The MSU women’s basketball team’s offense collapsed during Sunday’s game against Minnesota.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his own TV network, billions of dollars and an entire city to run. But while many political analysts have speculated Bloomberg could make a run for the presidency, it doesn’t appear MSU students would help him get into the Oval Office.
A shutout and a tie. The two polar opposites happened in a dramatic weekend series against No. 1 Michigan. The MSU hockey team blanked the Wolverines Friday at Yost Ice Arena in Ann Arbor. The last time U-M was shut out at home was Feb. 28, 2003, and the Spartans were to blame.

Living away from home seems like a simple concept, but it’s not. When you first arrive on campus, there are no bills or grocery store trips to deal with. You spend your days wandering by Sparty or admiring the greenery near Beaumont Tower.
Nothing breaks up a party quicker than a police officer knocking on a door. Noise is the biggest problem when it comes to MSU partying, East Lansing police Capt. Kim Johnson said.
Certain liberties are granted to college students when they move away from home. Privileges students have always dreamt about are commonplace — late nights with no curfews or check-in times, drinking beer at will or bringing your significant other back to “your place.”

While many students living off campus next fall made housing arrangements months ago, the process is beginning for those planning to return to the dorms.

It was a tale of two student sections Saturday at the hockey game against Michigan. To the majority of the students, primarily to those to the right of the band: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Go shopping, America. It’s on the government. In an agreement between Congress and the White House, tax refunds — granting rebates of about $300 to $1,200 — would be distributed as early as May to help stimulate consumer spending and give the economy a much-needed boost.

When I read about the death of Hollywood star Heath Ledger on the cover of Tuesday’s New York Times, I was shocked.
