Student plans "Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day": Our video allows you to hear him in his own words - Conservative campus activist Kyle Bristow and his group Young Americans for Freedom plan to host this controversial event, which echoes the uneasiness surrounding the KKK rally at the Capitol last spring. Bristow explains his positions on major issues to Edger Jess Lipowski, who will continue to report on plans for the immigration protest.

Kyle Bristow's Web site shows him with a number of prominent Republicans, including this picture of Bristow shaking hands with Michigan gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos. It remains to be seen whether candidates such as DeVos, Newt Gingrich and Tom Tancredo will distance themselves from his immigration protest.

Denim day exceeds expectations

Update and video by Erika Fifelski

The Cotton’s Dirty Laundry Tour campaign on the MSU campus collected a total of 1,230 denim donations.

“That is more than double our goal,” said Mandy Sharp, a member of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA).

The campaign included student donations on the day of the event, pre-donations collected around campus and contributions from local thrift stores. Activities included free t-shirt customization, the Label Grab, the Question Wheel of Cotton and the Laundry Sort, with prizes such as video iPods, sweatshirts, footballs, basketballs and music downloads.

All denim collected was donated to the Cotton: From Blue to Green program. East Lansing’s denim donations will be turned into UltraTouch insulation for a school in Baton Rouge.

Cotton’s Dirty Laundry tour will cover the nation and MSU was the second stop. For more information, visit www.accesscotton.com.
