Many people are dying in name of different faiths
Religion — what a mess. It is the cause for countless deaths and destruction, and the only lives it saves are the few who don't commit suicide because it is a sin. Yet people still believe in an all-powerful being they can't see, hear, touch or feel.
UVA, UVB rays both contribute to damage
Dear Dr. D, I am pasty white, and I'm planning on going to Florida for spring break.
Spartans hope to improve tourney status
While the growing number of "bracketologists" attempting to predict the NCAA Tournament field are undoubtedly operating more from conjecture than fact — MSU men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo jokingly called them "proctologists" last week — their projections can be a fairly accurate gauge of a team's standing.

Committee to help raise $20M for school
There's still another $20 million needed in private funding to construct MSU College of Human Medicine's new medical building in Grand Rapids, and university officials are relying on some of the city's top business entrepreneurs to raise the money. Grand Action Committee, a nonprofit organization of about 250 Grand Rapids community leaders, has been signed on as a partner to The Secchia Center since the project's inception in 2003. "We took responsibility for (the project)," said David Frey, co-chairman of the committee.
Comley questions late decisions in Friday game
The Spartans were centimeters away from playing an overtime frame in Friday's 4-3 loss to Western Michigan. After taking a closer look, maybe they should have been in overtime. Sophomore forward Tim Kennedy sent the puck toward the net and supposedly hit the left goal post in the waning seconds of the game.
MSU department seeks faculty, funds
For Saulo Gouveia, MSU's only full-time Portuguese faculty member, the development of the Spanish and Portuguese department is crucial. "Having someone to share the responsibilities and ideas for the program will help me tremendously," he said in an e-mail.

Voices left out of American history
Frederick Douglass. Granville Woods. Rosa Parks. Malcolm X. These names aren't recognizable because of what we read in our primary school textbooks.
Ousted group aims to rejoin ASMSU
Members of Great Issues, a group that claimed to bring progressive voices to campus, are saying the group's removal from ASMSU's Programming Board was unjustified and are lobbying to be reinstated. The group was removed Feb.
Board may remodel MSU school
This may be the MSU School of Music's final week of existence. If approved at the MSU Board of Trustees meeting Friday, the school will become the College of Music. "My hope would be that the board will view this as a positive move forward to celebrate the strength that the School of Music has accumulated over the last period of time," said Jim Forger, director of the school.

Michiganians don't have to go far for relaxation or comfort. One step into a Douglas J facility and customers become guests. The East Lansing-based salon is expanding to offer its services throughout the state, opening its latest branch in Grand Rapids.

Students share beauty from within
It is said that true beauty comes from within. But at the end of the day, that "inner beauty" is still contained in a physical, flesh and blood package, and let's face it, that package needs some upkeep from time to time. The beauty industry is a universe devoted to "perfecting" the human form.
Writer's new material criticizes other religions
Over the last several years, I've been a big fan of John Bice's humorous columns. I always flip to the Opinion Page in hopes of finding new material by Mr. Bice, and I am frequently rewarded with a comedic gem.
DeHaan emerging as Big Ten star
Allyssa DeHaan's "baptism by fire," as MSU head coach Joanne P. McCallie likes to put it, finally paid off in Sunday's 62-59 win over Ohio State. Because of MSU's tough schedule, its freshman center had to face some of the top post players in the country, including LSU's Sylvia Fowles and Maryland's Crystal Langhorne. Suddenly, facing the Buckeyes' Jessica Davenport on Sunday didn't seem like such a monumental task. "It makes you realize the value of a great schedule," McCallie said at her Monday press conference.
Giuliani showed superb leadership on Sept. 11
Mike Ramsey's dismissive cartoon of Rudy Giuliani, (SN 2/16), demonstrated utter ignorance of his great strength as a candidate: Giuliani doesn't have to talk about "9/11," because everyone already knows of his outstanding leadership at that critical time. For those few terrible days in September, he was perceived as a kind of acting president — such leadership is what being president is all about. That's why he is consistently leading in the polls in Michigan and across the country — even ahead of Hillary Clinton! Of course, your myopia is unsurprising, given your long-standing editorial policy of treating all Republicans as the devil's spawn and of kissing the butt and feet of any Democrat. Come November 2008, no doubt your entire staff, along with the other pathetically predictable MSU students, will trudge to the polls like bleating sheep to vote straight Democrat no matter who that candidate is. T.E.
Experts examine compulsive shopping habits
Shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories about four times a week doesn't leave Lauren Drapes with money for food sometimes. But she doesn't mind. "I just buy basic necessities," the apparel and textile design freshman said.
