Michigan State baseball head coach Jake Boss takes a swing Friday during Drew Stanton’s High 5ive Foundation Annual Golf Outing at Hawk Hollow Golf Course in Bath Township, nn Mich. Proceeds from the charity event went to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network of Sparrow Hospital, and Special Olympics.
Spartan sports celebrities from both past and present gathered at hawk hollow Golf Course Friday to show their support at the Drew Stanton high 5ive Foundation Celebrity Golf Outing and Charity auction. Proceeds from the golf outing and the live and silent auction that followed will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network of Sparrow hospital and Special Olympics of Michigan. “I think this year we’re right around 45 foursomes,” event host and former MSU quarterback Drew Stanton said. “In the past we’ve had goals as far as redoing the teen room at Sparrow hospital ... and then the treatment room the year before. ... we’re going to try to help the Lansing area in particular — their Special Olympics is in need of assistance, and that’s what we’re here for.” Stanton, who has hosted the event for the past six years, said the outing began in Marshall, Mich., eight years ago, but moved to Lansing after three years. Last year, the high 5ive Foundation donated $60,000 to charities. “we wanted to move it to Lansing ... having more resources up here. we wanted to make a bigger impact and try to raise more money,” he said. “By doing that, we’ve continued to grow each year, and it’s provided us the opportunity to give back even more than we could hope for.” head football coach Mark Dantonio said it is very important to him to see his former and
current athletes giving back in such a huge way. “One of our basic goals of our program is to be givers, not takers,” he said. “Once they understand that they can do these type of things, it’s something they’ll be able to do the rest of their lives.” Kaleb Thornhill, Director of Player engagement for the Miami Dolphins and former MSU middle linebacker, said this was his third or fourth year attending the event and he traveled from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to attend. “I think it’s important that you support people in the community who are doing great things, that continue to stay connected in the Lansing area, that continue to give back to the Spartan nation, that continue to impact people that are disadvantaged — that don’t have the resources that we currently have in our lives on a daily basis, that we’re so fortunate to have,” Thornhill said. Kyler elsworth, former MSU linebacker who made the gamewinning stop in the Spartans’ Rose Bowl victory, said he feels that giving back to the community is an athletes’ duty since they are in the limelight. “People look at the football players, basketball players, guys that play in college as larger-than-life figures sometimes,” he said. “If you can use that role to benefit a great cause and bring people out, why not do it?” Former MSU wide receiver Keith Nichol said he believes such notable victories, such as the Rose Bowl, bring more people to events such as the high 5ive Foundation golf outing. “The success of the program is bringing in a lot of good things,” he said.

The City of east Lansing and the east Lansing Rotary Club are seeking volunteers to help build a playground at Patriarche Park, at 1100 alton St., beginning Monday. Organizations and community members will continue working until Thursday. east Lansing Rotary Club President James Bonfiglio said the club initially built a playground at Patriarche Park several years ago. In 2010, the Rotary Club decided to renovate the playground as a way to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. what started as a playground renovation turned into a bigger project. Members of the club planned to tear down the playground and start from scratch because of amounts of arsenic found in the treated lumber. The project’s fundraising committee is still accepting donations. Playground Committee Chair John Saltzgaber said as of last Thursday, the committee is $115,000 short of their $570,000 goal. Director of east Lansing Park, Recreation and arts Staff Tim McCaffrey said the Rotary Club established an additional way to raise funds for the project. The Rotary Club is selling customized brick pavers that will be placed in the entryway of the park. The bricks are available in two sizes: 4 inches by 8 inches for $100 and 8 inches by 8 inches for $150. Bricks can be purchased at a fundraising website through the city. McCaffrey said during the community build, volunteers will install playground equipment and general contractors are currently in the process of constructing a rain garden, which includes an awning that redirects rain flow to water the plants. Bonfiglio said anyone can show up to help with the project, however, registration is preferred. Volunteers can register online at SignUpGenius. “we have 340 individuals who have come and registered online, saying they’re interested in helping out,” Saltzgaber said. Snacks and water will be provided for volunteers, but Saltzgaber recommends bringing gloves and a bottle for water.

Dear Ms. Tracy Boucher, Due to the outstanding reputation of the Los Angeles Times as a leader in the field of newspapers and publication design, I am interested in exploring an internship with your company for the summer of 2015. My name is Haley Kluge, and I am currently a sophomore at Michigan State University pursuing a degree in Journalism with a specialization in visual communications and graphic design. Please consider my application for a summer design intern position as posted on the Society of News Design job bulletin. As a committed employee, student and volunteer, I would be an asset to the Los Angeles Times design team. My knowledge and experience of design with deadline-oriented publication make me a qualified candidate for your summer opening. While my exposure to CCI is limited, I am a fast learner and excited to expand my software repertoire. Designing pages for Michigan State University’s The State News and VIM magazine, I’ve enjoyed working with a variety of different publications. Production of The State News required creating design content, communicating with staff members and overseeing the transition from a broadsheet newspaper to a tabloid format. I was responsible for publications that printed twice weekly, in addition to special editions like welcome week and two freshman orientation editions. I helped spearhead the redesign from a broadsheet to a tabloid format, and helped change the face of the newspaper that had been established for 15 years. During the transition, I assisted in creating the new face of the newspaper, including cleaner design templates and a more cohesive appearance. My time at The State News allowed me to practice designing in a real-life application, as well as with deadlines and in different size mediums. In addition to The State News, I have spent my college career as the assistant art director for VIM fashion magazine. Named one of the top 15 student-run magazines in the country by Style Caster, VIM reaches students through a print publication once a semester, in addition to regular social media interactions. As assistant art director, I led my staff of designers during the layout process, and worked with my director and editor-in-chief to create an appealing and modern product. I am consistently working to better myself as a designer outside of publication work. I am an active member of the Society of News Design chapter at Michigan State, and am planning on attending their conference in Washington D.C. this spring. I work closely with my professors in the School of Journalism as the Memberships and Contests Coordinator for the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association, and enjoy taking a rigorous design class load. In addition, I am also an intern for College Fashionista. My experiences, alongside my passion for excellence and attention to detail would be an asset to your Los Angeles team. I am excited about career opportunities that encompass my love of design and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your consideration and please contact me if you have any questions. Sincerely,
Haley Kluge

