What has become an iconic landmark at MSU will go missing this summer from the Shaw Lane skyline. MSU administrators decided to move forward with plans to dismantle the MSC smokestack, but demolition crews will save as many of the white bricks that make up the letters as possible, university spokesman Kent Cassella said. “We’re going to save them until the appropriate commemoration opportunity presents itself,” he said.
