Punishment for marijuana use is too extreme, and it’s time to decriminalize Beyond the ramifications students face at MSU, criminal marijuana convictions are costing the state of Michigan money that could be better spent on infrastructure or education

Editorial board editor in chief Celeste Bott staff rep Geoff Preston OPINION INTERNS Anthony Herta Brandi Scarber

When it comes to marijuana, does the punishment fit the crime?

In Michigan, possessing marijuana in any amount is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for no more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $2,000, or both.

For students taking part in something that, let’s face it, has become a cultural norm today, consequences can go well beyond that.

At MSU, because the university is under the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, it is illegal to possess marijuana on campus — even if it is for medical reasons.

If you have a medical marijuana card, arrangements will be made for you to live off-campus, according to MSU’s assistant general counsel Rob Kent.

If caught using, students can be placed on university probation, meaning after one more violation they will be asked to leave MSU. If convicted of using or possessing marijuana, a student can even lose financial aid eligibility. For many students, this would force them to leave school altogether.

We’re not excusing the deliberate decision to partake in criminal activity. MSU students are adults and should respect the

adult consequences for their actions. But let’s face it, many college students are going to experiment with marijuana.

And for students who have their entire academic future at stake, we don’t think the current punishment fits the crime.

It’s time to decriminalize marijuana because students aren’t the only ones who can’t afford for us not to. Our overcrowded prisons are full of inmates with marijuana convictions, which is costing the state of Michigan millions of dollars. That money could be better spent on fixing the potholes in the roads or, better yet, as funding for higher education.

There are legitimate concerns about marijuana use that we as students don’t have answers to, including how it may affect growth and development. So treat marijuana like alcohol and make it legal for use only by those 21 or older. Don’t treat it like a narcotic or a hard drug.

And the “gateway drug” excuse is wearing thin.

Our changing culture and the social costs alone are a compelling argument for legalizing marijuana, especially since doing so isn’t going to turn impressionable young people into unmotivated stoners. Have a little more faith in us than that.

LETTER: Students, the next generation should be aware of overpopulation

Do you think marijuana should be decriminalized in Michigan?

To vote, visit statenews.com

As a student or faculty member of MSU, please accept the invitation to speak out on the most avoided, evaded, ignored and suppressed issue in America today: human overpopulation.

When I graduated from MSU in 1970, there were 200 million people in the U.S. The world boasted roughly 3.5 billion. In 44 years, America has burst its britches, growing to 317 million while the world exploded to 7.2 billion. Humanity adds another 1 billion every 12 years on its way to 10 billion by 2050—a scant 36 years from now.

Within 36 years, the United States expects to add 138 million people, growing from 300 million in 2007 to 438 million by 2050, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2014, seven states faced water shortages. The Earth’s destabilized climate generates erratic storms and ever-greater disasters.

Yet no world leader or U.S. academic or politician whispers a sentence about humanity’s

ultimate predicament. Since I bicycled over 150,000 miles across six continents — from the Arctic to Antarctica and nearly 100 countries — I witnessed the accelerating destruction of our oceans, rainforests, rivers, biosphere and wildlife. Humans devour everything in their path like Michigan wheat combines devour the summer’s harvest —24/7.

On my pedaling journey through China, Asia and Bangladesh, I witnessed human misery and compaction on a scale that cannot be described. In South America, I watched them burn and demolish millions of rainforest acres; enough to destroy the weather patterns so vital to biodiversity.

In my scuba diving adventures under the waves, I watched plastic form the 100 million ton “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” that is now bigger than Texas and 60 to 90 feet deep in places.

It kills endless millions of sea creatures.

While in Antarctica, I reported on top scientists’ discovery of the global climate change models 15 years ago that announced humanity’s accelF RIday, oc to BER 1 0, 2 01 4

My generation marched against the Vietnam War back in the ‘60s, and now I invite you to save your future and that of your children by marching, speaking up, writing and causing enough commotion to begin the most important discussion in the 21st century — the need for human population stabilization.

