Hubbard Dining Hall to close, transition to special events dining hall

After Oct. 6, Hubbard Dining Hall will be switching over to special events only dining. After “The Edge” at Akers Hall was opened, Hubbard Hall didn’t see as many students as it used to. “Once we opened Akers—brand new, bigger operation, air conditioned—of the over a thousand residents in Hubbard, we feed less than 200 each meal in Hubbard; they all go to Akers,” Matt McKune, associate director for residential dining, said.

Safe Night Club will walk you home

Although no messages were likely to come in, for any who may have needed them, they waited. The MSU Safe Night Club, founded last November, is the collective effort of four students to fill a perceived need in the community: a service to walk students home on the weekends, wherever on campus that may be, should they feel unsafe at night.
