I've been working on a version of a new expanded MSU page over in my sandbox. --cpritchett42 23:08, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Need to update "campus" section. The most recent president is not Alexander but Dunn

[edit] Concern?
The article sounds like something an HR department put together as a vanity article. It should be more factual without so much fluff.
- What article are you referring to as being filled with fluff? The article here for MSU is almost all facts. I don't see much fluff in there at all, so I'm not sure what your comment is directed it. Please provide more explanation.
[edit] Ideas
I think there should be something in the article about student events. Eamples: All Campus Sing, Step Show, Campus Light (the nation's longest running student produced musical), Mr. and Mrs. MSU.
There are also so many Campus Ministries (Wesley Foundation, Baptist Student Union etc.)
You can verify these events by contact student services.
- That information isn't very encyclopedic. If there is something that's notable that sets MSU apart, it should be here. Otherwise, it belongs on MSU's site, not Wikipedia. cpritchett42 19:35, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Athletics
I debated taking the part out about the football team's arrest record, because it was so poorly placed. But I moved it to the bottom of the athletics section instead of at the very bottom of the article. cpritchett42 14:36, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
- Ok, so maybe that didn't exactly shine the best light on the university, but if you ask just about anybody on campus or in this town, they'd agree with that statement. So I don't particularly care for the blantent censorship of taking it out, especially without any kind of justification or explanation. cpritchett42 15:17, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

- The NBA player, Popeye Jones, also attended Murray State, should be considered as a notable alumni in my opinion. groomsy57 16:12, 29 March 2006
[edit] Expansion
This article could use a good deal more information. There is a lot more to the university than the campus itself and the Athletic department (although it's hard to tell looking at where all the money goes). cpritchett42 03:59, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
Someone should go ahead and merge that MIFA article into this article I think. It would do fine as a subsection under Campus Life I believe.
[edit] The News
Go MSU Racers, woohoo
I'll get you...officer Overby!
Whoa, wait, The News got Pacemaker awards? What the heck was the awards board smoking? Rogue 9 01:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
- Well, while the paper may be very opinionated and often writes what many would consider "flame-bait", it could be a lot worse. cpritchett42 01:09, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
