Abuse cases should be taken seriously By Leslie Hemenway lhemenway@statenews.com

Pop singer Kesha recently sued her producer Lukasz Gottwald, aka Dr. Luke, on grounds of sexual, verbal, emotional and physical abuse. According to the lawsuit, the famed music producer was toxic right from the get-go, when Kesha was merely 18 years old. Dr. Luke allegedly date raped her, threatened to ruin her and her family’s lives if she ever told anyone and insulted her weight on multiple occasions, among other things. “This lawsuit is a wholehearted effort by Kesha to regain control of her music career and her personal freedom after suffering for 10 years as a victim of mental manipulation, emotional abuse and an instance of sexual assault at the hands of Dr. Luke,” Mark Geragos, Kesha’s attorney, told News.com. Some reactions to this lawsuit nearly match the depravity of the acts Dr. Luke is accused of. One poster commented on the MTV article, “I’m looking at this from the outside in like most people, but if any of what each person has shown in public, as well as what others have said about them, I won’t be surprised at all if it ends up Kesha lied.”

While this comment is kinder compared to various other opinions on other articles about the lawsuit, it’s still problematic because it insinuates that Kesha is lying about the ordeal. I’m not saying people should attack Dr. Luke right away, as the jury’s still out, but there’s an issue with right away assuming Kesha is lying. And it’s not just celebrities who face these kinds of assumptions — it’s everyday people, and students on college campuses. This behavior discourages victims of abuse from speaking out because they fear they will be the ones to face ramifications, as opposed to their abusers, and that’s far from acceptable. Society as a whole needs to do a better job of taking abuse seriously. Instead of initially doubting the victim, offer them support. That doesn’t mean you need to penalize the alleged abuser right away. Don’t make it about the abuser, make it about the victim. Of course, each case should be thoroughly examined. But when there isn’t evidence that points to the victim lying, there’s no reason to start out with a victim-blaming mentality. The United States Department of Justice wagers that roughly two percent of rape cases are false, but the number varies depending on the source. Chances are, the victim isn’t lying and has already been through enough without having to deal with people doubting the legitimacy of their claims.

The MSU–U-M rivalry brings out the competitive nature and passion in fans on both sides, but traditions connected to it can also bring people together

By Celeste Bott cbott@statenews.com

It’s that time of year again — this weekend MSU is taking on their in-state rival, the University of Michigan, in my favorite football game of the season. It’s a storied rivalry dating back as early as 1898. For me, since my father grew up in Lansing and my parents met while my mother was attending MSU, I pretty much came into this world a bona fide Wolverine hater. The word “rivalry” implies divisiveness, but the exact opposite has always happened around this time of year for me. Because here’s what you sometimes tend to forget when you look too closely at touchdowns and win records — rivalries are fun! I went to a Catholic school my entire life before attending MSU — that’s 13 years of wearing a school uniform, day in and day out. But the Friday before the MSU–U-M game, both my elementary school and high school allowed us to have “dress-down” days where we were allowed to wear the colors of our respective teams. Sure, we trash talked each other mercilessly. But at the same time, not only did it get us pumped for the weekend, but we got to swap stories about why we supported the team we did. Many people who grew up in Michigan and grew up with this rivalry have a story that might go a little like mine. My mother met her best friend to this day, waitressing at Emil’s, a Lansing restaurant that’s still open today on Michigan Avenue. My mom was dating my father, and her new friend was dating another MSU student, and the four of them soon became inseparable. After graduation and marriage, new homes and jobs, they began having children around the same time as one another. Now one of my best friends, and one of my younger brother’s best friends, are the sons of that couple my parents met at

