Faces watched out the windows of the Administration Building as a screeching megaphone and the shouts of more than 150 protesters shattered the usual campus sounds on Wednesday afternoon. The commotion was made by graduate employees, their families and their allies lobbying for better health care coverage at the Health Care Horrors Rally, held by the Graduate Employees Union. “We’re outside here for a damn good reason,” said Duncan Woodhead, a history graduate student who served as master of ceremonies for the rally.

The recent agreement between the University of North Carolina and Nike over athletic apparel is a remarkable and positive move toward improving labor rights.There has been a long history of Nike’s apparel manufacturing factories in countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia exploiting workers with poor conditions and substandard wages.North Carolina’s eight-year, $28.34 million agreement with Nike requires the company to expand the Fair Labor Association’s monitoring program and to disclose the locations of the plants where game uniforms are manufactured.

An end has been found to the divisive issue of annexation that has brewed between Meridian Township and the city of East Lansing for months.Despite an occasional lapse into name-calling by citizens and trustees of Meridian Township Monday night, the board voted 7-2 in favor of adopting the annexation papers and an urban cooperation agreement.The agreement will allow the township to maintain some control over the property, the management of the area and its growth for the next 34 years.The annexation of 66 acres of Meridian Township on the corner of Park Lake Road and Saginaw Highway originally came up in August.
As this year comes to a close, it is not a surprise possible deficits and revenue shortages are looming - at the federal, state and local levels of government.With city council elections on Tuesday, it’s encouraging to see the four East Lansing candidates recognize the importance of watching the city’s money.All indications point to a shrinking budget following the economic slowdown, and it would be unfortunate if the only actions taken are raising fees - such as the $5 increase in city parking fines last year.Charging higher fines and fees doesn’t help city relationships with students, and will lead to fewer people visiting East Lansing’s downtown.Instead, the two candidates who are elected Tuesday, along with the rest of the city council and other officials, will have to think smarter with the budget.

The normally bright, cheerful environment of the Abbot Hall cafeteria was transformed into a spooky place to eat Wednesday night.Students entered through a tunnel guarded by a spider hanging from the ceiling, and were met inside by an alien spaceship, a glowing ghost and a bleeding, headless man.Education senior Sarah Kidd, who dressed as Winnie the Pooh, said she has been working at the hall for four years, and this year’s Halloween decorations have been the best so far.“It’s a great time for all the employees and students to have a good time for the holiday,” Kidd said.Mario Porco, who works at the cafeteria, said he and co-worker Adam Koivisto decided to decorate the cafeteria to put a smile on students’ faces.“After the bad things that happened a month ago, we wanted to do something fun,” Porco said.The cafeteria also showcased pumpkins carved by Abbot residents.
