Michigan State University's Kellogg Center receiving facelift

EAST LANSING — The Kellogg Center, located on Michigan State University's campus, is getting a facelift in efforts to “Sparty up” the hotel and conference center’s aesthetics. Phase one of the construction project, which includes exterior improvements to the hotel and conference center’s porte-cochere — the roofed structure that protrudes over the entrance to the building allowing for cars and pedestrians protection from the elements — began on Sept. 28. The porte-cochere was in need of a new roof, downspouts and fresh signage that fits with the university’s current design standards. During phase one of the project the sidewalk and main entrance will be closed intermittently until the work is done, which is projected to be mid-December. The parking garage entrance will remain open as usual during the construction. MSU asks that community members avoid the area on Harrison Road during the construction if possible. Interior renovations to the State Room restaurant, the center’s lobby and some meeting rooms are part of phase two of the project, which is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2027. A university spokesperson did not respond to inquires about how much the university was spending on the project. This article originally appeared

Howell wins final KLAA football title behind Jack Gondick’s 234 yards

HOWELL — Howell’s lone loss during the 2025 regular season came against Northville. Had that 17-7 letdown not happened, Howell might not have been celebrating a 9-0 regular season and its third straight league title in the final Kensington Lakes Activities Association championship game Friday, Oct. 23. And there’s an even greater chance junior fullback Jack Gondick wouldn’t have been mobbed by teammates after rushing for 234 yards and earning game MVP honors in a 35-22 payback victory over Northville. Because, really, Gondick’s story starts after that Week 3 loss last season. He watched from the sidelines, practically fuming that he couldn’t get on the field enough to help his teammates pull off a comeback against Northville. He just knew he could make a difference if he played more. So the following Monday, he approached Howell coach Brian Lewis at practice and pleaded his case for more playing time. More: Subscribe to our high school football newsletter “He said he was willing to do whatever it takes to win the job,” Lewis said. Lewis didn’t hesitate to give Gondick a chance to prove himself. He threw him into Howell’s signature drill, “win the line.” Essentially, it’s a one-on-one battle in

MSU's Guskiewicz on Trustee Vassar lawsuit: It won't be a 'distraction'

Michigan State University President Kevin Guskiewicz declined to discuss the specifics of a federal lawsuit brought against him and other university officials by Board of Trustees member Rema Vasser earlier this week. Guskiewicz said the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit on Oct. 20, was "unfortunate." Vasser has long had a strained relationship with several members of the Board of Trustees and Guskiewicz, and in the 40-page lawsuit, she alleged there was a "campaign of intentional discrimination and retaliation against her." Vassar was the first Black woman to be chair of the Board of Trustees when she was elected in January 2023. She stepped down as chair but kept her board seat in March 2024. "I have to be honest with you, I haven't even read the suit," Guskiewicz told The Detroit News on Thursday, Oct. 22. "You know, in these roles that we're in, these things happen. I think, yes, it's unfortunate, but what I will say is that those sorts of things will never become a distraction for me. "I've got 51,000 students that I need to be focused on, and these are incredible students, one of the largest incoming classes in the history of the

Enquirer predicts which teams make high school football playoffs, who they will play

BATTLE CREEK - Is your team in the playoffs? That's the question every high school football team in Michigan faces heading into the final game of the regular season. A few years ago, getting six wins in the regular season was an automatic qualifier, with a simplified points system figuring out the rest of the field. MORE: MHSAA football playoff standings, storylines and more ahead of Week 9 Starting a few seasons ago, the entire playoff invitation list was determined by a points system based mainly on strength of schedule. And that is true again this year as the tournament pairings will be announced Sunday evening by the Michigan High School Athletic Association. Six wins doesn't necessarily get you in. Not getting six wins doesn't necessarily leave you out. And this year, things get a little more complicated. Instead of seeding strictly by local districts first, the MHSAA will organize each division into eight-team regions and seed those by playoff point averages. So the Enquirer will bring back its playoff crystal ball and predict the area teams that will be in the playoffs and, in some cases, who they might play. Safely in, but who will they play? There are

MSU professor debuts documentary questioning ethics of surveillance

A documentary created by 33-time regional Emmy Award winner and MSU professor Troy Hale tackles the growing pervasiveness of the surveillance state by drawingseveral comparisons between present reality and the dystopian novel "1984" by George Orwell. "1984 wasn't meant to be a how-to book, it was supposed to be a warning," Hale said in a post-viewing Q&A. The documentary, "Humanity (1984/2026),"premiered on Thursday as a program for the ongoing "Reality Check" MSU Museum exhibition, which runs until Dec. 12.The documentary goes beyond asking what is technologically possible to analyze and the morality of technology's usage. "It really showcases, what I personally believe, is the embodiment of reality check," said Brittany Carter, the MSU Museum education program coordinator, adding that the documentary questions whether the cons are "really worth"the pros for artificial intelligence surveillance. Surveillance is not always associated with AI either, Carter said, but cited Flock cameras, which uses AIto capture, record and analyze data to identify potential criminal violations. "I don't think a lot of people might know that Flock cameras use AI or those kinds of traffic cameras use AI, and then require all of these data centers,"Carter said. Like Orwell's cautionary tale, the film argues the belief
