MSU synchronized skating preps for season BY KATIE KALASS KKALASS@STATENEWS.COM
Since the age of three, political science prelaw junior Christine Burke has been performing on ice. “I started skating at my grandparents’ house on the lake,” Burke said. “My mom put a pair of skates on me and I instantly knew that’s what I wanted to do.” With so few premier collegiate synchronized skating teams in the country, Burke knew she belonged on the MSU Synchronized Skating Team. After placing third in the U.S. Synchronized Skating Championship in 2014, Burke said the team is looking to further their success this season. “To get better we need to go 100 percent at every practice and keep a positive attitude no matter what,” Burke said. The team trains at Munn Ice Arena about three days a week. Practices normally consist of six hours on ice, two hours off ice and an hour workout. “The hardest part about practice is when we are learning or trying something new for the first time, and it isn’t working out the way my coach envisioned it,” economics senior Miranda Shaver said. “Especially after a long day at school, something not working right can get frustrating.” “My teammates are my best friends and I feel like I learn something new from them everyday, both on and off the ice,” Shaver said.
Anthropology junior and team secretary Katelyn Dalla Valle said teamwork is key to their success. “I love having the support system away from home of my team,” Dalla Valle said. “We are all a big family and I feel like I always have people there for me.” Head coach and MSU alumna Laura Sienkowski also emphasizes the importance of practice to her skaters. “My goal for the team is to skate at competitions the exact same way they do at practice,” Sienkowski said. “To skate with aggression, attack their elements as a team, and bring a presence to the ice that draws in not only the judging panel, but the audience as well.” Sienkowski said her love of coaching grows more and more each season. “Each season brings something new — new challenges, new personalities, new ways of coaching,” Sienkowski said. “Each year I get skaters with all different skating backgrounds and competitive histories, and it is my job to unify the different skating styles into one.” According to the team’s Facebook page, recruitment and auditions occur in April. But individual auditions can be arranged anytime. The MSUSST’s first competition will take place in Ann Arbor at the beginning of December. The other collegiate competitions continue throughout the winter until the first week of March.

Saturday night revelries short-lived thanks to East Lansing police officers BY CAMERON MACKO CMACKO@STATENEWS.COM
After MSU’s last-second victory over University of Michigan Saturday night, Cedar Village, a sight of many post-game celebrations, erupted in cheers. From MSU’s fight song, profanity-laden chants against U-M and Jim Harbaugh, a couch fire and the return of the bagels, Cedar Village was lit up with a celebratory atmosphere. A crowd sprung up immediately after the game, at first staying on the sidewalk and blasting music from various apartments as police arrived almost at the same time as the crowd. MSU police arrived first and since Cedar Village falls in the East Lansing Police Department’s jurisdiction, were there mainly to watch the crowd until ELPD could arrive. Police said they wouldn’t move in until something illegal occurred, preferring to let the crowd celebrate. Several police cruisers were in the area. The first crowd self-dispersed and less than 20 minutes later, a firetruck rolled into Cedar Village to put out a couch fire near where the
crowd was initially celebrating. Later, a second crowd emerged in an area closer to Bogue Street. At one point the crowd was shouting, “Burn the Couch,” as they poured into the middle of the road with certain enthusiastic MSU fans crowd-surfing. Police stayed off to the sidelines until the end when the crowd started throwing bagels, the famous symbol of Cedar Village during last Spring’s March Madness, in the middle of the road and quickly dispersed the group. Police calmly walked toward the group and waved them off. Cedar Village quick ly died dow n just afterwards.

Emotions run high following lastsecond rivalry victory for MSU is the feeling which ensued. It was 10 seconds of pure irony. It summed up the season thus far — special teams, injury and destiny.
BY MATTHEW ARGILLANDER AND RYAN KRYSKA MARGILLANDER@STATENEWS.COM RKRYSKA@STATENEWS.COM
There are football games, there are great football games, and then there is what happened Saturday night. “The game is over and then that happened,” fifth-year senior quarterback Connor Cook said. The stomachs of Spartan fans went through a wave of emotions, together, but what will unite them forevermore
OH, SNAP The score is 23-21, U-M, and the Wolverine fans in Michigan Stadium are ready to explode. There are press box rumors which say the U-M police are going to allow a storming of the field. The Wolverines are in punt formation and ready to squander the Spartans’ chances with the Aussie-style punting by graduate transfer punter Blake O’Neill. “[O’Neill] dropped the ball, I don’t know if they would have blocked, I don’t think (we) would have blocked it,” MSU head coach Mark Dantonio said. Eight Spartans are seven yards or less away, all sprinting to the ball with their ears pinned back. “I just blitzed off the edge and I hit the punter as he was fumbling it, Matt Morrissey and I, and he fumbled it and I was on the ground and I just saw Jalen taking off,” freshman safety Grayson Miller said. SEVEN SECONDS LEFT Sophomore defensive back Jalen Watts-Jackson is in the right place at the right time.