MSU football will look to continue win streak against Purdue After a disappointing finish against Nebraska last week, junior quarterback Connor Cook will look to get the Spartans — and himself — back on track against Purdue this weekend. MSU has won its last five games against the Boilermakers Purdue senior running back Akeem Hunt breaks away from Illinois defensive lineman Jihad Ward on Saturday at the University of Illinois Memorial Stadium.

F

ollowing this past Saturday’s 27-22 victory over No. 21 Nebraska, junior quarterback Connor Cook said all wins count as one.

While this week’s matchup against Purdue isn’t receiving as much national attention, that same mindset will carry over as the Spartans continue to trek through Big Ten play.

MSU has owned the Boilermakers as of late — winning the last five meetings — and is a three touchdown favorite this week, but the Spartans aren’t taking Purdue lightly. The Boilermakers stand as the next roadblock to break through in pursuit of back-to-back Big Ten titles for MSU, and head coach Mark Dantonio said he expects an upset-minded Purdue team to be ready to go on Saturday when Sparty comes to Ross-Ade Stadium.

“When you stay the course and you allow yourself or people allow you to critique what you’re doing, you can get better. I think that’s what they are doing,” Dantonio said.

“They seem to play up to their competition.”

FRI day, octoBER 1 0, 2 01 4

Back on the road It’s been more than a month since MSU has traveled to an opponent’s home turf, and players and coaches are ready to get back on the road.

The Spartans won their last trip to Ross-Ade Stadium in 2009, and Dantonio carries a perfect 2-0 record when traveling to West Lafayette, Ind. Dantonio is excited to get back on the road this week and said when it comes to road games he’ll make changes and adjustments to pre-game rituals to keep things fresh. “(You) want to make it different and want (players) to have some of the same dynamics they have at home, but at the same time it’s different,” Dantonio said. “So you have to approach it differently. So we do some different things that we don’t do at home.”

Dantonio switch-ups for the road have worked for MSU in the past. In its last 20 away games, MSU boasts a 14-6 record, including wins at Nebraska, Ohio State and Michigan.

One of the six road losses MSU has endured recently was on Sept. 6 against then-No. 3 Oregon. Through the early season road loss, junior linebacker Ed Davis said MSU was able to learn more about communicating in a hostile environment and can use that experience as a helpful tool for this week’s road matchup.

“It’s very beneficial,” Davis said of having one road game already under the team’s belt. “We know what it takes now, we know the mistakes we can’t make and we know we have to communicate without a doubt, because if we don’t communicate, we can give up big plays that can lose us some games.”

Cook’s consistency One area of focus this week for MSU will be getting Cook back on track after a poor outing last Saturday against Nebraska.

Cook was inaccurate throughout the evening, finishing 11 of 29 passing completions. He also

done better, I’m sure. But at the same time, you credit Purdue and what they came and brought to the table. Again, I think (Purdue) played up when they came here and I expect a very competitive game over there.”

While MSU’s offense was only able to produce 294 total yards, the Spartan defense was stellar last year against the Boilermakers. MSU held Purdue to only 226 total yards and former outside linebacker Denicos Allen had a scoop-and-score fumble recovery for a touchdown to give the Green and White a 7-0 lead in the second quarter.

Purdue returns 10 offensive starters from last season’s team, including skilled senior running back Akeem Hunt. Through six games, Hunt is averaging more than 100 yards per game in all-purpose yards and had a strong showing last season that caught some Spartan defenders’ attention.

Senior defensive end Marcus Rush admitted that he doesn’t have a great memory, but did remember playing against Hunt and the Purdue rushing attack last season. He said the Purdue rushing game was solid and can pose some potential problems for MSU if they don’t come ready to play.

“I remember they had a big back that ran the ball really well,” Rush said. “He ran it hard and I think we struggled a little bit with him. They’re a good power team so we just got to be on our A game.”

