I was astounded to read the State News editorial justifying raises for William Strampel, dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine (58 percent), Marsha Rappley, dean of the College of Human Medicine (26 percent) and Provost Kim Wilcox (20 percent) — all within a three-year period.
I am writing with a concern about the State News editorial “Royal Hanneford Circus should remain on campus”:http://statenews.com/index.php/article/2010/03/royal_hanneford_circus_should_remain_on_campus_ (SN 3/5). I myself am an avid animal rights activist.
According to a recent report released by the Department of Homeland Security’s, or DHS, Office of Inspector General, between 2006 and 2008 the department lost 289 weapons in the line of duty. No amount of language can demonstrate the actual gravity of this properly enough, so I will just state it as plainly as possible: DHS agents literally lost and forgot their weapons.
Many students might be shocked to learn that after MSU veterinary students perform educational surgery on a live animal, the subjects are euthanized shortly thereafter. That method soon will be history now that MSU has decided to change its policies on the use of live animals for learning — a right move as long as the quality of education doesn’t suffer.
With its NCAA Tournament hopes on the line, the No. 10 MSU hockey team was controlled by Michigan for the second straight game as the Wolverines defeated the Spartans, 5-3, on Saturday at Munn Ice Arena. The win gave U-M the series victory in the CCHA quarterfinal matchup and likely ends the Spartans’ season, barring an unforeseen at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Spartans’ most dynamic offensive threat came out of the tunnel after warm-ups and skated for about 30 seconds in front of the MSU bench before heading back into the locker room. An MSU athletics communications official said Tropp stepped on a puck during warm-ups.
Indianapolis – The same group of upperclassmen, captains and leaders who put the MSU men’s basketball team on their back Friday against Minnesota were the same ones that clanked late free throws and ran out of gas down the stretch in the Spartans’ 72-67 loss.
Indianapolis — Two pairs of missed free throws in overtime and clutch shooting from Minnesota hurt the MSU men’s basketball team Friday night as the Spartans lost, 72-67, to the Golden Gophers at Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The Spartans’ quarterfinal loss in the Big Ten Tournament means they will be off until the start of the NCAA Tournament next week.
Home ice advantage, tournament seedings and season records were put aside Friday night at Munn Ice Arena as the Michigan Wolverines gave MSU an old-fashioned whooping, routing MSU 5-1 in the quarterfinals of the CCHA Tournament. The Spartans likely will need to win the final two games of the best-of-three series to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Indianapolis — With a dominating 76-55 win Thursday against No. 11 seed Penn State in the first round of the men’s Big Ten Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse, the No. 6 seed Minnesota Golden Gophers advance to face MSU, which defeated Minnesota twice already this year and had a first-round bye. Minnesota and MSU are scheduled to tip-off at 9 p.m. Friday.

MSU junior guard Kalin Lucas was selected to the All-Big Ten first team and sophomore guard Draymond Green was a unanimous selection for the conference’s Sixth Man of the Year, the conference announced Monday night.
