MSU

Late head start

Justin McAdams has spent much of his freshman year struggling to keep up with the pace of college. His classes begin at 8:30 a.m. most mornings and don’t stop until late in the afternoon. He sometimes stops at the library between classes just to get a nap in.

SOCCER

Women's soccer set for difficult, emotional weekend

Coming into the most important weekend of the season, the MSU women’s soccer team will be carrying heavy hearts. Even as 13-time defending Big Ten Champion Penn State and Ohio State come to town, the minds and the thoughts of Spartan players will be fixated on the passing of Adalin Farnum.

COMMENTARY

Enjoy homecoming with respect, pride

I see the looks on people’s faces when I mention my friends Omar, Yousif and Amir. I can tell what they’re thinking. To put it lightly, it’s unjust.
