West Lafayette, Ind. - One injured leader couldn’t stop MSU on Saturday. After losing the first game to Purdue and watching as senior outside hitter Erin Hartley rolled her ankle and took a seat, things looked grim for the Spartans (10-3, 3-3 Big Ten).

Top-ranked MSU and archrival No. 4 Michigan helped break a world record Saturday night, but 65 minutes of hockey was not enough to break the 3-3 tie the teams skated to in “The Cold War” at Spartan Stadium.U-M center Mike Cammalleri notched two goals and an assist, and it looked like that would be enough to propel the Wolverines (0-0-1 overall, 0-0-1 CCHA) to victory on hostile turf.But MSU freshman center Jim Slater electrified the partisan Spartan crowd with a last-minute goal - his first as a collegian - that sent the game to overtime.Both teams threatened but couldn’t score in the extra frame, bringing about a somewhat anticlimactic ending to a highly hyped event.

Almost 100 percent of the wild honeybees in America have been eliminated, causing a huge effect on many farms across the nation that use the bees to pollinate crops.Apples, peaches, cherries and blueberries are among those crops that receive pollination from honeybees.The culprits of the bee termination are two mites, the varroa and tracheal, that attack the bees within colonies.To ward off the mites, MSU entomology Professor Zachary Huang created a device called the Spartan Mitezapper, which will help beekeepers control the amount of varroa mites that get into the larvae of drone honeybees.“Basically, it’s a non-chemical way to kill the mites,” Huang said.

Two things were expected going into “The Cold War” on Saturday at Spartan Stadium - it would be big and the game would be a close one.After 74,554 MSU and Michigan fans spilled into the stadium’s stands and aisles, easily breaking the world record for attendance at a hockey game, that much came true.And after overtime ended with a 3-3 tie, most of those fans gathered their blankets and hats and walked down the ramps to the concourse without a second thought that a game between two top-five teams should have ended any differently.But it was unexpected factors - the crowd, the noise, the pregame hoopla, the lighting, the cold, the board and ice conditions - that made the night one the Spartan players and fans said they won’t soon forget.“As soon as we walked out and everyone in the stands saw us, they just started going nuts,” senior right wing Adam Hall said.

Irving Zane Taran’s retrospective selection of art is enjoying its last exhibit at Hankins Gallery.Taran’s paintings from the 1960s and 1970s are slowly being sold, so when the exhibit ends in mid-November, his early work will be unavailable for display.“We won’t do a show that traverses this much time and space again,” he said.What remains for this exhibition are selections that in 1997 hung in the walls of the Midland Center for the Arts along with a Mark Rothko exhibit.Part of his success, he says, can be attributed to the atmosphere of East Lansing and MSU.“This is my community,” he said.
