2014 football season tickets sale second highest in MSU history Still reeling in the benefits of a Big Ten and Rose Bowl Championship, MSU football has now seen its season ticket totals reach a near record high. According to MSU athletics, 61,931 season ticket packages have been sold for the 2014 season. Season ticket sales for 2014 make up 83 percent of Spartan Stadium’s capacity (75,005). It is the second highest total in program history, trailing only the 63,831 sold for the 2012 season after MSU’s appearance in the inaugural Big Ten championship. In comparison to the historic 2013 season a year ago, season ticket sales are up 4,211, or sev-
en percent. This now marks the seventh time that MSU has seen season ticket sales over 60,000, all coming after the 1999 season. In addition, student-season tickets reached its full capacity at 14,000 the highest total since the 16,000 sold during the 1988 season. While the totals are a great sign of where the program is heading, MSU has consistently ranked among the nation’s best when it comes to football attendance. MSU has ranked in the NCAA Top 25 for attendance each of the last 58 seasons. — Jonathon Chun

Students, look to the west where Grand River Avenue splits into Michigan Avenue. Focus your eyes beyond that fine border known as the Frandor Shopping Center. You can see your state Capitol standing tall and proud in the distance and all around it is a whole city to explore. Yet many just pass it by. Lansing and East Lansing are unquestionably two separate cities, but they blend so seamlessly together that a casual observer might mistake them for one. Each has its own police force, post office, city council and subcultures that both define and separate them from each other. Having distinct identities is as important to the two cities as it is in a romantic relationship. But neither that, nor a clear city limit has to restrict people from experiencing them both. Of course, the concept of the comfort zone is at play here. East Lansing residents are happy in East Lansing, and the same is true for Lansing residents. East Lansing’s culture is very familiar and safe, and crime rates are considerably lower than in Lansing. But don’t let that fool you into thinking Lansing is a dangerous place. It just has its bad eggs like any other city. Lansing has some great draws. Let’s start with the bars. Whether you’re into clubs with loud music and dancing, or quiet dives where the conversations are enough to make the open mic singer seem invisible, Lansing has a place for you. And it’s likely on Michigan Avenue. Just hop on the CATA bus headed downtown and you’ll be at any of those places within 10 minutes. With great bars come great food, and Lansing definitely isn’t short of restaurants. If you’re looking for breakfast, check out Golden Harvest, Fleetwood Diner, Theio’s Restaurant and The Soup Spoon Cafe. El Oasis, a small TexMex taco truck, and Dagwood’s Tavern and
Grill with burgers and fries are other culinary highlights. Food and drink aside, what really makes Lansing worth attention is the people. You’ll find a wonderful culture of men and women looking to get the most out of life and to share it with good company. Though there’s plenty to entertain you in East Lansing, take a step outside sometimes. Two cities that are side-by-side and open for exploration is something to take advantage of.

MSU Dairy Store to introduce new football-themed flavors By Ian Martin Imartin@statenews.com
Buckeye Blitz, Dantonio’s Double Fudge Fake and Illini Orange Crush are just a few of the Big Ten theme-flavored ice cream at the MSU Dairy Store. While these flavors might be favorites of hungry Spartans, dairy store regulars should keep an eye out for new flavors this fall. Throughout the football season, the dairy store plans to unveil an ice cream flavor for each Big Ten football team MSU will play. “This fall is special because we have those new flavors coming,” said biomedical lab diagnostics senior Morgan Tuthill, the dairy store’s supervisor at Anthony Hall. “They’re not released yet. They’re probably going to be released closer to when we actually play those teams.” The Anthony Hall location of the dairy store rotates 32 different flavors of ice cream, while the Union location rotates 20, but the MSU Dairy Store as a whole has more than 40 different flavors. Tuthill said there will be more flavors in the winter, but the current customer favorites for this fall are Sesquicentenni-
al Swirl and Spiced Pumpkin. She cited her personal favorites, White Chocolate Raspberry Swirl and Wildcat Crunch, as the hidden gems of the dairy store. When football Saturdays approach at the MSU Dairy Store, fan loyalty runs deeper than just rooting for their team on game day. “A lot of people come in and really like that it has all the Big Ten flavors,” Tuthill said. “That’s a huge thing. I feel like that draws a lot of people here, especially on game days. People are always wanting the flavor of their team. Some people won’t even look at any other flavor besides their team, even if they hate the flavor. It’s a little ridiculous.” Also, now that the fall semester has started and the cold weather is rolling in, students can finally head over to the MSU Dairy Store for Grilled Cheese Mondays and soup. Ice cream still is available, although true Spartans may want to stay away from the Maize-N-Berry. Tuthill said Grilled Cheese Mondays are a hit once the fall semester starts. “We go crazy on Grilled Cheese Mondays,” Tuthill said. “That’s a big thing; you get a free tomato soup.”

