H. Res. 487

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                       October 1, 2009.
Whereas, on March 10, 1909, the first edition of the Holcad was printed at 
        Michigan Agricultural College;
Whereas the Holcad was founded to defend the student body of Michigan 
        Agricultural College against criticism;
Whereas the Holcad eventually changed its name to the State News, and Michigan 
        Agricultural College became Michigan State University;
Whereas in 1971, the State News became a 501(c)3 organization, independent from 
        Michigan State University;
Whereas the State News employs hundreds of students and trains them in 
        reporting, photography, design, web programming, and advertising;
Whereas for 100 years, the State News has connected students to each other and 
        other members of the East Lansing community;
Whereas the State News provides an avenue for students and members of the East 
        Lansing community to voice their opinions and report news; and
Whereas the State News has upheld a commitment to journalism and has created a 
        more informed and unified citizen body: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes the 100th anniversary 
of the State News.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