the U-M 38-yard line. “I was hoping that one of our guys was going to get tackled, you know, soon as we could kick a field goal with the clock stopped,” Cook said. “Then he just kept running and running and running.” DOWN TO ZERO Watts-Jackson gets a key block by senior defensive back Arjen Colquhoun, cuts to his right, and is tackled into the endzone as time expires. The score is now 27-23, MSU, and the Spartans are now 7-0. “And then everyone rushed the field and honestly this felt like a dream,” Cook said. “I was running over to our student section, our parent section, to go celebrate with my family and I jumped up there and it honestly, I’ve never felt anything like that. It honestly just felt like I was in a dream like completely crazy.” It is with unparalleled irony that the Spartans won Saturday’s miraculous game. A punt recovery play won the game in a season where special teams has troubled the MSU team, and the return touchdown by Watts-Jackson was just as telling, as he went down with a season-ending hip break after being tackled into the endzone — adding another season-ending injury for the Spartans. It has just been a season — an era — of destiny. “If we lost, we lost, but I knew that we played as hard as we could and we left it on the field,” Dantonio said. “I want to congratulate Michigan, they’re a good football team, great football team.”

into the game for how well they were playing, how they shut out three consecutive teams. ... A win in general would (have given) us momentum, but for it to end like this I think it will really ignite us,” Cook said. “It just bring you closer together (and) we’re already a tight-knit group.” The special teams are a huge concern going forward, but a win unlike any other over a highly ranked and hyped rival team should give MSU a large confidence boost. “If we would have came in here with a loss I would’ve said ‘hey we’ve got to play better on special teams,’” Dantonio said. “Because (Jabrill) Peppers was outstanding, he made plays, he changed the field position in the game. “We said we had to come up with plus one big play on special teams, so we just waited until there was no time on the clock to get it.”
The Spartans’ next three games are against Indiana (4-3 overall, 0-3 Big Ten) at home, at Nebraska (3-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) and against Maryland (2-4 overall, 0-2 Big Ten) at home. “We’re 7-0, that’s the most important thing in all of this,” Dantonio said. “We advance (to) 3-0 in the Big Ten conference and so our dreams (were) kept alive and we’re able to move forward...Thank God for this, because (there) surely was something else to it besides physical.” MSU will be favored heavily in all of those games and they should be able to win and get healthy with the biggest game of the season looming on Nov. 21 against No. 1-ranked Ohio State (7-0 overall, 3-0 Big Ten). “Just an incredible ending to a great football game,” Dantonio said. “I think that’s why football is loved so much in America.”