Residents of East Lansing will have the opportunity to recycle their clothing at the curb by the end of October. East Lansing’s Environmental Services Administrator Catherine DeShambo said that Simple Recycling, a company dedicated to recycling household appliances and clothing, would start operating in East Lansing soon. DeShambo said this new program would give more options to residents when discarding their recyclable materials. “This is an opportunity to allow our residents a very easy and simple way to recycle simple household goods such as clothing, textile, bedding and small appliances,” DeShambo said. DeShambo still recognized the option of donating the textiles to a local charity. “(East Lansing residents) certainly are welcome to continue to donate those items to a local Goodwill or the Salvation Army,” DeShambo said. “But this is yet another option.” The items collected by Simple Recycle are later sold to partner thrift stores around the U.S. The program will run along with the city’s curbside recycling program. “(We want) reuse or recycling and make it very easy for our
WednesDAY, SE PT E MB E R 1 7, 2 01 4
residents to do that right along with their curbside residential recycling,” DeShambo said. Although the program has not started in the city yet, Scott Brady’s long-term project will be trying to involve MSU in the program. “I will really like to get the university involved with all the students who are residents of East Lansing,” Brady said. “That will be my next phase to start working directly with the college.” The program will be free for residents. The city will not pay for the program either. Packaging freshman Jake Baird said that he would be willing to participate in the program if it will help others. “Sounds good, as long as it helps someone,” Baird said. Cardboard is one of the materials that are easy to recycle because of the use of it. However, the city of East Lansing curbside recycling program does not collect cardboard or boxboard on their weekly trips. Cardboard and boxboard are not recycled in the program because of the volume of the materials recycled and the size of the vehicles used to transport them, DeShambo said. “We are in the process of purchasing new recycling trucks that will be automated and will have greater volume capacity,” DeShambo said.

Award-winning NPR co-host speaks about race to RCAH students by megan cochrane mcochrane@statenews.com
Michele Norris, a former co-host of NPR’s show “All Things Considered” and Peabody Award winner, spoke to students Monday afternoon in the intimate setting of the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities Theatre in the basement of Snyder-Phillips Hall. Norris’s talk centered around The Race Card Project, which she said invites people to participate in a conversation about race that is candid, revealing, often painful but enlightening. “It’s hard to talk about race … because we keep saying it’s hard to talk about race,” Norris said. After writing her first book, “The Grace of Silence: A Memoir”, Norris said she went on tour and began the project as a way to spark a conversation, often leaving her black postcards at airports and bookshops during her book tour. “We ask people to send in their thoughts about race in just six words,” Norris said. “I didn’t know if people would do it, but rather immediately the cards started to come back.” Not long after that, Norris said, the cards got so interesting she wanted to display them. Thus, a

