In the fall of 1999, Melissa Affholter received her first and only assignment in an urban planning class. The semester-long project called upon urban and regional planning students like Affholter to examine the land use and social make-up of the Cedar Village area. After 15 weeks of gathering information, interviewing and planning, she presented her findings to local officials, completed the course and continued with her urban planning education. Five years later, Affholter said she is surprised that pieces of her vision are being considered for a possible revamp of the area. "We never thought it would become a reality," she said.

As a white, heterosexual woman, Jennifer Parks said she is not the typical image of an AIDS patient, but the 50-year-old Holt resident has been battling the disease since 1989. "It took me a long time to sort all of this out and understand I didn't get AIDS because I deserved it, but because I didn't take precautions as a young woman," Parks said. Parks was infected by her second husband who participated in risky activities that were unknown to her, she said. She now speaks at community events, such as today's World AIDS Day observance at the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road, to educate the public about the causes and effects of AIDS. In 2003, about 3 million people died from AIDS or complications from the illness.

For better or worse, many first-year students are paired by university housing officials before they come to MSU's residence halls. But ASMSU is arguing that in some cases, it's for the worst, and will propose a system to match freshmen with similar characteristics. MSU's undergraduate student government passed a bill about two weeks ago that suggested surveying residents about their sleep patterns, study habits, noisiness and drinking habits. "I was sitting in my room and my roommate and I weren't getting along, and it hit me," said Aaron Sobel, a representative for the College of Business who created the bill.
