Religious activists should favor acceptance over judgment Politically active Christians can use their resources to help the poor or sexual assault victims instead of merely protesting abortion Illustration: Deon Howard

By Anthony zito opinion@Statenews.com

A short time ago as I was driving down Grand River Avenue, I noticed a rather large gathering of Christian anti-abortion protestors lining the sidewalk. As I drove further I realized that this protest spanned about a mile; there were people holding signs beginning at Hagadorn Road and reaching all the way down to Abbot Road. They were certainly hoping to grab some attention.

Among them was a group of nuns dressed in their habits and staring solemnly but seriously at each car as it passed. The protestors who joined them wore similar gaunt expressions, as if they were trying to gaze into the eyes of each passing driver, hoping to make each of us feel a pang of guilt.

I grew up in a religious family, and I do remember reading time and again certain Bible passages where Jesus refers to people who openly pray on street corners as hypocrites. I suddenly remembered those particular verses as I closely watched these protestors while at a stoplight.

It really made me think — we live in a world riddled with numerous social injustices, many of which have been present throughout history and were even addressed by Jesus himself in the Bible. His primary concern was care for others in unfortunate situations — those who are sick, poor and hungry.

But when I think about it, I can’t recall the last time I saw this many Christians gathered in a public area to protest the increasing wealth gap or income inequality. I have never seen Christians gather en masse to address issues of sweatshop labor or corporate indifference to harmful environmental practices.

I have only seen the most politically active Christians victimize both women and members of other religious faiths.

As students attending MSU, and also as residents of East Lansing, we do live in a very privileged environment where it is easy to forget about things like poverty and to take for granted the material luxuries that we have access to in our daily lives.

My fear is that devout Christians in their activism are forgetting what their religion truly means and what Jesus advocated for, in context of the suffering that is happening on a glob-

al level, and not simply in their local communities.

With statistics rising for the number of sexual assaults on college campuses, it is perhaps best for church communities to avoid pouring salt on any wounds by taking to the main street in a college town and casting a judgmental eye on those who have had to make the emotional and life-altering decision of whether or not to have an abortion. This sort of protest is not going to help people who have unwanted pregnancies; it will merely make these individuals feel condemned and unnecessarily guilty about themselves and their situation.

Church communities should instead be reaching out with kindness and acceptance, and should be wary — while they are so adamantly fighting against a woman’s right to choose in what is never a black-or-white situation — of overlooking the millions of poor and ostracized on the brink of death who could use the attention from people like us who have the resources to help make a difference.

LETTER: Interim ASMSU officials shouldn’t automatically win an open seat The Associated Students of Michigan State University, or ASMSU, is the undergraduate student government on campus. It is comprised of a popularly elected body — the general assembly — that is most similar to Congress, a large unelected staff that enacts the directives of the general assembly and an elected cabinet of executives that oversee and facilitate the entire process. There are six vice president positions and one all-powerful commander-in-chief.

ASMSU’s code states that in the event of a vacancy of any of the vice president positions, the president is allowed to appoint a temporary replacement for a period of three weeks. An election usually follows that appointment period. Time has proven that the person who gets appointed usually runs for the open seat and usually wins the election.

As a fourth year member of ASMSU, a past vice president and a current student allocations board

director, I have expressed my concerns about this problem to my colleagues at ASMSU regarding how this and several other elements of the code of operations could be problematic.

This is not to say that they do not care about the issues at hand or that there are shady dealings in ASMSU. My colleagues generally do not recognize this issue as an immediately striking problem, but I do. Although I cannot say for sure if this has been abused in the past, its potential for abuse is so overwhelming that I believe it demands immediate attention and needs to be reworked before ASMSU can truly be a democracy.

For example, the president of ASMSU could easily appoint his or her best friend into the position for the three weeks as a really good resume builder. Although this is unethical, undemocratic and a violation of good practice in politics — if there is such a thing — this is sadly preferable to the alternative. The president of ASMSU could easi-

ly put a person in the position that they wanted to hold the position permanently, giving them the experience needed to have an edge on the other candidates, if any exist.

The last three occasions that the ASMSU president has appointed someone into a VP position, the person who was appointed has won the seat. Two of these occasions have been uncontested and the one that was contested was a landslide victory. I think it is relatively clear that this is problematic, but these views don’t gain much traction because this is a system that people continue to benefit from and are sometimes afraid to challenge.