Amendments strenghten penalties for rental code violations
By Derek Gartee dgartee@statenews.com The STaTe NewS nn
Landlords in east Lansing now have more clearly defined penalties for violating city rental code per an amendment to the city code passed by the east Lansing City Council on July 8.
C it y of f ic i a l s sa id t he amendments are an attempt to codify the current legal practices, but the amendments also strengthen the existing rental ordinances which have, in some cases, been seen as unconstitutional. The amendments tackle how the city deals with multiple citations. If a person is found
renting without a license, they will receive a fine for each day the property has been illegally rented out. “If you were to just issue a single citation, (landlords) would pay the citation and (continue illegally renting). The profits are so great,” east Lansing City attorney Tom Yeadon said. “In order to cre-
ate a disincentive we created the daily violations.” with the recent amendments, the cit y now fines landlords up to two times the amount they have gained by illegally renting property. If the city is unable to determine the amount gained, the landlord could be charged up to $1,000 per tenant in the
building. “Most of the time people are honest and we can find a lease,” Yeadon said. “Sometimes (landlords and tenants) aren’t honest and we don’t know how much was made.” with this measure in place, some citizens could be fined without charging rent at all, although Yeadon says those
cases are few and far between. “Most people don’t give away their property. It would be an unusual circumstance.” This type of circumstance was recently brought to east Lansing District Court and exposed some issues with the ordinance. See ReNTaLS on page 2 u

Members of the Lansing Police Department respond to a shooting on Monday, at Rite Aid, 3106 E. Saginaw St. The suspect fled on foot after firing shots, killing an employee.
The third National Climate Assessment, released by the Obama administration on May 6, found that climate change is affecting the U.S. Of course, that includes MSU. Julie Winkler, an MSU professor in the department of geography, assisted in developing background documents for the midwest section of the assessment. She said the changes that could affect MSU specifically include the rising temperatures, given that many campus buildings are not air conditioned, and the increased frequency of intense precipitation, which could potentially cause more flooding of the Red Cedar River. Winkler also said that climate change’s effect on agriculture and the economy could have indirect impacts on MSU. The report was created by more than 300 experts, guided by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee and reviewed by the public, federal agencies and a panel of the National Academy of Sciences. It summarizes the current and future impacts of climate change on the United States. T he assessment discusses a l l aspec ts of c li mate change, including such topics as extreme weather, human health, infrastructure, ecosystems and biodiversity, water supply, and agriculture. Bruno Basso, agroecosystem scientist and professor in MSU’s department of Geological Sciences and at the Kellogg Biological Station, said the report is “striking, but not new, as the scientific community is already aware of what is happening and how all these changes will affect our daily life.” Basso shared Winkler’s concerns about climate change’s i nd i rec t ef fec t s. He sa id extreme variability in weather — excessive rains and longer periods of draughts — have substantial effects on agriculture. “The university has always invested in targeting a pool of scientists to look at this problem,” Basso said. “The way the university life works is that the priority is always to be green as much as possible with recycling and being environmentally friendly.” To achieve this, campus planner Stephen Troost said that all decisions made regarding campus organization are based on certain principles.

“Revenge porn” bill would treat nonconsenting online photos as misdemeanors By Michael Kransz mkransz@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn
Two bills introduced in the state Senate on May 1 would, if passed, criminalize “revenge porn,” or the posting of sexually-explicit photos to the internet without the consent of the subject and with the intent to “frighten, intimidate, or harass.” The bipartisan effort, spearheaded by Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, and Sen. Steve Bieda, D-Warren, also criminalizes the refusal to remove
sexually-explicit photos from the Internet unless the subject had signed a release for its posting. The offenses, both posting revenge porn and refusing to take it down, would be treated as misdemeanors, with punishments up to 90 days imprisonment and/or a maximum fine of $500. “You have to get tough enough so people won’t do this activity,” Jones said. “If they’re only risking a fine, then they may go ahead and do it.” Similar state-level legislative efforts have been sweeping
the U.S. Within the past two years, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and 27 states have introduced legislation to specifically combat the posting of revenge porn. Currently, seven states, Arizona, California, Georgia, Idaho, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin, have enacted legislation against revenge porn. The trend is a result of the growing discontent among victims that they are, for the most part, unable to use legal action to remove the photos in quesSee REVENGE on page 2 u

ith balmy summer weather abounding in east Lansing, groups of MSU students often take to the open-air patios of restaurants to enjoy a meal among friends. Throughout the dinner, smartphones are checked occasionally for varying periods of time and intermittently, a diner holds their phone aloft, staring intently into the screen, their face contorting with the intensity of their expression. They’re taking a selfie. The advent of the smartphone frontfacing camera has made the selfie a
ubiquitous part of the social media landscape. a selfie is an instantaneous self-portrait, often published though applications such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter or Snapchat. The selfie has become so widespread that in 2013 the term was named Oxford Dictionaries’ word of the Year. But the trend is so new that a variety of analyses have only begun to merge about the meaning of the instant portraits, which are often flattering, sometimes silly and almost always shared publicly. experts and students alike are in disagreement about just why the selfie has become such an significant part of life both on and off the Internet. Selfie Science Pre-law sophomore Christine Burke said she gets the urge to post pictures
of herself online frequently. She said if she’s bored or if her hair looks good on a particular day, she can’t help but post a picture. “when there’s nothing exciting going on, it’s like ‘why not post a selfie?’” Burke said. associate professor at the University of Southern Mississippi Chris Barry is conducting research on the meaning and implications of selfies, examining the psychological implications of how selfies are framed. “It can be a sort of way to demonstrate positive things going on in your life,” Barry said. But Peg Streep, an author who has written for Psychology Today on the topic, argued selfies have much more negative implications on a larger scale. See SeLFIeS on page 2 u

n summer, campus is like a ghost town. Many students go off to internships, to study abroad or to home if it’s not close to campus. For international students, going home is not always ideal. Some see working and attending summer classes as beneficial, while others use the time to explore outside of Michigan. With the hefty price of a plane ticket home and the appeal of American life holding them back from traveling home, more international students are making the choice to stay on campus over summer vacation. A time to travel Director of the Office of International Students and Scholars Peter Briggs said international students choose to stay in the U.S. for a variety of reasons. Some students may use summer vacation as an opportunity to travel to tourist spots and larger cities in the United States. “There’s a lot of things you can do when you don’t have a chance as a student,” Briggs said. He added by taking summer vacation to travel, students who are not as confident with their English speaking have the chance Seasonal ability undergraduate enrollment China to improve it.