2-0

Robert Bondy Football reporter

MSU-38 Purdue-10 No. 8 MSU is back on the road again this weekend and while away conference games normally stand as tall tasks, that won’t be the case this week.

MSU is by far a more superior team then Purdue and the Spartans will show it this weekend. After needing late heroics from junior cornerback Trae Waynes last week against Nebraska, don’t expect MSU to let this one slip away. The Spartans will jump to an early lead and prove they can hold onto a big lead.

Junior quarterback Connor Cook will get back on track against the nation’s No. 105-ranked pass defense, reaching 300 yards in the air. Expect Cook to run the ball a little bit more this week as well.

The defense will build off last week’s effort and put extreme pressure on rookie Boilermaker sophomore quarterback Austin Appleby. Expect the ‘Spartan Dawgs’ to force at least two interceptions out of Appleby in a smothering attack.

In the end this one is never close, with MSU cruising to an easy win and 2-0 Big Ten record.

F RIday, o c to B E R 1 0, 2 01 4

No. 8 MSU travels down to West Lafayette, Ind. this week to take on a Purdue team that has shown improvements from the team that went 1-11 last season.

Those improvements and a history of close games with MSU won’t be enough this week to knock off the Spartans.

Yes, Purdue kept last season’s game close and ever since changing quarterbacks the team has shown offensive improvements. The Boilermakers have a good running back in senior Akeem Hunt, but the wins for Purdue this season have come against Western Michigan, Southern Illinois and Illinois. Not exactly the class of college football.

It will be good for MSU to go on the road, as they’re going to have to face a tougher road challenge down the road in all likelihood.

Logistically, road games are obviously different, and it will be good for MSU to experience that for the first time since the loss to Oregon.

I have this one going the way many people do. I think MSU comes out early and often and we see a good dose of Damion Terry and Tyler O’Connor. If MSU remembers to take the helmets and pads down from East Lansing, they should cruise through this one.

Face time with comedian Lewis Black Lewis Black will be performing at Wharton Center on Oct. 12 for his latest tour, “The Rant is Due.” The State News got to chat with him before his show.

By Ian Martin imartin@statenews.com

SN: Why did you want to come to East Lansing? Why not Detroit or Grand Rapids?

LB: I’ll go back to Detroit and Grand Rapids, I did the Comedy Festival there. I mean, I’ve been all over, so I think it’s for a good time and because Michigan State University is there and because they asked me to come there. So, it’s not tough to just get me to show up, it’s just you have to ask me.

SN: So you’ve been touring for a long time now and you’re currently on your “The Rant is Due” tour.

What should people at MSU

and in the East Lansing area be looking forward to for this performance at the Wharton Center?

LB: Well, for the last 10 to 15 minutes of the act I give the audience at the beginning of the show questions and instructions on how to ask me questions to their phone. They can comment or say anything they want or talk about something that’s going on there and the last 15 minutes of the show is totally predicated by the audience.

SN: Is that what you would say is different about this show compared your past material?

LB: Yeah, I mean it’s an act, essentially. … Basically, it’s about

how stupid gets stupider.

SN: Speaking of stupid, what life advice would you give to MSU students to succeed in today’s world?

LB: The most important thing is you pursue what it is that you want to do. That’s the most important.

If you’re going pursue money you’re going to end up miserable. … There’s a difference between going home at the end of a day making whatever amount of money you want and you don’t really like spending the 8 hours doing it, and spending 12 hours doing something you love, when you don’t make anything. It’s vital.

Most people are miserable because they don’t really like

what they’re doing. It really has to go, I want to do this, I’m going to pursue it, and if you pursue what it is you want to do, you’ll end up doing something you like doing....It’s not your parents’ life.

It’s your life. Just because they pay for your education, they don’t buy life. Your parents don’t have to lead your life. You do.

A lot of the times you get that whole thing where your dad will get that whole set of panic, sitting in a room like what are you going to do? How are you going to make money? That’s the last thing that should be on somebody’s mind.

