purchase a $6 residence hall visitor permit, Lynnette Forman, office supervisor of MSU’s parking operations, said. These permits are valid from noon Friday to noon Monday or for a 24-hour period on weekdays in Lot 75 near the Breslin Center; Lot 83 near Holden Hall; Lot 89, the commuter lot; or Lot 91 off Service and Hagadorn roads.

Forman added that if visitors are staying for less time, twohour visitor permits can be purchased for $1.50 and four-hour permits for $3.

The parking lots in front of residence halls are reserved from 7 a.m. to midnight and some spots permanently are reserved.

For students living on the north end of campus, guests can park after 6 p.m. in the employee spaces of Ramp 5

by Communication Arts and Sciences.

On football game days, Forman said visitors should park in a lot Friday night at the latest and refrain from leaving the lots if they don't want to pay the football event parking fee or lose their spot.

Downtown East Lansing parking Dan O'Connor, the parking administrator for the city of East Lansing, said there is a multitude of parking options downtown.

Various garages cost $0.65 per half hour and attended surface lots charge $0.70 per half hour.

O'Connor added that the parking meters on the streets are free from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.

A Parking and Code Enforcement, or PACE, official said that if a resident has a guest, they can call the parking desk of the East Lansing Police Department and get parking on a residential street approved from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.

This does not apply to "no parking zones" and the granting of permission is very limited.

Those with questions can call the MSU Parking Office at 517-3558440 or PACE at 517-337-1277.
