MSU Horticulture Gardens hosts annual houseplant, succulent sale

The Michigan State University Horticulture Gardens held its 11th Annual House Plant and Succulent Sale on Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at its associated teaching greenhouse. Local shoppers and MSU students alike took their pick from the variety of greenery grown by MSU horticulturalists. At the sale, some of the most popular plants came from the Montsera family, including the Swiss cheese plant, known for having as many holes as its namesake, and the Monstera deliciosa "Bulbasaur,"which has mint green leaves with spots reminiscent of the dinosaur. MSU biochemistry and molecular biology sophomore Anna Pinnick bought a plant called string of pickles because they were "fun," she said. Plant enthusiast and astrophysics graduate student Meir Schochet already owns 10 indoor plants, but said he wouldn't mind coming out of the sale with four more. He finds plants to be a calming addition to his living space. "It forces me to be attentive and be aware," Schochet said. The plant sale has become a substantial source of funding for the MSU Horticulture Gardens and its 14 acres of land. The event began as a way to distribute excess indoor plants, but the plants became so popular among customers that

Tullis' patience, perseverance lead to unexpected breakthrough against Michigan

For months, junior running back Brandon Tullis was an afterthought in Michigan State's backfield. He hadn't practiced all week while dealing with an injury, but Saturday night, he became the unexpected bell cow the Spartans needed to overcome rival Michigan. "It just feels amazing to be back on the field today and back with the team," Tullis said. "I'm just grateful for the opportunity to provide for the team and get the win today, man. I was banged up, but I'm glad that I was able to go today." The Dallas, Texas native carried the ball an inconceivable 25 times for a career-high 86 yards in MSU's 15-6 victory at Michigan Stadium. Tullis entered the game with just 53 rushing yards across four games, shattering his previous season high of 37 rushing yards against Eastern Michigan. "He's just an absolutely terrific young man," MSU head coach Pat Fitzgerald said. "Opportunity presented itself, and he responded. He was noncontact in Tuesday's practice, so that tells you the type of game the young man played today. I'm incredibly proud of him." His workload was significant in how MSU controlled the game. Since 1969, 87.5% of Michigan-MSU rivalry games were determined by the

Free speech lawsuit challenges Michigan State University's trustee ethics code

(The Center Square) – Michigan State University is facing a federal lawsuit challenging recent revisions to its Board of Trustees’ code of ethics. The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a national nonprofit organization, is representing university trustee Michael Balow in the lawsuit. “MSU’s revised code censors dissent,” said FIRE attorney Heather Pincus. “If a trustee criticizes a board decision, the trustee could suffer serious consequences, up to referral for removal from office. But if a trustee praises a board decision, the code imposes no consequences. That’s viewpoint discrimination, which the First Amendment forbids.” The revised policy requires trustees to “uphold the university’s reputation” and states trustees “will not undermine and will support the majority decision of the board.” It also requires trustees to raise concerns in “appropriate settings” before board action and sign an acknowledgement agreeing to comply or face sanctions. “But what exactly does ‘undermine’ mean, and who gets to decide?” said Balow. "The majority of the board? The amended code also requires that we will ‘not provide inaccurate, misleading, or false information concerning the University.' But who gets to decide what is ‘inaccurate’? Again, the majority of the board?” According to the foundation, the revisions were made

US LBM Coaches Poll: All three remaining Michigan opponents ranked

Michigan football has passed the point of no return after losing to the previously 2-6 Michigan State Spartans on Saturday. Last year, the Wolverines finished ranked despite having four losses, given who the losses were to. They'll receive no such grace this year, even if they win out. That's because the teams that Michigan has beaten aren't very good, and the upcoming teams on the schedule, UCLA aside, also aren't very good. Both Oregon and Ohio State are three-loss teams, with the latter's third loss coming courtesy of the former this Saturday. More losses may come for either team, but the Wolverines aren't likely to win any of the remaining three games on the schedule -- at the Ducks, hosting the Bruins , or at the Buckeyes. The latest US LBM Coaches Poll is out , and all three of Michigan's remaining opponents are ranked. Oregon returns after beating OSU, and is now 19th. UCLA is fourth, and the Buckeyes are 20th. Former opponents, Indiana and Iowa , are ranked fifth and 15th, respectively. Here are the full rankings: Rank Team Record PTS 1st Prev Chg Hi/Lo 1 Georgia Bulldogs 8-1 1796 54 2 1 1/4 2 Utah Utes 9-0

Basketball Season Heats Up Quickly

After struggling in a couple of exhibition games, Michigan State may have calmed a few nerves last week with regular season wins over Quinnipiac and Toledo. There were some defensive lapses, missed free throws, and many, many fouls against Toledo but the Spartans got off to quick starts in both games and mostly did what was expected against two solid mid-major teams.