You make enough money to get by and that should be the only thing that concerns you when you’re young. Jesus, it’s just such bullshit. And use that time, because

you know, you never get it again.

You can’t go back and say oh, well you know what I really wanted to do? Well, you’re an idiot!

SN: What was your college experience like? Do you have any good stories to share?

LB: I went to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, so it was phenomenal. It was 24 hours of partying and 24 hours of studying and you could kind of go back and forth. So once you finished your studying, you’d think oh, there was always somebody who was going to have fun.

It was a good time to go to school, it was the late ‘60s, so we had kind of a remarkable period of time there.

Good Eats Mexican restaurants in East Lansing serve up burritos, tacos to customers’ tastes

Moe’s Southwest Grill “They have the best queso here. I’m obsessed with it.” — Cassidy Nieves, advertising freshman Students across MSU’s campus love a good burrito, and with Moe’s Southwest Grill, it’s hard to go wrong. There are dozens of burrito options to choose from, such as the famous Chili Con Queso and The Homewrecker, but you can also personalize. Plus, every order comes with free chips and salsa, and there are smaller portion options as well.

Chipotle “It’s a great value. You get so much food for just a few dollars. Plus, if you order the right way, you can be healthy with it, too.” — David Foreman, supply chain management senior As one of the original fast-casual Mexican restaurants, Chipotle is a classic. Customers go down a line, picking out the best and freshest ingredients for their massive burritos or burrito bowls. Located right on Grand River Avenue, Chipotle draws MSU students for an

El Azteco “Ever ything always taste so good. I love coming here, it feels really authentic.” — Becca Tresnak, arts and humanities freshman Students who are looking for a bit more of an authentic Mexican experience tend to lean toward El Azteco. The restaurant features other items such as trays of nachos, tostadas, huevos rancheros and other Mexican staples, though they said those items are significantly pricier.

Los Tres Amigos “It’s really authentic and traditional. The atmosphere is friendly and I loved the decorations that added to the Mexican theme.”

— Ashley Smith, arts and humanities freshman For MSU students, Los Tres Amigos is a draw becuase of their gigantic eight-page menu, the options are seemingly endless. From large burritos to sizzling fajita platters, there are a range of options to cure Mexican cravings.

They also offer large specialty plates and vegetarian-friendly options.

The Garten Haus apartments on Gunson and Beech streets will not be available to lease for the 2015-2016 school year, because the cottage-style apartments are slated for replacement with five, three-story apartment buildings.

DTN Management Company has plans to demolish the apartments, replacing them with the three-story buildings which will house 21 one- and two-bedroom apartments.

DTN’s chief construction officer Allen Russell said great care was taken to ensure the new buildings would fit into the neighborhood.

Russell said their architect, Studio Design, observed the neighborhood to determine how the new buildings would best blend in. Once a general plan was created, DTN held neighborhood meetings to raise support and get feedback.

Russell said the finished apartments will have stonework, details on the walks to pick up some of the neighborhood style, and parking underneath the building to avoid an aesthetically displeasing parking lot.

As a result of the neighborhood collaboration, Russell said the plans were did not face much opposition.

“We’re pleased to have the support that we received,” he said.

East Lansing Council meeting minutes show that DTN began plans for reconstruction in 2012, but their proposal was initially denied by the East Lansing Planning and Community Development Council.

Timothy Schmitt, East Lansing community development analyst, said the plans were denied because DTN wanted to change the property from a low-density residence to a high-density, university-oriented residence, which wasn’t permitted under the city’s zoning.

“It wasn’t appropriate for the neighborhood...it would have stuck out like a sore thumb,” Schmitt said.

DTN then decided to redevelop the property under the zoning they had in place. After two years of reworking the proposal, DTN once again presented the reconstruction plans to the council. The proposal was unanimously approved in May 2014.

“We were determined to move forward with the redevelopment of the site because we knew the buildings were outdated,” Russell said.

