In response to "Fetus is human, not merely 'wad of cells' (SN 2/10) by Kyle Coveart: Of all the anti-abortion arguments in The State News in the last few weeks, yours alone represents the epitome of ignorance to fact above all the others. A direct quote from your letter states, "The left in this country is usually against the killing of other humans and are usually the ones standing up for basic human rights and liberties, but because pregnancy is such an inconvenience to their promiscuous sexual lifestyles, they need to somehow justify having an abortion without compromising their beliefs of 'not killing.'" Your assumption of a "promiscuous sexual lifestyle" is an outrageous statement. Please, tell me, are you a virgin? And if you are not, like the vast majority of people in college, did you practice safe sex? Because condoms break, birth control isn't 100 percent effective and never can be, and rape happens every day. People who have had sex even once have become pregnant.

Five people will compete in the primary today for the Senate seat vacated by Virg Bernero, mayor of Lansing.
I think just about everybody who has passed Wells Hall lately has been confronted by the notorious preachers.
MSU men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo said the Izzone member who was involved in a physical altercation with University of Michigan reserve center Amadou Ba should be given leniency. "Let's not look to get ridiculous on it," Izzo said at his weekly news conference. When Izzo spoke to Bobby Brock on Monday morning, the communication sophomore expressed remorse and didn't make any indication he wanted to file charges against Ba, Izzo said. "He was bummed out," Izzo said.
They work hard all week in practice with the uncertainty of whether or not they will be in uniform during the weekend. They compete with each other for playing time on the fourth line and have shown how much depth the No.

More than $20,000 in personal belongings have been reported stolen on campus since the semester began in January. Most of these thefts were "crimes of opportunity" because the items were left unattended, said MSU police Sgt.
A second-half collision in MSU's 90-71 win over Michigan on Saturday has left MSU head coach Tom Izzo without one of his best players, potentially for the rest of the season. Matt Trannon broke the right side of his jaw when he was sandwiched between U-M forward Graham Brown, MSU junior forward Delco Rowley and junior guard Shannon Brown during a moving screen by Graham Brown. Graham Brown was called for an offensive foul on the play.
A forum will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday in the McDonel Hall Kiva to discuss the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, or MCRI. The program will include a panel of speakers that will discuss the impact the MCRI would have, if passed, on MSU and the state.

The event is hosted by the Briggs Multiracial Alliance, Holmes Hall Black Caucus and McDonel Hall Residence Life staff.
