Minor-in-possession incident rate declining both on and off campus CWOOD@STATENEWS

The number of minor-in-possession, or MIP, arrests is trending downward both on campus and in East Lansing.

MSU police Capt. Doug Monette said.

Monette said there have been 225 MIP arrests on MSU’s campus this year, as of Oct. 6.

In 2015, there were a total of 431 MIP arrests and there were 535 in 2014.

“We take alcohol education and enforcement very seriously,” Monette said.

Akers Hall led all residence halls in MIP arrests in 2015 with 30, according to a previous article from The State News.

East Lansing Police Department Lt. Scott Wriggelsworth said his department also stresses the issue of underage drinking.

“It is part of our normal everyday duties, especially on nights,” he said. “Supervisors at ELPD (have) an evaluation system to ensure that officers are enforcing the laws properly. Included in those laws are MIPs.” Wriggelsworth said so far in 2016,

the ELPD has issued 181 total MIP citations.

These citations include not just arrests, but also instances when a ticket was issued.

In 2015, ELPD reported 306 citations and 387 in 2014.

“I think they (underage drinkers) should be smarter about stumbling down Grand River drunk,” music education sophomore Jack Tallman said.

Some students take issue with current police alcohol law enforcement issues.

Tallman said he thinks police would be able to enforce alcohol violations more efficiently by breaking up the disruptive parties on campus.

Reminder: voter registration deadline Oct. 11

BY RILEY MURDOCK RMURDOCK@STATENEWS.COM

With the Oct. 11 voter registration deadline fast approaching, time is running out for unregistered students to be able to vote in the upcoming general election.

The Michigan Democratic Coordinated Campaign is hosting ‘Get Out the Vote’ registration events at MSU Union from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm on Oct. 10 and 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Oct. 11.

The campaign is also registering voters in and around their office, as well as at the Lansing CATA station both days.

As presidential nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have set records for being unfavorable among voters, some students might be discouraged to vote because of their distaste toward their options.

Political science-prelaw freshman Myles Simpson said he believes not voting is equivalent to not having a voice, so those who don’t like the presidential options should vote anyway.

“I see people on Instagram all the time, talking about Trump

HOW TO VOTE In The 2016 General Election

or Hillary and how they have no choice and whatnot, but if you hate it so much then ... make a difference about it and vote, that’s the only thing that’s going to help,” Simpson said.

Premedical freshman Chelsi Perkins said people who don’t vote should not complain about the results of the election, because they had a chance to influence it and did not.

Supply chain management freshman Victoria Davis said someone is going to win the election no matter what, so students should vote for who they prefer, even if they don’t like the candidates.

“A lot of people in other countries don’t have the ability to voice their opinion — I don’t get why you wouldn’t exercise that right,” Davis said. “People say, ‘oh, I’m not voting because ... I don’t like either of the candidates,’ but somebody’s going to win regardless, so you might as well figure out who is going to help you personally.”

Business freshman Jameson McDonald said people who don’t vote will regret not having more influence on the election.

“You should just always participate, because it affects you more than you think it does,” McDonald said.

MSU College Republicans President Jeff Litten said a consequence of not voting would be a small electorate, making it harder to gauge the interests of the American people at large.

“If we have a low-turnout election, it’s hard to be able to criticize who is elected,” Litten said. “We never know who America actually supports, because if only 40 percent of the electorate or 50 percent of the electorate votes, then (we) never know who America (wants) ... the election could go completely different if there was a higher turnout.”

But November isn’t just about the presidency.

Litten also stressed the importance of down-ballot elections, reminding students that voting can influence both local governments and Congress as well as the presidential election.

“People are maybe not excited to vote for the presidential election, but there’s down-ballot races, so many important races around here, just here in Michigan,” Litten said. “You can have a president you may not like, but not voting for that reason affects us in more ways than you think. It’ll affect congressional elections, state elections and local elections.”

Indigenous people fight for a voice in the shadow of Columbus Day

BY RACHEL FRADETTE RFRADETTE@STATENEWS.COM

The controversy surrounding Columbus Day has fueled discussion at MSU for a good part of its history, with groups protesting the day’s observance and questioning the historical figure’s worth to the United States.

