MSU reviews overall academics over ACT scores when admitting students When it comes to selecting the best applicants, MSU reviews students’ overall academics rather than focusing on ACT scores alone. Based only on student’s ACT scores, MSU is ranked second to last of the Big Ten institutions. According to data compiled by Bridge Magazine, MSU admits a higher number of students with low ACT scores than any other Big Ten school except Nebraska, which was at the bottom. — See more on statenews.com

Fall move in may bring increased recycling activity across campus The amount of recycled materials per person on campus likely will be higher this week, officials say. By Sergio Martínez-Beltrán smartinez@statenews.com

Elevators packed and moving carts everywhere. Cardboard boxes and foam littering every corner of the residence halls. For students that have moved to East Lansing, this scene might sound familiar. With an influx of students on campus comes an increase of garbage in the dumpsters and recyclable items on the recycling bins in all the residence halls around campus. With recycling collection stations in 553 buildings across campus, the amount collected in the first weeks of c la sses su r pa sses t he amount collected on any regular week, said Ann Erhardt, assistant director of the Office of Sustainability. Although the data has yet been collected, she said that the amount recycled per per-

son could be higher in the move-in week. As part of the recycling initiatives from the Office of Sustainability, this year’s edition of Sparticipation was going to be a zero-waste event. “For this event, food waste will be collected,” Erhardt said. “A lot of the items (at the event) are materials that can be composted.” Sparticipation was postponed due to a severe thunderstorm on Tuesday. According to a report from Residential and Hospitality Services, the campaign “Pack Up. Pitch In.” collected 101,591 pounds of cardboard in 2013. Residential and Hospitality Services Sustainability Coordinator Carla Iansiti anticipates 100,000 to 200,000 pounds of cardboard throughout 2014. As of Wednesday, Iansiti said several tons of cardboard,

packaging materials and Styrofoam have been collected. After the materials have been collected, a staff made up on its majority by students will sort them at the MSU Recycling Center. “Our facility is where all the recycling items come to,” Erhardt said. “It’s either recycled or bailed.” The East Lansing recycling program sees a peak in recycling materials at certain periods too. “We see an increase (of recycling) in major football games — you get more recyclable materials with bottles and cans,” Environmental Services Administrator of East Lansing Cathy DeShambo said. Besides the curbside recycling program, residents are encouraged to bring their rec yclable mater ials at a drop-off site at 1800 East State Road.

Jacksonville State a “statement game” for MSU football By Geoff Preston gpreston@statenews.com

Spartans want to make a statement on the opening night of college football against FCS opponent Jacksonville State. Maybe not Rose Bowl loud, but he wants people to know that while the Spartans aren’t going away, they don’t feel like they are entitled to anything. “This is a statement game,” Dantonio said. “If you can’t get excited about playing under the lights in Spartan Stadium, then it’s just not happening for you.” The elephant in the room is

the week two opponent. After playing Jacksonville State, the Spartans will head west to play Oregon in Eugene. That game will likely have playoff implications, whereas the game against Jacksonville State likely will not. “It is (hard to not look ahead) but I’ve seen big schools lose to little schools because they overlooked them,” senior running back Jeremy Langford said.

The Gamecocks of Jacksonville State have beaten FBS teams in the past and are ranked No. 6 in the FCS, so don’t count this one as a guaranteed win. Head Coach Mark Dantonio considers this one a statement game, and MSU is too talented and deep to let this one become an upset.

This game won’t be the cakewalk that many Spartan fans anticip ate . JSU i s ranked 6th in the country at the FCS level and run a similar, spreadstyle offense that has given MSU trouble in the past. The game should stay close in the first half, but MSU is simply too deep.

Days until football season begins

Continued from page

MSU football hasn’t lost a season opener under Dantonio, but the aim is to not take that for granted against Jacksonville State tonight “Coach D says all the time not to overlook your competition.” The MSU defense can be forgiven if they have Oregon on the mind, the Ducks and the Gamecocks run a very similar offense in style and pace. Senior linebacker Taiwan Jones said playing teams with such similar styles can only help the Spartans. “It is beneficial, both games are going to be good games and we know what we have to do against Jacksonville State,” he said. “Control the tempo and not let it bother us too much. Same thing next week. We’re taking it one game at a time. Anything we see this week we’ll use for next week.” Dual Threat It’s an old football analogy: “if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have any quarterbacks.” The Gamecocks would like to kindly disagree with that assessment. In a position that seems to demand stability more so than any in another sport, Jacksonville State plays two quarterbacks almost equally and was able to win 11 games last season. Eli Jenkins, the first starting quarterback for the Gamecocks, is a redshirt sophomore from Birmingham, Ala. who threw for 887 yards and ran for 953 yards last season. The other quarterback is former Minnesota player Max Shortell, a 6-foot-6 senior from Kansas who was a second team All-OVC player last season. “I think when Shortell is in there, they’re a little more like a traditional passing team, maybe more like Indiana in some regards,” he said. “They’re going to spread you out horizontally and vertically — it’s going to be quick.” A few members of the MSU defense said they didn’t care about playing against two quarter-