rudimentary website was born that has been updated and upgraded into the interactive site that it is now. “As a journalist, it was just a gold mine to be able to get close to conversations that just wouldn’t be possible (otherwise),” Norris said. Several students in the audience participated by sharing their six words about race and the stories attached to them. One student chose the words, “culture, division, matu-
rity, confusion, wisdom, responsibility” to describe their thoughts on race. Norris, herself, shared a sentiment about race with the audience. She said she often found herself as the first, the only, or one of a small group of individuals like herself in her business. Norris said, “It can feel like a burden always having to represent.”
When asked about advice for others who need encouragement to join the conversation, Norris said, “Be patient. Give them space to tell their story. And be curious. You can honor someone with your curiosity.” Afterward, RCAH freshman Allison Doxey said her reaction to the talk, particularly the discussion about cruel comments on stories posted on Norris’ website, was that if you have not experienced different treatment due to your race, then maybe you should not be part of the conversation. RCAH junior and intercultural aide Michelle Perkowski said she took away the idea that there are different ways to get others involved in conversations about race who might not think of participating or feel they don’t have anything to share or learn. Perkowski also said she went to get more information for the Multi-Racial Unity Living Experience group, and that she hopes attending this event will help her facilitate discussion among people attending. “Everyone has a right to tell their story,” Norris said. “Some voices may be louder. Some voices may be greater in number, but all voices are valid.”
Officials share tips to help keep students and their belongings safe By Olivia Dimmer odimmer@statenews.com
When it comes to staying safe on campus, some simple suggestions can be crucial to protecting students. Every year, campus officials make sure to stress key tips for new and returning students’ safety. Avoi d m a k i ng you r sel f a target MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor said MSU police constantly deal with personal property theft crimes. Students should never leave their belongings alone, she added. “If you’re in the library and you get up to take a break from studying, have a friend watch your belongings or take them with you,” McGlothian-Taylor said. Locking bikes securely to the bike rack and threading the lock through the tire and frame can also prevent thefts.
Transportation safety One of the biggest issues this year has been with biker safety, McGlothian-Taylor said. With two major bike accidents occurring within weeks of school starting, McGlothian-Taylor advises bikers to abide by the rules of the road. Bikers should always be using bike lanes and paths, and never ride in the sidewalk. This is where most of the collisions happen, McGlothian-Taylor said. Additionally, bikers should use turn signals and dismount their bikes if they are using a crosswalk. Besides biking, students should utilize other transportation options to keep safe, especially at night. The CATA Night Owl service transports students between campus buildings at night, and services are available at the main library at night. “Just use the buddy system,” McGlo-
thian-Taylor said. “Make certain to look out for each other.” Lock your doors, even if you are only leaving for a moment While it might seem obvious, this can mean the difference between coming back to the room as it was left, or coming back to find all the valuables gone. In addition, Safety and Security Services Coordinator for Residence Education and Housing Services Natisha Foster advises students to not prop their doors open. Be aware of your surroundings Noting nearby emergency green light phones and knowing where to go in case of an emergency can help students be prepared and feel more secure on campus. Foster also advises students to look out for one another, echoing sentiments campus officials have given throughout last year — “if you see something, say something.”

Goalkeeping runs deep in Clem family BY JOHN NEIDHART jneidhart@statenews.com
L
ast Friday, the MSU women’s soccer team and then-No. 9 Wisconsin kicked off their Big Ten seasons in a tough opener. The Spartans and Badgers are certainly familiar with one another, but two individuals involved in the game knew each other like sisters. Courtney Clem, MSU’s redshirt senior starting goalkeeper, had the rare opportunity to see her sister, Caitlyn Clem, on the opposite bench. Caitlyn Clem is a redshirt freshman for Wisconsin and because the Badgers already have a solid fifth-year senior in net, she did not see any playing time. Throughout the game, Caitlyn Clem had some mixed emotions from the visiting sideline and wasn’t quite sure how to handle watching her sister’s terrific play in goal. “It was weird,” Caitlyn Clem said. “I didn’t know whether to cheer when she made a good save or be upset about it.” The two teams were tied at one at the end of regulation and needed overtime to decide a winner. Wisconsin squeaked a goal past Courtney Clem near-post to clinch the win one minute into overtime. After the game, the sisters and their parents met up for pictures in what was a unique moment for the two girls. “We just looked at each other and knew to let it go,” Caitlyn Clem said of their post-game reunion. “It didn’t matter what happened at that point. Courtney always does a good job leaving the past in the past and focusing on the future.” It was certainly a tough loss for Courtney Clem and MSU, but the meeting between the sisters itself speaks volumes about the weight the Clem name now carries. The sisters also have a cousin named Lauren Clem, who is a freshman at Northwestern and is the women soccer team’s starting goalkeeper. Beginning of a legacy Courtney Clem and Caitlyn Clem both picked up soccer at a young age, despite the fact that their parents were neither soccer players nor fans of the game themselves. Their father, Dean Clem, was an athlete and he played college football as an offensive lineman for Grand Valley State University. Everything he knew about soccer came from playing the game during college intramurals. Their mother, Debra Clem, does not have an athletic background, so both parents were unfamiliar with the game that their daughters soon began to love. “I started playing pick-up and they didn’t even know what soccer was at that point,” Courtney Clem said. “They just wanted me to follow my dreams, and actually when I was 10, it was my goal to play at Michigan State. They just kind of stuck behind me as I worked toward that goal.” According to Dean Clem, when Courtney Clem was in elementary school, the Clem family switched over to the Williamston school district. One of the mothers from the local recreation league suggested to Courtney Clem that she play

