Most everyone by this point has at least some awareness of the fact that the great state of Michigan’s economy is somewhat, to put it delicately, less robust than it once was, thanks to foreign car markets, outsourcing, any number of pin-the-blame-on-the-crisis style reasons anyone might want to throw at it. A natural extension of this, of course, is the fact that decreasing amounts of money being made by people in the state lead to decreasing amounts of tax dollars – and for a state-funded institution (which LSSU is – don’t let the bill in your mailbox fool you), that means concerns.

Bayliss Public Library is a fairly quiet establishment of Downtown Sault Ste. Marie. However, the building is a cultural watering hole. The building is home to the poetry café, the cabin fever writers’ meetings, and film showings. Thursday night, Bayliss reinstated its Superior poetry café with poet A Van Jordan in a public reading enjoyed by nearly fifty locals. Be first to comment this article | Add as favourites (0) |

The weekend of September 21 on Mackinaw Island there was more going on than just horses, tourists, and fudge on the island. The Grand Hotel hosted the 27th biannual Republican leadership conference. The theme for this year is “relying on our roots” and it allows Michigan grassroots activists, party leaders, legislators, and statewide elected officials to be able to gather and discuss important issues.

We as college students, with our classes and multiple low-paying jobs and complicated social networks, are short on both time and money, so we are always looking for ways to get food in our systems quickly and cheaply. Frank’s Place, on Portage Street, appears to have caught onto this fact, and is now offering LSSU Students half-price meals on Monday evenings (4 PM – closing) on one condition – that those who want to get their dinners half price bring their study materials, and that they do some form of studying while they are in the restaurant. Owner Marta La Londe explains that “We’re doing this as a gesture of support for studying... we understand that you’re busy and you’re poor, so we just want you to be able to come here and eat cheaply.” Originally this special was offered on Sunday evenings, but La Londe was getting the impression that students don’t do very much studying on Sundays, so she has just this week decided to change the day to Monday.
