The controversial 40-acre complex proposal got a 4-1 vote in Tuesday night's council meeting held in the MSU Union. Developer Pat Gillespie, of Gillespie Development & Management, said his company should be breaking ground on the project by May or June.

The Beaumont will be known as an "alumni village" and will be geared toward MSU alumni, young professionals and empty-nesters, rather than students. The accepted proposal was the 24th version of the complex, which was revised in response to resident and councilmember concerns.
It's really easy to get stuck in a certain frame of mind, especially when it comes to music. It's comfortable and it's effortless - but it's also na?ve. If I hadn't opened my ears and my mind in middle school, I'd still be listening to Bob Seger and Rod Stewart exclusively, maybe even with a side of Toni Braxton.

An MSU alumnus is once again caught in the reality television spotlight. Jason Curis, 24, graduated with a degree in advertising in 2001 and was in the running with 15 other businessmen and women for a year-long position at one of Donald Trump's companies on NBC's "The Apprentice."

As a young entrepreneur, Curis already owns his own property-management company, JMG Management, with which he holds more than 39 properties. "I learned, first of all, do what you love to do," Curis said with confidence.
