Semana Latina is a week of Latin-related events organized to expose MSU students to the culture. Culturas de la Razas Unidas, or CRU, prepared the week of Latino-enriched cultural events, from film discussions to dance lessons.
Hope and change, that’s what I felt last Tuesday night. Not just meager change, like bringing most of our troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan, but a monumental decision by the people of the United States.

They were everywhere on campus. In the final weeks leading up to the election, avoiding somebody decked out in Barack Obama apparel was about as easy as finding an on-campus parking spot. Voter registration tables crowded the area by the Wells Hall bridge, forming a swarming blanket of politically active students that turned the grass underneath their feet brown just by standing there for so long.
On a warm November evening last week, senior offensive linemen Jesse Miller and Roland Martin were enjoying one of their last off days as MSU football players.
