Presidents from Michigan's 15 universities say they are scrambling not to overprice a college degree for prospective students, while the state sends less money to the schools each year. The presidents are gathering for the first-ever State of the Public Universities Address to put out a unified message today to remind residents of the value of higher education. Wayne State University President Irvin Reid is expected to call for the state to renew its commitment to higher education that "is on the fringes or at the crossroads." An average of 10 percent of state appropriations have been chopped in the past two years, and another round of cuts are expected as the state faces a $920 million deficit in this year's budget.

If the popularity of Lansing's Capital City Airport in past months is any indication, Michigan's economy is improving, experts say.The airport experienced a 20.4-percent increase in passengers in October compared to the same time last year, making the month the busiest the airport has seen since March 2001.The landmark travel volume in October is at the tail of four consecutive months of passenger increases, Capital Region Airport Authority Executive Director Robert Selig said.Selig said the increased business coming into the airport is the result of several factors, including increased advertising, lower fares and the addition of a new airline, Allegiant Air, which provides several weekly nonstop flights to Las Vegas.The improvements attract area residents to fly out of Lansing as opposed to driving to larger airports such as the Detroit Metro Airport or the Gerald R.
Just days before hunters around the state will take to the woods to begin firearm season, one deer made a pre-emptive strike on MSU's campus. A back door in Owen Graduate Hall's northwest corner was destroyed early Tuesday afternoon when a buck smashed through it, leaving broken glass and pools of blood. The deer jumped over the door's opening lever and climbed seven stairs to the another landing before jumping out the door and escaping from the scene, said hall manager Ron Smith. "I've been here a long time, and I've never seen anything like this," said Smith, who noted that he's spotted deer in the wooded area behind the graduate hall on two separate occasions. Replacing the door cost about $500, and the work was completed by Tuesday afternoon, he said. Computational mathematics junior Jason Hunt was walking by the graduate hall on his way to class when the incident occurred. "I heard a bunch of girls screaming, and I saw them pointing at the door," he said. When he approached the scene, the deer was on its way out, running north through a ring of more than 20 people that had gathered in front of the door, he said. "There was lots of blood - pools of blood," said Hunt, who moved broken glass out of the walkway.