Emil’s. And of course, we were all born and raised Spartans. Life is busy, and we don’t get to see our favorite family friends as much as we’d like to. We often make it a priority to get together for pool days in the summer, holidays and — you guessed it — football games, and MSU–U-M is always a favorite matchup. Sometimes we all get together to watch the game or to attend it; other times, it’s just the second generation now, huddled in an East Lansing bar. But the tradition goes on. A football rivalry like this might not be a big deal to some, and that’s okay too. But if you’re willing to get into the spirit of it, something that, by nature, implies a separation can also mean an opportunity to come together with friends, family or peers. For me, it’s a chance to appreciate the meaningful relationship my parents and their friends made when they were at MSU, and to know I’ll carry it on. Twenty years from now, I’m confident I’ll be back here tailgating with my family, my brother’s family and the families of the friends we’ve had since birth. This rivalry game is also a chance to connect with people you don’t see as often as you like. I’ve often seen or gotten in touch with friends from high school who went to U-M when one of us visits the other’s campus for this very game. Relatives who I don’t regularly talk to almost always reach out with a “Go green!” text on this day, whether they have a stake in the rivalry or not. At The State News, we’ll play a rivalry “touch” football game of our own against the U-M student newspaper, The Michigan Daily. And as much as I hope that we kick their asses — as I have no doubt our football team will do in their own matchup this Saturday — what matters to me more is how our staff will come together this Friday and bond. So don’t read too much into the negativity of a word like rivalry. Because if you let it, a rivalry can be a chance to forge connections that will last a lifetime.

Students bring soccer supporter culture to East Lansing The Red Cedar Rowdies, a self-made student section for the men’s soccer team, have only been around for three years. But in that time, they have grown from only a few boisterous soccer fanatics to a loyal, large and loud fanbase

“Come on Spartans, score a goal, it’s really very simple, put the ball into the net, and we will all go mental!” This is one of the chants, which is set to the tune of “Yankee Doodle,” the Red Cedar Rowdies are known for belting out during the MSU men’s soccer games. Since 2011, the Red Cedar Rowdies have brought a taste of intense soccer supporter culture to MSU. The Rowdies can be found enthusiastically cheering on the team from the left side of the stands at the DeMartin Soccer Stadium whenever there is a home game. Spectators can hear them yelling at the top of their lungs as their famous drum bangs loudly and the sound of the horns echo. The Rowdies never fail to have over-the-top enthusiasm, no matter the number 4

humble beginnings Despite the popularity of the student section, the Rowdies had a fairly recent and smaller start. Journalism senior Luke Ferris started the Rowdies during his freshman year. Ferris wasn’t always a soccer fan, but fell for the game watching the FIFA World Cup. Coming into his freshman year, Ferris looked forward to being a member of the Izzone and the football student section, but noticed the soccer team lacked a student section. Ferris, along with a few other people, contacted the soccer coaches and expressed interest in developing a soccer supporter culture at MSU. Thus, the Red Cedar Rowdies were born. “That first season was tough … those were definite-

ly the dog days when there was, like, five guys showing up,” Ferris said. “The reason why it (was able) to start was because of the support of the coaching staff and MSU athletics. They were passionate about it and they saw a need for it.” Men’s soccer head coach Damon Rensing can’t speak highly enough of the student group and the enthusiasm they bring to the games. Rensing noted that even on a Wednesday at 4 p.m. the Rowdies give it everything they have. “They’re awesome. I can’t say enough about those guys,” Rensing said. “They’re here no matter what. They are special and I don’t think there are too many groups like that in the country.” It’s not just the coaches that appreciate the presence of the Rowdies. Senior midfielder Fatai Alashe has seen the group grow in his time here at MSU and feels that

it’s so special for them to be at the games. “They mean a ton to our team … having those guys (at the games) cheering you on the whole game, it’s special,” Alashe said. “It gives you that extra bit of energy, and we’re so grateful to have them here every game. They come no matter what.” The impact of the Rowdies Finance senior Regan Bartha got involved with the Rowdies during their second season. Ferris and Bartha lived on the same floor in 2012 and Ferris got Bartha hooked. Bartha said he believes that the Rowdies add a different element to the soccer games. “The Rowdies bring something special to games that you may not necessarily find at the more popular sports around campus,” said Bartha, treasurer for the Rowdies. “It’s the messages that we cohesively put in our opponents’ heads that makes us effective. Instead of a three-syllable M-S-U chant, we string together words that attack the opposition on a more personal level while maintaining a thin balance between being creative and flatout inappropriate.” Bartha noted that the chants from the Rowdies have occasionally created mounting frustration in opposing players, sometimes even drawing a yellow card because the players retaliate against them. This has a huge impact on the game, as a second yellow card results in an ejection. Ferris said the songs they sing are often reworded chants thats already exist among other supporter groups. Other times they are spur-of-themoment chants that target specific players. “It’s before the season and it’s a group effort,” Ferris said. “Usually we pick a tune that would work with the message we’re saying. This year, we came up with ones based off of players. So we chose tunes and recreated lyrics to suit our needs.” The number of Rowdies at games vary, with anywhere from 25 on a weekday to 50 or 100 on a weekend. Ferris noted that at last year’s game

