Maybe some college students don't understand all the particulars of balancing a checkbook or keeping track of money. But you'd think that members of ASMSU — with a budget of about $850,000 — would be a little more knowledgeable when it comes to financial matters. Unfortunately, however, ASMSU's Academic Assembly found errors before the undergraduate student government's budget was proposed at its meeting Tuesday. The "typo" was an addition error that failed to account for $5,000 on promotional spending and changed the total amount presented on the budget. That's quite a typo. Sure, everyone makes mistakes.

Iowa City, Iowa — Maurice Ager would love to tell you why he's been struggling lately, why he's scored just 15 points in the last two games, why his performances this season have been so up and down that they'd be better suited to Cedar Point than Breslin Center. Yep, he'd love to tell you — if he knew why. "It's been streaky," Ager said.
An apology from university officials about their actions during the April 2-3 disturbances, nearly 10 months after they occurred, was met with mixed emotions from the MSU community and support from university officials. At a joint meeting Wednesday between ASMSU and the Residence Halls Association, Fred Poston, MSU's vice president for finance and operations, interrupted MSU police Chief Jim Dunlap's response to a student's question to announce he was "very sorry" that students were "inappropriately teargassed." A day after the meeting, several MSU officials said they had planned to apologize all along. But MSU spokesman Terry Denbow called The State News soon after the meeting to ask what Poston had said. And Poston called The State News on Thursday to reaffirm his position — that the apology given Wednesday was planned. "It wasn't spontaneous," Poston said, adding that officials wanted the apology to be issued in a student-centered forum.

As a student from the Netherlands visiting MSU for a couple of weeks, my attention was drawn to Mike Ramsey's "People skirting issue, merely comment on 'tastelessness' of images" (SN 2/14). His description of a bigoted, anti-Muslim Europe clearly demonstrates his ignorance of Europe. It leads me to question whether he has ever visited Europe and, if so, I am sure he has not ventured far outside the tourist areas where he might have encountered the truth about the problems he so hastily attributes to European racism. I don't know how much time Ramsey spent researching his story, but he has obviously missed that Europe has provided non-Western immigrants with resources like housing, welfare and health care for more than 30 years without demanding anything in return. Many immigrant communities — first and foremost the Islamic — are now turning on their hosts.
The liner notes say Akimbo recorded its latest album in Seattle, Wash., but it seems more likely that the songs came straight out of hell. Satan would gladly slap high-fives with all four band members for their latest release, "Forging Steel and Laying Stone," which came out on Jan.