Each year, protests by Native American groups fuel new legislation to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and, on Sept. 27, a change was made.

Changing calendars A sign that reads, “Closed for observation of Indigenous Peoples’ Day” hangs on District Court 54B’s door for the first time in the city of East Lansing’s history.

“We are completely normal people, and we just want to recognize what happened in the past — you can’t change it, but you can maybe help alleviate that pain by recognizing (it).”

Cassandra Shavrnoch, NAISO co-chair For second-year law student Emmy Scott, the day sets the record straight on what Christopher Columbus represents to native people and the United States.

Scott compared today to her grandfather’s service in World War II. Scott described the U.S. as a united front against a tyrant who was committing genocide, and that the modern day celebration of Columbus contradicts the United States’ role in combating the mistreatment of other humans, she said.

“Columbus signifies the genocide of native peoples,” Scott said.

Scott testified in favor of the resolution on Sept.

27.

“It is a celebration of life, but also renewed energy,” Scott said. “Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a way to say, ‘we’re still here, we’re still thriving.’”

A picture has been painted of indigenous peoples, and Scott said it’s outdated and inaccurate.

“There’s a lot of misconceptions about Native Americans,” Cassandra Shavrnoch, NAISO co-chair and world politics senior, said.

People, specifically those in the MSU community, have little to no knowledge of indigenous people, she said.

Scott said East Lansing’s cooperation has been well done throughout the whole process.

“We’re not going anywhere,” Scott said.

A city’s change A little more than a year ago, East Lansing’s Human Relations Commission started to debate the idea of Indigenous Peoples’ Day — an idea brought up by native people years before.

On Sept. 27, a resolution was put before East Lansing City Council to recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples’ Day. The resolution passed unanimously.

As for the drafting of the resolution, Julia Christensen, international relations senior and commissioner, said the process took time and careful construction.

“One of the commissioners brought up the fact that several other cities in the country and the state have passed resolutions formally either recognizing Indigenous Peoples’ Day along with Columbus Day on the second Monday in October, or very few have completely replaced (Columbus Day),” Christensen said.

Christensen testified on behalf of the resolution at the Sept. 27 council meeting. She said the impact Columbus had on indigenous populations was negative and the commission discussed his influence.

“We had a conversation of whether or not this was something we wanted to pursue,” Christensen said. “The general feeling on the commission was that Columbus perhaps isn’t exactly someone who we should be celebrating as much as we do.”

Lansing City Council will look at a move to observe Indigenous Peoples’ Day at their meeting on Oct. 10.

“Right now, it’s about having a platform for these people to discuss these issues because it’s getting a lot of attention,” Christensen said. “It’s gotten a lot of local attention.”

With drafting in mind, the commission used other cities’ resolutions for the change as a template for East Lansing, in addition to reaching out to local indigenous leaders, she said.

“We took it (the resolution) to some of the local indigenous leaders,” Christensen said. “We wanted to run it by the people who would know if the language we were using was appropriate.”

She said while drafting the resolution, the commission wanted to make sure that native groups and people were represented correctly, so they reached out to native students and leaders about the resolution.

“We wanted to make sure we had the commu-

nity’s approval so we weren’t talking over anyone,” she said.

A new celebration For native students and groups on campus, their first Indigenous Peoples’ Day will pay tribute to their ancestors and start a conversation.

The North American Indigenous Student Organization, or NAISO, will hold a celebration on Oct. 10 for the first time in the group’s history in lieu of their yearly protest denouncing Columbus and his treatment of native peoples.

“We’ve had our protest for at least the past eight years,” Shavrnoch said.

NAISO’s first Indigenous Peoples’ Day will break the streak of the yearly protests, Shavrnoch said.

“We just thought this year instead of protesting, how we’ve done it in the past, now it’s more of a time for a celebration,” she added.

American Indian and Alaskan Native students only make up 0.3 percent of MSU’s full population,

a number that under-represents natives immensely and creates misconceptions, Shavrnoch said.

“We want to show the community what Indigenous Peoples’ Day means to the modern Native American,” Shavrnoch said.

She added Columbus and the native communities sharing the same day doesn’t make sense.