a rowdy future Ferris and Bartha want local supporter cultures to one day match the intensity of international supporter culture across the globe. “The closest parallel to international soccer support we have in the United States would be the Timbers Army in Portland,” Bartha said. “We’re just trying to bring a bit of that enthusiasm to East Lansing to support MSU soccer.” With Ferris and Bartha graduating soon, they will have to pass the legacy of the Red Cedar Rowdies onto the younger generation of the supporter section. Ferris does not want to see the Rowdies leave with him; he wants the Rowdies to forever remain, growing bigger and better as time goes on. “That’s something that I’m really passionate about — continuing the legacy of the Rowdies,” Ferris said. “It’s cool, I’m really proud of the Rowdies and what it’s become, but for me, it wouldn’t be worth it if it doesn’t continue.” Bartha said he is optimistic about the future of the Rowdies. “With myself and Luke (Ferris) graduating after this year, the future of the Rowdies will rest in the hands of supporters below us in age,” Bartha said. “But after seeing the turnouts to games grow each year we’ve been here, I see the group going nowhere but up.” One of those younger supporters hoping to step up and take on a leadership role next year is neuroscience junior and avid soccer fan Grant Boxey. Boxey said he hopes to see the Rowdies continue to grow and thrive in their absence. “I expect the Rowdies to keep growing,” Boxey said. “There (are) 40,000 students. There (are) quite a few people getting hooked into soccer … and we’re hoping to bring them out.” English education junior Chris Symons has been involved with the Rowdies since his freshman year and said he wants to potentially make the Rowdies an official student group at MSU, which would give the Rowdies a presence at Sparticipation. “I have this golden vision (with) all the freshman wandering between tables and there’s this one table that’s just loud as hell … It’s just all of the Rowdies sitting there blowing horns and chanting,” Symons said. “We want loyalty that would come with becoming a registered official student group.” Ferris wants the Rowdies to keep gaining support amongst the student body, but the biggest deterrent is the time of the soccer games. “The hardest part that we face is game times,” Ferris said. “In that whole complex there (are) no stadium lights … Sunday at noon, Thursday at 4 p.m., those are very challenging times to get people to games.” But Ferris has seen the section grow through word-of-mouth, and wants the club to continue growing. “I would say you could come to a game and not really know much about soccer or not be a huge soccer fan, but still have a lot of fun,” Ferris said. “No matter if (you’ve) been a soccer fan (your) whole life or (you) just started liking soccer, (you’re) going to enjoy it.” Th e Stat e N e ws

Michigan State Police have named a new suspect in the disappearance of MSU student Krista Lueth, a 6-yearold case that began on Nov. 11, 2008, when Lueth was last seen. Michigan State Police Detective Sgt. Tom DeClercq said Mason resident Brad Cournaya, a boyfriend of Lueth’s and convicted rapist, is now a prime suspect in her disappearance. Besides phone records indicating Cournaya was the last to speak to Lueth, police also say Cournaya dumped Lueth’s identification cards, credit card and a busted cell phone near College Road the day of her disappearance.

Before her disappearance, Lueth, a horticulture student, left a dish of food on her stove and locked her home with her cat inside, according to previous articles in The State News. She was last seen by her longtime friend, Rick Stilgenbauer. Stilgenbauer lived in a unit below Lueth on the 1100 block of Eureka Street in Lansing. She left her car parked in the driveway, and friends began to worry when she didn’t show up for class at 6:30 p.m. Lueth was on her way to completing a second undergraduate degree in horticulture and had plans to earn a master’s degree. Lueth’s case is now classified as a homicide, and DeClercq said his department is working to bring justice to Lueth’s family and locate her body.

