1 Author C.S. Lewis' book-turned-movie "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is released today on DVD and is surprisingly true to the novel.
Public schools in Kalamazoo are failing, but The Kalamazoo Promise is not the solution. Gabrielle Russon's recent column, "Kalamazoo schools serve as prime example for others to follow" (SN 3/24), asserts that it is "a giant equalizer — putting the students on the same level as their wealthier peers who can afford to live in the better school districts." I am afraid that she is advocating an overly simplistic solution to a very complex problem. Offering a student full college tuition in exchange for attending inferior schools is not much of a deal at all.
The day before the MSU Board of Trustees holds its public meetings on Fridays, trustees meet in private to talk about the issues they will face the next day. The meetings on Thursdays are not open to the public or the news media.

Eighteen classroom projectors owned by the Instructional Media Center have been stolen this year from campus, totaling more than $93,000 in stolen goods.

Sparty's Convenience Stores will begin selling donation cards on Monday to raise funds for an MSU volunteer program in New Orleans. The program, called the MSU New Orleans Summer Project, will send about 30 MSU students, faculty and volunteers to four New Orleans-area school districts this summer, where they will tutor K-12 students and help rebuild the teachers' homes affected by Hurricane Katrina last August. "It's a new effort, and it really appears to be an effort that pulls together a number of issues that are important to the university and Sparty's," said Ken Deneau, Sparty's general manager. The projected cost of the project is about $800 per person, said Joyce Grant, an associate professor of teacher education who is coordinating the trip. Volunteers will drive down in rented vans on May 29 and return to Michigan on June 25, she said. "There are a lot of things that are going on to raise money," Grant said, including efforts to earn support grants.
Student government officials are working this week to transition ASMSU's organization into its next term, which begins today. ASMSU is MSU's undergraduate student government. The group is introducing new assembly members to the organization and preparing old members for their new positions, among other things, as this week is labeled "Orientation Week" by ASMSU officials. "We're going to have to get the organization functioning with the new positions that have opened as a result of the tax increase, integrate them and do that as quickly as possible," said Roger Ludy, vice chairperson for internal affairs for ASMSU's Student Assembly.

The recent State News editorial, "Lame duck attempt" (SN 3/29), was quite simply rife with specious logic, baseless assertions and out-and-out misinformation. First, the assertion that the elected representatives do not properly represent their constituency is unfounded and ridiculous.

How would one describe the offensive line for the 2005 MSU football team? The terms that surface aren't flattering. "Porous" comes to mind, as does "sieve-like" and "much-maligned." The group gave up 24 sacks last season, including 12 to Ohio State.
In "Five Women Wearing the Same Dress" at Riverwalk Theatre, 228 Museum Drive in Lansing, five bridesmaids from Knoxville, Tenn., knock the audience's socks off with witty repartee that's played off so naturally that you feel as though you're sitting and chatting with them. The script was written by Alan Ball, who also wrote "Six Feet Under" and "American Beauty." Set in the early '90s, the women touch on a few serious issues, but the tone is hardly heavy.
Guard Taurean Green threw the basketball in the air as the clock winded down to signal Florida's victory over UCLA in the NCAA men's national championship game. Joakim Noah was named the MVP with 16 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks for the 73-57 victory.
In response to Jeff Rector's comments in "ASMSU not worth it, should be disbanded" (SN 4/03): Apathy is a noun meaning "Lack of interest or concern, especially regarding matters of general importance or appeal." Your statement "… abysmal participation is not a reflection of the student body's apathy but of the simple fact it is not worth our time to participate," is exactly that: apathy.
