Kurtis Drummond is primed for something of a homecoming this weekend.
A bill passed Thursday evening at an ASMSU committee meeting to allow the undergraduate student government to advocate for flexible housing for freshmen.

That’s the goal,” social relations and policy sophomore Colin Wiebrecht said.
After her mother enrolled her in for surprise guitar lessons in sixth grade, English sophomore Stefanie Haapala decided it was a hobby she wanted to stick with.

Ryan Miller was born a Spartan, and now he’s being enshrined as one as well. Miller, along with four other former Spartan athletes, will join the ranks of MSU’s Athletics Hall of Fame as the 2013 class.
Rain or shine, the Spartan fraternities and sororities held their ground. Despite Mother Nature’s temporary rain storm, the Go Greek! BBQ brought in hundreds of students who were interested in entering MSU’s greek system. To keep things a welcoming and neutral environment, students who already are members of the greek system wore a uniform green MSU greek shirt so new and interested students could get a feel of the entire organization, not keying in on specific sororities and fraternities.

A pilot program conducted by university officials has students living in Brody and North neighborhoods entering their residence halls after midnight without night receptionists checking them in.

As the forefather of MSU’s most well-known football lineage, Henry Bullough rarely mentioned the gridiron as he answered questions Thursday before being formally inducted to MSU’s Athletics Hall of Fame.

Entering the final weekend before Big Ten play, the women’s soccer team will look to maintain their unbeaten record against a pair of Mid-American Conference teams.

A week after a 2-0 weekend homestand, the volleyball team (5-1 overall) will hit the road to Indianapolis as they take on IPWF, Illinois State and Butler at the Butler Invitational. Illinois State in particular will be an interesting matchup. Besides MSU having a 5-8 series record against the Red Birds, head coach Cathy George is a 1985 Illinois State graduate.

A city proposal that would set a patron cap on downtown establishments serving alcohol past midnight and prevent any new businesses of a similar type from opening was unanimously deferred from consideration Wednesday night. The East Lansing Planning Commission, which deferred the vote until an unspecified date, cited concerns about the enormity of change the proposal would usher. Current establishments closing and stifling new businesses from opening were among those concerns voiced, and for good reason.
I read something the other day that was a little troubling to me, but nonetheless spot on. The student section in Spartan Stadium sucks.
It has been three weeks since the start of semester, and it’s about the time students are finally getting settled into new courses and getting to know their professors.
Earning tenure takes a long time — so does losing it.
A city proposal that would effectively prevent the development of future bars downtown is on the backburner for the time being.