A ballot proposal to sell three city-owned parking lots in downtown East Lansing could have a huge impact on the city’s economy and infrastructure if approved, said citizens examining the proposal. The ballot proposal asks the residents to authorize the city to sell the parking lots to private developers if there is a good offer. “People (have) to realize it does not mean the land will actually be sold if they vote yes,” city council member Kathleen Boyle said. “It just means the city will be allow(ed) to sell the land assuming there is a suitable project and the developer is willing to have a fair price for it.” Although the ballot proposal is not linked to the Park District project, if voters approve the selling of the parking lots, the city will consider selling the properties to DTN Management Co., the private developer looking to be chosen for the construction of the Park District. The parking lots on sale, if approved on the November election, are parking lot 4, 8 and 15 in downtown East Lansing. Although Boyle emphasized that the proposal does not require the city to sell the lots, she recognized that the redevolopment plan of DTN Management Co. is an ambitious one — one that involves the parking lots. “I’m very encouraged by this — the plan. I think it (has) got a lot going for (it), so I see something eventually placed there,” Boyle said. “I think DTN is moving in the right direction … but yes, the sale of the property will allow DTN to go forward with the project assuming all the other pieces will fall into place.” Parking lot 4, located on the northwest corner of Abbot Road and Albert Avenue, is intended to become an eight-story building

that will house retail stores and office space. A walkable and bike-friendly street is intended to be placed on parking lot 8, located north of The Peoples Church, in DTN’s redevelopment plan. Parking lot 15, across from City Hall, would have the biggest redevelopment and create living space. A building that will house people older than 55 years has been proposed, too. Boyle said the redevelopment plan by DTN Management Co. needs some changes before it can go under review. Park District Investment Group LLC has also proposed a redevelopment project. The group has the same investors that proposed the failed City Center II project. “The financial circumstances last time this project was proposed in 2008 were different … (PDIG) is still the owner of those properties where they are proposing a project, and because of that we have a legal right to process that application and to review their project,” said Timothy Dempsey, the planning, building and development director. PDIG does not need any of the parking lots for their project. However, Dempsey said they will work with DTN Management Co. to create the concept of Park District Area. On Wednesday, the Planning Commission will have both of the projects under construction. East Lansing Citizens Concerned co-chair Chris Root said residents should vote on this proposal because of the rarity of the issue. “This does not happen very often,” Root said. “Usually development proposals made by companies are for land that the company owns, but in this case almost all of the land is publicly owned, so that’s why this is very, very unusual.” East Lansing Citizens Concerned will be hosting a citizen discussion from 7 to 9 p.m. Oct. 23 at the Hannah Community Center.

MSU professor of surgery encourages breast cancer awareness Dr. Karen Ching says it’s a misconception that only older women can be diagnosed with the disease, and advocates for students to get educated about breast cancer

By Brandi Scarber bscarber@statenews.com

Each year it is estimated that more than 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. And the disease can affect young people. “That is one of those myths that people believe — they think only 40-year-old women can be diagnosed,” said Dr. Karen Ching, assistant professor of surgery in the MSU Department of Surgery who specializes in breast surgery and breast surgical oncology. Even college and high school students are being affected now, she said. There are simple things you can do to lower your chances — like eating healthy, exercising and examining yourself, Ching said. But there are many common misconceptions about breast cancer. Individuals think the disease is only hereditary, that men don’t get breast cancer and that self-examination doesn’t work. “Students here at MSU have some of the best technology to become educated about breast cancer, so they should take advan- Assistant professor of surgery Karen Ching poses for a portrait Sunday at Sparrow Hospital.

tage of this and educate their families back home,” said Ching. When Ching began medical school she did not know exactly what she wanted to do. After interacting with patients diagnosed with breast cancer, she decided to contribute to the field. She always knew that she wanted to treat patients with her hands, she said. “I just found the connection to these women with these problems,” Ching said. “There are not a lot of women in the field, and of course other women feel a lot more comfortable with women as their doctors.” Because cancer brings a dramatic change to people’s lives, Ching said she takes a personal approach with her patients. She said she never wants patients to leave an appointment scared, so she tries to make them understand that they have options and that breast cancer is curable. “It’s saddening to know these women’s situations. I feel empathy,” Ching said. And Ching is passing her knowledge down to her students. Third-year medical student Evelyn Yeh said, “Dr. Ching is a great teacher who really cares about the process, and she makes you feel a part of (it).”