MRULE and ICA promote learning opportunities, student outreach BY RILEY MURDOCK RMURDOCK@STATENEWS.COM
Dedicated to the diversity of individuals, backgrounds and ideas at MSU, the Multi-Racial Unity Living Experience (MRULE) and Intercultural Aide (ICA) programs joined together in 2014 to form a singular organization. This fusion is still in progress, but both organizations have made an impact on the way the other operates, attempting to better the events, programs and resources each provides to the student body. MRULE, which holds the popular “Round Table Discussions” where students debate topical issues, and ICA, which provides “focused outreach” (connecting with residents to develop relationships, support academics and promote welcomeness) to first year students, minorities and international students, have shifted their main focus to together providing ‘engaged learning opportunities’, or ELOs. “The (MRULE/ICA) fusion has helped us develop a rhythm of intercultural engagement that provides consistently more engaged learning opportunities throughout the neighborhoods,” MRULE director Jeanne Gazel said in an email. Gazel said she and Associate Director of the Office of Cultural and Academic Transitions and Director of ICA Maggie Chen-Hernandez decided to fuse the two organizations during the 2013-14 school year when they looked at how similar their work had become. Gazel said the fusion coincided with the opening of MOSAIC, MSU’s cultural center, directed by Chen-Hernandez. Chen-Hernandez said a step towards the fusion was made when she decided Intercultural Aides should be attending MRULE round tables. Gazel said the aides make contact with around 1400 students a week, 200 or more during or related to Round Tables.
“We are still transitioning the fusion and its official status is still a work in progress,” Gazel said. MRULE’s Round Table Discussions and ICA’s focused outreach initiatives fall under the engaged learning opportunities label, as well as Civic, Social, and Cultural activities (C.S.C), Training and Education Engaged Learning Opportunities (TEELO), and collaborations with the neighborhoods. “Civic Engagement is connecting with our local Lansing community partners: Village Summit Community Center and the Allen Neighborhood Center,” Gazel said. “We participate once a week in service projects: community gardens, cleaning, organizing and mentoring local youth.” Gazel said social activities can be any gathering designed to bring people together through non language-dependent recreation, such as game nights, dancing, music and sports. “Cultural (activities are) supporting the many cultural events on campus by accompanying residents and having subsequent meaningful conversations about them,” Gazel said. TEELO serves as an educational review session for student employees and intercultural aides. “It’s where we examine our strengths and areas where we need to stretch,” Gazel said. “We follow this reflection with further opportunity to study a relevant social justice topic to deepen depth and (breadth) of understanding for engaging in socio-cultural conversations.” Gazel said the ICA program has helped MRULE collaborate more closely with Residential Education and Housing Services, and has expanded collaborations with the neighborhoods. Chen-Hernandez said MRULE has helped ICA enhance the work they do at an interpersonal level with other students.

Walking inside the IM Sports-Circle building, the old Michigan Agricultural College logo gracing the stone entryway stands out. The interlocking letters harken back to MSU’s agricultural roots, a legacy continued by members of Sustainable Spartans meeting inside. Sustainable Spartans promotes environmentally sustainable practices on campus and the greater Lansing community. Most recently, Sustainable Spartans volunteered at the MSU Student Organic Farm’s second annual Harvest Fest event. “They have live music, cider, donuts, tours of the farm — it’s for students, families, and other people in East Lansing,” Sustainable Spartans Student Events Coordinator and psychology senior Kelsey Allan said. “The purpose of the event is to get people excited about local food, get everyone together around food and educate people about food.” The Sustainable Spartans volunteer at Harvest Fest because of the benefits eating locally produced foods offers, Sustainable Spartans President and environmental studies and sustainability senior Allison Montambeau said. “A lot of energy consumption goes into moving foods across the world,” Montambeau said. “When you’re eating more local foods you’re supporting the local economy and small farmers — it’s a plus plus all around.” Sustainable Spartans works to make real, substantive changes in how the MSU community’s actions affect the environment. “We’ve been working on a project for almost two years trying to work with Sparty’s to get more local foods involved in that,” Montambeau said. “It’s been a long road, but we’ve made some good progress toward making more responsible purchasing.” Sustainable Spartans Vice President, Project Manager and environmental studies and sustainability

senior Channing McKay said Sustainable Spartans is hoping to expand their involvement to outside of the MSU community in the near future. “One of our big focuses this year is try to expand outside the MSU community and start expanding our borders and exploring the East Lansing and nearby Lansing communities,” McKay said. McKay said future projects for the group will involve cooperation with many different organizations and events in the greater Lansing community. “There are possibilities to work with the Greater Lansing Food Bank and maybe volunteer on a garden project with them, we also would like to try and get involved in East Lansing through events put on by them,” McKay said. “We will be involved in the post home game clean up on October 25 — we want to be a part of the planning and management of the waste stream at Taste of East Lansing in the spring.” Interested students can attend group meetings, which take place at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays in room 112 of IM Sports-Circle.

