Save for two major lapses in concentration on the defensive side of the ball, the MSU football team exuded its dominace over Eastern Michigan in a 52-20 blowout victory on Saturday at Spartan Stadium. The Spartans raced to a 24-3 lead in the first half, but with less than three minutes remaining in the second quarter, the MSU defense relaxed.
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.

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.
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.
With the crowd screaming "Go Green! Go White!" and the MSU softball team yelling from behind the opposing net in a surprise appearance, the MSU women's soccer team notched a 2-0 shutout victory against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Thursday at Old College Field. The Spartans quickly forced the ball upfield off the game's opening kick and kept it there until freshman forward Lauren Hill scored the first goal of the game less than 10 minutes in, knocking the ball into the net off a cross from junior midfielder Maureen Pawlak. "I saw it floating over the top of my head," Hill said.
The MSU School of Music will be holding open auditions to fill tenor and bass positions. The Vocal Jazz Ensemble will perform various styles of jazz, from bebop to Brazilian and contemporary jazz.
You could catch them fluttering around your attic. Or maybe even crawling up your leg. Bats and bugs have invaded area residences, and none of them have bothered to pay rent.
Perhaps the most resonant memory from the 2005 MSU football season was Domata Peko, a 320-pound, lion-maned defensive tackle, picking up a fumble and rumbling (ever so slowly) down the sideline for a 74-yard touchdown against Michigan. Peko's game-changing play was one of many made by junior-college transfers during the John L.
