First, there's a context to slavery.
I'd like to try to clear up one (among several) misconceptions in Jaren Kuchta's letter, "Bible doesn't promote slavery, abortion rights, "While attempting to refute Shane Krouse's column, "Bible supports abortion rights," (SN 8/10), which looked for pro-slavery and pro-abortion ideas within Scripture, Kuchta labeled scientific descriptions of evolution and of the creation of the universe as "just theories," which "cannot be proven."

While the vast majority of students were lounging in the sun, away on an internship or bumming around their hometowns, the East Lansing City Council remained hard at work. Throughout the course of the summer, the council revamped the noise ordinance, gave its official nod of approval to a new student apartment complex and began dismantling the 600 block of Virginia Avenue. Here is a breakdown of some of the group's most important actions: Noise Ordinance The ordinance was amended at the May 2 City Council meeting and now lists drinking games as one of the aggravating factors that could lead to the most severe noise citation, which carries a minimum $500 or $1,000 fine and a possible 72 hours of community service. Only two of these enhanced noise violations were handed out in the past two years.

Leadership experience is a complement to any student's résumé. For Micah Bushouse and Jake Reidel, the leadership skills gathered at MSU in the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps, or ROTC, could save lives.

Both students occupied top leadership positions during their senior year in the program.

A 33-year-old question is still waiting to be answered. Henry Louis Baltimore, Jr. went missing without a trace in 1973, and subsequent investigations have not revealed what happened to the former social science and music honor student.

On Sunday, Baltimore's family sat together in his brother's house, talking about the case and looking at faded photographs of Baltimore dressed up in uniform leading the MSU band.