Hospitality business senior Emilie Daubenspeck, who lives in Garten Haus, agrees that the apartments need updating. She said the bathroom is tiny, the plumbing is old and a lot of the outlets aren’t grounded.

However, Daubenspeck said she loved the unique style of the apartments.

“They’re quirky and quaint,” she said.

Kevin Clark, another resident of the apartments, said he enjoys living there in large part because the apartments are dog-friendly.

He said the worst part of the apartments is not having a dishwasher.

Construction will begin for the new apartments in spring of next year.

By Olivia Dimmer odimmer@statenews.com

The third and final teen charged in the death of MSU sophomore Dustyn Frolka pleaded guilty to first-degree murder Wednesday in Clinton County Circuit Court, after not accepting plea deals since he was charged with the death in February.

Brendan Heim, who was 16 at the time of the attack, admitted in court Wednesday that the plan to rob Frolka was hatched the night before, The Lansing State Journal reported.

After jumping from a car containing Heim and two other suspects, Frolka was found partially clothed and in respira-

tory distress on I-69 at about 10:30 p.m. on Feb. 15 near the East Lansing ramp.

He sustained multiple injuries from the beating he received from Heim and his accomplices, and was later transported to Lansing’s Sparrow Hospital, where he died shortly after.

Two of the other suspects in the death, Samantha Grigg and Tyrel Bredernitz, already accepted plea deals.

Grigg pleaded guilty to manslaughter and unarmed robbery in June and will serve between six and 15 years in prison.

Bredernitz still awaits sentencing.

As part of the plea deal, Heim will serve 32 1/2 to 60 years in prison. He is scheduled to appear for sentencing Nov. 24.

In club hockey, brotherhood fostered on ice Although the players in the MSU Men’s Club Hockey team may not have the support of the athletics department, that doesn’t stop the players from practicing up to six days a week and traveling across the country to challenge other club teams.

Kinesiology junior Mike Albosta plays during the Hockey Club Green and White game on Sept.

26 at Munn Ice Arena.

Albosta started playing hockey when he was about 5.

National championship.

That’s the vision. That’s the goal. That’s what MSU Men’s Club Hockey competes for. It’s what kinesiology junior Mike Albosta competes for.

“We need to be working hard day in and day out,” Albosta said. “It’s not kind of a whenyou-have-time sort of thing.

We’re skating five, six days a week.”

For A lbosta, hockey has been with him since he was 5 years old. When he graduated high school, he didn’t want his hockey career to end, so he tried out for Club Hockey and made the team.

Skates scraped across the ice as words of encouragement and a slew of expletives blasted from the team bench.

“Let’s go!”

“Hit him!”

“Shoot it!”

The boys get into it. They’re teammates, friends and for A lbosta, these people are brothers.

“It’s unlike any team I’ve played for before,” Albosta said. “Being here, everybody has this sense of brotherhood.”

For the past 21 years, Spartans with sparse shelves have been sustained by cans of soup and boxes of cereal — and donors.

The MSU Student Food Bank, the first food bank in the country run by students for students, has been fully funded by those donations.

Nate Smith-Tyge, the MSU Student Food Bank director, said the food bank receives $40,000 to $50,000 each year, and all of the money goes directly to purchasing food.

Smith-Tyge said they don’t have to worry about extra costs because they have support from MSU. He said Olin Health Center, for one, gives the food bank space for distributions, and doesn’t charge for rent or utilities they would have to pay elsewhere.

Those savings translate to more food for the MSU community.

“We try to cut grocery bills in half or more,” Smith-Tyge said.

“The food a student receives is based on how many are in their household. There is no real dollar amount.”

For example, a graduate student with a family will receive more food than a single student who just needs food for him or herself.

“We play an important role for making sure students can stay in school and balance their lives with work and family too,” SmithTyge said. “We relieve a stressor in people’s lives, so they can focus on the things that make them successful.”

The food bank distributes biweekly on Wednesdays from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the Olin Health Center dining room, located at the building’s west entrance.