Sometimes I think their slogan changed away from “Your Student Government, Your Voice” for a reason. It doesn’t seem like it’s “your voice” anymore, but more like the voice of the president of ASMSU who isn’t even popularly elected.

I think it is time for ASMSU to admit its faults in design, come to the table and invite all (any MSU

student/faculty/staff) that are willing to help in turning ASMSU into a more fair, aware and present organization.

While other same-sex marriage decisions left to lower courts, MI’s future uncertain Same-sex couples who were married in March are awaiting a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit that may or may not uphold a ban on same-sex marriages in Michigan.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit is expected to rule soon.

Ingham County Clerk Barbara Byrum said she was expecting a ruling sooner.

“I was hoping for a ruling a while back but I look forward to them ruling in favor of love and equality,” Byrum said.

Byrum, one of the county clerks who opened the courthouse after a district court judge declared the ban on gay marriage unconstitu-

tional, said the couples she married are in legal limbo. “(Same-sex married couples) have been continued to be treated as second-class citizens in our state, and I look forward to the day when all loving couples have the ability to marry,” Byrum said.

The Supreme Court decided on Oct. 6 that it would not review the rulings made by lower courts that removed state bans on same-sex marriage.

MSU College of Law professor Mae Kuykendall said the Supreme Court’s action does not count as a ruling.

“They didn’t do a ruling, they merely refused to hear the cases and they didn’t gave any explanation,” Kuykendall said. “We don’t know who

voted how.”

Kuykendall said the Supreme Court’s decision to decline to hear a case would make the lower courts decision stand in place.

“The Supreme Court is not saying that there is a right to marriage equality to gay people, it has merely declined to review cases for the circuits,” Kuykendall said.

The states of Colorado, Indiana, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming were affected by the Supreme Court’s refusal and can issue marriage licenses.

In Michigan, the circumstances of these wedded couples are not yet clear.

“We still have a status quo in Michigan,” Kuykendall said. “So the couples that got mar-

ried in the brief period after the district court issued its decision are kind of in a gray area because Michigan still says that there’s no such thing as gay marriage.”

Although Kuykendall said she didn’t know how the judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit will vote, she acknowledged two of them are in polar oppositions — one wants to uphold the ban, while the other wants to overturn it.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has chosen not to review marriage cases in other circuits at this time. Michigan joins Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky in awaiting a decision by the 6th Circuit in our pending cases, which we expect will be resolved soon,” Attorney General Bill Schuette’s spokeswoman Joy Yearout said in a statement.

Construction of first-rate isotope research facility ahead of schedule

By Olivia Dimmer odimmer@statenews.com

Construction on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams has been barreling ahead since its groundbreaking in March, putting the project nine weeks ahead of schedule, Conventional Facilities and Infrastructure Deputy Director of FRIB Chris Thronson said.

The facility, which is currently having the concrete for the accelerator tunnel poured and waterproofed, is scheduled to be completed in June 2022, and will cost around $730 million and be paid for by a U.S. Department of Energy grant.

The facility was designed to, among other things, further scientists’ understanding of atoms and nuclei and the origins of the elements. FRIB science has applications in fields such as military defense, energy and medicine, FRIB Chief Scientist Witold Nazarewicz said.

“In short, FRIB will be the world’s most powerful facility to explore the rare isotope frontier, making nearly 80 percent of the isotopes predicted to exist for elements up to uranium...”

Witold Nazarewicz, FRIB chief scientist

“When built, FRIB will be the world-leading facility,” he said. “It will be the only (facility of its kind) in the U.S., and it will surpass facilities in Europe, in Asia in terms of scientific reach. In short, FRIB will be the world’s most powerful facility to explore the rare isotope frontier, making nearly 80 percent of the isotopes predicted to exist for elements up to uranium and providing

access to beams of the most interesting isotopes.”

Nazarewicz said the possibilities with FRIB will crack open a new chapter in scientific discovery.

“Experiments with the new isotopes produced at FRIB will lead to a comprehensive description of all nuclei...provide an understanding of matter in neutron stars, and establish the scientific foundation for innovative applications of nuclear science to society,” he said.

While FRIB is still a long ways off from completion, Thronson said the project has been coming along well, despite changes to plans.

“We changed our sequence. We were going to work from west to east, but we started at both ends and worked toward the middle,” Thronson said. “We’ve also gained a lot of efficiency from the tradesmen working on-site.”

Because of the efficiency gained, the lid on the accelerator tunnel, which will deliver high-power ion beams scientists can use to study isotopes, will be poured later this month, marking a milestone in FRIB construction, Conventional Facilities Division Director Brad Bull said.

