There are many viewpoints other than pro-life or pro-choice in regard to abortion. The State News fails to realize this and never discusses it, as Tara Thoel's "Students discuss opposing abortion views" (SN 10/19) demonstrates. In her article, Thoel discusses how both pro-life and pro-choice organizations held events during Young Women's Week of Action for U.S.
James Madison students gathered today in Case Hall's lounge to vote out ASMSU representative Kyle Bristow.
Zenaida macroura. The name alone might not conjure up much emotion, but recently the creature has found itself in the middle of a passionate debate pitting conservation against tradition. The issue: Hunting mourning doves in Michigan. Proposal 3 is a state ballot initiative that would make Michigan the 41st state to permit hunting of the bird. For more than 100 years, the abundant bird — 4 million migrate into Michigan every year — has lived in the state as a nongame species.
According to MSU women's basketball head coach Joanne P. McCallie, all freshman Allyssa DeHaan has to do to be effective this season is get stronger, faster, quicker, tougher and meaner. But once she does all that, McCallie says the rest will take care of itself.
A project to build the second phase of the Campus Village apartments has broken ground and should be completed by next fall. Students are already leasing apartments for the building, which will be constructed at 1231 Michigan Ave., formerly the site of Capital Honda. "There is a big hole in the ground right now; we hope to have it completed a year from now for the start of school," said Ernest Schaefer, president of Rochester Hills-based Campus Village Communities.
President Bush's newest vocabulary words are habeas corpus. He probably can't pronounce it, he definitely can't spell it and he might not even know what it means, but one thing is clear — he's gotten rid of it. Last week Bush signed what resembles an unconstitutional bill "in memory of the victims of September the 11th." The bill creates new rules for prosecuting and interrogating terrorism suspects, and he tagged it as "a way to deliver justice to the terrorists we have captured." As if using the victims of the Sept.
Editor's Note: You can find State News reporter Trey Scroggin in St. Louis for this week's three-game World Series stretch in Cardinals country. An open note to Cardinals fans: The Tigers lost Game 3 by a long shot, but that in no way means your team is the World Series winner, nor does it give you the exclusive right to brag.

The Wilson Hall Auditorium was standing-room only Wednesday night as Young Americans for Freedom chairman Kyle Bristow and Eric Gregory, a candidate for state representative, went head-to-head to debate the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative. The proposal, also known as the MCRI, will end preferential treatment for minorities in government and university programs if it's passed in the Nov.
St. Louis — Before Game 3, the Tigers were cheaters. Now, only hours before Game 4 was set to commence, the St.
I would like to warn students who are looking for a place to live next year. I moved out of The Village at Chandler Crossings this past August.
Students can now apply to live in the new University Village Apartments, which reopen in August 2007. After 53 years, the original MSU apartments were demolished in May and will be replaced by the new three-story buildings.

Spartans Supporting the Troops, a student organization devoted to serving members of the military, grilled up some meals on Wednesday at BD's Mongolian Barbecue in Okemos to help fund care packages for troops overseas. "We want to let the soldiers … know that younger people do care about them and care that they are gone," said Jessica Fischman, the group's president.
When the MSU women's basketball team hit the court for its annual Green and White scrimmage Wednesday at Breslin Center, there weren't many familiar faces running the ball and hitting the boards.
There's nothing quite like being an American. The satisfaction alone that comes with watching football on Monday night or our favorite team in the World Series is only enhanced by being members of the first modern and longest-running democracy.
A new hookah lounge opening in downtown East Lansing in November will test whether the industry has enough steam to survive. The Blue Midnight Hookah Lounge, which is under construction at Subway's vacated Albert Avenue location, doesn't plan on getting a liquor license or selling main courses. However, the lounge might need additional offerings — like alcohol or food — to make a profit because of high rent and overhead costs, said Matt Rouhan, the store manager of Silver Streak and Krazy Katz, a retail store that sells hookahs and flavored tobacco. "Keep in mind — this is tobacco," Rouhan said.
After posting shutouts in wins against Central Michigan and No. 13 Indiana, senior field hockey goalkeeper Stephanie Yuhasz was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week. Yuhasz's second shutout, a 1-0 decision against the Hoosiers, was MSU's first Big Ten win and its first win against a ranked opponent this season. Yuhasz improved her record to 6-7-0 and bumped her season shutout total to four, which ranks third in the Big Ten. The Spartans (6-10 overall, 1-4 Big Ten) return to action Saturday against Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio.
The (SCENE) Metrospace art gallery likely will move to the space once occupied by Aroma Gourmet Coffee & Tea on Charles Street in downtown East Lansing, making way for a redevelopment project to advance. The building where the gallery is now, 303 Abbott Road, could be demolished to make room for the City Center II project, which includes a building about 10 stories tall at the intersection of Abbott Road and Grand River Avenue.
Most people would use words to describe their dream career. Al Rufe prefers numbers. The 74-year-old Lansing resident is retiring after more than 40 years of crunching numbers as a statistician for the MSU football and basketball teams. The number that Rufe will miss most? Thousands.
