With one slip onstage, Ruth Fisk ended her modern dancing career with a sprained neck.

Kalli Halpern likes to draw customers into her art gallery with an array of color in the window. Her medium of choice? Greeting cards.
Spring semester tuition: about $6,000-$9,000. Knowing exactly how the university is using those precious dollars: priceless.

What a difference a year makes. Or, in the case of the annual State of the University address, doesn’t make. MSU President Lou Anna K.

While East Lansing’s four garages average 59 percent occupancy, Jim van Ravensway, East Lansing’s director of Planning and Community Development, said the ramps would be unable to effectively cater to the residents, shoppers and workers the city hopes to lure to the area through the $117 million City Center II development.