backs, and the help of the coaches has made it possible for them to adjust. “I don’t think it’s weird to play against two quarterbacks because of what Coach Narduzzi does to prepare us for that,” senior safety Kurtis Drummond said. “It really comes from film study and trying to understand which quarterback does what best. Having two quarterbacks just prepares you for more.” Jones said in the past he’s played against teams that use two quarterbacks and doesn’t think it will affect what MSU is trying to do on defense. “It’s not really weird; it’s just different,” he said. “You just have to know what both quarterbacks bring to the table.” Go, Go, Go The outside running and speed game of Jacksonville State is something that junior defensive end Shilique Calhoun said he would prefer not to face, but he knows it’s a necessary part of the game. “It just one of those things where you have to give effort,” he said. “You’re not always going to like everything on the football field but you kind of just have to suck it up and play to the best of your abilities.”

“I don’t think it’s weird to play against two quarterbacks because of what Coach Narduzzi does to prepare us for that.” Kurtis Drummond, safety

The takeaway from both Calhoun and Dantonio is pretty simple — it’s time to start hitting other people, and both are very excited about it. “I can’t wait, honestly,” Calhoun said. “It’s good to go up against different guys.” Dantonio spoke about the relief that accompanies the end of camp in his weekly press conference on Tuesday. “Certainly it becomes a grind, as you go through camp, and you have anywhere between 22 and 27, 28 practices before you hit your first game,” he said. “We’re ready to play a football game. I think every team in America is right now.”

Opinion Things are changing for the better here at The State News By Celeste Bott cbott@statenews.com

Notice anything new this week? If you’re a returning student, you’ve probably realized that the newspapers on the stands recently look radically different from issues years or even weeks past. The State News has switched to a tabloid format, making it easier for our readers to carry and read on the go. Furthermore, we’ve undergone a redesign and you’re seeing new fonts, features

and story formats for the very first time. Our goal this year is to use statenews.com to keep you informed as things happen, and our print product to contextualize those headlines for your daily lives as students, faculty and community members. To make this possible, we have a larger staff than we’ve had in years, with fresh faces in our editorial, advertising, photography and creative departments. A diverse community

requires nothing less than an equally diverse newsroom. And our early issues have focused on the new chapter this school year brings and how our readers are preparing for the changes ahead. And man, can we relate to that. To MSU and East Lansing newcomers, I hope you’ll find us to be a useful resource as you adjust to a new life in a new town. To

Your campus marketplace! statenews.com/classifieds

those returning, I encourage you to keep visiting the newsstands around campus to see our new design for yourselves, and give us your feedback along the way. I know I can speak for the entire staff when I say we couldn’t be more excited to be MSU’s revamped independent voice: breaking news, explaining trends and issues in student life and giving you play-by-plays of MSU’s Rose Bowl-winning football team this fall. In fact, be sure to visit our website this weekend, as the Spartans play Jacksonville State at home in the first night game of the season. We’ll also be on the scene next weekend when MSU takes on Oregon,

one of the biggest college football games this year. I hope you’ve enjoyed your first week of classes, even if all you did was listen to your professors ramble on about the items on the syllabus. Have fun — but be safe — this weekend. And in the quiet moments in between, pick up the latest copy of The State News to stay up-to-date on the stories that matter most at this school you now call home. Remember, it’s okay to be nervous in times of new beginnings. Almost everyone is, and State Newsers are no exception. But we’re thrilled to see everything the future holds, and I hope that you are too.

Cornhole set and a football Grab your tailgate buddies and stay entertained until kick-off. Hint: your hand-eye coordination improves the more you drink.

2 MSU Jell-O shots and beer To get riled up for the Spartan Dawgs, mix up some green Jell-O shots and grab all the beer you can carry. For extra spirit, head to Amazon. com and get Spartan Jell-O molds. 3 Koozies, coolers and solo cups Drinks are important and must be kept cold with coolers and Koozies. Solo cups are great for games like flip cup and beer pong, but remember to drink responsibly.

4 Dress for the weather Rain or shine, tailgates must go on. Keep yourself warm with hats, scarves and hand warmers during those bitterly cold fall games, and wear sunglasses for sunny days. Go Green! 5 Grill, grilling accessories, food Hot dogs, sausages, hamburgers, chips and salsa. You need energy so you can cheer with a full stomach — don’t forget napkins to wipe the ketchup off your shirt. 6 Folding chairs and a tent These will help you to relax before the game and get away from sun, rain or snow. Extra points if the chair has cup holders.