soccer. They allowed her to play and soon realized that the recreation league was not competitive enough for their daughter. TNT Dynamite Soccer Club was searching for a goalie and a defender, and Courtney Clem started training to fill this need. The Clem parents quickly learned soccer as their eldest daughter began to excel. At that point, soccer became a common element in the family’s daily life and Caitlyn Clem picked up the game as well. As the two began to play competitively, they started working with each other to improve their game. “We would always go and practice in the yard,” Courtney Clem said about working with her younger sister. “If she needed some brushing up, I would help her out and she would help me out.” Kicking it up a notch The sisters began training together and, according to Caitlyn Clem, Courtney Clem provided support and motivation that was vital to both of their success. “She’s always been there from day one,” Caitlyn Clem said. “She’s a teacher. She got me in the gym everyday, even when I didn’t want to be there. She’s always had a ‘just get it done’ mentality and that really helped me.” At Williamston High School, the Clem sisters sit atop most of the All-Time goalkeeper school records. Caitlyn Clem’s 17 shutouts in 2012 give her the most in one season — just one more than Courtney Clem’s 16 shutouts in 2008. Courtney Clem did give up the fewest goals per game however, allowing only .5 goals per contest in 2008. “When you’ve got someone of that caliber in net, it helps the team out a lot,” said Jim Flore, head coach of Williamston High School women’s soccer team. Flore coached Courtney Clem on the varsity team for four years and he coached Caitlyn Clem for another three. In watching their skills develop for nearly a decade, he noted that they both had an incredible work ethic on and off the field. They aren’t the first sisters that he’s coached, but they are the first that have both ended up at a
fac t Courtney and Caitlyn Clem claim most of the All-Time goalkeeper records at Williamston High School
Division I university. Flore added the sisters were both vocal and taught the players around them. “They’re kind of like quarterbacks in goal — they’re very verbal,” Flore said. Although both girls dominated in high school, they made sacrifices and sometimes missed out on opportunities that their classmates enjoyed, such as homecoming dances and football games. Courtney even gave up playing high school basketball to focus exclusively on soccer. Dean and Debra Clem also made sacrifices to support their children. They drove from Williamston to Wixom at least three times a week, and on weekends they drove cross-country for club soccer tournaments. “It’s quite an investment in time,” Dean Clem said. “You really try to do your family vacations around soccer.” All of that dedication has paid off. Courtney Clem was a three-time First Team AllState player in Michigan, and Caitlyn Clem made Second Team All-State twice before making First Team her senior year of high school. The awards piled on for the Clem sisters, and luckily for their parents, so did the collegiate offers. Her father believes that the work Courtney Clem put in was very helpful to both Caitlyn Clem and her cousin Lauren Clem. Caitlyn Clem was also a four-year member of the Olympic Development Program. She played for the Michigan Hawks as well, one of the top teams in the Elite Clubs National League. “I would say that Courtney paved the way for the Clem name through her participation in the Olympic Development Program,” Dean Clem said. “She got recognized in the summer, played with Michigan Hawks, and then she really got her name out there.”
“I wouldn’t say it’s a competition between us at this point, it’s more of cheering each other on now.” Courtney Clem, women’s soccer redshirt starting senior

her younger sister. The two have competed with each other throughout their lives, but now that they are both collegiate goalkeepers, the sibling rivalry has lessened. “I wouldn’t say it’s a competition between us at this point, it’s more of cheering each other on now,” Courtney Clem said at a practice before last Friday’s game. “Our main years for competition were when we were younger. But definitely with this game on Friday, we’ve been doing a lot of trash talking.” Caitlyn Clem has played just over 80 minutes for the Badgers this year, and has not allowed a goal. She will most likely get the chance to start next year. Lauren Clem was named the Big Ten’s Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 9. Courtney Clem was the reigning two-time Defensive Player of the Week, before her cousin won the honor. Lauren Clem is a major reason that Northwestern has gotten off to a respectable 4-2-2 start. Although their daughters have grown to be so talented, Dean and Debra Clem note that their children have earned it the right way. “They’re goal-driven,” Dean Clem said. “They’ve had written goals forever, and they’ve focused on what they want to do. Courtney had it written on her mirror that she wanted to be a goalkeeper in college.” While Courtney and Caitlyn Clem’s goals have already panned out, their younger sister, Madison Clem, is hoping for the same. According to Dean Clem, Madison Clem, a sophomore in high school, is very interested in playing in the Big Ten. The sisters might meet each other again in the next few years, should Madison Clem’s potential Big Ten school meet Caitlyn Clem and the Wisconsin Badgers. The Big Ten is traditionally recognized as one of the most competitive women’s soccer conferences in the country, and one family’s bloodline has helped keep it so in recent years. Th e Stat e N e ws

