MSU’s Mobile Animal Clinic not to continue this summer

FOOTBALL

Spartans set to relax, heal during bye week

While head coach Mark Dantonio and the MSU football coaching staff are recruiting during the bye week, tired and banged up players are using the time to recover and take advantage of a couple days off. The Spartans (4-1 overall, 1-0 Big Ten) took three days off after the 10-7 win over Ohio State (3-2, 0-1) and began practice again Wednesday. At his press conference Wednesday, Dantonio said he approaches each bye week differently, depending on the season, but as it is still early in the Big Ten season, he said the week will be a time to evaluate before moving on to No.

ICE HOCKEY

Anastos pleased with team's style of play

For Tom Anastos and the MSU hockey team, there were many positives to take away from the first game of the season. Aside from handing a 6-1 thrashing to Western Ontario, the Spartans showed resilience and energy to start the Anastos era off on a good note. Although tougher national opponents await, Anastos acknowledged the style of the Spartans’ play and heaped praise on the team’s opening win. “There was a lot to like, actually,” Anastos said.

COMMENTARY

Red Cedar school most diverse in E.L.

I am writing to clarify some facts regarding the quote from Lindsey Little-Clayton in The State News article “Red Cedar Closure Decision Pending” (SN 9/27). Ms. Little-Clayton stated, “To imply that Red Cedar (Elementary School) is the only school with diversity is both wrong and offensive.” It is not implied that Red Cedar is the only East Lansing school with diversity.
