The Tower Guard at Michigan State University has announced that they will be opening the Beaumont Tower for tours for the first time this year to celebrate Homecoming. Tours will take place Saturday, October 15th, 2016, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. before the homecoming football game against Northwestern. They invite every student, alumni, parent, and lover of Beaumont Tower to come experience the inside of this beautiful Michigan State landmark. In addition to the tours of Beaumont held on Saturday, the Tower Guard will also be marching in the Homecoming Parade alongside their float on Friday, October 14th, at 6:00p.m.


The Michigan State Tower Guard is a volunteer based organization selected from the top five percent of the freshman class. These devoted students are committed to leadership, scholarship, character, and service and donate 120 hours of their time to volunteering with the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities throughout their Sophomore year. Many volunteers transfer textbooks into braille or audible versions, scribe notes and exams for students, and provide sighted guide. Tower Guard is one of the oldest student-run organizations on campus and is the only student organization to hold the keys to Beaumont Tower. A common misconception is that the Tower Guard literally guards Beaumont Tower. This is not the case. In fact, they mostly utilize the Tower to hold E-Board meetings.

Furthermore, Tower Guard does not stop participating in campus events after homecoming. They are also present in many campus fundraisers and events such Alex's Great State Race which is the running of the game ball the sixty-four mile trek from Ann Arbor to East Lansing by two double marathoners and the ROTC programs of both schools on Friday, October 28th, 2016. This race is run in celebration and memory of Alex Powell, a former Michigan State Student who worked closely with the Resource Center for Persons with Disabilities while undergoing cancer treatment at the University of Michigan. Join the Tower Guard at the finish line at Demonstration Hall at about 1:30p.m. to cheer on the runners.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
