East Lansing's parks and facilities are good already. Improvement and public involvement will make them even better. The Community Parks and Recreation Plan steering committee met with the public last week to gain input on the development of a new five-year parks and recreation plan.
Big Ten — what happened? You were ranked No. 1 in conference RPI before the NCAA Tournament began and got six bids into the Big Dance. After the first four days of play, all six teams from the best conference in the land are left scratching their heads and wondering what went wrong.
Years ago, he was a small-town kid begging his dad to let him pole vault like his older brother. Now, senior Brad Gebauer has taken his family's tradition of pole vaulting to new heights after placing fourth in the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships on March 10, earning All-America honors with his 17-foot, 10.5-inch jump. Gebauer, seeded fifth for the meet, said he was pleased with the fourth-place finish among the nation's top 16 pole vaulters. "My goal was to become All-American and place fifth or better," he said.
Chicago — Aisha Jefferson muscled for position in the paint, her back to the basket and her left arm held high in the air as she anxiously called for the ball. She wasn't just calling for it.
More students on campus are familiar with the university's anti-discrimination policies after a series of floor meetings swept through MSU residence halls in the last week. The meetings, organized by the Department of Residence Life, were in response to incidents of harassment based on race and sexual orientation reported in the last six months. "It was to discuss the climate on campus and what mentors can do to help students in these situations," said Paul Goldblatt, the director of Residence Life.
A 19-year-old MSU student was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct on Friday. Mark Miller faces 15 years in prison if convicted of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, which involves penetration with force or coercion.

John Bice's column, "Evolutionary theory, science needed to vaccinate irrational beliefs" (SN 2/16), falls short on several points: • Bice determines truth by popular opinion.
Teams choose a genre, a prop, a character name and a line of dialogue from a bag — then they get 48 hours to make a five-minute film that includes all the elements. Chris Harrison and Elizabeth Stanton were representing one team out of 24 total at Magdalena's Teahouse, 2006 E.

The MSU chapter of the Phi Beta Delta honorary society was recently awarded both outstanding Midwest chapter and outstanding national chapter for its achievements and efforts in programming, chapter growth and community outreach. The honorary society is composed of students, faculty and staff who have academic experience abroad and is dedicated to promoting international education on campus. "When you look in terms of what's happening, you would be alienated in terms of your own existence if you're not aware of what's happening globally," said Charles Gliozzo, an MSU professor and member of the MSU chapter of Phi Beta Delta. Representatives from the chapter will accept the awards at the Phi Beta Delta national conference in San Diego on Thursday. "Since (members) are so dedicated, it's a testimonial to the work they've been doing for many years," Gliozzo said.
I find it interesting that John Bice's latest column, "Readers missed point in column; Bible not literally true, unchanging" (SN 3/17), does not address real evidence and merely spouts out his opinions. He does not address the fact that we have a great abundance of manuscript copies of the New Testament, but merely quotes an opinion unsupported with evidence. Consider this: We have more than 24,000 copies of the New Testament.
By the end of the night, downtown East Lansing could be roughly twice the size it was this morning. The downtown district currently stretches from Valley Court Park to Collingwood Drive.
"In Memory of My Father" is a dark comedy about a dysfunctional family — clearly something all audiences can relate to.
I would like to respond to the letter from Charles Szafir "New wage increase won't help economy" (SN 3/16). He says, "there are more efficient ways to do it (help poor people) (such as tax breaks for those in lower income brackets)." Tax breaks to low-income people will not do anything.
Five protesters were arrested for trespassing in front of a military recruiting center in Lansing as part of an anti-war rally Monday afternoon. About 30 members of the No More War, No More Lies anti-war campaign organized the two-hour protest at the U.S.
A few weeks ago, I was sitting in class examining a photograph that was pretty intriguing. Taken at some sort of carnival, the dark background shows a merry-go-round ride with a bunch of two-person seats.
ASMSU and RHA want you to vote in their elections this week. MSU's undergraduate student government and the Residence Halls Association are making it incredibly easy for students to vote for this year's student elections. They can vote either today or Wednesday. And it's online. ASMSU plans on having laptop computers stationed around campus so students can vote between classes for candidates to represent different colleges, halls and on a proposed $3 tax increase. Members of ASMSU say their tax increase, which would bring the ASMSU per-semester tax to $16.75, would help them continue and expand vital services. It's clear our student government is trying to make voting as easy for students as possible.

"The focus of this event is to raise awareness about the success of fair trade, and why it's successful worldwide," she said.
