Next to the elaborate and expensive parties held for Super Bowl XL Sunday in Detroit, a quieter event was held for the city's homeless. Sponsored by Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, the event attracted a portion of Detroit's estimated 13,000 homeless people.

Members of the Residence Halls Association are taking a proactive step toward making sure the April 2-3 disturbances aren't repeated. Members of RHA were invited to meet with MSU police to answer questions they might have about future disturbances and how to prevent another one — especially in March and April during college basketball finals.

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.