BY RYAN SQUANDA RSQUANDA@STATENEWS.COM
MSU, running and The Beach Boys — those were the three loves of Mike Rummel during the fall of 1965. At the time, Rummel was a law enforcement administration freshman on the MSU cross country team, and it was then his three loves came together. It’s a moment he’s never forgotten, and it’s a moment which brought him back to MSU — 50 years later. The way Rummel recalls it, it all started with a regular fall afternoon run with his teammates along the river trail behind Shaw Hall during the fall of 1965. That’s when it happened. “As we came up on Shaw Hall running east to west the sounds of “Little Deuce Coupe” came loudly from a dorm room in Shaw,” Rummel said. “The weather was sunny and warm. Classes were changing. Students moved out of our way as they saw who we were — just about the only interest the cross country team ever generated within the student body. That memory has stayed with me all these years.” And while that fall would be the only season Rummel would participate on the MSU cross country team, and while he’ll also be the first to admit he was the slowest one on the team, running with the team his freshman year is an experience he’d never take back. From there, Rummel would go on to live a life for the ages — one which has included dropping out of MSU to serve time in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, a return to MSU when he graduated in 1972, to becoming a lawyer and serving as a Navy JAG aboard the USS Carl Vinson. But through it all, Rummel has always made it a point to run during his life, and he’s done so all over the world, from California to London, to the miles he grabbed aboard the USS Carl Vinson when it was anchored off the coast of Africa. But in all his years of running, that run in the fall of 1965 stands out from them all. So on Oct. 15, Rummel, the now 68-year-old M O N DAY, O C TOBER 19, 2015
“I like the continuity. Michigan State’s still here, what I remember is still here, and there’s some new stuff added. ... it’s nice. ... I love Michigan State.” Mike Rummel 1972 MSU alumnus
living in California, booked his airline, auto and hotel reservations to return MSU’s campus for the first time since 1972 to recreate that moment — one that’s run through his head thousands of times since it occurred. Additionally, Rummel said he’s thankful he’s still able to run today. After decades of running, Rummel’s knee gave out two years ago and he was forced to sit out of the activity he loved. Rummel thought he would never be able to run again. Thankfully, that proved not to be the case. “Finally, this past June, I decided it felt good for running,” Rummel said. “I started running again. I’ve had it X-rayed numerous times. Surgeon said everything is fine. I can run as much as I want as long as I’m not running a marathon every day.” So with his new found health, Rummel made it a point to stop by MSU on his way back to Maryland for his 50th high school reunion, to recreate the run behind Shaw Hall while “Little Deuce Coup” played on his iPhone. “I was 18 when that happened and by today’s standards that was when I first became an adult,” Rummel said. “So since my arrival here, fifty years, my entire adult life has been running through my mind -- everywhere I’ve been, everything I’ve done, what went right, what went wrong, what could’ve have been done different, what could have been better, what was great, just having all those memories ... and the continuity. I like the continuity. Michigan State’s still here, what I remember is still here, and there’s some new stuff added. ... it’s nice. ... I love Michigan State.” THE STAT E NE WS

Michigan House passes prescription drug overdose amnesty bill BY JAKE ALLEN JALLEN@STATENEWS.COM
A Michigan House of Representatives bill that would give amnesty to some facing medical emergencies because of prescription drug abuse was unanimously passed by the House on Oct. 14. The bill would protect those under the age of 21 from prosecution for possessing prescription drugs if they are seeking medical assistance for themselves or someone else facing a medical emergency because of prescription drug use. The bill will have to be approved by the Senate next. Rep. Al Pscholka (R-Stevensville), the primary sponsor of the bill, anticipates it to pass and be signed by the governor before Christmas. According to a report from Michigan Department of Community Health released in 2014, from 1999 to 2012 unintentional drug overdose deaths in Michigan increased from 235 to 941 per year. Pscholka cited an instance in his community in which a 16-yearold boy died of overdose on prescription drugs. His friends were afraid of getting in trouble with the law and chose not to call for help as he was having a seizure. The boy died at a “Skittles Party” during which prescription drugs are randomly chosen from a bowl and swallowed by participants. Parties as such are occurring around the state, frequently on college campuses, Pscholka said. According to current state law, “a person shall not knowingly or intentionally possess a controlled substance, a controlled substance analogue, or a prescription form unless obtained directly from a valid prescription or order of a practitioner while acting in the course of the practitioner’s professional practice, or except as otherwise.” Punishment for violation of the current law ranges from imprisonment for no more than four years, a fine of no more than $25,000 or both for possession of 25 grams or more, but less than 50 grams of any mixture containing a controlled substance to imprisonment for life or any term of years, a fine of no more than $1,000,000 or both for possession of 1,000 grams or more. The bill was widely supported with 12 Democrat and 20 Republican co-sponsors. “Everyone thought it was a good idea and a step that we (ought to) take in Michigan,” Pscholka said. Ingham County Health Officer Linda Vail agreed the bill is a step in the right direction, but said she hopes the bill is only the start due to a number of issues it fails to address. Vail said she wishes the bill would grant amnesty to a larger population and that it ignores other drug-related issues in the state. “We also have an illegal drug use and abuse issue with heroin on the streets and we kind of bypassed that and the other thing is what happens when you are 22 or 24 (years of age)?” Vail said. 10

