Students aren't the only ones who use Weblogs anymore. Now, university administrators are jumping on board. MSU President Lou Anna Simon created a blog on her university Web page, which will allow her to communicate with students and the rest of the MSU community and allow for feedback via e-mail. "We do know that students are using this type of technology, as are others around the country, and we thought we'd try it and see how it worked," Simon said. The blog is a way to increase discussion before major university decisions are made, Simon said. Blogs such as LiveJournal and Thefacebook have recently taken college campuses by storm, allowing their users to post information and photographs.

Due to a misunderstanding between ASMSU and its constituents, more than 50 minority students protested against the student government Wednesday night. Students held signs that read "What would 'U' know about being a Minority," "No Taxation without Representation." Minority student groups from across campus decided to protest after several students received an e-mail from a Student Assembly representative that stated ASMSU officials were in the process of changing the group's constitution and were discussing removing minority representatives from the assembly. Last semester, ASMSU discussed combining its Student and Academic assemblies to form one governing body - or a unicameral system. Currently, the group runs on a bicameral system where the Student Assembly oversees student life issues, while the Academic Assembly discusses academic issues such as course structures and faculty issues. During last semester's discussion, Brian Forest, a College of Arts & Letters representative, drafted a new constitution to make the assembly unicameral.