MSUCAC help local community Marijuana petition eyes ballot By Katie Krall kkrall@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn
Recent alumni have the c ha nce to rel ive c a mpus memories with the start of MSU College Advising Corps’ month-long summer training. M SU C ol leg e A d v i s i n g Corps, or MSUCAC, is partnered with AmeriCorps and the National College Advising Corps to help low-income, first generation or underrepresented high school students move through the college enrollment process with the goal of accepting more high school students into higher educa-
tion. MSUCAC focuses on both urban and rural communities. Advisers have the opportunity to serve a high school or multiple high schools for two years after graduation from MSU. The program is open to any recent graduate of any major. Second-year adviser Lorrena Johnson serves two rural high schools in the Muskegon area. “I am a first generation college student. Education changed my whole entire life,” Johnson said. “I want to try to impact as many lives as possible — especially first generation, low-income students, because a lot of the time peo-
ple don’t tell you you can go to college, because your parents didn’t go.” Johnson said she went to a 98 percent African American high school with little to no diversity, but her first year at MSU allowed her to meet people from all over the world. She said her college experience opened her mind and changed her life. The chance to give other high school students the same opportunity is what made her join MSUCAC. “This is a program where we are going in as a recent college graduate, talking to See CORPS on page 2 u

In November, registered voters in East Lansing can vote on decriminalizing recreational marijuana use within city limits if a circulating petition garners enough signatures. The petition would allow voters to decide on marijuana reform similar to what Lansing voters enacted last year, which allows for the use, possession or transfer of less than one ounce of marijuana on private property for those age 21 or older. But there is one difference
— the East Lansing measure additionally allows for those age 21 or older to transport less than one ounce of marijuana. In recent days a host of signature collectors have been hitting the city’s streets. Jeffrey Hank, an attorney and congressional hopeful spearheading the petition, said they’ve gathered nearly 1,400 signatures. Hank estimated the numbers are close to the required amount, but said they’ll continue collecting for the next few weeks. Hank is part of the Safer Michigan Coalition, which initiated petitions that success-
fully reformed marijuana laws in Jackson, Ferndale and Lansing in 2013. If the petition in East Lansing goes to a vote and passes, local police could still arrest people for possession under state and federal law, Hank said. But the reform would remove financial incentive for such arrests. “The police, if they want to, can still charge you with state law,” Hank said. “In Lansing and Jackson the police have respected the will of the people. You would hope you don’t have the local police actSee PETITION on page 2 u

Spartan athletes, coaches gather for annual golf outing fundraiser for cystic fibrosis
Community prepares for Patriarche Park remodel
Aim “to be givers, not takers” By Colleen Otte cotte@statenews.com The STaTe NewS nn
Spartan sports celebrities from both past and present gathered at hawk hollow Golf Course Friday to show their support at the Drew Stanton high 5ive Foundation Celebrity Golf Outing and Charity auction. Proceeds from the golf outing and the live and silent auction that followed will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Children’s Miracle Network of Sparrow hospital and Special Olympics of Michigan. “I think this year we’re right around 45 foursomes,” event host and former MSU quarterback Drew Stanton said. “In the past we’ve had goals as far as redoing the teen room at Sparrow hospital ... and then the treatment room the year before. ... we’re going to try to help the Lansing area in particular — their Special Olympics is in need of assistance, and that’s what we’re here for.” Stanton, who has hosted the event for the past six years, said the outing began in Marshall, Mich., eight years ago, but moved to Lansing after three years. Last year, the high 5ive Foundation donated $60,000 to charities. “we wanted to move it to Lansing ... having more resources up here. we wanted to make a bigger impact and try to raise more money,” he said. “By doing that, we’ve continued to grow each year, and it’s provided us the opportunity to give back even more than we could hope for.” head football coach Mark Dantonio said it is very important to him to see his former and

current athletes giving back in such a huge way. “One of our basic goals of our program is to be givers, not takers,” he said. “Once they understand that they can do these type of things, it’s something they’ll be able to do the rest of their lives.” Kaleb Thornhill, Director of Player engagement for the Miami Dolphins and former MSU middle linebacker, said this was his third or fourth year attending the event and he traveled from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to attend. “I think it’s important that you support people in the community who are doing great things, that continue to stay connected in the Lansing area, that continue to give back to the Spartan nation, that continue to impact people that are disadvantaged — that don’t have the resources that we currently have in our lives on a daily basis, that we’re so fortunate to have,” Thornhill said. Kyler elsworth, former MSU linebacker who made the gamewinning stop in the Spartans’ Rose Bowl victory, said he feels that giving back to the community is an athletes’ duty since they are in the limelight. “People look at the football players, basketball players, guys that play in college as larger-than-life figures sometimes,” he said. “If you can use that role to benefit a great cause and bring people out, why not do it?” Former MSU wide receiver Keith Nichol said he believes such notable victories, such as the Rose Bowl, bring more people to events such as the high 5ive Foundation golf outing. “The success of the program is bringing in a lot of good things,” he said.