This week, MSU Trustee candidate Terry Link began his Listening Tour, in which he visited Brody Hall on Monday, Snyder-Phillips Hall on Tuesday and will be visiting Case Hall on Wednesday. Link explained the reason for his tour was to learn what members of the university had to say. In his time at MSU, Link was a founding director of the Office of Campus Sustainability, among several other positions. “I’ve been here for on and off thirty years and I don’t know everything that there is to know,” Link said. “And I don’t know how everyone sees the campus,” he said. He also said this was an opportunity for people to “share with him things they would like to see change, things they’d like to see strengthened, new ideas they might have,
or questions they might have about the campus.” “I think that’s important role a trustee has, to listen,” Link said. Although he acknowledged that so far, not a lot of students have come and talked with him, but he mentioned that while at Brody Hall, he spoke with faculty members. Tuesday followed a similar pattern when assistant professor of teacher education Matt Ferkany and associate professor of philosophy Fred Rauscher spoke with him while having lunch. Link said the main concerns he has heard so far revolve around various costs associated with the university and the use of coal for energy. As a member of the Green Party, the environment is very important to Link. For that reason, Link explained he believes MSU cannot build any more buildings unless they are carbon free. “We need to go carbon-neutral,” Link said. He said that while the
university is committed to this goal and progress is being made, more needs to be done, including decreasing demand for energy and improving efficiency on the production side. However, Link pointed out that his platform goes beyond environmental issues. “The misconception people have about the Green Party or the global green movement is that its just about the environment,” he said. “But there’s ten core values.” “Sustainability is about wholes, connecting all the parts. The university, because of the way we organize… break it into parts. We don’t spend a lot of time putting it back together again,” Link said. “Sustainability is about looking at the whole system...and how we interact and how we move forward with the planet sustaining us and us all prospering. So I bring that kind of orientation to anything I do and have done at the university and will do as a trustee.”

The Department of Theatre’s production of the 60/50 Theatre Project will premiere on Sept. 18 and run until Sept. 28 on the lower level of the Auditorium in Studio 60. This original play, written by Department of Theatre Artistic Director Rob Roznowski, is designed to shares stories about the history of inclusion and diversity at MSU, while specifically focusing on the university’s involvement in human and civil rights. The performance will include fictionalized short scenes based on real events and individuals from MSU’s past, said Dan Smith, assistant professor of theatre studies for the College of Arts and Letters’ Department of Theatre. Smith, who facilitated the collaboration for this production, said these different acts are aimed towards articulating the challenges of civil and human rights that previ-
ously existed on campus. Each scene will end with either a photograph or video from the MSU archives that will further elaborate on the university’s association with historical events. “I think it’s a unique perspective because most of the events for Project 60/50 tend to be lectures and film screenings,” Smith said. “To look at it in a theatrical way gives us a different opportunity to think about things.” Following each performance, there will be a discussion facilitated by the actors.. Tickets can be purchased at the Wharton Center Box Office for $10 or online for $12.50 prior to each show. The ticket office at the Studio 60 Theatre will open up one hour prior to each show and sell tickets based on availability. — Brittanie Chludzinski
How to use Uber Many students find themselves in need of a ride home after a night out with friends. And if no one has cash on them, there’s Uber. Uber is a free smartphone application that allows users to summon a car to their exact location. They pay automatically when Uber charges the credit card linked to their account. To use it, download the app and create an account. When the app is first opened, a map pops up and shows users where Uber drivers are. A pin will appear where the customer is located, but there is also an option to enter an starting address manually. Once the destination address has been entered, the app
WednesDAY, SE PT E MB E R 1 7, 2 01 4
calculates a fare estimate. The closest driver will head over to the customer, who can see the driver’s location in the app and is given a time estimate on the driver’s arrival. If someone requests a car and they are with other people, they can invite them through the app into their fare. Each person is charged an equal amount for the shared ride.. Media and information freshman Luke Olosky said the app is especially useful for freshmen, who are not allowed cars. “Uber is an easy, inexpensive way to get around that eliminates the need to carry cash for cabs,” he said. — Rich Vadasy