Columbus’ role in the U.S. has been blown out of proportion, but many believe that as a historical figure, he should remain in history curriculum, Christensen said.

“While we recognize that change in the name of a holiday doesn’t fix anything, visibility is very important,” Christensen said.

Out of everything else, Shavrnoch said what indigenous people want most with the change is recognition and remembrance.

“We are completely normal people, and we just want to recognize what happened in the past — you can’t change it, but you can maybe help alleviate that pain by recognizing (it),” Shavrnoch said.

DID YOU

KNOW? Columbus made four voyages in his lifetime.

The voyages took him along the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean and South America.

Although Columbus sailed in ships sponsored by the Kingdom of Castile in modern-day Spain, he was actually an Italian, born in 1451 in the Italian city of Genoa.

It’s a common misconception that people thought the Earth was flat during the time of Columbus.

In fact, many experts at the time said he vastly underestimated the size of the globe, which turned out to be true.

Columbus never set foot in North America.

Despite the popular idea of Columbus discovering America, the explorer never landed there although he was just 90 miles away in Cuba.

Spartans struggle with playcalling continues, results in loss to BYU

BY STEPHEN OLSCHANSKI SOLSCHANSKI@STATENEWS.COM

In its last two home games, MSU football has mustered 20 points. A meager six against Wisconsin and 14 points against 109th ranked pass defense in the country BYU. After a season which set school records for offensive production, MSU’s offense has now had to fight for every yard and looks to be devoid of the big plays and efficiency it once exuded.

It begged the question from a reporter, is it time for a change?

“No, I am not going to do that,” Dantonio said after being asked if he would be taking over the play calling duties. “Absolutely not.

That will not happen.”

Players have become discouraged with the stagnant offense showing frustration both physically and verbally.

“It’s real frustrating, it’s not close to Spartan football of the past couple years,” junior running back Gerald Holmes said.

MSU’s offense produced 206 yards of total offense. Outside of two lone drives, it was insignificant, stalling on third down and never being able to consistently string together drives or plays.

On their first drive of the game, MSU was vintage — mixing the run and pass during a 15 play, 7:05, 72 yard touchdown drive. Tyler O’Connor completed 6-of-8 passes on drive,

making correct reads and finding guys in space.

He would only attempt one more pass the rest of the half.

O’Connor has been the primary target of Spartan fan ire. He’s been blamed for nearly every offensive inadequacy even if it has nothing to do with his position. But outside of O’Connor, many have directed the vitriol at offensive coordinator Dave Warner.

With the offense stalling and the pass being avoided after flowing in the opening drive, the question remained for Warner, why did the offense move away from the air attack?

“On the second drive we were three and out, after that we had two situations inside the 5-yard line, so my play calling was reflective of those situations,” offensive coordina-

“I think you look at everything involved. It’s not one person’s fault; it’s a cumulative effect. Play calling, structure, execution, it’s all of it.”

tor Dave Warner explained about the offensive production after the first drive.

Warner also reiterated that O’Connor wasn’t the root of the offensive miscues. O’Connor finished the night 7-of-11 for 58 yards, with dropped passes by receivers being the culprit for the incompletions.

MSU was pinned deep twice as well, starting back-to-back drives in the second quarter at the five- and three-yard lines respectively.

Those two drives encompassed 36 yards on 8 plays combined, both ending in punts.

Furthermore, the drives acquired each yard on the ground with the longest gain being a 16-yard dash by Holmes. Holmes wouldn’t gain more than four yards on ensuing carries, being stuffed on a third and three and forcing a punt.

The subsequent drive saw running back LJ Scott gain four and five yards on first and second down before being jammed on a third and one try.

MSU has had trouble sustaining drives, failing to string together drives and even pick up third and short opportunities, raising questions of play calling and blocking.

But even when MSU decided to pass, O’Connor found a collapsing pocket wall.

“I’m not sure how to answer that question,” offensive lineman Brandon Clemons said. “I think the rotation is fine. I think it’s mainly the execution, just staying on your guy, keep-

ing leverage on your guy, technique, getting back to the point of play.”

O’Connor has taken the brunt of the criticisms but kept the faith of his coach. Now the future is murky for O’Connor who was yanked in the fourth quarter in favor of junior Damion Terry.

