Where is the student support for the MSU women's basketball team? Not to insult the few students that do attend these games, but it is baffling to me that a top 10 team battling for the Big Ten title draws such minimal interest from a student body of more than 40,000 people. The atmosphere is fantastic with the band and cheerleaders; the team is hard-working, improving every game (and year), and the cost of tickets is minimal.
After her first week as MSU's 20th president, Lou Anna Simon said a good assessment of her administration would come after her first month in office. Now that the time has come, Simon says her presidency has gone relatively smoothly in the first month. "I've been working hard to look at Michigan State through fresh eyes, and to see Michigan State through a fresh perspective," she said. Something Simon didn't anticipate when taking over MSU's top role was the struggle between her personal and professional lives among those who have known her for years, she said. Colleagues were used to addressing her as "Lou Anna," and now have a hard time adjusting to her formal title of President Simon. "There's President Simon and then there's Lou Anna with a new job," Simon said.

Two projects that would change the way motorists drive and park on campus are among the issues to be discussed at Thursday's MSU Board of Trustees meeting. A redesign of the intersection near Sparty and the construction of a parking ramp near Morrill Hall with access from Grand River Avenue are both part of the university's 2020 Vision plan. The plan is a way for university officials to outline and expand the growth of MSU by the year 2020. The parking structure near Morrill Hall was identified as needed to reduce a deficit of parking on north campus, said Jeff Kacos, director of Campus Planning and Administration. The ramp is expected to add about 525 parking spaces and will be designed to look similar to the existing buildings in the area, Kacos said. Because this is the first time Trustee Melanie Foster has seen the plan, she said she has some questions and concerns about the ramp. "I have fresh eyes," Foster said.

The proposed ban of open alcohol on campus could be decided soon by MSU officials, with input from the city of East Lansing. A decision on whether to approve the ban will be made at Thursday's MSU Board of Trustees meeting, and its potential ramifications were discussed by the East Lansing City Council at its Tuesday work session. Some councilmembers were concerned the ban would drive tailgaters away from campus and into the city. "It could push people out into the streets," said Sam Singh, East Lansing's mayor pro tem.