After bye week, MSU football sets its sights on Eastern Michigan Head coach Mark Dantonio reacts to the fourth quarter of the game against Oregon on Sept. 6 at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Ore. The Spartans lost to the Ducks, 46-27. PHOTO: JULIA NAGY
By Geoff Preston gpreston@statenews.com
After a long two week layoff following No. 11 MSU’s (1-1 overall) 46-27 loss to No. 2 Oregon (3-0 overall), the Spartans will be back in action this Saturday against Eastern Michigan (1-2 overall) for a 12 p.m. kickoff. On Tuesday, football head coach Mark Dantonio was at the stage for his weekly press conference, when he addressed the bye week, final thoughts after the Oregon loss and keys to beating Eastern Michigan. Bye Week This season’s first bye week mirrors last season’s in many ways for MSU. Last season, when MSU was coming off a close loss on the road from Notre Dame, Dantonio said having a bye week so early in the season isn’t ideal, and especially following a loss to Oregon he sensed his players are ready to get back on the field. “I think any time, here we are at the beginning of the season with the bye after two games, that’s very early in the process,” he said. “I think any time that’s happening, you want to play.” Dantonio said around 70 of his 105 players went home with their weekend off, either to visit relatives or see their old high school teams play. “So they should be fresh,” he said. “We’ll go hard today (Tuesday) in preparation for Saturday’s game, and we will not overlook anybody.”
Oregon loss still looms Even with the Oregon loss coming over a week ago, Dantonio still fielded questions about the loss to the Ducks. Dantonio was asked about Oregon calling a timeout late in the fourth quarter while in Spartan territory, which they would follow with a fourth and two conversion that ended in a touchdown. “I think they called a timeout because they decided to go for it on fourth and two,” he said. “I think... it just sort of happened they scored the touchdown.” Dantonio said he thought going for it on fourth down was a smart coaching decision aimed at putting the Spartans out of the game. “I think it was probably the smart thing to do rather than risk a field goal off the block,” he said. “But no, I don’t hold it against them or anything like that.” Looking to Eastern MSU faces Eastern Michigan, an opponent that Spartan fans might still be having nightmares about from their 7-6 season in 2012. Eastern Michigan came into Spartan Stadium that year and lead at halftime. MSU needed a rally to beat the Eagles 23-7. Eastern Michigan finished 2-10 that season. “In 2012 we were down 7-6 at the half. We were I think 30-point favorites. Our guys need to come ready to play,” he said. “If there was a message from that press conference, that would be the message. We need to come ready to play. We need to be able to perform.”
After injury to Halle Peterson, freshman Rachel Minarick prepares for larger role By Troy Jefferson tjefferson@statenews.com
No. 25 MSU volleyball (5-3 overall) will have to find a way to pick up the slack left behind after junior setter Halle Peterson dislocated her shoulder. Peterson injured her shoulder during Friday’s game against No. 14 Oregon. There is no timetable for her return. “Halle brings a lot to our team in terms of experience and leadership,” head coach Cathy George said. Peterson enjoyed one of her best games of the season against Oregon before injuring her shoulder, posting a team-high 16 assists. The injury leaves the Spartans thin at the setter position. Freshman Rachel Minarick is the only other setter on the roster. “(An injury) could happen to anyone at any time,” sophomore outside hitter Chloe Reinig said. “We have to be prepared for anyone to go in, that’s our focus this season.” Minarick’s season thus far indicates she is ready to step up. She
has played in 28 of the team’s 29 sets this season and recorded a pair of double-doubles this past weekend. “As a freshman setter you have to find your role and it’s a responsibility (Rachel) has taken on,” senior libero and co-captain Kori Moster said. “It just speeds the process up.” Minarick had 55 assists against Oregon State on Saturday, which is the fourth-highest total by any player in the Big Ten this season. “(Rachel) played so well on Saturday,” Moster said. Minarick was a highly touted prospect coming out of high school, ranking No. 22 among senior aces according to PrepVolleyball.com On the season, Minarick has a .400 hitting percentage, 26 kills, 75 digs and 255 assists. The Spartans will have to lick their wounds quickly as three quality teams come to Jenison Field House for the Auto-Owners Insurance Spartan Invitational this weekend. Two of the three teams MSU welcomes, LIU-Brooklyn (7-3) and UW-Milwaukee (4-6) made the NCAA Tournament last year. The other team is Western Kentucky, which defeated then-ranked No. 8 Purdue last week.

