Students march on Capitol to advocate for numerous issues, one arrested

Elementary students on their capitol tours stood two floors above about 200 Michigan Student Power Network members in Michigan’s Capitol as they chanted, “this is what democracy looks like.” Student activists from around the state converged on the capitol this morning to present a list of demands for a more progressive state, and to show politicians that young people do care about the future of Michigan. “We’re here to show solidarity with students in Michigan and to show that we care about the environment and how people are treated,” Central Michigan University senior Vince Roncelli said.

MSU baseball finds offense against Central Michigan

By Matthew Argillander margillander@statenews.com The men's baseball team has struggled to find offensive consistency in their young season but if the game against Central Michigan on Tuesday is any indication of what is to come the team may of found a 'home-remedy'. In the Spartans first home game of the year the offense got out to a hot start scoring three runs in the first and they never looked back en route to an 8-3 win over the Chippewas. Senior catcher and first baseman Blaise Salter who had two RBI's in the game said that the team needed this performance after struggling to get the offense going as of late. "We came out to a hot start with the first inning hitting, we needed that we kind of struggled a bit," Salter said.