The City of east Lansing and the east Lansing Rotary Club are seeking volunteers to help build a playground at Patriarche Park, at 1100 alton St., beginning Monday. Organizations and community members will continue working until Thursday. east Lansing Rotary Club President James Bonfiglio said the club initially built a playground at Patriarche Park several years ago. In 2010, the Rotary Club decided to renovate the playground as a way to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. what started as a playground renovation turned into a bigger project. Members of the club planned to tear down the playground and start from scratch because of amounts of arsenic found in the treated lumber. The project’s fundraising committee is still accepting donations. Playground Committee Chair John Saltzgaber said as of last Thursday, the committee is $115,000 short of their $570,000 goal. Director of east Lansing Park, Recreation and arts Staff Tim McCaffrey said the Rotary Club established an additional way to raise funds for the project. The Rotary Club is selling customized brick pavers that will be placed in the entryway of the park. The bricks are available in two sizes: 4 inches by 8 inches for $100 and 8 inches by 8 inches for $150. Bricks can be purchased at a fundraising website through the city. McCaffrey said during the community build, volunteers will install playground equipment and general contractors are currently in the process of constructing a rain garden, which includes an awning that redirects rain flow to water the plants. Bonfiglio said anyone can show up to help with the project, however, registration is preferred. Volunteers can register online at SignUpGenius. “we have 340 individuals who have come and registered online, saying they’re interested in helping out,” Saltzgaber said. Snacks and water will be provided for volunteers, but Saltzgaber recommends bringing gloves and a bottle for water.

The Regal Lansing Mall Stadium 12 & RPX will open this Friday in the Lansing Mall, and the new 12-screen theatre will accommodate more than 2,300 moviegoers. “Opening the first Regal Cinemas in Lansing is very exciting for us. And I’m certain that moviegoers are going to be impressed not only with our new theatre, but also by how Regal truly appreciates our guests as evidenced by the Royal Crown Club, which is the number one loyalty and rewards program among all theatre exhibitors,” Jewel Gallagher, northern marketing manager for Regal Entertainment Group, said in a statement. The theatre will host themed preview events July 7 through July 9 to support local charities. The events include Regal Cares & Shares Day, benefitting the Greater Lansing Food Bank; Regal Family Fun Day, benefitting Ele’s Place for grieving children and teens; and Regal Dream It, Achieve It Day, benefitting Junior Achievement of Mid-Michigan. “Regal is so fortunate to be able to give back during its grand opening festivities. These themed days, along with the special pricing, offer more reasons to celebrate,” Russ Nunley, vice president of marketing and communications for Regal Entertainment Group, said in a statement. Moviegoers who belong to the Regal Crown Club rewards program will be eligible for free popcorn and soft drinks with each admission July 11 through 31.

Net neutrality decision could affect students, but not MSU Internet By Derek Gartee dgartee@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn
Since its inception, the Internet has been a free-flowing world with complete and equal access to all of its parts. But with the Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, currently discussing the Internet’s future in regards to net neutrality, some students might be left wondering what changes they may see both on and off campus. For students on campus, Internet access would stay the same regardless of the FCC’s decision.
The Merit Network was created by MSU, University of Michigan and Wayne State University for use in universities around Michigan. MSU uses the Merit Network for all of its on-campus Internet access. Despite the FCC’s pending decision not having an effect at MSU, the same cannot be said for other national Internet service providers. Stemming from a Jan. 14 United States Court of Appeals decision on a case between Verizon and the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC must now decide how Internet service is classified.
Some Internet service providers have discussed giving Internet priority to certain websites by allowing users to access the sites faster. The Merit Net work, the Internet service provider for MSU, will not be affected no matter the FCC’s ruling, and officials said they will stick to their current philosophy. “We’re not planning to restrict any type of traffic.

One option is classifying Internet connections as a common carrier, which is a classification currently given to utilities like phone and electricity. This would allow the FCC to keep the Internet a level playing field. The other option is to remove some current Internet protections, allowing so-called “fast lanes” to exist on the Internet to those who pay for them.

Student design heads to nationals
Marching band practice field construction sees progress

A MSU engineering start-up that recently won $100,000 in a regional competition will move onto the national finals, sponsored by the Department of Energy on Thursday. The team’s prize-winning design would reduce costs and increase the effectiveness of geothermal power plants, said Zach Hoyle, mechanical engineering graduate student and Black Pine Engineering Chief Executive Officer. The design incorporates their woven wheel technology, which is a turbomachinery wheel forged from woven carbon fiber rather than metal.
Construction crews broke ground on the new turfgrass marching band practice field in May and construction will continue through August. The ongoing project is taking place in the southeast corner of Munn field, which will be home to the Spartan Marching Band beginning in August. The field will also be lined for soccer and intramural sport usage. With a price tag of about $1.3 million, funding for the construction of the field comes from donors and from the Forest Akers Trust, which gifted the funds to the marching band. The original field lies adjacent to Demonstration Hall, in which the marching band is based. The current field is grass-only and easily becomes riddled with ankleendangering divots. The existing safety concerns were enough to implement the project. The new artificial surface will also be weather resistant. “We can beat up a grass football field like no other,” director of the Spartan Marching Band, John Madden, previously told the The State News. “If it rains once, the grass doesn’t have a chance.” A month into the proj-
“I wanted to work with like-minded people who wanted to change the world and aren’t content with the traditional route of doing things.” Zach Hoyle, engineering Chief executive Officer
Hoyle said the benefit of using woven carbon fiber is that it’s lighter, cheaper to produce and allows for greater integration into whatever system it’s implemented in. “It’s something that has the potential to drive down clean energy costs,” he said. “The turbomachinery wheels are used everywhere, but they’re really expensive and that’s really slowing the growth of clean energy in the U.S.” Hoyle said there’s a lot on the line at the national competition. They stand to win $100,000, the favor of potential investors and a chance for a feature in Scientific American Magazine, if the majority of people vote for their design. The woven wheel and its application in geothermal technology was developed by mechanical engineering professor Norbert Mueller. Hoyle became involved with the technology last year when he approached Mueller with the idea of commercializing the technology.

