For Jeff Campbell-Crawley, buying Fortress Comics & Games late last August fulfills a dream and mission.
Impression 5 Science Center, 200 Museum Drive in Lansing, was founded on the belief that science is best experienced when it can be touched and offers dynamic, interactive science activities — for children and adults. “So often people think we’re just a children’s science center and we’re not,” said Erik Larson, executive director of the museum. Larson is responsible for fostering relationships between the science center and the community. From a walk-through maze of the human heart to scientific demonstrations, Larson said that the center is designed for visitors to experience physical science. “We make anywhere from 25,000 to 27,000 batches of slime a year,” Larson said. “It’s by far our most popular demonstration that we’re doing.”

The Michigan Democrats have a challenge ahead of them. Regardless of any infighting surrounding presidential politics, Democrats must unite to fight to make Michigan relevant on the national political stage. The Michigan Democratic Party is planning on hosting a statewide primary on Jan. 15 — paid for with taxpayer money and alienating virtually all the candidates.
I am writing in response to Nathan Calverley’s letter Difference between political bickering, intelligent debating (SN 11/27). I would certainly agree there exists a certain degeneration of politics in our world today: Mudslinging and swift-boat tactics become very irritating when trying to debate what really matters. However, I think that such actions serve to spark the attention and interests of the public.
They’ve been getting a bad rap lately, but Tasers — when used responsibly and properly — can be extremely effective in terms of keeping someone safe.
Eric Thieleman made a mistake in his column Conservatives vs. Republicans (SN 11/21) when he said Ron Paul lacks funding in order to be seen as a serious contender in this election. Last quarter, Paul raised more than $5 million which put him right up with John McCain. Paul has already raised more than $9 million this quarter. He broke the record for the amount of money raised in one day online with $4.2 million on Nov. 5. His grassroots supporters are also planning another big day for him on Dec. 16. One of the many things that really sets Paul’s campaign apart from others is that his money mainly comes from people donating $100 or less. Most of the other candidates’ money comes from people donating over $2,000. What is better? A few votes from people who each donated $2,300, or many votes from people who each donated $15?

There’s only one thing MSU students and faculty say they can do after today’s Mideast peace conference: Wait. The conference, held in Annapolis, Md., isn’t as important as the weeks and months following it, said Bryan Stone, campus political coordinator for Spartans for Israel. “It has the potential to start actual meaningful negotiations between Israel and Palestine,” he said. “But it’s important they don’t block off the possibility for progress when they disagree on key points.”
