The 2006 Erwin P. Bettinghaus Health Communication Lecture will be presented by Terrance Albrecht, a program leader at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, at 3 p.m.
Perhaps it's James Blake's sex appeal. Or maybe it's because I like living vicariously through Maria Sharapova.
Two MSU students will participate in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars' Distinguished Scholars Program, which is designed to place students in internships that match their career goals. Na-Yeong Kang, a telecommunication, information studies and media junior, and Ashley Waldorf, a professional writing junior, will live, work and study for eight weeks.
Broken wooden chairs, torn newspapers, about nine 40-oz. bottles of beer and bulletin board papers lay strewn about North Hubbard Hall's ninth floor late Thursday night. One bulletin board had been replaced by pornographic pictures and crude comments.
In East Lansing, fire trucks are green. Recycling trucks are filled with more renewable resources than empty milk cartons and collapsed cardboard.
The newly released Bob Dylan DVD is "totally unauthorized" and only for hard-core fans. "Rolling Thunder and The Gospel Years" came out Tuesday and chronicles the folk/pop/country/rock 'n' roll legendary lyricist's career between 1975 and '81.
Oh, Andrew Stamp, I do hope you were kidding about "Axe promises results, but doesn't deliver" (SN 4/05). No product is strong enough to make hoards of horny college students jump even the most beautiful man in the world, although the beautiful man probably wouldn't need it anyway. Let me explain the joys of creating an advertisement — exaggeration works rather nicely.
Drew Stanton leaned back in his seat and let out a heavy sigh, waiting for a marathon game to end. But he wasn't sitting on the sidelines while an opposing quarterback took a knee to run out the clock. He was keeping statistics for the MSU baseball team's game against Eastern Michigan on Wednesday and was growing impatient with the Eagles' fruitless attempts to pick off MSU base runners.
The Residence Halls Association still has two open salaried positions for next school year — the Michigan Organization communications coordinator, or MOCC, and executive secretary. Executive secretary duties include preparing the monthly newsletter and taking minutes, attendance and votes at weekly meetings.
Last season, the MSU baseball team's defense was offensive. The Spartans' .944 fielding percentage was the worst in the Big Ten.
By Danielle Grondin For The State News After losing to University of Michigan at the "Terminus" tournament in Atlanta this year, MSU men's Ultimate Frisbee team has a score to settle this weekend.
By AMY OPREANFor The State News She made the cut alongside with Henry Ford and Rosa Parks — and starting this summer, her name will be cemented into the heart of Lansing, literally.
In his take on Rod Stewart's classic song, Lester Bangs spins a tale of an aging prostitute and a young man's tumultuous relationship.
I love to shoot people. Rain of bullets. Blood everywhere. The dull thud of a fallen body. Screaming in the background. It's pretty fun. But some people aren't as fond of video games as I am. I hear a lot about video games and how such satanic playthings are destroying our American youth. Despoiling our children's innocence. Making young people everywhere dangerous criminals ready to pounce. Advocates for decency overestimate the powers of virtual reality and make human beings sound incompetent and easily swayed by flashy things. The more I hear the ridiculous rhetoric — which just so happens to be the latest moral crusade — the more exasperated I become. Surely, welfare, child abuse, sexual assault and our faltering economy are more worthy of our politicians' time. In the wake of the "Hot Coffee" modification that unlocked graphic sex scenes in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Gov.
As a member of the University Activities Board, or UAB, who has been involved with Battle of the Bands competitions for the past four years, I was excited when I saw the headline "Shake, battle & roll" (SN 4/03) on the front page of The State News. However, this excitement faded as I read the article.
Lansing — The fun on opening day at Oldsmobile Park started even before the first pitch. As fans roamed inside the ballpark, they set their sights on one goal — the $2 beer specials for Thirsty Thursday. "I like the atmosphere, the food and the beer," MSU alumnus Arun Das said.
There was a short statement by Andrew Stamp, "Axe promises results, but doesn't deliver" (SN 4/05), about the "Axe effect." This guy has to be joking.
For a lot of us, the memory of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks is still fresh in our minds. There are reminders everywhere of what happened. Every Sept.
It seems that Josh Jarman, "MCRI promises equality for all, but proposal won't eliminate racism" (SN 4/04), and most of the students I've talked to, have fallen into the same trap. Although the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, or MCRI, will do nothing to fix the discrimination against minorities in this country, neither does affirmative action; if anything, it only intensifies racial prejudices. You say there have been "centuries of abuse and discrimination against people of color and other minorities by an entrenched white establishment," and yet the solution you promote is simply giving someone 20 points on an admissions application. To get to the root of the problem, we must address the disparity in funding for public schools in black and minority communities compared to those in white communities.
In their 1996 inaugural season, the Lansing Lugnuts set a Class A single-season baseball attendance record and became the first club to draw more than 500,000 fans in a debut year.
