BASKETBALL

WNIT game attendance is disappointing

Ice hockey — out. Men’s basketball — out. In terms of the postseason, the MSU women’s basketball team is all we have left. The Spartans will play in the semifinals of the WNIT on Wednesday with a change to play in a national championship game.

FEATURES

Fierce Fashion

It could have been the short black bobbed wigs atop his models’ heads. Or maybe the elegant pleated collar framing one gray shift dress. It might have even been the orange patterned jacket with the puffy sleeves. Whatever it was, it made apparel and textile design senior Tony Gianacakos the winner of MSU’s Project Runway.

How to hem your pants

There’s no need to pitch a fit if your pants don’t fit correctly. With a few simple hemming tricks, you can take the length of your pants a long way.

COMMENTARY

Wrongfully convicted deserve compensation

Legislation making its way through the Michigan House of Representatives could soon allow the wrongly convicted to sue the state for at least $50,000 for each year they spent in prison, a law similar to those already in existence in 22 other states.

COMMENTARY

University policy must be modified

The university’s Anti-Discrimination Policy needs to be changed, and we propose doing so. You see, the ADP is used to punish anyone who discriminates against or harasses others, including both violators of actual law and violators of “university community … standards of conduct more stringent than those mandated by law.”

ICE HOCKEY

Four-closure

The MSU hockey team’s quest to defend its national title went up in blue and gold smoke Saturday night. With a trip to the Frozen Four on the line, No. 4 seed Notre Dame continued its improbable run with a 3-1 win over the Spartans at World Arena. With a win and a tie against the Fighting Irish this season MSU had reason to be confident heading into the game. Unfortunately, it never translated to this game. “I knew exactly what type of game they would play and (head coach) Jeff (Jackson) had them ready,” MSU head coach Rick Comley said.
