The final three students allegedly involved in disturbances that caused more than $40,000 of damage to campus and the city were arraigned today in 54-B District Court.

A total of 22 people, including 17 students, have now pleaded innocent to charges ranging from inciting a riot and indecent exposure to being intoxicated in public and minor in possession.

Some of the cases - mostly those involving inciting a riot and property damage - will go to the Ingham County Prosecutor's Office, while others will stay within East Lansing officials' jurisdiction.

Five students arraigned in the charges have contacted ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government, for legal help, said Brian Jeffries, one of the legal services lawyers.

Four students have been suspended by university officials for their alleged involvement following two men's basketball games. Those students cannot seek council from ASMSU because they no longer have student status.

"It puts the students in a tight bind - a Catch-22," Jeffries said.