“Bottom line is production,” head coach Mark Dantonio said. “At some point in time you have to be productive. If you’re not productive and you have seven points on the board, then you have to make a change for the sake of change.

I didn’t think he was playing that badly.”

Terry was 6-of-10 for 63 yards but threw an interception and had to rush eight times for 29 yards and one touchdown. His interception was an ill advised throw to a receiver between two defensive backs.

When Terry walked onto the field under center, he received audible cheers from the sparse crowd who had longed for a change of command.

But even then the offense opened up, trailing 17-7 then 24-7 after the Terry interception.

But the opened playbook mattered little in a game that was out of reach. As for changes in the play calling, Dantonio placed the blame on everyone.

“I think you look at everything involved,” Dantonio said. “I already said that. It’s not one person’s fault; it’s a cumulative effect.

Play calling, structure, execution, it’s all of it.”

Cron Management announces fate of former Taco Bell building

BY MCKENNA ROSS MROSS@STATENEWS.COM

The 565 Building, operated by Cron Management, LLC, started demolition and construction last week on a new downtown mixed-use building project at 565 E. Grand River Ave. The building will be on the same lot as the old downtown East Lansing Taco Bell building and will be five stories, East Lansing director of planning, building and development Tim Dempsey said.

The first floor with be retail space and the upper floors will be apartments. The 36 apartments will range from one to three-bedroom units.

T he project is set to open in August 2017,before the school year begins, Cron Management owner Douglas Cron said.

The building’s architecture will take some cues from the surrounding area, but that’s not all it will take.

The exterior will feature building materials left over from the construction of the neighboring Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum.

Rendering of the proposed five-story building on the site of the former Taco Bell building at 565 E. Grand River Ave. The mixeduse building would feature one to threebedroom apartments with space for commercial use available on the first floor.

Rendering courtesy of Cron Management.

“We obtained some stainless steel left over and some glass windows,” Cron said. “We’re bringing some of the art museum across the street into the building.”

But Cron wants it to be clear this is a case of inspiration, not imitation.

“It’s from the art museum, not something made to look like the art museum,” he said.

The building will also feature an outdoor public plaza with landscaping and seating, Cron said.

Cron Management owns several other downtown East Lansing buildings, including GameStop and the rest of the 565 Building’s block.

Cron said this project will continue the style of those buildings.

City Manager George Lahanas said having another mixed-used building will be beneficial to the downtown, especially one sitting on previously unused space.

The former Taco Bell was built in the 1970s and had several tenants during its lifetime.

Knocking down the vacant building is an accomplishment in and of itself, Lahanas said.

ASMSU elects new Vice President for Academic Affairs

BY MADISON O’CONNOR MOCONNOR@STATENEWS.COM

ASMSU elected Cassandra Shavrnoch as the new vice president for academic affairs at the general assembly meeting Thursday night.

Shavrnoch will serve in the Office of the President at ASMSU. According to the election packet for the vice president of academic affairs found on ASMSU’s website, Shavrnoch’s new roles will include advancing ASMSU’s involvement in academic affairs, appointing and assisting representatives to University Council and Academic Governance committees and helping advise the ASMSU president on matters of academic affairs.

The position, previously held by neuroscience junior Tyler Orlando, became vacant when Orlando resigned because of medical issues.

Shavrnoch brings experience from three years at ASMSU, where she sat on the academic committee as well as the university committee for undergraduate education. She also brings leadership experience from other organizations such as the North American Indigenous Student Organization, or NAISO, and the Women’s Advisory Committee.

“I believe that ASMSU is at its best when everyone is proactive and engaged,” she said in her speech to the general assembly. “As your vice president of academic affairs, it is important that I create and maintain an environment where ideas flow from one another almost seamlessly and where everyone has the chance to become more involved and all areas of interest are adequately discussed.”

In her new role, Shavrnoch said she hopes to

improve the relationship between the academic committee and the general assembly representatives, she said during the ASMSU meeting. She would also like the assembly at large to become more involved and accountable.

“What I hope to accomplish during my time as vice president of academic affairs may be different than what has been done in the past,” she said. “I would like for everyone, even those of you who may not sit on academic committee, to feel free to bring their ideas to me” Shavrnoch told the general assembly that she feels prepared and ready for the job. She does not want to act as a wall between students and faculty members, but as a bridge between the two, she said.

