I was under the assumption that John Bice was done writing columns for The State News, but apparently he's manifested himself under the pseudonym "Shane Krouse." The arguments Krouse develops all seem to wind up attacking Christians in one way or another.
The reorganization of the MSU track and field program came to an end July 31 with the announcement of three new staff members. Track and field director Walt Drenth welcomed to the program Chris Bostwick as associate coach of jumps Kathy Rounds as assistant coach of sprints/hurdles and Randy Gillon as assistant coach of sprints/mulit-events.

With the help of visiting Boy Scouts, MSU police and the East Lansing Fire Department are making it their mission to "be prepared." More than 250 scouts volunteered Tuesday to participate in organized evacuations of the fourth floor of the Spartan Stadium's tower.
So, everyone should just "get over" the 2003 riots, as was suggested in the title of the editorial "Get over 2003, prevent future riots," (SN 7/31), and not use the destruction caused to people and property for future precautions and decision making by not only the police, but also by students and East Lansing residents?

What if we just "got over" everything?

With high temperatures blazing through Michigan, the Lansing Board of Water and Light has asked its customers to try to conserve the amount of electricity they use to prevent a possible blackout. Temperatures in the upper 90s have lead to high energy use across the state from the increased use of air conditioners and fans, and Mark Nixon, the communications director of the Board of Water and Light said the company could break the record for the amount of megawatts produced.

Nine people charged in connection with a mid-March MSU Federal Credit Union scam pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge as part of a plea bargain on Tuesday in district court. The defendants also testified in court that they or a third party knowingly used the defendants' account information for the purpose of withdrawing more than what was in their accounts. One of the defendants did not appear at the court proceeding's scheduled time. Those charged in connection with the scam were approached by people who asked for their ATM cards and personal identification numbers, or PINs, said Catherine Lynch, vice president of member services for the credit union, in a May 17 State News article. The scam involves using ATM cards or PINs that are sold or given in exchange for money deposited into accounts.
William Shakespeare wrote plays in the 16th century, but the character devices and archetypes he used to define and portray human emotion and conflict are just as relevant now as they were then.

Mason — The pigs napped on the cool concrete and the sheep waited to be hosed down, while the humans weaved between hot dog stands and merry-go-rounds looking for the closest ice cream stand. Shade didn't cost a quarter or require a ticket, but it was hard to come by in the withering field, deep in the heart of the Ingham County Fair, 700 E.