While colder temperatures and snow are on the

horizon for the FRIB crews, Bull said the colder temperatures will not impede construction.

“We’re not going to stop,” Bull said. “It might be marginally slower just because there’s less daylight and a little more precautions as far as ice buildup and those things, but the cold doesn’t hurt.”

In fact, the cold will assist crews in keeping poured concrete from overheating, Thronson said.

The lid for the accelerator tunnel is tentatively scheduled to be poured on Oct. 23, Bull said.

MSU researchers discover high-energy gamma rays in common nuclear explosion

BY Greg Monahan gmonAhan@statenews.com

Peering 5,000 light years away into space, MSU researchers made a first-of-its-kind discovery.

Gamma rays, the highest-energy form of light in our universe, were found emitting from an explosion on a star by a research team led by MSU astronomy assistant professor Laura Chomiuk.

The team’s findings appeared in the most recent edition of the science journal Nature.

The explosions, called novae, were not believed to be capable of producing gamma rays. But after using both gamma ray and radio telescopes to examine a nova 5,000 light years away, Chomiuk said they saw evidence of gamma rays, which were “totally unexpected.”

“Novae are really common nuclear explosions,” Chomiuk said.

“They’re supposed to be relatively innocuous and low-energy, but we picked up signs of the highest energy type of light, which are gamma rays.”

What fascinates astronomers about the presence of gamma rays is the immense amount of energy it takes to create them, said MSU researcher Justin Linford, who helped co-author the study.

“Any really high-energy explosion requires special processes to happen,” he said. “It usually involves something very explosive or powerful. That kind of puts it into the realm of ‘interesting by default’ for us scientists.”

These powerful emissions had never before been detected from within a nova, which both Chomiuk and Linford said were not thought to be volatile enough to create such

high-energy results.

“If you talked to somebody 10 years ago, 90 percent of the people with a science background would have told you that novae aren’t that interesting and we already know everything about them,” Linford said. “But the more we study these things, the more we come to realize that there is no such thing as a ‘regular’ nova. There’s always something weird going on.”

Chomiuk said she hopes her study will spur the science community to search for other possible origins of gamma rays that, like novae, were previously not considered to be capable of producing the high-energy wavelengths of light.

“We don’t really know where gamma rays come from and we still don’t really understand how they are created,” Chomiuk said. “This is just one step that will hopefully help us answer some of these questions.”

College of Music celebrates 80 years of accreditation But its history stems back 154 years and continues to thrive with a dedicated and enthusiastic faculty and a student body representing 35 different U.S. states and 23 countries

By Lauren Owings lowings@statenews.com

“It’s easy when you’re in a high pressure environment to care about the students only as performers, but these teachers truly cared about students as people.”

Jim Barry, College of Music alumnus

“The faculty. It’s all about the faculty,” said Diego Rivera, MSU professor of jazz studies, saxophone and improvisation.

It’s hard to talk about the College of Music without focusing largely on the faculty that has shaped it throughout its 80 years of accreditation. “(The College of Music) has an exceptional faculty that is very collaborative and has a tremendous work ethic, focused on rocketing forward,” said James Forger, dean of the College of Music.

With students from 35 different states and 23 countries, the College of Music has made a name for itself as a top program in the country.

Whether it’s the MSUFCU Jazz Artist in Residence program, which brought acclaimed bassist Christian McBride to campus last week, or its wide range of areas of study for undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students, the College of Music continues to hurtle forward in prestige in the world of music education.

A rich history Though the department was fully accredited in

1934 by the National Association of Schools of Music, its history runs much deeper than that.

Students first began to pursue music in 1860 at the Agricultural College of the State of Michigan, as MSU was known back then.

According to the MSU University Archives & Historical Collections, in 1870, the first campus band was formed by Civil War veteran Ransom McDonough Brooks. Music was also a part of the women’s program curriculum until a separate music department was created in 1919.

In 1927, music education became a degree program, though it was only a small department in the College of Arts and Letters.

In the late 1980s it became a school of music.

It finally was recognized as the College of Music in 2007, when the MSU Board of Trustees recognized the school’s growth and prestige among national music performance and music education programs.

Trumpet professor Richard Illman said this progression was not just a change of name — it showed an improvement in the quality of the program, and deservedly so.

Alumnus Jim Barry, class of 1973, taught music for two years in Holly, Mich. and 31 years in Okemos.