“I just think that I’ve been in the sidelines long enough and I think I have good ideas that can be pushed forward this year,” she said. “I just think it’s time. I’ve been here for three years, and I’m ready.”

“What I hope to accomplish during my time as vice president of academic affairs may be different than what has been done in the past.”

THE STATE N E WS

MONDAY, OCTOBER 1 0, 2 01 6

As the internationally-recognized director of the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at MSU, Marc-Olivier Wahler’s day at the office is rarely average. Whether it’s attending meetings or traveling to meet artists, Wahler’s job keeps him on his toes.

“I like this job because nothing’s typical,” Wahler said. “I mean, of course I have meetings with the staff, meetings with donors, meetings with faculty from the community here, but also I’m traveling. ... I’m meeting artists, and basically I’m going where the artists are because I want to meet them in their studio to see the art they’re doing.”

Wahler was appointed to director of the Broad last March and began in July, according to the Broad’s website.

Wahler succeeded Founding Director Michael Rush when he passed away in March 2015.

“That was really tough, and I think as an organization we did a really good job without a director, but we are very happy now that he is here and that he’s providing such strong vision for the museum — we were really in need of that,” director of public relations at the Broad Whitney Stoepel said. “He’s got a good sense of humor, he brings tons and tons of experience to this position, so it’s really an honor to be able to work with him.”

Wahler first became interested in art as a teenager when he was thinking about pursuing a career in drawing or painting, but when he organized his first show, he realized he preferred putting the shows together over creating art himself.

“From that point, I started working in museums as a curator and then as a director,” he said. “But basically what I’m interested in is being in contact with the artist, trying to understand the way they look at things and understand our world and trying to bring tools for them to materialize their vision.”

Wahler’s way of meeting with artists and viewing contemporary art might be seen by some as unconventional.

When talking with artists, he tries to talk about anything but contemporary art, he said. While Wahler hails from a small town in Switzerland, where he said “no one was interested in contemporary art,” he has found a way to engage audiences.

“What I’m doing is trying to find the right vocabulary and right language to be used when I try to talk about and when I try to show art,” Wahler said.

“For me, when someone tells me, ‘I don’t understand,’ or ‘It doesn’t speak to me, it’s nothing,’ yeah, of course.

You don’t have the right type of lan-

guage. ... But it’s like, art is the same. If you start picking up on some words or some elements, then you can feel things better, you can enjoy and then at the end, you can speak.”

The path from Switzerland to East Lansing allowed Wahler to collect years of experience and prestigious awards in the art field along the way. In Switzerland, he helped create an art center that is now filled with galleries and artists. From there, he traveled to New York to run the Swiss Institute, which he helped transform from a national cultural institute to an international contemporary art center. After, he went to Paris to run the national art center, Palais de Tokyo.

MSU women’s basketball to bring mix of youth and returning leaders

BY DENISE SPANN DSPANN@STATENEWS.COM

The MSU women’s basketball team met with the media on Friday, and head coach Suzy Merchant said the team went to Europe during the summer to play some games and has already held 10 practices.

Last season, the Spartans made a run to the NCAA Tournament, but fell short with a twopoint loss against Mississippi State University in the second round. At the time, the team was led by upperclassmen Jasmine Hines, Akyah Taylor, Aerial Powers, Tori Jankoska and Branndais Agee.

Powers was a huge part of the team’s dynamic, but now she’s moved on to playing for the USA Basketball Select team and in the WNBA. Merchant said the transition couldn’t have come at a better time for the team, because MSU needed to get by without Powers sooner rather than later. “(Powers) is a great player, there’s no question about it,” Merchant said. “She just did so many things for us on both ends of the floor. That’s one thing about the Europe trip that I thought was perfect timing — we had to learn to play without her, and other kids had to step up and be ready to give their best and certainly get a different kind of gel and chemistry out there.”

The main core of seniors departed from MSU after last season, leaving the Spartans with plenty of young depth heading into the season. Young players like sophomore center Hana Vesela, along with redshirt-freshman forwards Nathy Dambo and Victoria Gaines, could be players to watch for.