Jimmy Pickens, Joel Fisher selected in 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft

The MSU baseball team saw two players drafted in the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft on Saturday — outfielder Jimmy Pickens to the Cincinnati Reds in round 15 (455th overall), and catcher Joel Fisher to the Philadelphia Phillies in round 23 (682nd overall). Pickens was a top contributor to the Spartan offense last season, posting 38 runs and leading the team with a .318 batting average. The senior outfielder’s strong 2014 campaign, which included a 13-game hitting streak from March 7-April 2 where he batted an average of .404, culminated into an All-Big Ten First Team selection at the end of the season. “Jimmy was one of our two best guys offensively
and, I think, really prepared himself well for the draft and for a career for baseball,” baseball head coach Jake Boss Jr. said. “He possesses the tools a lot of those guys were looking for as far as athleticism and foot speed and especially power, and he showed all three for us this year.” Pickens, who was drafted in the 41 round by the Detroit Tigers in 2011 after graduating Brother Rice High School in Rochester Hills, Mich., succeeded in his goal of improving his draft stock. “He was drafted out of high school and really wanted to work hard to improve his draft status, and he did that,” Boss said. “(I’m) very happy for him, excited for his future.” Fisher had a solid campaign for the Spartans last season with 39 RBI’s and threw out a Big Ten-best 30 potential base stealers. The 6-foot-3 right-hander was huge for MSU in the Big Ten Tournament, hitting .471 with six RBI’s to help the Spartans reach the semi-final round, where they fell to Indiana, 7-4. You can’t really measure the impact that he had on our program because the job that he did, the catcher is kinda like the quarterback out on the field,” Boss said. “He did that for four years and was really really good, won a Big Ten title as a freshman. And just the leadership he brought to the table was extremely good from a talent perspective. “He was as good as a catch and throw guy as we saw anywhere in the country. He got hot there towards the end in the Big Ten Tournament with the bat and I think that really helped him.” Next season, the Spartans will welcome back junior designated hitter Blaise Salter, junior righthander Mick VanVossen and redshirt junior lefthander Jeff Kinley, who did not get drafted last weekend. VanVossen, who was the No. 1 pitcher for MSU last season, pitched a career-best .282 ERA and posted an 8-3 overall record. Salter was an offensive powerhouse with 50 RBI’s and a .317 average. Kinley missed a portion of his 2013 campaign because of blood clots, which Boss said may have affected his draft stock as he worked to recover preblood clot form. “It’s a situation where they certainly take that and have the motivation to prove to all 30 pro organizations that they’re capable of being successful at the next level,” Boss said. “I think that goes into their approach for summer baseball, the way that they lead our ball club next fall, and the work that they put into the offseason.” PhoToS By daNyelle Morrow/The STaTe NewS PhoTo IlluSTr aTIoN By haley kluGe/The STaTe NewS

Sounds of Summer returns By Michael Kransz mkransz@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn
The season-opener for the Sounds of Summer Concert Series took place on Friday at Lake Lansing Park South, offering students and residents a chance to grill out, beach-bum and enjoy live music. Occurring every Friday through the end of August, the Lake Lansing Band Shell Committee reigns in various musical acts, from barbershop stylings, to polka, to classic rock, and grants attendees free-of-charge parking and admission. All the while, concert-goers can utilize the paddle boats, concessions, volleyball sand courts, grills, picnic areas, playgrounds, a bounce house, beach area and an inflatable slide. On Friday the band Soulstice jammed out on saxophone, trumpet, bass, electric guitar and drums, playing top 40 hits and inciting dancing among the crowd. Band Shell Committee member and Haslett resident Laura Gilles said the committee selects bands that are suitable for all tastes and vary in genre. Gilles said the concert series is a welcoming place for people of all ages and a chance to learn more about one another.
“It’s a place where you meet your neighbors — everybody comes,” Gilles said. “Everybody gets to know one another and see the children grow.” Media and information sophomore and Haslett resident Dan Stephens has spent his past three summers working at the park. Stephens said the Band Shell is a driving force of community spirit and summertime celebration. “This bandshell wasn’t always here, and ever since they built it there’s been a great sense of community around here,” he said. Aengus McIntosh, Haslett resident and Band Shell Committee chairperson, said the concert series has been a central part of the community since its inception 12 years ago.What started off as an event with an average attendance of nearly 100 people, grew ninefold in the number of concertgoers, McIntosh said. Reema Aldhaneem, mechanical engineering senior, decided to celebrate the sunny Friday with friends by grilling out at the park. The music, she said, was an unexpected addition to the evening. Aldhaneem said she found the park several years ago when she was bored and looking for something to do. She said the park is a nice addition to life in East Lansing.

East Lansing residents may have recycled a record volume of materials for the 20th anniversary of Recycle! East Lansing, according to city officials. Cathy DeShambo, East Lansing Environmental Services Administrator, said she has been involved with Recycle! East Lansing for many years, and that this year’s activity may have beaten prior recycling records. She said volunteers assisted a steady, heavy stream of residents with full car and trailer loads, and that the high turnout could likely be attributed to the recent nice weather. “People have been able to get into their garages,” DeShambo said. “The years where it has been rainy and cold until right before this, it’s as if people just weren’t in the mindset.” Last year, the event accumulated 11 tons of electronics, 350 pounds of medication, 4.5 tons of scrap metal, 500 pounds of styrofoam, 1.5 tons of books, 40 bicycles and 128 reparable appliances, DeShambo said. Volunteers also
Community sets possible record in 20th anniversary of Recycle! East Lansing
drove out for 36 pickups at senior citizens’ homes, but DeShambo said that number more than doubled this year. Tom Schmidt, one of the drivers of the five city trucks designated for the senior citizen pickup routes, said he enjoyed the task because seniors always appreciate the volunteers picking up their excess belongings for free. “They’re grateful to get rid of it, but they’re especially glad to know that some of it is going to be reused, and what’s not reused is recycled,” he said. DeShambo said there are typically 50 to 100 volunteers consisting of both groups and individuals. Volunteer coordinator Susan Schmidt said groups included Boy Scout Troop 180, the East Lansing High School junior varsity football team, the Prime Time Seniors’ Program and the Lions Club. Volunteer Lary Hill attended the event on behalf of the Lions Club to collect old eyeglasses, which are reused and given to underserved populations. “(We) get them cleaned and get them assessed as to their prescription, have them labeled and put on a master computer list, and
then they are put in boxes so that churches or Lions Clubs that go overseas to do eyeglass missions with eyeglass doctors can take six to seven thousand pairs of glasses to give to the population in need,” he said. Hill said he feels the event has continued to run smoothly because of the number of volunteers, the user-friendly layout and the consistent location. East Lansing resident Howard Heideman agreed the event is successful because it is convenient — residents can recycle basically everything in one location. “My family has lived in East Lansing for 30 years, and we’ve been coming to this event every year,” he said. “It gives us an easy way to recycle items that we (aren’t able to) — that we throw in the trash — that we shouldn’t throw in the trash.” DeShambo said it’s especially important for residents to know they can bring toxic materials to the event to ensure they are properly disposed of. For example, all medications collected are taken to the Ingham County Health Department by a professional to keep the community and water supply safe.