Sports Volleyball will resume Big Ten play against Nebraska, Iowa this weekend The Spartans can use this weekend to regain ground in the conference race

presents

The volleyball team will try and replicate the success the football team had against Nebraska last weekend.

MSU (9-6 overall, 2-2 Big Ten) welcomes No. 8 Nebraska (9-4 overall, 3-1 Big Ten) to Jenison Field House on Friday night for the second game of their three-game homestand.

The Cornhuskers lost to Ohio State in five sets last Saturday but did defeat then-ranked No. 3 Penn State 3-1 the night before.

“It’s going to be definitely a test for us,” freshman defensive specialist Abby Monson said. “I’m 100 percent sure that we can do it.”

Nebraska has given MSU trouble over the last couple of seasons, owning a 4-2 record over the Spartans since they joined the conference in 2011.

“Nebraska’s always a powerhouse in the Big Ten,” senior libero and co-captain Kori Moster said.

Moster averages 4.57 digs per set, which is good for third in the Big Ten conference.

Her defensive acumen will come in handy against Nebraska’s sophomore outside hitters Amber and Kadie Rolfzen, who are twins.

Kadie Rolfzen leads the team with 163 kills and a .262 hit-

t i ng p e r c e nt a ge . A mb e r Rolfzen ranks second, behind her sister, with 99 kills.

On Sat urday night, t he Spartans will play host to Iowa (8-7 overall, 0-4 Big Ten), who has lost to MSU nine straight times.

The Hawkeyes are also on a five- match losing streak.

“Iowa has a new coach but a returning cast, he’s changed their system up a little,” Head coach Cathy George said. “They’re running a fast, up-tempo game.”

First year Hawkeyes head coach, Bond Shymansky is not only in search of his first Big Ten conference win of the season but also has yet to win a set in conference play.

Senior outside hitter Alex Lovell is a player to watch for the Hawkeyes. Lovell leads the team with 155 kills and 3.37 kills per set.

First serve will be at 8 p.m. on Friday, the game will air live on the Big Ten Network.

Saturday’s game begins at 7 p.m.

Friday’s game at Jenison Field House will be an MSU Federal Credit Union game, where credit union members get two free tickets for the game against Nebraska.

On Saturday, the Spartans will wear pink jerseys as part of their annual breast cancer awareness game.

Swimming outside in Michigan’s mid-October weather may not sound pleasant, but for the swimming and diving team, this weekend’s meet will build plenty of memories, according to head coach Matt Gianiodis.

MSU will welcome Denison and Grand Valley on Saturday to compete at the IM West outdoor pool, beginning at 2 p.m. For the MSU men and Denison, this will be the start of their season.

The women traveled to Indianapolis to compete against Notre Dame last Friday, where they were defeated 182-118. MSU finished with five event victories.

“It was a very difficult deal — going down the day of and getting off the bus and trying to perform is hard,” Gianiodis said. “I wish we were a little more competitive in some of those events, which I thought we could have been, but we are shaking off the rust.”

Senior Becca Berman took the first MSU victory of the day during the 1000-yard freestyle with a final time of 10:22.76, followed by junior Chelsea Abbott in second (10:30.57).

FRI day, octoBER 1 0, 2 01 4

Berman dominated the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:08.23, followed by freshman Haley Kornburger in second, finishing at 5:09.77. Senior Hannah Pugh finished behind Bridger Casey of Notre Dame in fourth place (5:10.67).

Sophomore Sarah Love finished first in the 100-yard butterfly at 56:74.

Junior Elizabeth Brown finished first in the 200-yard IM (2:11.20) and freshman Mia Baric in third (2:13.68).

MSU took first and second in the 400yard freestyle relay. Senior Shelby Lacy, sophomore Kennedy Cutler, junior Emily Parsons and freshman Racheal Bukowski finished first at 3:37.16, followed by Love, senior Taylor Folkertsma, junior Betsy Good and freshman Macy Moore in second (3:41.29).

