The marching band forms the letters “MAC” at the homecoming football game on Nov. 5, 1921. MSU didn’t change its name to Michigan State University until January 1, 1964, and went through two different names between M.A.C. and MSU. On May 1, 1925, the school became Michigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and was changed to Michigan State University of Agriculture and Applied Science on July 1, 1955.

LARCENY Late on Sept. 26 to early on Sept. 27, a 20-yearold male, unaffiliated with MSU, told the story of his long night which ended in robbery. He told police he was meeting with a friend at a gas station before coming to MSU. After parting ways, the next memory he has is waking up at Sparrow Hospital. A jogger had found him lying outside the MSU Union. Apparently, he took an unknown substance from an unknown stranger. He reported his wallet, his cell phone and work clothes were stolen.

THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOMECOMING WEEK: Sparty’s Flag Find will be taking place throughout all of homecoming week, Monday through Friday. The MSU Alumni Association is hosting Sparty’s Flag Find every afternoon during Homecoming week. Students will have to find flags that will be placed at a secret location on campus. The students who locate, retrieve and return the flag to the MSU Alumni Association office, located on the third floor of the Spartan Stadium tower, will win a prize. The clues to find the flags will be posted on the Association of Future Alumni Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts at 12:00 p.m. each day.
DOMESTIC BATTERY Between Sept. 19 and Sept. 20, a 19-year-old male student assaulted his 19-year-old male student roommate. The subject suspected the victim of stealing his wallet so he punched him in the chest. In a twist of fate, he found his wallet just afterwards. He did apologize for the misunderstanding and the case has been forwarded to the Ingham County Prosecutor’s Office for review. DISTRIBUTION OF MARIJUANA Two individuals, neither of whom are affiliated with MSU, were stopped by police on Grand River Avenue at 11:57 p.m. on Sept. 28. The 21-yearold male was driving without a license and was released, while the 20-year-old male from Lansing was found to have a warrant out of Eaton County for distribution of marijuana. He was processed and turned over to Eaton County.

For Homecoming, MSU football looks to both the past and future BY MATTHEW ARGILLANDER MARGILLANDER@STATENEWS.COM
When No. 2-ranked MSU (4-0 overall) takes the field this weekend against Purdue (1-3 overall) it will be the first Big Ten game of the season, but also something more. Saturday marks the 100th edition of the annual Homecoming game for the Spartans. “We talk in terms of Michigan State football and tradition and tradition around this country, Michigan State is one of those places that has a great tradition,� Dantonio said. “So to be a part of this 100th Homecoming, it is spe-
cial. This university has been on the map a long time. With that comes a lot of things that have been around for a long, long time. This will be one of them.� WHAT IT MEANS For Dantonio and his players, Homecoming is an opportunity to reunite the Spartan family and spend time with familiar faces. “I do look forward to seeing our players when they come back,� Dantonio said. Some of them come back every now and then, periodically, but for me, that’s what Homecoming is. It’s our players coming back. I think in a large university like this,

I’m sure every segment of the university has people coming back and it’s special for me.� For junior linebacker Riley Bullough, Homecoming is an opportunity to hear from the former Spartans who laid the
foundation for today’s success. “Homecoming means a lot,� Bullough said. “We’re going to have a lot of former teammates here that we’ll see, former friends and the teammates that set the foundation for our
program and how it is now. Whenever we can see them and have them speak to us it means a lot.� Senior defensive end Shilique Calhoun is taking it one game at a time. He admitted that it

is hard not to think about his time coming to an end. “I just try to embrace my friends, embrace the moments instead of focusing on (the fact) that my time is deteriorating here,� Calhoun said. “I try to embrace each and every day, embrace the practices that we have, but there’s always going to be that time clock in my head.� Calhoun said he didn’t realize how special Homecoming is until just recently. He also talked about how special it is to be playing in the 100th edition of the game likening it to playing in and winning the 100th edition of the Rose Bowl. “I don’t think I realized Homecoming was such a big game until this year,� Calhoun said. “It’s such a big moment, a lot of the alumni to come back to experience that college life again and witness a game or to be on campus again. ..I think it’s going to be a sad moment (for me), but at the same time if we get a win, I’ll be pretty happy.� The weekend will also serve as an opportunity for MSU to welcome the 1965-‘66 team back to campus. The 1965-‘66 team will be honored at halftime and the 1990 Big Ten Championship Team will also be in East Lansing for their 25 year reunion. THE MATCHUP Purdue is a team that has always played MSU tough, but that is unlikely this year. Purdue opened the season with a 10-point loss to Marshall. In week three they suffered a lopsided 51-24 loss to Virginia Tech and just last week they were defeated by MAC opponent Bowling Green. The Boilermakers only win this season came against FCS opponent Indiana State. The Spartans won’t look past the Boilermakers because it is an important step toward their ultimate goals of winning a Big Ten Championship and a national championship. “The Big Ten play is what we preach about all offseason and Purdue, a quality opponent who’s played us tough, is the first stepping stone to getting to Indianapolis,� Bullough said. For senior center Jack Allen, the team’s long-term goals start with short-term goals. “You’ve got to get (to the Big Ten Championship) to get to the next step,� Allen said. “I’ve always been a person that hasn’t looked past anyone or

anything, you just take it a step at a time and right now our goal is just to win our side of the conference and we’re taking it a week at a time.” Allen said with Big Ten play things get a bit more intense and ultimately this is what some guys came to MSU to do. “I’m excited about it, it’s fun playing teams you don’t usually play,” Allen said. “But, at the same time we came here to play and we want to play some Big Ten teams. Everything is going to get amped up this week.”

