Keenan Named Division II Player of the Year

by Published: Mar 30, 2011

From the pre­sea­son to the post-season, Bulldog senior cen­ter Justin Keenan was the best  player in Division II col­lege basketball.

After being named the Division II Bulletin Preseason National Player of the Year, Keenan took home the Division II Bulletin National Player of the Year award on March 28.

In the first time in Ferris his­tory, a Bulldog player claimed the National Player of the Year award for the men’s bas­ket­ball pro­gram.
“This cul­mi­nates Justin’s out­stand­ing career and is a direct result of all the hard work and ded­i­ca­tion he’s made over the last four years,” said Ferris head coach Bill Sall.

Keenan, who became the GLIAC’s all-time lead­ing scorer this sea­son with 2,259 career points, ranks sec­ond in Ferris his­tory in career scoring.

Gov. Prankster

Snyder is making a joke out of the Michigan people

by Published: Mar 30, 2011

All right, Governor Rick Snyder, stop fool­ing around. This is a prank, right? This is some hoax you and Ashton Kutcher came up with for the biggest “Punk’d” moment of all time, right?

Nope. We’re doomed. Snyder is shaft­ing Michiganders. His plan? Privatizing pris­ons, screw­ing democ­racy, dumb­ing down the peo­ple of Michigan, reap­ing ben­e­fits from the poor, and invest­ing that money into cor­po­ra­tions. (more…)

by Published: Mar 30, 2011

After months of hard work and ded­i­ca­tion, the Music Industry Management Association will finally present FSU with its first ever elec­tronic music concert.

MIMA has been col­lab­o­rat­ing with other reg­is­tered stu­dent orga­ni­za­tions since the mid­dle of November to make this con­cert a pos­si­bil­ity at Ferris. Besides hold­ing for­mal meet­ings to get financ­ing and approval for the event, the group also had to get spon­sors and do all the pro­mo­tion. Over 100 vol­un­teers have helped the nine stu­dents who orig­i­nally began work­ing to make this con­cert a real­ity. (more…)