Resources are available for busy students worried about their nutrition By Jasmin Rojo jrojo@statenews.com

Sometimes the clock can get in the way of being healthy. On campus, nutritional organizations and programs encourage students to eat well, but many students don’t consume enough fruits and vegetables because of their lack of time. “I have class all day and oftentimes work right after,” said veterinary technology senior Margie Ramirez. “I usually pack my meals the night before and try to incorporate some fruits and vegetables.” With her daily schedule full, Ramirez doesn’t typically have time to exercise. “I try to workout when I have downtime,” Ramirez said. “But by the time I get home, all I want to do is (lie) down and relax.” The Nutritional Sciences Club is one group that steers students toward healthy habits. President of the Nutritional Sciences Club and dietetics senior Megan Geierman said students can track what they eat at MSU dining halls using the MSUtrition page

on the Eat at State website. In the pursuit of a nutritional diet, Geierman said there are other easy and practical steps students can take. “A helpful tip is to bring your own snacks; cutting up fruit and making the time beforehand instead of buying something at a vending machine,” Geierman said. “Pick a day in the week to prep for snacks.” Organizing your time and making small changes is key in choosing to eat right, according to Geierman. “Try to be creative. You don’t have to cut everything out of your diet all at once,” she said. Instructor for the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition Wei Li said eating well comes down to science. A person’s body can become unstable if they are not consuming nutritious foods or exercising enough. “The primary concern in the long run is more about (the) chronic disease you will develop later in life like obesity, diabetes and heart disease,” Li said. Exercising is just as important because it decreases the risk of chronic disease, Li said. Gyms are located in several locations on campus, and some are in the residence halls so that students can exercise daily.

Fac t Students can track what they eat at MSU dining halls on the MSUtrition page on the Eat at State website.

Furthermore, Li said, now is the time for students to start consuming healthy foods. If they are not getting the proper nutrition, they could develop one of the major chronic diseases within their lifetime. Vitamins and minerals are important for the human body, and Li said eating more fruits and vegetables is the best way to get them. Li recommends students visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture website and take advantage of tools like ChooseMyPlate, which provides nutritional information for different foods and allows students to track their daily intake. And since stress is a large factor for college students, Li suggested cutting out the energy drinks. “You have to have a balanced diet and have nutrients from all kinds of foods, especially vitamins and minerals,” Li said. “There are some studies for stress (showing) that if you eat antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, it can partially help cope (with) the systems of stress.” Though students can listen to tips and learn facts about eating well, being healthy is ultimately a personal choice. But with resources and support on campus, college years might be the easiest time for students to develop a healthy long-term lifestyle.

Tournament time is approaching, and MSU women’s soccer is running out of opportunities to qualify for the postseason. MSU (9-6-1 overall, 3-6-1 Big Ten) is currently 10th in the Big Ten standings, and with three games left, the Spartans are faced with must-win conference games if they hope to make the Big Ten Tournament. The top eight teams qualify for the conference tournament, so there is certainly pressure to win out. MSU has missed out on the postseason the past two years, and if it wants to end that drought, it will have to defeat its remaining opponents on the road. MSU will visit Illinois, Northwestern and Indiana to close its season. Illinois is currently one game ahead of MSU in the conference standings, so a win against the Fighting Illini would be instrumental in moving up in the standings. Northwestern has two conference wins while Indiana has one. A victory against either team would distance the Spartans from the lower tier of teams, but winning both would be most beneficial. MSU recently saw a three-game winning streak come to an end after a loss to Big Ten and national powerhouse Penn State, but head coach Tom Saxton expects his team to rebound. “If anybody’s got their head down, we’ll be able to certainly get them on the right page,” Saxton said. “We’ve got three games to play, and I think they’re all very winnable games. We’ve been a good road team this year, and you know what, it’ll probably take at least two (wins). … We’re not afraid of any game.”