2015 recruit Jayru Campbell sentenced to 60 days in jail By Omari Sankofa II osankofa@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn
Jayru Campbell, 17-year-old quarterback at Detroit Cass Tech and 2015 MSU recruit, was sentenced to 60 days in jail last Friday for an assault on a Cass Tech security guard on Jan. 28. The incident, which was video-recorded and featured on several social media sites, showed Campbell body slam Cass Tech Securitas security guard Robert Donovic following a brief verbal confrontation where Donovic
asked Campbell to remove his hood. Campbell initially was charged with assault with intent to do bodily harm, a felony, and aggravated assault, a misdemeanor, but the felony was dropped in a plea deal Campbell accepted in early May. As part of the plea deal, Campbell read a written apology to Donovic in court on Friday, and will take anger management courses and undergo a psychological evaluation. In addition to the jail sentence, Campbell will serve 15 months
probation, complete 700 hours of community service and will be responsible for Donovic’s remaining medical expenses. Campbell will begin his sentence July 28, following the completion of his summer school courses. The sentence could potentially overlap with Cass Tech’s 2014 football season if Campbell isn’t released early for good behavior. Campbell is widely regarded as one of the top quarterback recruits in the nation and received offers from Alabama, Notre Dame and Wisconsin.

hough the sculpture garden next to the eli and edythe Broad art Museum isn’t sheltered from the noise of surrounding traffic, the attendees of the museum’s Yoga at the museum found their center by practicing listening and breathing exercises as they moved through the session. This Saturday’s morning yoga session was taught by special guest instructor and Lansing resident Tara Scott, who has been teaching yoga for eight years. Men and women of all ages and backgrounds listened and followed along as Scott struck a bell to focus the group. Scott said she aids her students in finding compassion and caters to the abilities of the classes she instructs. “There’s something in it for everyone,” Scott said. “Just to really touch the earth ... it’s just a chance to feel like there’s a sense of vastness.” She believes that by simply being outdoors and being next to someone on a mat garners community and the union that yoga fosters. Scott said her motto is “movement, mindfulness and meditation.” “I see that as the art of creating skillfulness,” Scott said. “It’s a collective way to generate compassion.” Second year law student Kate Matych said she likes the idea of being around the art and the people outside of the museum and relaxing during the Broad art Museum’s yoga sessions.

Clubs and small sandbags flew through the air, occasionally landing on the ground, as juggling instructors taught a group of children how to handle the multiple items, Sunday at the Orchard Street Pump house. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoons, local jugglers hold free juggling lessons for the public at the Pump house. Juggler and east Lansing resident Mike Marhanka said he and other jugglers are independent, but all show up on Sunday afternoons at the Pump house for the lessons. T he P u mp hou se i s Orchard Street’s own community center. It is home to concerts, exercise classes and other social gatherings. In 1934, the Pump house was built to pump water and house the chemicals that were added to the water system to produce clean drinking water. when the Pump house went out of use, it was converted to and now serves as a gathering place for a variety of activities — such as Sunday afternoon juggling. Marhanka said he learned to juggle in 1995 and juggling classes began at the Pump house around 1997. he added one of his favorite parts about juggling is the ability to juggle clubs back and forth with another juggler. “Passing would be my favorite form of juggling,” Marhanka said. “Passing is what jugglers do once they’ve mastered things a little bit. It makes it more social.” Prior to coming to the lesson, Daytona Beach resident Domenic Barsotti said he did not know how to juggle. Barsotti said he was in town for business and decided to stop by the Pump house to learn the new skill. after spending an hour and a half practicing the t r ic k , Ba rsot t i sa id he thought he had the hang of it. Marhanka said he enjoys passing the skill on to others because he feels it is one people will always carry. “we very gladly teach people how to juggle, it’s a skill that will stay with you forever,” Marhanka said. Juggler and Lansing resident Brandon Vasos said being a juggling teacher is an enjoyable activity. “I think it’s really just a matter of desiring to learn how to juggle — anyone can do it,” Vasos said.

Ohio State received the highest number of votes with 195, 23 of which were first place. MSU received the second highest number of votes in the east division with 180, 10 of which were for first place. Michigan received the third-highest amount of votes in the east with 136. The predictions come after a season that saw the Spartans emerged as the Big Ten champs and Rose Bowl winners. MSU defeated the Buckeyes 34 to 24 in the championship game, snapping a 24-game winning streak for Ohio State. The Buckeyes will return star senior quarterback Braxton Miller and several other key players, leading many to believe they could bounce back next season after a disappointing end to their 2013 campaign.
wisconsin received the second highest number of votes overall and placed first in the west division with 183.5, 15 of which were for first place. Ohio State also emerged as the favorite for the Big Ten Championship with 19 votes. MSU finished in second place with nine. The Plain Dealer also took a poll for Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year predictions. MSU junior defensive end Shilique Calhoun emerged as the favorite, edging out Nebraska junior defensive end Randy Gregory 13 to 10. Calhoun enjoyed a breakout season last year, compiling 14 tackles, 7.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and three touchdowns. Senior Ohio State defensive tackle Michael Bennett, sophomore Ohio State defensive lineman Joey Bosa and Michigan redshirt senior linebacker Jake Ryan rounded out the rest of the list with four votes, one vote and one vote, respectively.

