Since one of the Bush administration's main priorities continues to be strengthening the sanctity of marriage, I would like to offer up an excellent solution. First, it should be noted that the gay community has no intention to wage war on heterosexual marriage.
Does Fred Sharp, who wrote the letter "Granholm blames Bush for Michigan's problems," (SN 6/16), really think that Dick DeVos is going to change Michigan's fortunes?
The city of East Lansing has filed a motion of reconsideration to the Michigan Supreme Court against the Michigan Department of Transportation, or MDOT, over speed limits on certain streets. The case involves speed limits raised by the department in February 2005 on portions of Grand River Avenue and Saginaw Highway. The limits were raised from 25 mph to 35 mph on areas of Grand River Avenue and 35 mph to 45 mph on Saginaw Highway. In March 2005, the city sued three agencies over the speed limits, and the Ingham County Circuit Court ruled the speed limits should be lowered to 25 mph and 35 mph.
No other NHL team has come back from a 3-1 series deficit in the Stanley Cup finals besides the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1942, but the Edmonton Oilers are on the verge of completing that feat again tonight. The Oilers face off against the Carolina Hurricanes at 8 p.m.
As students move into the university apartments this fall, furniture may not be in the picture. And some say a lack of furniture may be especially hard on international students.
If you're looking for some sort of epic or life-enhancing entertainment, don't go see "Nacho Libre." But if you feel like turning your brain off for about two hours in an air-conditioned setting with cozy seats under your butt and cupholders on each side, then "Nachoooooooooo" it is. The plot: Ah, nothing really special, but "Nacho" does come through in four zany categories of cinematic sweetness. First category of sweetness: Similarity to "Napoleon Dynamite." If you like the humor in "Napoleon," then you will like this film.

The candidate will not be announced to the Board of Trustees until this person officially accepts the position, and logistics such as salary and a start-date are worked out, Wilcox said.
Michael Koot was told in May to get ready for on-site research in a week. He wasn't told what the research would entail, but Koot heard the opportunity was a "big deal." "It was really exciting because we knew only the night before what we were doing," the anthropology graduate student said.
For many of us, our perception of Vietnam is not the same war-torn controversial one held by an older generation.
Why is it that individuals like Gary Glenn and Rep. John Stahl continue to insist that a gay or lesbian sexual orientation precludes one from being a good parent?
Imagine getting a prescription for two hours of meditation. MSU researchers will begin a study in September attempting to find a link between spirituality and health.
This weekend, East Lansing swung, grooved and shook to the smooth sounds of the Summer Solstice Jazz Festival. Amid the orange backdrop of a summer sun, a multitude of good-sized crowds rotated in and out of the festival's intimate setting.

A scholarship for English majors studying creative writing will be voted on for recommendation by the MSU Trustee Finance and Audit Committee today. The scholarship came in the form of a $30,000 donation by Arthur Athanason, an English professor who died at 70 years old in September 2005 after battling pancreatic cancer. Athanason, who taught playwriting and other literature classes, wrote in his will that he wanted to establish a scholarship for students with strong academic and professional goals in creative writing. "He was diagnosed with terminal cancer and knew this was a legacy he could establish after he passed away," said Kristin Peterson, director of development for the College of Arts and Letters.
The MSU Board of Trustees voted to authorize planning of renovations and expansions to Wharton Center, Old College Field, the Duffy Daugherty Football Building and Jenison Field House at its meeting Friday. Plans must be drawn up and brought before the board before any construction can take place. Michael Brand, executive director of the Wharton Center, said the changes — which include more dressing rooms and rehearsal space — would help make the facility better equipped for large productions such as The Lion King. The board also heard about changes that could come to the athletic facilities. Greg Ianni, senior associate director of athletics, presented a video that is being used to attract donations for the renovations to Old College Field.

A four-year university education is not for everyone, especially if fur is your forte. The Michigan School of Canine Cosmetology, 3022 S.
Given its bustling and complex arrangements, the title of the new album by Controlling the Famous is appropriately metropolitan. Like rush hour on a Los Angeles freeway, there's little room to move on "Automatic City," with tracks packed end to end and knotty guitar lines, interwoven vocal melodies and surging bass and drumming that would make an octopus' arms tired. Unfortunately, the album has another thing in common with the grind of urban traffic — monotony.