Sports Abby Barker takes home Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors

By Jonathon Chun jchun@statenews.com
Early in the season, there seemed to be a couple of trends that were forming for No. 16 MSU field hockey. Among them, the team consistently found themselves in overtime finishes and always wound up splitting weekend series. This past weekend in Kent, Ohio, the Spartans were able to kick the one trend that means the most. Although MSU did find itself in another overtime contest against Kent State on Saturday, they were able to come from behind and win the game 4-3 behind a game-winning goal from senior midfielder Becky Stiles. Then on Sunday the team put together a great performance and beat Richmond, 6-1. The weekend served as a great confidence boost as MSU opens up Big Ten play this weekend in Columbus against Ohio State. “For us, it’s just confidence,” head coach Helen Knull said. “When you come off a winning weekend, especially two wins in a weekend, and then today Abby (Barker) getting Offensive Player of the Week, and Sierra (Patton) had a great weekend last weekend. Kendal Anderson, a freshman, stepping up and putting two goals in, I think these are all just positives for us moving forward. “It helps just fuel you forward versus when you’ve had a loss, you’re coming back and it’s
“One of our goals is to ‘earn the jersey’ every day. Whether that’s taking extra reps, or pushing your teammates in practice.” Becky Stiles, senior midfielder
kind of ‘what if?’” she said. As Knull mentioned, senior forward Abby Barker was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week by the league on Tuesday. Barker recorded three goals and three assists in the two Spartan victories this weekend, pushing her career total 52 goals and 115 points. Her goals rank her fourth all-time at MSU and her point total is tied for fifth in program history. “As soon as I heard (about the honor), I was just thinking of my teammates,” Barker said. “Starting with Sierra in goal, all the way up through every single line ... and I’m the person in the right place at the right time to finish it in the cage. But it’s a reflection of the work our team has put in.”
For Barker and the rest of her teammates, all of their season goals still lie ahead of them. The first of those is winning the Big Ten championship, and that journey starts this Friday against OSU. While it may seem like this is the biggest game of the season so far, that’s just because these Spartans treat every game that way. “Every single game, coming out giving it everything we’ve got,” Stiles said. “One of our goals is to ‘earn the jersey’ every day. Whether that’s taking extra reps, or pushing your teammates in practice.” MSU will look to “earn the jersey” once again on Friday at 3 p.m. as they head back to Ohio to take on the Buckeyes and kick off Big Ten season.
Women’s soccer optimistic after rough start to Big Ten Freshman forward Jamie Cheslik, who scored a game-tying goal against Wisconsin on Saturday, continues to impress in early portion of season
by john neidhart jneidhart@statenews.com
Despite two losses to open the conference season last weekend, MSU remains optimistic about their chances this fall. The Spartans (6-2 overall, 0-2 Big Ten) started off undefeated in non-conference play and beat some very talented and scrappy teams. They looked determined to gain important wins in the Big Ten this year, but after two losses to Wisconsin and Minnesota, those hopes have momentarily been put on hold. Their national reputation might have taken a hit, but the Spartans believe that they still can compete with anyone in the Big Ten. 10
“We’ll probably have people doubt us, but we’re still in this,” junior defender Mary Kathryn Fiebernitz said. “It’s still really early, but I have a good feeling.” Friday’s game against thenNo. 9 Wisconsin was a physical battle and MSU hung with one of the top teams in the country for 90 minutes before ultimately losing in overtime, 2-1. Head coach Tom Saxton noted that the loss did not feel like a win for the squad, but he realizes it served as validation for their early success. “It confirmed that we are a good team with a lot of potential,” Saxton said. “When we were organized, we defended a dangerous team well. No excuses, we were 1-1 going

into overtime, and we should have had a chance to win it, we just didn’t get it out of our end.” MSU f reshman for ward Jamie Cheslik showed again how important she is to the team’s long-term success. Her goal in the second half of the Wisconsin game tied the match up. It was her team-leading fifth goal of the year and 11th point. “Having Jamie up top is an awesome impact for us,” junior forward Allyson Krause said. “Because we played for the same club team, I’m able to know where she’s running, and she knows where I’m running.” Familiarity with one another is one area in which MSU has improved from last year.

losing only one senior last season, the Spartans’ chemistry is even better now. In the second game of the weekend, Minnesota and MSU played a grinding game for 90 minutes. The Spartans entered another overtime period, before losing on a shot set up by a Minnesota corner kick, 1-0. MSU played without senior midfielder Megan Marsack and redshirt junior forward Lisa Vogel due to injury. Marsack and Vogel are two very important pieces of the team, and they were evidently missed on Sunday. Defensively, the Spartans got after both Wisconsin and Minnesota. According to Saxton, team defending has been
a point of emphasis for years, and the Spartans have done a pretty solid job so far, despite a few late-breakdowns in overtime. If things had bounced differently over the weekend, MSU could be sitting at 2-0 in the conference and potentially a top 25 ranking. That’s exactly why they play the game though, and “almost” winning games will not help the Spartans in the standings. Sooner or later, they will need to take advantage of close games and beat teams at the top of the conference. They have the talent, they have the experience and they still have the confidence, it’s just a matter of putting it all together at this point.

