Friday Find-it Prize #4


I've been running out of places to hide Jabber Jaw, so this prize is going to be an easy one. We've got a handful of the 3"x5" postcards commemorating the MSC smokestack, and you only have to find JJ in one picture to win.

Just as a reminder, here's how:

  1. Watch for a link to the “Friday Find-it” link to be posted on Twitter and Facebook at 2:30pm on Friday
  2. Save a copy of the image onto your computer
  3. Find Jabber Jaw
  4. Put a circle around him using Paint, PhotoShop, or an online image editor like Pixlr
  5. Send the image (with Jabber Jaw circled) back to us in a Facebook message
  6. Come to the MSU Surplus Store during open hours to claim your prize!
Good luck!

MSU Bikes fix-it station

To go along with MSU's recognition as a Bicycle Friendly University, MSU Bikes has installed a new cyclist-friendly Dero fix-it station outside their service center in Bessey Hall.

The station's arms allow a bike to be hung by its seat or frame, giving the user easier access to the parts without having to squat or kneel. An air pump, wrenches, hex keys, screwdrivers, and other maintenance tools are either attached or built right in, so most basic repairs can be handled without assistance at any time, day or night.

MSU has been working consistently to promote more sustainable transportation options, and more of these stations could be installed as bike traffic on campus continues to increase.

We just got in around 250 outdoor plants, each including care and species details. They are $19 each and come in 3 gallon planters. Click here to see more pictures.

We also have vermicompost for $2.50/lb (limited time only) and pelletized compost in 20 lbs bags for $20 and 7 lbs shakers for $12.50
