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 East Lansing City Council furthered several redevelopment projects at its meeting Tuesday night. Approving measures for the East Village, Stonehouse Village and Virginia Avenue projects, the council is working to change the feel of the downtown. The specific actions they took include the following: • The council entered into a memorandum of understanding with The Pierce Company to begin work on the East Village project.
Freedom has been one of the most central concepts in America since the pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock.
Thousands of Boy Scouts from across the country have converged on campus and in East Lansing in hopes to learn the history of the organization, all while developing valuable life skills. The Boy Scouts of America's National Order of the Arrow Conference began Saturday and is being hosted by MSU.
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.
Name five female engineers. If you're having a hard time coming up with names, don't blame yourself — blame the numbers. According to MSU data from the spring, 54 percent of MSU students are female.
Candidates for the 69th District seat in the state House of Representatives received money from parents, family and some political action committees, according to campaign finance reports released Friday. The information, provided by the Michigan Secretary of State, details how much the candidates received in donations and how much they spent running their campaigns.
Dabbling in the arts, attending plays and watching concerts could become a more frequent option for children from low-income families, with a new Wharton Center program. The Seats 4 Kids scholarship program will provide tickets to Wharton Center shows through private donations for children who can't afford them, said Bob Hoffman, spokesman for the Wharton Center.
Woody Allen acts like the biggest chicken around, but the eggs he lays are still healthy, hard-boiled entertainment.
I read the article "Girls make the grade," (SN 7/20), with some casual interest and a wry smile, but I have read the follow-up letters with increasing concern.
The great state of Missouri is no New York or California, but it has a lot to offer. From Burt Bacharach to former President Harry S.
The Pierce Company might just have enough clout to pull off the East Village project. And, if the East Lansing City Council approves the company to begin work on the 35-acre overhaul at its meeting today, changes might be coming to the area in the near future. "They have the right skills and the right experiences to be the master developer for the area," East Lansing Mayor Sam Singh said.
The IM Sports-West outdoor pool will be open and free to the public from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., and again from 6-8 p.m., all week through Sunday.
I was very disappointed to read in The State News the editorial about the riots at MSU, "Get over 2003, prevent future riots," (SN 7/31). The statement, "Riots are commonplace at MSU," is ridiculous and I believe damaging to the reputation of MSU and its graduates.
Spinning on red stools while eating a bowl of 21 scoops of ice cream may not be a an option for incoming freshmen this year — at least not at The Parlour On Campus.
Hey, Caitlin — way to go! In Caitlin Scuderi's column, "News has been censored; whatever happened to being politically incorrect?" (SN 7/24), Scuderi struck the nerve that is at the core of journalism today, and I hope it reverberated among her readers. Scuderi wrote, "We traded original, creative writing in order to appeal to a larger audience, and it has only stunted our growth as a news forum and as an informed society." Modern journalism has become so concerned with being inoffensive and unbiased that it has stopped reporting the news and resorted to bland, surface stories that miss the mark. Is this the price we have to pay for sensitive stomachs?
Lansing — Surgical masks clung to dozens of bird flu victims aboard a blazing hot school bus Friday afternoon. Some were headed to Sparrow Hospital, others to Ingham County Regional Medical Center.
A ballot initiative that would limit state spending could be placed before voters in the Nov. 7 election. The initiative, created by the Michigan Stop Overspending Committee, would limit state growth every year by restricting government spending to the rate of inflation and population increases. The initiative also would prohibit state legislators from receiving state-funded pensions for life. If local governments want to spend more, they would have to put it before voters. "It lets people decide when they want to go beyond the rate of inflation," said Scott Tillman, a member of the committee. The organization turned in 503,000 signatures in early July, Tillman said. They need to have 317,757 certified signatures to be put on the November ballot, and the names are being reviewed by the Board of State Canvassers. Opponents of the initiative argue it would hurt cities and the state because spending decisions would have to be voted on, which would delay services. "A local unit of government can no longer say we can bond for that.