Ink & Needle tattoo and piercing parlor opens next to Rick’s American Café By Rachel Brauer RBRauer@statenews.com

Students interested in getting tattoos or piercings now have more variety, with the opening of Ink & Needle, a new tattoo shop in East Lansing. “This was kind of the last frontier, businesswise,” said owner William Brown, referring to being the only tattoo parlor around aside from Splash of Color on Grand River Avenue. Brown opened Ink & Needle in August. Brown also owns two other shops in Ingham county, Southside Tattoo and Noble Ink, and said he wouldn’t want to do anything else. “Even at the worst days, it’s better than the best day at another job. It doesn’t feel like work when I’m tattooing. It doesn’t matter how many times I do it or how tired I am. I love putting artwork on people and making sure that piece is special to them and seeing that smile on their face,” Brown said. The parlor is located next to Rick’s American Cafe on Abbot Road, which the owners said brings in a lot of people and interesting stories. “We call this the fishbowl because the whole Rick’s line just stares in at us,” said Chelsea Brown, the owner’s daughter. While it is illegal to tattoo or pierce an intoxicated person, there have been some gallant drunken efforts, Brown said. “We’ve been flashed through the window to
show off their piercings that we’ve done. We did have one girl come in during the last (MSU) home game, while she had been drinking all day, who had decided that she was going to join the Peace Corps and wanted the whole map of the world on her back,” Chelsea Brown said. Ink & Needle does get some business from MSU students. “Students don’t want to go off campus. They just won’t,” William Brown said. Bryce Petoskey, a tattoo artist of three years, said some of the most interesting tattoos he’s done so far happened at Ink & Needle. An MSU graduate who is now a personal trainer takes the cake, Petoskey said. “I actually did a carrot sword fighting with a donut with some grapes in the background, and it’s supposed to symbolize health and wellness,” Petoskey said. “Fight against bad habits and things like that.” A frequent customer, Jason Chavez, who is currently in the process of getting a sleeve done by both the owner and Petoskey, said he’s had a good experience at Ink & Needle. “We’ve been looking for a tattoo artist to fit our needs. We’ve been through a handful of tattoo artists before we found this shop,” Chavez said. “I like the versatility and the mood . . . this is the kind of shop that fits a person’s needs, not just taking the money and saying, ‘Yeah, let me put whatever you want.’ I love the work they do.”

Features MSU sororities gain new sisters from bid day By Meagan Beck mbeck@statenews.com

Counting down from 10, anxious girls awaited the moment when they were able rip open their envelopes and finally find out who their new sisters would be. The 14 Panhellenic sororities on campus celebrated the end of recruitment during bid day. Bid day is an important day for all current and future members of greek letter organizations alike because it is when new members are invited to join. On the final day of recruitment, preference day, women visit their top sorority picks and indicate which organization they prefer. The Panhellenic Council collects cards with the women’s picks and disperses them to the houses and if there is a match between the chapter and potential new member, she will be invited to become a sister. During the moments leading up to the big reveal, biosystems engineering sophomore Hannah Guyer said she was both nervous and excited to receive her bid card after two weeks of recruitment. “Recruitment was a lot of long days but it was definitely exciting,” Guyer said. “I just don’t know what to expect and to go through — this is kind of crazy.” The Rho Gammas, or recruitment counselors,
distributed bid cards to their groups of girls who went through the recruitment process. With large greek letter signs and matching shirts, flower crowns and bows, all the Panhellenic sororities gathered to welcome the women they have chosen to become members of their sorority. President of Zeta Tau Alpha and social relations and policy senior Lindsey Darling said she has been looking forward to the day for a long time. “It’s probably the best day of the year in sorority world,” Darling said. “It’s so fun because we finally get a chance to see all the new members in our house, celebrate what it means to be a Zeta and move forward with the rest of the year.” During the celebration, 75 Rho Gammas also revealed which house they are members of and had been disaffiliated with during the recruitment process to help potential new members find their fit. Rho Gamma and interdisciplinary studies senior Rachel Blair said having new members is exciting. "(Bid day) is like Christmas because we get to have all these new sisters,” Blair said. After the bid day festivities at the Rock, the sisters went to their chapter houses to welcome the new members home.

The girls are part of the Chi Omega sorority.
