A new door has opened in the ongoing dispute between police and students over the April 2-3 disturbances. Although not as powerful a reaction as could be hoped for, the East Lansing City Council's decision to create an independent review commission to hear testimony about the disturbances is, at least, one prospect to uncover the police's unnecessary action.

With signs to reduce, reuse and recycle, members of campus environmental groups said they will try to remind students of some things they might have forgotten from elementary school. Both the Residential Initiative on the Study of the Environment, or RISE, and Eco will join forces at the rock on Farm Lane today to celebrate Earth Day.

The campus needs a facility to sort and bail recycled material, rather than having to pay to send it off campus, Rangarajan said.
