Nearly a week after state lawmakers decided to repeal the Single Business Tax, concern has risen as to how the Legislature plans to fill the hole it will cause in the state's economy. Revenues from the tax make up 22 percent of the state's general fund. The tax, which should be phased out by the end of 2007, is believed to be a burden that's keeping new businesses from locating in Michigan.

In addition to the stress of meeting new friends, finding classrooms and doing well in school, many incoming MSU freshmen have anxiety about their eating habits in a changing environment. Health Education Services nutritionist Ronda Bokram has been employed at the Olin Heath Center for 18 years and understands the "freshman 15" myth to be harmful to many freshmen. "It's a media thing and people are afraid of it before they come, and the more afraid you are of it, the more you do things with your eating that aren't normal," Bokram said. Instead of dieting or skipping meals during the transitional phrase into college, the key to a healthy lifestyle is to try and keep your diet consistent.

You have to admit, the world is getting pretty scary. Friday, the United Kingdom announced to the public that it successfully foiled a terrorist plot to "commit mass murder on an unimaginable scale." When I heard the news, I didn't flinch.

The average tuition increase for undergraduates at Michigan's 15 public universities is 6.7 percent, which officials at several universities attribute to a drop in state funding during the past few years. MSU is relying on tuition for about 60 percent of its budget this year, while 40 percent comes from state appropriations.
In a vibrant college community like MSU, everything is so easily accessible. While it's true that getting around campus can be a rather daunting task at times, it's nearly impossible to complain about finding everything you need.
At this point, it's safe to say that senior Drew Stanton is one of the best quarterbacks to play for MSU. The All-American ignited the Spartan offense last season to much-earned critical acclaim and national attention. While Stanton's incredible play faltered a bit during the second half of the season, the hotshot quarterback established himself as one of the foremost ball-slinging authorities in the nation and a fierce competitor. The statistics speak for themselves. Last year, Stanton led the Spartans to a record-breaking season in offensive play by battering opposing teams with passing, supported by a solid ground game. In 2005, Stanton became only the second quarterback in MSU history to surpass the 3,000-yard passing milestone in a single season.