The players are optimistic about their chances to pick up crucial victories, and senior midfielder Megan Marsack believes that the team has “a good chance to come out with a win” against the remaining opponents. Although MSU will not be in the friendly confines of DeMartin Stadium, Saxton believes his team will fare just fine on the road. He said he looks forward to a Friday night contest in Champaign, Ill. this weekend. “I think we’ve been a really good road team this year,” Saxton said. “The one thing I do like about it, especially on the Friday game, is that we get to be professional soccer players and spend the day preparing for the game as opposed to coming from class. That does make a difference.” The Spartans are 4-2-1 on the road this season, and the two losses to Rutgers and Michigan both came from allowing game-winning goals with under two minutes remaining in regulation. MSU checks in at No. 53 on the Women’s Soccer RPI rankings, a number that could seemingly only go up if the Spartans find a way to win a few more games this year. With 64 teams selected for the NCAA Women’s Soccer Division I Championship, MSU’s RPI may be an important factor down the stretch. As a member of the challenging Big Ten, MSU has played a difficult schedule this year. It was only heightened by the arrival of two quality soccer programs in Maryland and Rutgers, and despite some disappointing losses along the way, Saxton is pleased with where this team sits. “I know that the veterans understand that we still have a great chance,” Saxton said. “When I looked at the difficulty of our schedule at the beginning of the year, going into the last couple weekends to have a chance to get in the postseason, I’ll take it.”

Run game will dictate outcome of U-M match on Saturday, according to Dantonio By Robert Bondy rbondy@statenews.com

It’s plain and simple this week — whoever runs the ball more effectively will likely win the game. Whenever No. 8 MSU (6-1 overall, 3-0 Big Ten) and Michigan (3-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) tangle up, history shows that the team who gets more yards on the ground will come away with the victory. In 41 of the last 44 battles between the two in-state rivals, the team that produces more rushing yards has been victorious. This includes last year’s matchup when MSU out-rushed U-M 142 to -48. While head coach Mark Dantonio believes that U-M’s -48 rushing yards from a year ago is a misleading stat because of the seven MSU sacks, he said winning the rushing battle will be key this week. “Any football team that controls the line of scrimmage usually wins the football game, and I think that’s pretty much true probably in most football games,” Dantonio said. “If you win up front you’ve got a great chance to win the football game. Doesn’t mean it’s always going to happen, but you have a chance.” Controlling the line of scrimmage has become MSU’s bread and butter when playing against U-M during the Dantonio era. MSU has outgained the Wolverines on the ground in each of the last six games by a combined margin of 609 yards. However, U-M will appear to provide a more difficult matchup in the trenches this year. MSU ranks 15th in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 260 yards per game, but on the opposite side U-M ranks fourth in the nation in rushing

defense, only surrendering 93.6 yards per game on the ground. Winning the battle up front is something senior offensive lineman and captain Travis Jackson considers to be key for success. After playing in his share of battles for the Paul Bunyan Trophy, Jackson said the offense understands the importance of generating a strong rushing attack this week against an impressive U-M front seven. “Their front seven is very physical, they play really fast,” Jackson said. “We just watched film on them on Sunday night and (Monday), so they’re going to come ready to play, and that’s going to be a difficult task for us. But we need to get the run game going and have it be consistent through all four quarters.” A lot of living up to Jackson’s run game goals will fall upon the shoulders of senior running backs Jeremy Langford and Nick Hill. Langford ranks fifth in the Big Ten in rushing yards per game — behind four guys who rank one, two, three and four in the nation for the same statistic — and Hill has emerged as a weapon as of late, recording 250 yards and three touchdowns in the last two games. Langford said not much will need to change this week offensively as long as the offensive line can continue to open up holes for the backs. “The offensive line has done a great job up front, rotating people in and keeping people healthy, so they open up big holes,” Langford said. “The rest of the running backs have to deliver behind the offensive line. They’ll do a great job.” Kickoff between MSU and U-M is set for 3:30 p.m. on Saturday from Spartan Stadium. The game will be broadcasted live on ABC.

