The changing face of a college town
East Lansing is a changing city. Through the use of an ordinance restricting rentals and several redevelopment projects, community leaders hope to find a balance between permanent residents and renters. In a place where rental housing outnumbers its owner-occupied counterpart by more than 5,000 units, some have begun to worry that the city is turning from a mixed community into a haven for renters. "The owner-occupied housing is critical in the sense of community," said Tim Dempsey, an East Lansing community and economic development administrator.

MSU instructor: Hunter S. Thompson 'will never be replaced'
Hunter S. Thompson, the hard-living writer who inserted himself into his accounts of America's underbelly and popularized a first-person form of journalism in books such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," has committed suicide. Thompson, 67, was found dead Sunday in his Aspen-area home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, sheriff's officials said. Thompson is credited alongside Tom Wolfe and Gay Talese with helping pioneer New Journalism - or, as he dubbed it, "gonzo journalism" - in which the writer made himself a component of the story. Bill McWhirter, MSU School of Journalism's editor in residence, spent time with Thompson when they both covered the end of the Vietnam War.