“Across the board, we need to improve on realizing it’s a race, that it’s not practice anymore, and you have to step your game up,” Gianiodis said. “I thought we lost our competitive focus a couple of times because everything was happening so quick.”

MSU prepares to host the exhibition style, outdoor meet this Saturday. Gianiodis thinks this will be a beneficial way for the men to start their season because it

is at home and since it is a more relaxed meet.

“The biggest thing is adjusting to the weather because it is going to be chilly outside,” Gianiodis said. “I would say, just getting used to a college dual meet, especially for our younger kids and the men who haven’t had one yet.”

Denison and Grand Valley will be tough competition, even though they are Division II and III schools. Grand Valley’s men’s team defeated Michigan State last year at home and Denison was a national champion. MSU will use this meet to showcase their outdoor pool, since there are few schools in the country that have this facility available on campus. Even though it will be cold, Gianiodis thinks this meet will be one for the books.

“Well, you’re at home and you have the opportunity to do something unique. I would say it’s kind of a memory maker — especially when it’s cold out. This early on in the season, it’s about trying to get better but having a memory and event like this is kind of fun,” Gianiodis said. “Having an outdoor meet in Michigan in October is very unique, and unique to us. We will embrace it and try to have fun.”

Women’s soccer will take on Purdue Saturday By john Neidhart jneidhart@statenews.com

MSU has a chance to keep the wheels rolling this weekend, and after a six day break, the Spartans will visit West Lafayette, Ind., for a Saturday night game against Purdue.

MSU (7-5-1 overall, 1-5-1 Big Ten) should be dialed up and ready to go against the Boilermakers (6-7-1 overall, 2-6 Big Ten). Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m., and head coach Tom Saxton expects an exciting atmosphere.

“We haven’t been to Purdue’s rebuilt facility, it’s pretty cool I guess,” Saxton said. “We’ll be under the lights, following the football game. They usually have quite a ruckus student section, with a lot of jabs, kind of like what we saw in Ann

Arbor. We’ll be ready for a fast-paced high-intensity game.”

The Spartans are coming off their first conference victory over Nebraska, and the team is hoping to improve its resume with a win Saturday.

“We know we need to keep winning to move higher up in the standings,” freshman forward Jamie Cheslik said. “I think we’re all pretty confident that we can do it. We’ve been working hard at practice and working as a team.”

Last weekend’s victory was greatly influenced by the team’s focus heading into the game. The Spartans came out prepared for the game with high intensity.

“What really worked Sunday was that we came out in our warm-ups dedicated and ready to play,” junior defender Alexandra Gjonaj said. “That

changed the game at the beginning.”

Saxton agrees, and believes that his team needs to stay calm if it hopes to succeed Saturday night.

“We need to stay loose and relaxed,” Saxton said.

“Nebraska was one of the best pregames we’ve had here in a couple years. This team’s personality suits more of a low-key, happy-go-lucky attitude, and we’re going to try and stick with that regardless of what the previous game looked like.”

Purdue appears beatable at this point in the year, and in the Big Ten, only Ohio State and Nebraska have given up more goals. With MSU’s offense finding its stride, the Spartans should have plenty of chances to score.

“Purdue has given up a lot of goals, although they are a dangerous team themselves.” Saxton said. “From the scouts and the film work we’ve

done, if we can get some pressure on their back line, we should get our chances. Like we did finally on Sunday, we’ve got to put them away.”

Cheslik has been an impact player in almost every game this year, and she will take the Big Ten Freshman of the Week title into the game on Saturday.

Cheslik earned the weekly honor after recording a goal and an assist against Nebraska last weekend. She currently leads the team with seven goals and 16 points.

Purdue’s offense is led by sophomore forward Maddy Williams, whose five goals and 15 points are best on the team. Saxton has noted that he isn’t worried about keying on one Boilermaker in particular, but he is more concerned about solving Purdue’s team pressure.