MSU—U-M rivalry game personal for MSU football players, coaches MSU football has won five of the last six games in the series, but according to the team, that doesn’t reduce the importance of this year’s game By Geoff Preston gpreston@statenews.com

With in-state rival Michigan (3-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) coming to East Lansing on Saturday, it didn’t look like Tuesday’s media conference was head coach Mark Dantonio’s favorite, with members of the press bombarding him with questions about the oncoming in-state rivalry game. “I had a hard time believing Brady (Hoke) had this long of a press conference,” he joked toward the end. As game day draws closer, players and coaches said that even though most projections have No. 8 MSU (6-1 overall, 3-0 Big Ten) as a 17-point favorite, this game has not lost its luster, and remains the most important regular-season game on MSU’s schedule. “It’s a big game, it’s a big rivalry game,” junior

quarterback Connor Cook said. “We could be 0-5 going into the game and they could be No. 1 in the country and it’s still going to be a tight game.” Michigan has struggled this season — and in recent years, in the rivalry series. MSU has won five of the past six meetings with the Wolverines. Even with a home matchup against No. 13 Ohio State (5-1 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) coming up after U-M, Dantonio said this remains the most important game on the schedule. “This is a game that we point to and say ‘this goes beyond our schedule, this goes beyond our future,’” Dantonio said. “‘This goes beyond what we are doing now.’” Senior linebacker Taiwan Jones, born in New Baltimore, Mich., was not recruited by U-M. He said the rivalry is personal for him and others

“This is a game that we point to and say ‘this goes beyond our schedule, this goes beyond our future. This goes beyond what we are doing now.’” Mark Dantonio, Football head coach

on the team. “Coming up, Michigan didn’t really recruit me, so you always have to take that personally,” he said. “I know a few of the guys on that team, and we talk a little bit, but we haven’t talked much this week.” Jones said he went on an official visit to U-M and a official visit to MSU and liked the way MSU treated its players. “I wasn’t that highly recruited out of high school,” he said. “But … when I went to an unofficial (visit) to Michigan and an official here, I just saw the difference in how they treated … their recruits.” Both players admitted that the rivalry has changed in the time since Mark Dantonio has taken over as head coach for MSU. “After Mike Hart made that comment and kind of upset coach D and everyone around here, he said to us that things were going to change,” Cook said. “That we’re going to come back and the tide is going to turn, and there is going to be a power shift. We’ve done that through the years through hard work in the offseason, the winter conditionings, the summer workouts, all that stuff.”

Art student’s collages featured at Kresge Center By Lauren Owings Lowings@statenews.com

For studio art graduate student Samuel Bennett, art isn’t a passion — it’s an instinct. Bennett’s studio is blank walls plastered with artwork, floors covered in cutouts for collages and chairs and shelves vanished beneath scraps of magazines and book covers. As a child, he was constantly drawing and creating and that continued as he grew older. Bennett came to MSU as an undergraduate student because he had lived in Michigan his whole life and wanted to be near his family while he studied. He was also inspired by the work of MSU’s art professors, such as the paintings of Teresa Dunn. Bennett was so inspired that after his 2012 graduation, he decided to continue his education at MSU with a master’s degree. “I just wanted more space and time to flesh out some ideas I’ve been working on,” Bennett said. Bennett currently has an entire room in the Kresge Art Center dedicated to his work. He said it’s terrifying to have his art on display for the public to see. “It’s like opening up your journal and letting everyone read it, in a way,” Bennett said. Yet he recognizes the importance of exposing his work. “I think, as artists, one of our main tools — the most important thing — is to be truthful. If you lie to the viewer, your audience, you’re lying to yourself,” Bennett said. Bennett recently began work on a new piece, which will embody all the concepts he conveys in his Kresge

display. The piece is both a collage in its medium and because it combines the ideas of Bennett’s various artworks. Art, art history and design professor Adam Brown has Bennett as a student and said Bennett’s ideas are making sense of topics that are relevant today, such as human sexuality and how technology is altering the way we perceive our bodies. Bennett mainly uses collage, acrylic and oil paint in his artwork, but Brown said he enjoys working with Bennett because he is comfortable with trying different mediums, which is a change a lot of artists won’t undertake. “I think my favorite part of working with him is his openness to trying new things, new ways of production that are unfamiliar to him and embracing that process,” Brown said. Bennett’s art is inspired by the world around him. He said he is influenced by other artists, both live and in museums, and aspects of his surrounding environment, from nature to technology. In the future, Bennett would like to pursue teaching. More importantly, he wants to take the skills and knowledge he learned at MSU and apply them to being an artist who can live off his own work. Brown said his hope for Bennett is that he is able to produce a body of work and his own distinct style while here at MSU. “I want him to be able to enter the professional world as an artist with a voice and (to have) confidence in that voice,” Brown said.

