MSU
Nikolai Wasielewski, a
19-year-old Michigan State
University freshman, will
stand trial for tossing fire-
works into the front yard of
a house in East Lansing last
November, according to an
article published by The State
News on Friday. Police allege
that Wasielewski and three
other MSU students threw an
exploding firework from their
car into a friend's yard as a
prank on Nov. 1, 2009, accord-
ing to the article.
No damage was done to
the property, according to
the article. Wasielewski, who
,claimed he is innocent, faces
up to 15 years in prison.
Mike Nichols, Wasielewski's
attorney, told the State News
that hisclient is innocent.
"He didn't do anything
wrong, he didn't do anything
criminal," Nichols said in

guilty to misdemeanor
charges in return for a lesser

HARVARD RECEIVED
RECORD APPLICANTS
A record-breaking 30,000
students have applied for
admission to Harvard Uni-
versity, according to an arti-
cle in The Harvard Crimson.
William Fitzsimmons,
dean of admissions and finan-
cial aid, told the Crimson that
the number of received appli-
cations represents a 5-percent
increase from last year.
Fitzsimmons said the
increase is a result of more
financial aid offered, the
elimination of early-admis-
sion and Harvard's newly-
founded engineering school,
according to the article.
According to the article,
admissionsto Harvard's School
of Engineering and Applied
Sciences increased substan-
tially since it was created in
2007. Despite the increase in
applicants, Fitzsimmons said
Harvard will still continue its
conservative acceptance rate,
according to the article. Last
year, the university accepted 7
percent of applicants, accord-
ing to the article.
U. OF CHICAGO TO HIRE
60 NEW PROFESSORS
As many schools through-
out the country are cutting
faculty positions, the Univer-
sity of Chicago plans to hire
60 tenure-tracked faculty
members, according to the
UniversityofChicago Maroon
newspaper. The faculty body
will grow 1 percent each year
for the next five years as part
of the university's expansion,
according to the article.
University of Chicago Pro-
vost Thomas Rosenbaum told
the Maroon that most of the
new employees will be junior
faculty members so that they
may frise in rank over the years.
The expansion is part ofuni-
versity President Robert Zim-
mer's plan to strengthen the
university "across the board."
Rosenbaum said in the
article that the university
wanted new hires in "par-
ticularly exciting areas...with
intellectual need and educa-
tional impact."

FIRE
From Page 1A
work firefighters did involved
smoke clearance and ensuring
there were no flames behind walls
and deep within the structure of
the building.
She said the room where the.
fire started as well as the hallway
where the room was located, were
damaged by fire - with minor
water damages to other rooms
in that hall: No other floors were
affected.
While she does not yet have an
estimate as to the cost of dam-
ages, Brown said some electri-
cal and structural repairs will be
required.
"The fixtures in the hallway are
all melted," Brown said. "But the
student's room had the most dam-
age. There's really no other way to
describe how it looked than to say
his room is destroyed."
At 6 p.m. students in Cross
Housewereallowedbackintotheir
rooms, except for the students who
live in the affected hallway, Brown
said. University Housing is work-
ing with those eight students to
secure them temporary housing at
various residence halls on campus.