Barry, who is now retired, said the curriculum in the College of Music is so well-balanced that students can go there and get the greatest instruction in anything.

A memory that stands out for Barry, who was an instrumental music major and a member of the Spartan Marching Band, was his entrance into the Notre Dame football stadium after a big MSU win. Notre Dame students were enraged by their loss, and harassed Barry and the other members of the Spartan Marching Band as they entered the stadium. But this was Barry’s first Big Ten game, and the grandeur of thousands of fans and the spirit of college football overpowered the jeers from the Notre Dame students.

Some of Barry’s fondest memories come from playing in the MSU Symphony Band under director Kenneth G. Bloomquist. Bloomquist came to MSU in 1970, and Barry remembers him as an outgoing and motivated individual who was passionate about his students. It was from him that Barry learned how to motivate and get the best out of students.

Barry said all of the professors in the music program really cared about the students and their futures. His professors even assisted him in getting a job after graduation.

Spotlight A student composes music in 1967.

He said his education in the music program helped him grow in so many ways, and prepared him well to get out in the workforce and start teaching.

“It’s easy when you’re in a high pressure environment to care about the students only as performers, but these teachers truly cared about the students as people,” Barry said.

In tune Rivera spent time in and out of classes at MSU, but always stayed in contact with director of jazz studies Rodney Whitaker. Rivera said when it came time to finish his degree, Whitaker made it an easy transition for him to get back into the college routine. The year after he graduated, Whitaker offered him a position on the faculty.

“I felt obligated in the sense that I really wanted to see the program thrive, and anything I could do to be a part of that,” Rivera said.

Being a professor at MSU also gave Rivera a chance to work with someone as passionate as Whitaker. In turn, Rivera has developed that same passion for his students.

“Being able to see the students get that ‘aha’ moment, if it’s in the classroom or in a lesson or at a performance,” Rivera said of his favorite moments in the classroom. “Just to see students work incredibly hard to chase their dreams, and to see the smaller moments when they start to piece their careers together.”

Illman’s favorite aspect of teaching is interacting with students and colleagues.

“It’s good to be with people that are friend-

It’s those opportunities that Tamborini relishes the most.

“The small ensembles are where I learn the most and can collaborate with the other talented musicians,” Tamborini said.

Though he initially planned on majoring in biochemistry, he auditioned for the College of Music on a whim, just to see if he was good enough.

The 20th anniversary of MSU Safe Place, a free support program for victims of domestic violence, coincides with Domestic Violence Awareness Month this month.

With several programs such as counseling and support groups, MSU Safe Place cares for individuals at the university and in the Lansing community.

MSU Safe Place intern and English senior Kerrigan Stubbs will be attending an event commemorating MSU Safe Place’s anniversary Wednesday in the Lincoln Room at the Kellogg Center.

“It’s really big for us,” Stubbs said. “We were the only on-campus safe center starting out and we still are the only on-campus domestic violence and stalking (safe center). It’s a huge privilege.”

Stubbs said helping MSU Safe Place has given her great experience.

“I found out about the organization when I was a sophomore and it fascinated me,” Stubbs said. “It’s something I want to work for in the future, especially in non-profit. Knowing that my job helps people, providing free counseling in domestic violence, it’s very rewarding.”

Students across campus are contributing to MSU Safe Place and spreading the word about Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

“Alpha Chi Omega is a sorority that has supported domestic violence through the Safe Place for years,” said MSU Safe Place/CARE Advocacy coordinator Erica Schmittdiel. “Some of the members decided to get involved and reach out to Verizon Wireless, which donated this past Wednesday.”

The $25,000 donation on Oct. 8 came through Verizon Wireless’ HopeLine program. HopeLine provides used cell phones and other electronics to victims and survivors of domestic violence. With the ability to call for help during a crisis, they hope victims of domestic violence will feel safer.

“When someone is a victim of domestic violence, it impacts everyone around them, family, friends, and we know it’s helpful to have a phone available to contact 911, your mom, a mentor or a friend,” said Trevor Thomas, public relations manager for Verizon Wireless in Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky.

Thomas said donations from the public drive the program.

“We’ve collected over 10 million phones, millions of dollars in grants and each phone comes with 3,000 free minutes and 9,000 free text messages,” Thomas said.

“We encourage the public to get engaged for October Domestic Violence (Awareness) Month.”

HopeLine organizers hope to collect 3,000 devices through the campaign. Individuals can donate electronics at any Verizon Wireless store until Nov. 30.

PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE TRUFFLES 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 3 ounces softened cream cheese 1 1/2 cups gingersnap cookie crumbs 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup white chocolate chips 1/3 cup graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree 1/8 teaspoon salt PREP: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs, pumpkin puree, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, cinnamon, salt and cream cheese. Mix until it is smooth.

Melt 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips and add into mixture.

Chill the dough until it is solid enough to roll into truffle balls (about 30 minutes in the freezer) When cold enough, roll into 12-14 balls and place a toothpick in the center of each ball.

Melt the remaining white chocolate chips in a small bowl and use the toothpicks attached to the truffles to dip them in the white chocolate. Be sure to coat all sides and let the excess drip off before placing on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or foil.

Chill the balls in freezer for up to five more minutes until white chocolate hardens.

Drizzle more white chocolate over the balls if desired. Store in a cool place.

Makes 12-14 truffles.

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking soda 2 large eggs 2 cups (12-ounce bag) milk chocolate chips, not semisweet 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 1 cup white sugar 1 cup light brown sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup canned pumpkin puree 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg PREP: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper to prevent cookies from sticking to the sheet.

In a mixing bowl, stir the butter until smooth.

Add in the white and brown sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Mix in the eggs one at a time, then add in the vanilla and pumpkin puree.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.

Slowly mix the flour mixture into the batter in thirds and stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop the cookie dough by tablespoons on the cookie sheets and bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cookies are browned around the edges.

Makes approximately two dozen cookies.

CHAI TEA COOKIES 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon chai tea mix 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon salt PREP: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper to prevent cookies from sticking to the sheet.

Mix the flour, sugar, cinnamon, powdered sugar, tea mix and salt together in a small bowl until the tea is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Add in the vanilla and butter and mix until dough is formed.

Scoop the dough out by tablespoons on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are beginning to brown.

Makes approximately two dozen cookies.

Dantonio addressed fourth quarter woes and milestone game at weekly presser Saturday’s road game against Indiana will be head coach Mark Dantonio’s 100th game at MSU

By Geoff Preston gpreston@statenews.com

Football head coach Mark Dantonio was at the podium Tuesday to discuss his team’s offensive inefficiency in the fourth quarter, the 100th game for his staff and the addition of recruit Tyriq Thompson to the Spartans.

FOURTH QUARTER WOES Of the 278 points MSU has scored this season, only 28 have come in the fourth quarter, a stat that concerns Dantonio going forward, even though he said some of the games MSU has played in this season have been blowouts.

“Certainly you want to score more than 28 (points) in the fourth quarter, but I think some of that is a result of ... us having our twos in the game and not going at our normal pace,” he said. “You want to address your weaknesses and areas you need to improve in, that’s one of those areas.”

D a nton io c ou ld n’t pi n down one commonality in the games when MSU has struggled in the fourth quarter (Oregon, Nebraska and Purdue).

“The bottom line is, do you score points in those situations and put the game out of reach?” he said. “I think our football team is resilient and we are looking forward to the opportunity this weekend.”

WELCOME TO THE FAMILY MSU welcomed a new face to their roster Monday when they signed linebacker Tyriq Thompson from Detroit.

Thompson will enroll a semester early at MSU and will be working out with the team in the offseason.

Dantonio said he can play right away for MSU. “I think he’s prepared for it and I think he’s mature enough to handle it,” he said. “All indications are he would be able to play as a true freshman.”

Thompson also plays running back at Martin Luther King High School in Detroit. Dantonio said he likes the linebacker’s explosiveness and speed.

“Very quick, very explosive very intelligent (player),” he said.

“It will be exciting to watch him moving forward.”

ana will not just be for the Old Brass Spittoon — it will also mark the 100th game for Dantonio at MSU, an era that has seen very little turnover in his staff.

“We haven’t had a lot of attri-

tion here,” he said. “I really didn’t think about 100 games.

That’s almost unthinkable when you’re staring at game No. 1.”

Dantonio has a 69-30 overall record at MSU. He has yet

to lose to Indiana since joining MSU in 2007, and on Saturday, he will attempt to boost his overall number of wins up to 70.

“I just want to thank every-

one that has been involved with the program,” he said. “Especially our players who many have come and gone and have been very, very important to our success.”

Western Michigan will be a family reunion for men’s soccer on Wednesday

By Matt Argillander margillander@statenews.com

As the men’s soccer team (7-2-2 overall, 2-1-1 Big Ten) prepares to take on the Western Michigan Broncos (6-3-3 overall, 0-0-1 MAC) on Wednesday afternoon, they will see a lot of familiar faces on the opposing team.