Vinyl popularity on the rise for music lovers BY IAN WENDROW IWENDROW@STATENEWS.COM
There are two noticeable sounds which can be heard inside a record store. The quiet flop of cardboard covers hitting each other as customers flip through vinyl and the soft crinkling sound from packaging being removed as people sample unique finds on the store’s public turntable. It’s a sound familiar to Cameryn Shepich, a comparative cultures and politics senior, who has made it a weekly habit to visit East Lansing’s local vinyl shops. “A lot of my friends got into it, so I picked up a record player for real cheap at a thrift store and my dad gave me some of his old records to start and after that I started making weekly pick-ups,” Shepich said. Camer yn’s foray into record collecting comes on the heels of a larger trend in vinyl’s resurgence. In 2014, vinyl sales surpassed nine million for the first time in more than 20 years, a 53 percent increase from the year prior. For the past four years, record purchases have steadily increased as digital and CD sales have decreased, signs of a consumer shift towards analog. This upward swing in sales has been a boon for local record stores like Flat, Black and Circular (FBC). Marking off sales from his extensive inventory, Dave Bernath, owner and co-founder of FBC, said he is pleased with

vinyl’s comeback. “I’ve always believed that music should be a social, community thing and vinyl just makes it so much more personal than headphones or having your albums on a laptop,” Bernath said. As to what he suspects are the reasons for the renewed interest, Bernath can only speculate on the impact “crate diggers” have had. “By this point I’d say almost every album that’s been recorded has been found,” Bernath said. “People have combed the globe finding rare vinyls and searching through old crates to find lost albums or previously unheard of music. So with that, you know, there’s suddenly a bunch of vinyl for various niches. There’s a record for anyone if you know where to look.” Knowing where to look is key, as the widening appeal of vinyl means more record stores and warehouses find the daunting task of organizing and categorizing the thousands of records on hand. The internet helps in some respects, as nearly every discography or artist’s information can be found on sites such as last.fm, and most shop owners like Bernath are knowledgeable enough to point a new collector in the right direction. Yet for those like alumni Andrew Meftah and John Shaughnessy, sometimes the best discoveries are made on the spot. “You’re not gonna download some random thing, you’ll listen to some of it or know what you’re looking for, I think that’s a big difference (between vinyl and digital music),”

Students create ‘Fab Faces’ on campus

Finding an inexpensive makeup artist near campus can be difficult. To combat the issue, two students started an on-campus beauty business called Fab Faces. Journalism sophomores Moranda Thomas and Starria Coppins both share a love for beauty and fashion. The pair decided in order to let people know who they are and to be able to do what they love on campus they would have to start their own business.
“We wanna make this affordable for girls because there (are) not many places where we can get our makeup done besides M.A.C. but they charge like $50.” Moranda Thomas, journalism sophomore and co-founder of Fab Faces
“Ever since I was about 14 years old I have been practicing makeup,” Thomas said. “It’s been something that I am really passionate about for as long as I can remember.” Coppins said at first it was just a job, but now she is going to continue doing it to get better because she enjoys what she does. Fab Faces offers a variety of beauty services. Thomas and Coppins offer full face makeup (which includes eye makeup, eyebrow makeup and facial make up) for $25, eyebrow arch and fill-in for $10, eyebrow waxing is also $10 and false lash application starting at $5. Each service is designed to be an affordable price for students of MSU. “Because we are struggling college students and I want to make a way out of no way for 12

people,” Thomas said. “We want to make this affordable for girls because there (are) not many places where we can go to get our makeup done besides M.A.C. but they charge like $50.” Alongside the inexpensive prices is a convenient location. Thomas said it’s convenient for them to be located in a residence hall. “Sometimes I just leave the door open so they can come in,” Thomas said. “I can speak to girls easier and make connections with them before I even work on their faces.” Coppins said students should use their services because of their inexpensive prices and convenience. “It’s not always easy to find who can help you look nice for these events whether it be a board meeting, career fair or even a party,” Coppins said. Both Thomas and Coppins are proud of the work, but believe they have the potential to get better. “I feel like I’m making my dad proud, he passed away in February and this is something he knew I wanted to do,” Thomas said. “I wanted people to know my name and he always told me ‘Mo, you need get serious about this.’” Journalism senior Amber Howard has supported Fab Faces numerous times and she likes how the young entrepreneurs saw what the black community lacked and found a way to contribute. “I like that these young women have utilized their skills and made something out of themselves that caters to the black community,” Howard said in a text message.