Although East Lansing has made strides to promote development throughout the city, there still remains a significant portion of buildings in the area affected by blight, or urban decay. Trowbridge Village Located south of downtown and west of campus, Trowbridge Village is a large strip mall standing near the exit of the nearby highway.

rowing east lansing
The area boasts a wide range of culturally diverse shops, such as Woody’s Oasis, a Mediterranean restaurant, and a Chinese food market. It also is home to some favorite local establishments like Goodrich’s, a hometown grocer, and the small sandwich, beer and wine shop, Hobie’s. The one major drawback of the Trowbridge Village is the lack of renovation. “I know the history of East Lansing. All around us East Lansing is being redeveloped, except Trowbridge Road,” local resident and Wendy’s restaurant Owner Randy Isreal said. Recently, there have been efforts to reinvigorate the blighted area. First, in 2012, the Capital Area Transit Authority, or CATA, along with MSU and the city of East Lansing
received a grant from the state to build a new Amtrak station. Currently, the station on Trowbridge Road is small and in need of renovations. The new 6,000- to 9,000-square-foot station will feature bus and train platforms, waiting areas, bus ticketing and baggage stations. The Amtrak station redevelopment is slow moving, however. Construction was first slated for 2013, but was delayed to the summer of 2014. CATA officials still hold construction will be completed by mid-2015. Trowbridge Village itself will also be receiving renovations. A city council vote on May 20 approved the building of a four story, mixed-use building on the Trowbridge Plaza site. In addition to the large
building, which will house students as well as office space, there will be renovations to the existing strip mall.
Park disTricT The other visible blighted area in East Lansing can be seen while walking down Grand River Avenue, the city’s main road. The large, abandoned, grey building looms over the road with many other abandoned buildings behind it. The area has been a source of controversy for the city for a while. Originally, the city planned to redevelop the property. The project, known as City Center II, would have demolished the existing building and created a large, 10-story, mixed-use building, a parking garage, and
commercial and residential spaces. However, due to the recession of 2008, the project never began and the area was left untouched. Now, the city is attempting to redevelop the area again though the Park District Project. The park district project will take some of the empty lots behind the large grey buildings
and create new, mixed-use buildings. T he blighted buildings on Grand River Avenue, however, will remain untouched as they are still owned by the planned developer of City Center II. The city is hoping that after the first project is completed, the old developer will choose to redevelop the larger buildings.

current athletes giving back in such a huge way. “One of our basic goals of our program is to be givers, not takers,” he said. “Once they understand that they can do these type of things, it’s something they’ll be able to do the rest of their lives.” Kaleb Thornhill, Director of Player engagement for the Miami Dolphins and former MSU middle linebacker, said this was his third or fourth year attending the event and he traveled from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., to attend. “I think it’s important that you support people in the community who are doing great things, that continue to stay connected in the Lansing area, that continue to give back to the Spartan nation, that continue to impact people that are disadvantaged — that don’t have the resources that we currently have in our lives on a daily basis, that we’re so fortunate to have,” Thornhill said. Kyler elsworth, former MSU linebacker who made the gamewinning stop in the Spartans’ Rose Bowl victory, said he feels that giving back to the community is an athletes’ duty since they are in the limelight. “People look at the football players, basketball players, guys that play in college as larger-than-life figures sometimes,” he said. “If you can use that role to benefit a great cause and bring people out, why not do it?” Former MSU wide receiver Keith Nichol said he believes such notable victories, such as the Rose Bowl, bring more people to events such as the high 5ive Foundation golf outing. “The success of the program is bringing in a lot of good things,” he said.

The City of east Lansing and the east Lansing Rotary Club are seeking volunteers to help build a playground at Patriarche Park, at 1100 alton St., beginning Monday. Organizations and community members will continue working until Thursday. east Lansing Rotary Club President James Bonfiglio said the club initially built a playground at Patriarche Park several years ago. In 2010, the Rotary Club decided to renovate the playground as a way to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary. what started as a playground renovation turned into a bigger project. Members of the club planned to tear down the playground and start from scratch because of amounts of arsenic found in the treated lumber. The project’s fundraising committee is still accepting donations. Playground Committee Chair John Saltzgaber said as of last Thursday, the committee is $115,000 short of their $570,000 goal. Director of east Lansing Park, Recreation and arts Staff Tim McCaffrey said the Rotary Club established an additional way to raise funds for the project. The Rotary Club is selling customized brick pavers that will be placed in the entryway of the park. The bricks are available in two sizes: 4 inches by 8 inches for $100 and 8 inches by 8 inches for $150. Bricks can be purchased at a fundraising website through the city. McCaffrey said during the community build, volunteers will install playground equipment and general contractors are currently in the process of constructing a rain garden, which includes an awning that redirects rain flow to water the plants. Bonfiglio said anyone can show up to help with the project, however, registration is preferred. Volunteers can register online at SignUpGenius. “we have 340 individuals who have come and registered

WORDS: Creative Beauty Director Micah Davis MAKE-UP: Micah Davis, Michelle Ghafari and Jenna Oosterlinck PHOTOS: Kelly Langton
By adding a brow pencil, pomade or powder to your brows, you can redefine your look and stay on trend. Bolder brows can easily become a part of your daily make-up routine by simply allowing yourself a few extra minutes in the morning. Enhance your brows correctly with our recommended products and by following the steps below: Start by plucking any extra hairs underneath each brow If needed, trim the long hairs above the brows. Outline underneath the brow with a pomade or pencil by following its natural shape Apply a brow powder or shadow by lightly stroking upward with an angled brush to make the brow appear fuller Clean underneath the brow with an angled brush and a cream concealer up to two shades lighter than your natural skin tone to shape the brow Blend the concealer underneath Finally, brush upward with a brow brush to make for a more natural yet sculpted finish

