Junior Katie Broyles is a flight commander in MSU’s Air Force ROTC program. Though she’s excited for the opportunities the program will present, she knows the road will not be easy.

Broyles knows her future career in the Air Force won’t be easy– regardless of the job she does– but she says this is a major reason she decided to pursue a life in the military.

Local vinyl music store thrives desipte digital age

While the music industry struggles to keep up with the instant gratification ideals that are present among many members of the information generation, one local music store is doing just fine.

The owners of Flat, Black and Circular say they have experienced some degree of slower business since companies like Napster took the world by storm. But overall, they’re happy with the number of students and community members who still understand the value of owning hard copies of music– the kind that you pay for, and the kind that isn’t stored on your iPod.