MSU anthropology professor makes career studying organ trafficking Professor Monir Moniruzzaman has dedicated his studies to human organ trafficking, which is prominent in less-developed countries and often manipulates impoverished people into losing money and selling their organs

Human organ trafficking is not exactly the most frequently talked-about issue. But for MSU anthropology professor Monir Moniruzzaman, it has been his life’s research for the past 12 years. Moniruzzaman’s most recent field work was conducted in Bangladesh and he focused on kidneys, but said he has also noticed livers are a popular organ as well. In 2013, Moniruzzaman interviewed a 23-yearold who sold part of his liver. He said that 23-year-old was one of the most extreme cases he has come across. “For him, liver is an English word; he doesn’t even understand what ‘liver’ is. So these organs brokers, they entrapped him, they lured him by telling him that selling his body parts is a noble act. (They told him) ‘you can save somebody’s life, and you will be amply rewarded;

you don’t have to work for the rest of your life,’” Moniruzzaman said. The operation took place in a renowned Bangladesh hospital, which told the man that his liver was going to his uncle. According to Moniruzzaman, all the paperwork was falsified. The 23-year-old man only ended up receiving half of the money that was promised by the broker. While there are other hot spots around the world for human organ trafficking, including India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Egypt, China and different places in South America, Moniruzzaman chose Bangladesh because of the easy access he has to the country. “I looked at how the trafficking network operates. So I looked at organ sellers who sold their bodily parts (and) I looked at recipients who received those organs. I interviewed those brokers who are involved in organ brokering (and) I interviewed doctors who basically perform surgeries and transportation,” Moniruzzaman said.

MSU receives $7 million for international education

Sock drive being held in Akers Hall to help less fortunate children

Grants were awarded to a number of different MSU departments from the U.S. Department of Education to aid foreign language, cultural studies

Akers Hall Community Director Sara Olsztyn found an easy way for students to keep less fortunate children warm during the winter. Socktober is a donation drive started by SoulPancake and Kid President that collects new socks or money for the purchase of new socks. At the end of the drive, all sock donations will be delivered to a local shelter. Olsztyn placed two plastic bins in Akers Hall where students can place socks, and has directed RAs in both buildings to collect socks on their floors. “We didn’t get to do it last year because of the lack of time, but this year I wanted to do it,” she said. “It’s super easy to do — just purchase

Awarded with federal grants totaling up to $7 million, MSU will be able to improve five area study centers to advance their international education. Over the course of a four-year cycle from 2014 to 2018, the grants are awarded by the U.S. Department of Education under Title VI of the Higher Education Act. “It’s a competitive process, an extensive process,” International Studies and Programs Director of Communications Rachel Warner said. “There’s a lot of work that goes into it, but it’s ultimately worth it to get a quality education for international students here on campus.” However, Warner said, this grant

money isn’t just important for international students, but all staff and students on campus. The Center of Language in the College of Arts and Letters received a U.S. Education Title VI Language Resource Center award, which was one of the 16 awarded nationwide. It develops materials for foreign language teaching and learning, conducts research on the teaching and learning of foreign languages and provides professional development opportunities for educators in the field.

and Research award. MSU is one of only 17 universities to be designated a CIBER university in this funding cycle. Awards were earned by other area studies, including the African Studies Center, the Asian Studies Center and the Center for Advanced Study of International Development in the College of Social Science and the Center for Gender in a Global Context. “We received a little over $6 million in the last four-year cycle, so we had an increase this cycle,” Warner said. “I think it reflects and reaffirms the strength of MSU as an elite group for international education.” — Amanda Chonicki

socks while you’re out. Socktober is unique because shelters are used to getting donations of bunches of clothes — socks are a small but important thing that gets run through easily.” Olsztyn said donations to the drive have been decent, but she hopes for more participation. Socktober at MSU will last until Oct. 31. The bins are located at the service desks in East Akers Hall and West Akers Hall in East Neighborhood. “There are over 1,200 kids that live in these dorms, if just one hundred of them donate one pair of socks— that will be 100 socks that we can give,” Olsztyn said. “We are looking to see gratitude on people’s faces.” — Brandi Scarber