MSU will also see the likes of young leaders in sophomore center Jenna Allen. Allen was one of the only freshmen from last season to get consistent playing time. She had a careerhigh of 23 minutes played against the University of Maryland and 14 points scored during the University of Nebraska game last year. Allen was an asset off the bench during the Big Ten Tournament last year against Ohio State University with 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

At the end of the season, Allen received the Pat Canning Coaches Award.

The team’s freshmen class consists of forwards Mardrekia Cook and Nia Hollie and guard Taryn McCutcheon. McCutcheon was a three-time first team state honoree in West Virginia, before finishing her high school career at East Lansing High School. McCutcheon is ranked No. 71 in the country by ESPN’s Hoopgurlz and No. 70 in Dan Olson’s Collegiate Girls Basketball Report. “(McCutcheon) is a huge addition to our team,” Agee said. “I mean, she can shoot the ball from the 3-point line, she can post up, so it’s going to be hard for the four, five man to check her. We’re excited about what she can do for this team.”

One of the players likely to lead the Spartans is Jankoska. Jankoska currently ranks as the fourth leading all-time 3-point shooter and will have a heavy workload with Powers missing.

Merchant said Jankoska is the one for the job and she brings a work ethic, toughness and energy as well as being the voice of the team.

“Tori (Jankoska) is like a natural-born leader, ever since she’s been here as freshman,” Merchant said. “She’s a feisty little thing, competitive. ... Her big thing is she has to learn to speak everybody’s language. Tori’s so competitive sometimes she speaks one language with one voice all the time, and that isn’t always going to work.”

Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams will open at the Breslin Center to showcase Midnight Madness on Oct. 14. The event is open to the public, and admission is free.

Doors are set to open at 8:30 p.m.

“I love the whole thing (Midnight Madness),” Jankoska said. “It’s so cool to have the whole arena that’s filled to see us and the boys. t’s like a huge production, we’re doing a dance this year and it’s just a chance for people to come and see us and learn about us, and get some more fans in our gym.”

MSU women’s basketball will host Northwood University in an exhibition match on Nov. 6.

Grind of Big Ten play proves to be no problem for MSU volleyball

BY SOUICHI TERADA STERADA@STATENEWS.COM

The No. 21-ranked MSU volleyball team was back in action during the weekend at Jenison Field House, hosting two conference opponents — then No. 14 Ohio State University and the University of Maryland, marking their third week of Big Ten play this season.

Since Big Ten play began, MSU has played ranked opponents every week, and with nine Big Ten teams in the American Volleyball Coaches Association, AVCA, top-25 poll, MSU is often tasked with a tough opponent.

Senior Allyssah Fitterer said she, and the rest of the Spartans, enjoy the grind of the conference season.

“We’re playing someone that’s ranked in the top-25 almost every single night,” Fitterer said. “Which, honestly, is the most exciting thing. You can’t ask for a better conference to be in.”

Head coach Cathy George is in her 12th season as the head of the program and has had success against her peers along the way. MSU has been one of only four teams in the Big Ten to have a .500 record or better in conference play the past five years.

George said after the match against Ohio State that playing Big Ten competition is challenging, but she also said the prospect of going against some of the best in the country keeps her team motivated.

“It’s exciting to play every weekend (in conference play),” George said. “You just have to kind of grind that out but you’re looking forward to the next opponent.”

One obstacle during the Big Ten season is playing games on back-to-back days. The players have to prepare for multiple scouting reports at a time with a short turnaround to keep in mind.

Redshirt-junior Autumn Bailey said playing in the Big Ten has been full of adjustments. That shift reaches off the court with the scouting reports, and Bailey said it’s a definite change of pace

from when she played at Marquette University before transferring to MSU. “At my old school, there were maybe one or two players you would have to focus on,” Bailey said. “On a team like Ohio State or really anybody in the Big Ten, almost every person they have hitting is an offensive threat so you have to focus on everyone. So that’s definitely different.”

A big factor in Bailey choosing to come to MSU was the Big Ten and the competition she’d be facing. She said so far, it’s lived up to her expectations.

