No Doubt Controversy

Victoria’s Secret Angels aren't the only ones raising eyebrows for allegedly “racial” costumes.  

Musical group No Doubt was under fire last week after lead singer Gwen Stefani wore a Native American-themed ensemble in the band’s newest music video, “Looking Hot.”

According to their website, the “multi-racial band” pulled the video and released an apology on Nov. 3rd, just weeks after it’s premier earlier this month.

The band said their intentions with the video “was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history.”

“Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people,” No Doubt said. 

The band said the issue was “of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately.”

“We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are,” No Doubt said.

Victoria's Secret Controversy

One thing will be missing from the annual Victoria’s Secret Runway Show airing December 4th on CBS and it sure isn’t controversy.

Supermodel Karlie Kloss, 20, hit the runway Wednesday night, flaunting more than just an incredible body; a controversial Native American-themed costume.

Kloss strutted the runway in a floor-length red, black and white headdress accompanied by a leopard-print bra and panty set, accessorized with tan fringe and tons of sliver and teal jewelry.  

Earlier today she tweeted “I am deeply sorry if what I wore during the VS Show offended anyone. I support VS’s decision to remove the outfit from the broadcast.”

The underwear brand released an apology on the official Victoria's Secret Twitter page, which stated, “we are sorry that the Native American headdress in our fashion show has upset individuals. The outfit will be removed from the broadcast.”

Resident Assistants says students are safe from "the elements" in residence halls.

According to Michigan State University Resident Assistant Adam Burns, students are protected against storms and severe weather in the dorms.

"The concrete and steel-reinforced walls are thick enough to protect students from storms...and the stairwells and certain door in the residence halls are fire-proof," Burns said.

RAs are also trained to direct students in tornado safety in the event of a tornado on campus.

"We are told to gather as many or our residents as possible into the hall, with all doors and windows closed, and sit on the floor in tornado-bracing position," Burns said.

As for the secret wish of a snow day, students' only hopes come from an old YouTube video about a previous MSU snow day.

They are dry and they are warm, but are students safe?

As the weather gets colder and blizzard season approaches, Michigan State University students wonder how safe they are in the residence halls.

And although George Lessens of WZZM 13 news predicts a cold and dry winter this year, one MSU student hope the weather is mild.

"I hope there isn't a lot of snow because that makes walking to class extremely difficult," said sophomore Ryan Fetters. 

In the event of severe weather, Michigan State Police share safety tips in an attempt to protect the public.

Students also wonder the likelihood of class cancellations due to heavy snowfall.

Could this winter hold another snow day?
