MSU alumni David O'Malley lives in California now, but he was back in Michigan to shoot his feature length film "Kalamazoo?" in, you guessed it, Kalamazoo.

Shame on you, Indrek Wichman. Come on, you didn't really send an offensive e-mail to a prominent student organization with the notion that it was going to be kept private — did you? Well, you're saying you did, but that was a pretty irresponsible move for an MSU professor. Seriously. The Muslim Students' Association received an e-mail Feb.
Brandtson is, like, so California, but totally from Cleveland. Like, go figure? The Ohio quartet is rumored to have a song on Fox's "The O.C." tonight and has a smooth, catchy sound. It's indie-rock dance music with rough lyrical narratives about road trips in a black El Camino, women's clothing and the secrets of love.
When Cedric Tai looks at his completed paintings for his upcoming show, "Start Somewhere," he sees conversations. Tai has converted conversations with friends that linger in his head into something tangible in his reversed-style Plexiglas paintings.

President Bush is finally getting the message that gas is too expensive and people are concerned about spending more per gallon.

A recommendation to raise the amount of money available for faculty salaries by 4.7 percent for the 2006-07 school year would help MSU stay competitive with other Big Ten institutions, university officials said. The proposed salary increase was calculated to make up for a smaller increase than other universities last year and overcome anticipated salary hikes at other universities, said Ross Emmett, chairperson of the University Committee on Faculty Affairs, which proposed the salary increase. "The Big Ten essentially represents our competitive pool of similar universities," Emmett said.
From his rickety porch on Woodmere Avenue just south of Grand River Avenue, Chris Lincoln can see the entire block, with its patchy lawns and glass shards gleaming in the street.
Coming into Wednesday's game against MSU, the Toledo baseball team was giving up fewer than six runs a game. The Spartans had that many before most of the fans found their seats. Propelled by an eight-run first inning, MSU (20-18 overall, 8-8 Big Ten) turned in its best offensive performance in years, setting season highs for runs and hits in a 23-4 hammering of the Rockets at Kobs Field. "They kept the pressure, and they kept the fire inside and put together quality at-bats," MSU head coach David Grewe said.
For MSU Academic Governance system, the 2005-2006 academic year was a good year. Day-to-day operations of university-level standing committees have continued to effectively deal with the issues mandated in bylaws for each standing committee — the governance Web site, www.msu.edu/unit/acadgov, enumerates these bylaws, and links to chronicles of standing committee actions, as well as listing other information about governance. In addition, in 2005-2006 governance has dealt with a number of global issues: the liberal learning core of undergraduate education, possible expansion of the MSU College of Human Medicine to Grand Rapids and reforms for the processes and structure of the Academic Governance system.
Justice is a function of social harmony, and both of these are preceded by fairness — those who fall under a law must feel that they are being treated fairly in its execution.
East Lansing was awarded a $1.5 million Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG, loan guarantee on Wednesday to redevelop the 600 block of Virginia Avenue. The loan guarantee means that the U.S.
More than your standard pull-a-bunny-out-of-a-hat routine, magicians Chris and Ryan can make eight doves appear out of thin air, cut their trusty assistant, Tiffany Tucker, into thirds and vanish from stage in the blink of an eye.
"I see you're drinking one percent. Is that 'cause you think you're fat?" Most people would be able to identify this quote as being from "Napoleon Dynamite." "Napoleon Dynamite" became one of the most quotable films of recent years, even now — two years later — people are still wearing T-shirts with lines from the movie.
Wine has been around since the beginning of civilization, and it doesn't seem as if it's going to disappear any time soon.
There's a theater troupe based in Lansing that prides itself on producing professional quality shows — and the cast and crew are all 18 and under.
Drive down Grand River Avenue and you'll see a narrow strip of one- and two-story brick buildings — bookstores, bars, bong shops and burrito joints — about what you'd expect in a midsize college town. For better or worse, that's been the character of East Lansing's downtown for decades. Not for much longer.
Lush with trees and growing flowers and shrubbery, it's the place I feel most comfortable. The path winds around for about eight miles, with something new every day to appreciate.
