Election deadline, concert approach

February 28, 2007

MSU organizations and the city of East Lansing are baiting students to do community service with the reward of a free concert by a mystery artist.

After approximately a year and more than 100 hours of planning, ASMSU, the Residence Halls Association, MSU and the city will sponsor the Volunteer To Rock concert on April 11 at Wharton Center.

The concert will be a reward for students who perform 10 hours of community service.

"Everyone thinks MSU is a party school but no one realizes that more than 10,000 students do community service and this would be a great way to celebrate community service," said Cynthia Chang, ASMSU's assistant director of governmental affairs for the city. ASMSU is MSU's undergraduate student government.

ASMSU is still negotiating with an artist, but hopes to sign the artist by next week, Chang said. The performer will remain undisclosed until two weeks before the concert.

Chang expects to invite 4,000-5,000 people, but only the first 2,000 in attendance will be admitted.