Top 5 International
Beauty Products
Feeling bored with local beauty retailers? Check out VIM’s roundup of affordable and international beauty products that are sure to leave you with wanderlust. Invisible Zinc Sunscreen A girl can never have too much sunscreen. Popular in Australia, Invisible Zinc is just a simple drug store purchase, but unlike other drugstore brands, it contains zinc oxide, an all-natural alternative to chemical sun blocking agents. Shahnaz Husain Shaeyes Kajal Kohl Black Eyeliner Shahnaz Husain Shaeyes Kajal Kohl liner is made completely of organic materials, including almond oil and flower extracts. The brand uses ingredients from ancient Indian, herb-basedl medicinal treatments for improving and maintaining vision. The thick black liner is great for achieving the smoky-eye look. Skin 79 Super Plus BB Cream BB creams – beauty balms, beauty benefits or blemish balms – exploded in popularity throughout Asia in early 2013. The creams have now taken over drugstore shelves in the U.S. - and for good reason. BB creams are a time and money saver, combining moisturizers, toners, primers, concealers, foundations and SPFs all in one tube. Tired of the drugstore options? Try Skin 79 Super Plus, a Korean favorite. Kaé L’huile de Beauté Moroccan Argan Oil Like the U.S. Moroccanoil hair care line, Kaé L’huile de Beauté Moroccan Argan Oil utilizes the vitamin-enriched serum derived from the native Moroccan argan tree as a deep conditioning hair treatment. Unlike traditional formulas, Kaé can be used on the face, body and hair to achieve a perfect balance of moisture throughout the year. Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick Parisian women are known for their seemingly innate ability to pull off a powerful red lip. With France as the beauty capital of the world, choosing the perfect shade of red can be tricky. The Chanel Rouge Coco lipstick is a Parisian classic and a proper tribute to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s beauty legacy. The Rouge Coco line offers pearl, matte and shimmer finishes perfect for lipstick lovers everywhere.

Casual
A cozy cabin dinner calls for a casual and relaxed look. Stay warm and festive indoors with patterned knits. This historically festive trend has made its way back into the hearts of many designers. Luckily for us, patterned knits can be purchased at J. Crew, Macy’s, and H&M. Pair your favorite patterned knit sweater with jeans or chinos this holiday season to Down filled quilted jackets are quite the style and will be sure to keep you warm during those chilly outdoor holiday events. Pair them with slim fitting jeans to counter the size of the puffy coat. Put on your boots and you will be all set for a fun holiday outdoors.
Dressy Casual
Black and white is a classic color combination that has proven to be timeless, as it has made many appearances on the Fall/Winter 2014 runways. Designers like Alexander Wang, Agi & Sam, and Alexander McQueen have featured black and white looks on the runway this season. Keep this holiday simple and pair black pant and jacket coordinates with a white button down, or mix it up. If you are attending a dinner party or another dressy casual event you can’t go wrong with this simple and chic color. Whether you are dressing up or down ‘tis the season to be stylish, happy dressing.
31bits look good, do good
As college students, we’re always planning for the future. We have the potential to make a difference in the world and the founders of 31 Bits have turned these thoughts into actions. During their junior year of college, Anna Toy, Kallie Dovel, Julie Fetner, Alli Swanson and Julie Sullivan created 31 Bits, a philanthropic jewelry company that works to provide college-aged women in underdeveloped countries with healthwcare, counseling and education. 31 Bits is able to cover the cost of a five-year program with profits made from their handcrafted jewels. 31 Bits features colorful pieces that are perfect for transitioning from a summer flower-child to an urban, autumn it-girl. From clutches to statement necklaces, each piece echoes an upbeat style made with an array of beads in organic shapes, all handcrafted from recycled paper and other natural materials. While the pieces’ vibrant colors may give off summer vibes, they can be easily incorporated into any fall wardrobe. We chatted with co-founder Alli Swanson to get the latest on this season’s accessory trends, and how to follow in these young founders’ footsteps. HALLY DARNELL
Q: What are some trends you are seeing in jewelry right now? A: We love the look of lots of arm candy; mixing and matching Bits with metallic jewelry and big statement necklaces. Q: How can we incorporate pieces from 31 Bits into our fall wardrobes? A: We really do wear our Bits with everything! We love rocking our Santa Fe necklace with a little black dress or a striped tee. We also love the look of layering our Armadillo Song necklace with a sweater and a vest. We frequently mix and match our bracelets with gold bangles – our Daphne bracelets are great for that! Q: Do you have any advice for students on getting involved with charitable organizations like 31 Bits? A: Two things. Number one: go for it! We were scared and unqualified, but didn’t let that stop our dream. Number two: ask questions. Learn from those who are already running organizations and have been down that path.

PRABAL GURUNG FALL 2014
The chilly nights and prematurely setting sun symbolize the end of summer drawing near. It’s time to bid adieu to the welcomed rays upon our backs and the daily poolside soirées. However, there is no need to fret! Once the leaves undergo their metamorphosis, so do our wardrobes. Many people see fall as the ideal opportunity to embody the overused concept of “sweater weather.” But sweaters and infinity scarves are not the only option this season, as one cozy knit proved to be not enough for powerhouse designers such as Celine, Stella McCartney and The Row. When reaching for your chunky turtleneck, take a chance and throw it over a form fitting, knit-ribbed midi dress paired with a pointed heel. This look would be perfect
for a night out with the girls, a romantic date or possibly a job interview. For a more “I woke up like this” approach (the look us college women frequently lean towards), pair the turtleneck with knit leggings and leather oxfords. One designer always comes to mind while envisioning the epitome of feminism and class: Elie Saab. Saab decided to go a bit gothic this collection through the use of rich lux velvet in deep ombre hues. He presented these aesthetics on high-slit wrap gowns, ideal for the fall and holiday season. If you’re longing to stray from the typical college “ugly sweater” parties this holiday season, dress up and gravitate toward a simple velvet sheath dress. Or mix textures by pairing a mohair sweater with a velvet skater skirt; after all, ‘tis the season! TANYA SHEIKH
