Hillsdale grad builds ultra-fast computer mapping library

Hillsdale College graduate Isaac Myhal recently developed a computer mapping library that he found outperformed several established tools during testing with C++. The project grew out of the alum's senior thesis in computer science, according to a community announcement. In the wake of his creation, he's made the library available for public use . A mapping system allows computers to use one piece of information to retrieve another, such as looking up a word to find a definition or a name to find an address. All computers rely on mapping for tasks ranging from loading web pages to supporting programming languages. Myhal built the library using features available in the programming language C++. More: Hillsdale College will establish new program for Corps of Cadets “The work (Myhal) and his advisor Dr. Oliver Serang did here ranks among the most impressive research projects students have done in our department,” wrote Associate Professor of Computer Science John Seiffertt. — Contact reporter Evan Sasiela at esasiela@usatodayco.com .

Guest Commentary: MSU should reject 'the Putin violinist'

Michigan State University's College of Music will host a virtual masterclass with controversial Kremlin connected violinist, Vadim Repin on Nov. 11. Students should question why MSU is hosting the so-called "Putin violinist." The Kremlin portrays artists like Vadim Repin as a way of presenting the positive side of Russian culture to cover up their invasion of Ukraine. This soft weapon technique is aimed at removing crippling economic sanctions and forgiveness of 227,000 war crimes . Repin portrays himself as apolitical but he reeks of Kremlin influence. His sanctioned wife Svetlana Zakharova is with the ruling United Russia party. She previously endorsed Russia's invasion of Crimea along with 500 other artists. Then in April 2025, Repin participated in a concert broadcasted to Crimea , perceived as a validation of Russia's illegal occupation of the peninsula. In April 2022, Repin was awarded "People's Artist of Russia" by Putin. His arts festival has received funding from Putin's cultural initiatives fund and he recently applied for a $1.2 million dollar grant. Critics allege this fund supports Russian nationalism and aggression. Repin's acceptance of Russian state financial incentives and awards obligates his silence about Russia's war. Any doubts that Repin is a Kremlin propagandist were
