The Residence Halls Association, or RHA, is seeking public comment about its proposed tax increase at its Wednesday meeting. RHA officials are asking that students voice their opinions on whether the tax increase should be approved at 7:15 p.m.
Members of the Residence Halls Association are taking a proactive step toward making sure the April 2-3 disturbances aren't repeated.

RHA should definitely pursue this opportunity and ask for student involvement along the way. Some changes in police procedure could come from the East Lansing City Council, which is considering suggestions received from the independent commission which reviewed the events.

Kolt, an MSU instructor, and about 20 members of the Department of Advertising, Public Relations and Retailing met to grade the Super Bowl advertisements during Sunday's game.