“It’s definitely a grind (playing in the Big Ten),” Bailey said. “But I think that’s so much fun, it’s kind of what I wanted to do. Competitive volleyball is the best kind of volleyball so that’s been fun for me. It’s taught me a lot, I’ve had to learn a lot of new shots.”

MSU owns a 4-2 record six games into the season after their latest sweep. Of the two losses, it was to a then-No. 1 University of Nebraska in five sets and No. 15 Penn State University at Jenison.

After a successful weekend coupled with a win over a ranked Buckeye team, senior team captain Chloe Reinig said the Spartans will use their current success to continue their current winning streak, and that MSU’s mentality is different thant its been in recent years.

“In other years we’ve kind of set big goals and got blindsided a few times throughout the season and lost sight of that,” Reinig said. “But right now, we’re just trying to take it one game at a time. Trying to get better every single week, getting ready for the team we’re about to play. I think that’s paying off, we’re not thinking too far forward and we’re just playing in the moment.”

The MSU volleyball team will be in action again Oct. 12, against another ranked opponent, No. 24 University of Illinois, in Champaign, Ill. Afterwards, they’ll be back home at Jenison Field House hosting No. 1 University of Minnesota at 8 p.m. on Oct. 15.

Eat At State Masquerade rings in proposal

BY DANIELLE DUGGAN DDUGGAN@STATENEWS.COM

Though most think of The Gallery in Snyder-Phillips Hall as a nothing more than a place for food between classes, for physics junior Benjamin Roggenbuck and microbiology sophomore Casey Grody, it’s the place they got engaged.

After meeting at the cafeteria two and a half years ago, Roggenbuck said he thought it would be the perfect location for the proposal.

The pair met at the end of spring semester in 2014, when they both worked for the cafeteria. Roggenbuck was a supervisor and went to check on the dish room.

Grody was working in the dish room and the two had a lighthearted debate about cleaning the rice cooker.

“That’s how it all started,” Roggenbuck said.

The couple started dating two years later on April 4, 2016.

“It’s a very happy (relationship),” Roggenbuck said. “We have our few petty arguments, but we’ve never had a serious fight. We get along very well. We love each other. We understand each other’s differences.”

With the cafeteria meaning so much to the couple, Roggenbuck planned the proposal for the masquerade-themed party after Grody mentioned how perfect that would be.

After coordinating with his manager and her best friends, Roggenbuck had a plan in place.

During the cafeteria’s masquerade celebration, which included students dancing on a dance floor while a DJ played music, the floor was cleared for the couple.

When the music died down, he pulled Grody onto the floor and began narrating the sto-

ry of how they met. After telling her how certain he was about wanting to spend the rest of his life with, he knelt down and held up the ring box.

She giggled and told him he forgot to open the lid. He laughed back after finally opening the box to reveal a ring, got a “yes” as a response from Grody.

The song “Marry You” by Bruno Mars rang from the speakers, and the couple shared a brief slow dance together before their group of friends flooded onto the floor and gathered around the pair in a giant group hug.

Once they left the floor, Grody hardly had words to describe what she was feeling.

“I’m super excited, I might cry, I don’t know, it was perfect,” Grody said.

Feeling both ecstatic and relieved, Roggenbuck said he couldn’t have asked for it to go any better.

“It’s fantastic,” Roggenbuck said. “I mean it was a lot of working getting this ready to go.

It definitely turned out better than I thought.

There was a couple adjustments I had to make here and there, but you know what, at the end of the day, it all went down perfect.”

The couple plans on saving the wedding for after they’ve both graduated from college.

They’re hoping this is in two or three years.

Until then, they’re happily living together and look for ward to enjoy ing their engagement.

“Just being in the same room makes me happy,” Roggenbuck said. “I’ve never met anyone like her, and I just want to be with her for the rest of my life, because I’m not going to find anyone like this and I don’t think there’s anything else in the world that could make me this happy.”

“Obviously, very disappointed. As I told our football team after the game, this program has been built on a pretty solid foundation. It has taken nine years to do that. It’s taken that long to get to where we’ve been. The ride up the mountain is very difficult at times, but the ride down can be very quick. The reality is that we’re a 2-3 football team. Should we handle ourselves with conviction, there are some things we need to be able to do in order to turn this thing around.”
