Yeah, the Red Cedar River looks gross and unappetizing. But it's not as bad as it seems. And East Lansing is actually dealing with pollution problems as much as it can. About $40 million is being used to improve the management of pollution and water discharge in East Lansing. East Lansing's Wastewater Treatment Plant had 14 violations of a state-issued permit from July 2003 to December 2004, according to a report released by the U.S.

The fate of affirmative action in Michigan will still be put to a vote in November after the Michigan Supreme Court declined Wednesday to hear an appeal brought by a group opposed to the ballot initiative. The Michigan Civil Rights Initiative would ban state government and universities from using affirmative action policies that grant preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin. The Michigan Civil Rights Commission voted March 20, at its last meeting, to send a letter to the court asking it to refrain from reaching its decision until after the commission completed its investigation into allegations of voter fraud, said Harold Core, the department's spokesman.
I just want to praise and shake hands with Steven Wojcikiewicz for his column on the indecency of human behavior at the airport, "Writer gets firsthand look at uncivilized human behavior" (SN 3/28). I would also like to add a bit to his commentary by pointing out the radical behavior of passengers who actually have assigned seats on a crowded flight. Not only do people begin to crowd the door before the call is made to get in line, but they actually block people from getting on who are supposed to be getting on. Planes usually board first-class passengers, passengers with disabilities and passengers with small children first.

I'm a parking enforcer, yes, I'll admit it. So deal with it. However, my job is not what this letter is about; it's about respect. I was working and I saw someone park on a sidewalk handicap-ramp.
In Vanessa Notman's column regarding the lack of local business flavor in downtown East Lansing, "Unique feel of small downtown spots replaced with corporations" (SN 3/23), she expresses concern that locally owned businesses are being driven out by national corporations and wonders with, "Is this really the American way?" The answer to this question is a resounding yes, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. One of the American dreams is for an individual to start a business, have it be successful and expand to more locations. This individual has thereby succeeded in providing a service that many people appreciate. If people didn't appreciate it, the business would not expand.
East Lansing's Wastewater Treatment Plant polluted the Red Cedar River with raw sewage six times from July 2003 to December 2004. According to a report released last week by the U.S.

"It's really special," Tindle said of the anniversary.

After one representative stepped out midway through ASMSU's Student Assembly meeting Thursday, student government officials scrambled to gather enough representatives to meet quorum. ASMSU is MSU's undergraduate student government. At that time, Derek Wallbank, the College of Communication Arts and Sciences representative for ASMSU's Student Assembly, motioned to "call the house," which means to call Student Assembly representatives to get enough people to attend the meeting so that voting on agenda items can continue. "It's nothing more than a formal recess to call and get people here," Wallbank said. Student Assembly's final meeting of the 42nd session was in recess for about 20 minutes until more representatives arrived. Prior to the excitement, student government officials passed a bill to allocate $8,420 to host the Summer 2006 Association of Big Ten Schools Conference.