Acclaimed composer and MSU alumnus returns BY RILEY MURDOCK RMURDOCK@STATENEWS.COM
David Maslanka, author of more than 130 works, including 40 wind ensemble pieces, seven symphonies, 15 concertos and many concert pieces. A sparkling example of hard work and dedication to his craft. Acclaimed composer and MSU alumnus returned this week for a guest residency with the MSU College of Music. Before he was a celebrated songwriter with 50 years experience, responsible for widely celebrated works like “Symphony #4,” “Mother Earth,” and “Give Us This Day.” Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Maslanka’s musical career began as a clarinetist in 4th grade. Maslanka said he found opportunities to play as he became more and more proficient, the most important of which came in high school. “I took lessons at New England Conservatory, and I also played in what was called the Great Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra, which was a great high school-level orchestra. And so I think that experience pushed me in the direction of music, and also (made me begin) thinking about composing,” Maslanka said.
Maslanka went on to attend the Oberlin College Conservatory of Music, a wellknown music school in Ohio, where he said he began his studies in clarinet and in composition. “My actual degree was in education, music education,” Maslanka said. “But my interests at the time were not toward that, more toward composing.” After graduating from Oberlin, Maslanka’s sights turned to East Lansing — he began attending MSU for graduate studies. He said some personal connections were what first brought MSU to his attention. “My piano teacher at Oberlin had a son named Conrad Owens, and he was in school here (at MSU) studying with (Elsa Ludewig-Verdehr),” Maslanka said. Ludewig-Verdehr is an internationally recognized clarinetist who was named a University Distinguished Professor by MSU in 1997. “Elsa Ludewig(-Verdehr), who was and still is a teacher at clarinet here after all these years, was a graduate of Oberlin College not too many years before me, so there was that connection,” he said. Guest composer David Maslanka, right, looks over the music as conductor Kevin Sedatole, left, conducts the Wind Symphony during a rehearsal on Wednesday, in Wharton Center’s Cobb Great Hall.

Homecoming Senior finds place on Homecoming court BY MCKENNA ROSS MROSS@STATENEWS.COM
When human resource management senior Mariam Alamiri came to MSU from Saudi Arabia in August 2012, she had one goal — to find herself. Only a few short months into her freshman year, she learned just how she would do that. Alamiri met her husband at MSU – he was on the Homecoming court in 2012. She attended the parade with him and realized she could find herself by being on the court. “When I saw him there, I had a realization that in order to be there, I had to do so much to grow up as a person and to affect everybody around me in the community,” Alamiri said. “I promised myself that I wanted to grow up. It was a goal for me that by senior year, I wanted to be in the homecoming court.” From then on, Alamiri said she worked toward bettering herself and her community. She became involved in the Multi-Racial Unity Living Experience as a student leader, has been an intercultural aide for the past two years and has held various positions as mentors, interns and community service chairs. She said she became this involved to affect her community as much as possible. “Really my goal was to change at least one person’s life,” Alamiri said. “If I did change that life, I would feel that I have a reason to be here. Because even if you change one soul, that one soul is gonna change another soul and the process keeps going. I don’t feel like I’m leaving this place without changing at least one life.” Alamiri said she feels as though she’s achieved that through

her job as an intercultural aide. She said she’s glad to support and help others and give them the resources to change and succeed. The homecoming court has duties beyond this week. Alamiri and other members of the court will attend alumni events throughout the 2015-2016 year. This week, however, is what is on Alamiri’s mind. She said she is most looking forward to the parade and the game. Both events will have the court honored. At the game they will go on the field during halftime. “I’m kind of nervous about that part,” she said. “I don’t want to slip and fall, and if it’s rainy or something it’s gonna be very interesting. For the parade, it’s gonna be exciting. I don’t want to come because it’ll come and go away and it’ll be over.” Still, Alamiri is looking toward the future. She graduates in May and already has her flight booked back to Saudi Arabia for mid-May. She said when she gets home, she will work in Human Resources for an oil company. Alamiri said she is happy to have homecoming as a part of her time at MSU as a marker of her success in finding herself--her goal from freshman year. “I feel like (Homecoming court) is a reward for me,” she said. “It’s not the part of being recognized, but the fact that I can leave this place proud of what I did and who I am. I finally achieved the reason for why I’m here. For me, Homecoming was my clue that I’m in that stage right now. So Homecoming I would say is the last chapter of my journey at MSU.”