Several players from MSU and WMU played together over the summer for Lansing United in its inaugural season in the Midwest Region National Premier Soccer League, in which they won the Great Lakes West Conference championship and finished with an 8-4-2 record.

Lansing United’s players from MSU included junior goalkeeper Zach Bennett, senior defender Ryan Keener, senior forward Tim Kreutz and junior midfielder Jason Stacy.

The State N e ws

Lansing United’s players from Western Michigan included sophomore midfielder Matheau Rogers, junior midfielder Greg Timmer and sophomore defender Hunter Vandenboom.

“It helps and hurts — we know them, they know us,” Bennett said. “It gives motivation to both sides, both sides want to win, it’s an (in-state) matchup … it will be a little weird seeing some of the guys on the other side of the field in different uniforms then your own.”

With MSU and Western Michigan being in-state rivals, several players are already familiar with each other, having spent time playing against each other before college.

“That’s the fun of in-state rivals, (there are) a lot of guys we’ve played growing up,” Keener said. “(There are) a lot of guys we’ve seen around and you’re familiar with everyone — that brings a little extra competitiveness to the game.”

Wednesday, Octo b e r 1 5, 2 01 4

There is also former MSU player junior midfielder Sean Conerty, who transferred to WMU after two seasons with the Spartans. Conerty is thriving with his new team and currently is in second place in the NCAA for total assists on the season with eight assists thus far.

While at MSU, Conerty was also relatively successful. In 2012, he started in seven games and played in 18, finishing the season with two goals, three assists, and seven points. In 2013, Conerty started in 18 games and appeared in all 23 of the games that season, finishing the season with three goals, three assists and nine points.

“I have a lot of respect for Sean Conerty, he’s a nice kid and a good player,” head coach Damon Rensing said. “Obviously Western has some good players, they’re on a roll here (losing only) one game in their last (eight).”

Yik Yak app allows anonymity An app made for college campuses, Yik Yak acts as anonymous Twitter, which can allow for sexist or racist messages

By Brittanie Chludzinski bchludzinski@statenews.com

By LIzzie nagel lnagel@statenews.com

Do you want to chat candidly about something without revealing your name? There’s an app for that.

Yik Yak is a relatively new social media platform made specifically for college campuses. It is designed like Twitter, but is anonymous. Anyone who registers can post messages anonymously and read messages, or yaks, from other users within a 1.5 mile radius. Users can then upvote or downvote the messages.

The Rules and Info section of the app said that Yik Yak was made to create communities that

allow anyone to connect and share information.

But some students see a problem with the anonymous social media platform — users are able to post comments that could be considered sexist, vulgar or racist.

One recent post read, “Whenever I’m on a crowded bus, I grope as many girls as I can.”

A handful of colleges, such as the University of Iowa, have banned Yik Yak because of the inappropriate messages and death threats transmitted through the app.

“I don’t totally understand why people use it,” said theatre freshman Camille Thomas. “I think it’s

stupid and dangerous.”

Sometimes the app is cluttered with jokes or comments such as “Guys tomorrow is Monday...you know what that means?!?! COMBOS!!”

Often, there are complaints about an upcoming exam — “Professors don’t go to exams, why should I?” Some students such as arts and humanities freshman Aaron Sanford think the app is a good way for students to express themselves in college without fearing repercussions.

“Sometimes you want to talk about school, a class or your job, but you can’t tweet about it because you can get in trouble, so you can just yak about it.”

As Wharton Center welcomes numerous musicals and wellknown broadway shows to campus every year, this semester’s lineup of professional performances will begin tonight with “Once” the musical.

As a winner of eight Tony Awards in 2012, including Best Musical, “Once” tells the story of a street musician from Ireland who is in the midst of ending his music career until he unexpectedly meets a woman that becomes inspired by his songs.

While this story focuses on the power of music, the entire cast

of “Once” play their own instruments on the stage throughout the show, including a “pre-show jam session” 15 minutes prior to each performance. “‘Once’ is one of the hottest shows on Broadway and now it’s in East Lansing,” Wharton Center Public Relations Manager Bob Hoffman said. “You don’t have to travel to New York City to see the best in entertainment.”

The musical will play at the Wharton Center Oct. 14-19. Tickets are available starting at $34 for the public.

MSU students can order tickets online for $30 by using their PID number. This student discount is only available for the evening performances on Oct. 14 and 15.
