Quarterback Both teams feature a quarterback that can beat you with his arm or legs. For MSU, it's Drew Stanton, who had 280 yards of total offense and a touchdown last week against Idaho.
Brady Quinn Senior quarterback, Notre Dame LAST WEEK: Completed 23-of-38 passes for 246 yards and no touchdowns, rushed for one touchdown in a 14-10 win over Georgia Tech. Quinn has a big stage tomorrow against No.
As a night receptionist for the past three years, I would like to say that I am appalled by Residence Life director Paul Goldblatt's statements regarding the incident in Wilson Hall. Instead of offering even the most meager of sympathies for the student or expressing any well-wishing, Goldblatt shrugs his shoulders and seems content to say, well, this would have happened regardless. Right.
MSU student groups and the Michigan Department of State are teaming up for the third consecutive year to combat low voter turnout among students by deploying a mobile Secretary of State office on campus Saturday. The office will register students and nonstudents to vote before the Oct.
Voting is a nonpartisan issue. It doesn't matter if you call yourself a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian or Communist, your vote is still important and necessary to further our democracy. So it is fortunate for MSU students that the Secretary of State will provide a mobile voter registration office on campus Saturday.
Last year over several hours, I went through a wonderful, surreal, turbulent and horrifying journey.
It was Maria Rosas' dream to one day become a Spartan. But the high costs of college made the no-preference freshman uneasy about her financial future after graduation. "I was worried about it," Rosas said.
After playing just a handful of snaps on his high school football team, Ogemdi Nwagbuo's future in football was uncertain. Five years later, he's a starter on a Big Ten team. Nwagbuo's journey to become one of MSU's starting defensive tackles was an unlikely one.
With agitated drivers honking behind them, students protesting the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative rallied on Grand River Avenue Thursday evening. Engineering junior Andrew Hoyles helped organize the rally against Proposal 2.

When Dionicio Valdés was at the University of Minnesota in 1984, he dreamed about the day universities in the United States would have a Chicano and Latino doctoral program. Valdés tried to create a program at Minnesota for more than 20 years while he worked as an assistant professor in Chicano studies.
Social relations sophomore Lauren Spencer is throwing her hat in the ring — hoping to fill one of the two available positions on the MSU Board of Trustees. Along with John Fournier, who is applying for Mark Meadows' spot on the East Lansing City Council, Spencer shows how students can get involved in politics firsthand. Although Spencer has a lot stacked up against her — representing the Green Party and running against two Republican incumbents and the recognizable George Perles, MSU football's former head coach — her ambition is admirable. It would be beneficial for the students of MSU to have one of their own on the board representing a student's perspective on pertinent campus issues. And Spencer backs some laudable issues, like curbing rising tuition rates, adding gender identity and expression to MSU's anti-discrimination policy and ensuring the university continues to provide same-sex partner benefits. If nothing else, we can hope that Spencer's eagerness to participate in local politics will rub off on other students and the voting booths will be flooded with knowledgeable voters in November.
The two men charged in connection with an alleged Feb. 23 assault at South Hubbard Hall will appear in district court Friday for a continuation of their preliminary examinations, according to court records. This will be the third time the men — MSU student Albert Robinson and nonstudent Joel Hamlar — will appear for this type of hearing, as the other two examinations were adjourned. Robinson and Hamlar were two of three assailants arrested in connection with an alleged assault in which three South Hubbard Hall occupants were threatened.
Once again, our progsters' picks all match. Come on, guys. Can't you at least pretend to disagree with each other? Eastern Michigan at MSU Steve Highfield — MSU learned its lesson with the 10-point win over Idaho — if you don't blow out the preseason lightweights, the criticism will fly.
Lansing — Known for its mitten shape, freshwater lakes and two battling Big Ten universities, photojournalist Colin Finlay believes one of Michigan's most defining features is its status as the nation's automotive capital. Focusing the photo shoot on the local auto industry, Finlay, a renowned photographer, led a group of Lansing Community College photography students through a General Motors Corp.
Any time a team graduates 72 percent of its total offensive production, there's bound to be times throughout the season when scoring is scarce. With the loss of starting forwards Emma Harris and Dana Voorheis — who combined for 17 goals and 11 assists in 2005 — the offensive shoes of the MSU women's soccer team have become empty and waiting to be filled. Last weekend, the Spartans got a taste of how difficult goal-scoring could be this season when they suffered back-to-back shutout losses on the road against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. "Each season it's been like this at the beginning," junior midfielder Maureen Pawlak said.
By Harry Jackson Jr. St. Louis Post-Dispatch If the muscles of your body have a first sergeant, it's the core. The muscles of your core — in less trendy times called your trunk — comprise the most important muscles in your body, say experts, because other muscles rely on them for stability. The weaker your core, the weaker you are.
I'm writing in regards to Kyle Jubenville's letter "Katrina response wasn't about race, but poverty," (SN 8/31). People of all races may live in poverty, but it would ignore all facts to say race doesn't have anything to do with it.
