ASMSU, the undergraduate student government, has stepped up. The State of the Student Address on Tuesday night laid out ASMSU's future goals for MSU and students — including program proposals, projects and lobbying activities.
The Veronicas kind of look like the Olsen twins and sort of sing like Ashlee Simpson. The 20-year-old identical twins from Australia released their debut album "The Secret Life Of…" on Valentine's Day. It sounds like the soundtrack to a mall during the winter holiday shopping season — teenage girls gossiping and the stomps of shoppers running toward a sale. With the debut album, it's obvious the girls are trying to fit into the world of terrible, trendy musicianship — Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, the glamorized Jewel, Ryan Cabrera or, more generally, what MTV is shoveling down the throats of American youth. Neither one of the twins is named Veronica — they're Jess and Lisa Origliasso.
MSU student Brandon Yuille was indicted Wednesday on charges of computer intrusion and copyright infringement — which bring penalties of up to seven years in prison and $450,000 in fines if convicted. Yuille, a computer science and physics sophomore, was indicted by the U.S.
Atlantic Coast Conference No. 11 Boston College (21-6, 8-5) at No. 15 N.C. State, Saturday. Both teams are coming off tough losses this week.
Several MSU faculty members agree that e-mail has increased the ability of students and professors to communicate, even if the volume of that communication can prevent instant answers to questions. Some professors say, however, that poor e-mail etiquette can confuse a student's meaning, and can make it harder for an instructor to respond with a clear answer. "Some students do expect immediate responses at all hours, and are unskilled at using e-mail effectively to communicate," said Robert Wiseman, a management associate professor who, incidentally, responded via e-mail. He said student e-mails that have an inappropriate tone or word choice hinder the intent of the communication.

An MSU student and two other men are in custody for assaulting a non-MSU student in a Hubbard Hall room Thursday afternoon. The men — one of whom was armed with a handgun — poured gasoline onto the victim and assaulted him, MSU spokesman Terry Denbow said, adding that no one was seriously injured. Within minutes, the three men were arrested, MSU police Lt.
The first game of the Matt Trannon injury era was one that MSU would like to forget. Without the senior forward, the Spartans floundered on both ends of the court.
While thousands of MSU students are finalizing their bathing suit choices and road trip routes for spring break, the men's basketball team has a different agenda.
OK, we just completed phase one of the "special election" for the open Michigan Senate seat. And we get to do it all over again in a few weeks. Why are we voting twice when we could vote once, if the Ingham County commissioners would adopt instant runoff voting?
ASMSU's Programming Board allocated $750 to help bring Joe Carr, an American anarchist and Palestinian supporter, to campus to speak to students about the resistance movement in Iraq. But his visit Saturday has stirred emotions among members of ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government, many of whom disagree with his message. Protecting Carr's First Amendment right to speak to students on campus is a priority, said Deena Awad, the Arab Cultural Society chairperson and representative for ASMSU's Student Assembly. Carr, a self-proclaimed anti-oppression activist and performance artist, promotes overthrowing the U.S.
No. 18 MSU vs. Indiana 12:00 p.m. Sunday at Assembly Hall ON TV CBS The Boss — First off, I'd like to give myself a pat on the back for correctly picking the shoe/skate shuffle before it happened at basketball and hockey games the past few weeks.
Vagina. Va-gin-a. Say it with me. It's OK. Some people might not be comfortable thinking about basic parts of human anatomy, let alone reading or naming them. Vaginas.
He's the doctor who advised Michelle Kwan to withdraw from the Winter Olympics. And he got his start in medicine at MSU. Dr. James Moeller is one of the medical doctors working with American athletes in Turin through the U.S.
It is time to set the record straight: Embryonic stem cell research is a dead end. Despite all the time and money invested, embryonic stem cells produce one thing — tumors. The plain and simple truth is that there is little or no value in continued embryonic stem cell research.
Astrologists study the positions of the moon, sun and other planets in the belief that their locations will affect people.
After almost two years of preparing data on its programs, MSU has just two days to make its case for re-accreditation — which could bring more federal funding to the university in the future. A 13-person site team from the North Central Association's Higher Learning Commission will meet with more than 100 administrators, faculty and staff members when they come to campus Monday and Tuesday. The association is an Arizona-based accrediting organization for K-12 schools and universities. "It's the end of a two-year process of looking at ourselves, collecting data from a whole set of sources and trying to pull it together to tell the MSU story," said Karen Klomparens, dean of The Graduate School and co-coordinator of MSU's accreditation self study. Federal financial aid is based on an institution's accreditation status, which is decided every 10 years, Klomparens said. The site visit is meant to personally verify the university's self study, which was submitted two months ago, Provost Kim Wilcox said. "It's to confirm what we've written is accurate, and also for them to get a sense of how we put the goals into action on campus," Wilcox said. Universities are required to meet five criteria in the self study — defining their mission and integrity, preparing for future opportunities, providing evidence of student learning and teaching effectiveness, supporting creativity and social responsibility and maintaining a commitment to engagement.
