Some MSU students and faculty members may feel the burn of Pfizer Inc.'s announcement Monday that 2,400 jobs will be leaving Michigan. The company's decision to cut jobs and close facilities in Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo and Plymouth Township triggered a press conference from Gov.
East Lansing's first 100 years will be immortalized in welded steel this year, after being sculpted by the hands of John Neering, a 1951 MSU alumnus and resident of Grand Rapids. The three-part sculpture will depict abstract people joined together as one in a circular build and will stand 7 feet tall at its highest point. The East Lansing City Council approved the design at it's meeting Tuesday, though one member expressed concern about it.
It's difficult to share the ball any better than the Spartans did Wednesday night. Of MSU's 29 field goals, 25 were assisted.
I didn't expect everyone to agree with my viewpoints in "Column shows ignorance in logic-based argument" (SN 1/19), but I did expect a sound and relevant response, neither of which has happened. Laura Godek made a severe error in "Ancient, current thinkers reject God's existence" (SN 1/23) by saying that I claimed "there is no evidence disproving the existence of God." Not only did I not say that, I didn't even imply it.
I am writing in response to Steve Sutton, whose letter "Recycling does not save resources, reduce costs" (SN 1/22) enlightened me to a new way of thinking about recycling.
Fixing the state's budget crisis might come at the cost of increased tuition for Michigan's college students, according to Steve Webster, MSU's vice president of governmental affairs. Gov.
Commemorate Black History Month through a presentation filled with poems, historical readings, art and music The event is Feb.
We Americans are often known for our optimism. Still a young country, only 231 years old, we have had a great track record with our revolutions, our inventions and even our overall red-white-and-blue history.
Would you be willing to pay a sales tax on services such as haircuts, moving companies and financial advising? "Yes, extra tax money for government spending isn't that big of a deal." Joe Gessler finance sophomore "Yes, so the government can get the money to pay expenses like fixing roads, and paying police and firefighters." Matt Gill accounting freshman "Yes, I think the economy is in trouble, and needs anything to help get us back on the right footing." Amber VanderWeide history senior
May 2007 will release another group of MSU graduates into the job market with one question in mind: "What's next?" For some, the job search will be relatively short and painless, but many will find it a long and unwelcome trek. The most recent blow to Michigan's economical infrastructure is the recently announced closing of Pfizer Inc. research and development facility in Ann Arbor.
Icy roads and snow-blanketed highways are causing trouble for local motorists, while some East Lansing residents are faced with fines for not clearing their sidewalks. Since the beginning of the year, nine residents have received an $85 ticket from East Lansing's Parking and Code Enforcement, or PACE, for not removing snow and ice from the sidewalks around their homes.
The No. 23 MSU women's basketball team has never won at Penn State. The Spartans are 0-12 at Bryce Jordan Center, a number they are looking to bring to a halt at 6 p.m.
Just like a curdled, putrid carton of milk immediately would be thrown away, cosmetics should also should be kicked to the curb after acquiring mysterious smells and textures. Eye products have a shelf life of six months, said Carey Nelson, the spa development and curriculum manager at Douglas J.
Despite recent information listing Abrams Planetarium as possibly being demolished, Planetarium Director David Batch said those plans are "outdated." A Dec.
Responding to fan mail is a privilege I enjoy. My first offering of the semester, "Rising numbers of nonbelievers increase popularity of atheism" (SN 1/16), generated a number of letters. Joe O'Connell's was my favorite.
I was shocked to read Steve Sutton's negative opinion on recycling, "Recycling does not save resources, reduce costs" (SN 1/22). What sort of credentials could he possess to justify his claim that 6,000 students "should be chastised for their ignorance"? Especially after petitioning MSU to reverse the university's distinction as "the last Big Ten school without a comprehensive recycling program available to everyone within the university," according to the student environmental group Eco. The intelligent readers of this paper know that his casual observation that separate trucks are required to pick up recyclables does not prove his point.
Islam Awareness Week begins with a short documentary about a Christian living in a Muslim household in Dearborn.
By Alison Freehling McClatchy Newspapers It's an unfortunate truth: As people get older, their metabolism — the process by which the body burns calories from food — can slow down by as much as 25-30 percent.
Fashion changes quicker than anyone can keep up with. What was considered cool and "in" last season is no longer socially acceptable to wear this season.
