The 2006 Chinese Spring Festival Gala will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Saturday at Haslett High School, 5450 Marsh Road in Haslett.
Ever wonder which Spartans basketball player does the best impression of the coach? Which one clears the table at the pregame meal?

I've been approaching Super Bowl XL with a "new-Sports Illustrated-in-the-mailbox" (swimsuit issue not withstanding) or "taco-night-in-the-cafeteria" level of excitement.
By Justin Kroll For The State News It is rare today in movies that we see directors take the gamble of slowing a film down and making it into a piece of thought-provoking art, instead of a fast-paced, action-packed epic.

Student government officials are one step closer to bringing a free, permission-based, campuswide text-messaging service to campus. The text-messaging service provides electronic coupons, notifications of canceled classes, allows student groups and administrators to send messages to students and alerts members of emergencies among other messages. ASMSU'S Student Assembly passed the bill at its meeting Thursday night to establish the Mobile Campus Inc. text message technology on campus. ASMSU is MSU's undergraduate student government. Students have to sign up for the service through a Web site.
My upper lip is burning and tingling while my nose is subjected to harsh bleach fumes. Ladies, you know what I'm talking about. I am sitting here, waiting precisely eight minutes until I can wash my face and reveal lightened baby hairs that could have potentially been a subtle set of whiskers. Clearly, this is not allowed for women. While I personally subject myself to pain and severe tingling sensations, I am reminded of all the little (and big) things that women endure to conform to the stereotype that is our gender role. Makeup.
The April 2-3 disturbances and the security system in Emmons Hall were among the topics university officials discussed with members of the Residence Halls Association, or RHA, on Wednesday. Lee June, vice president of Student Affairs and Services, said MSU police are willing to meet jointly with RHA to address any of the members' questions and concerns about possible future disturbances, in efforts to correct and prevent any incidents similar to the ones in 2005. He said in the future, if action needs to be taken, police need to announce their intentions more times and louder on speakers. In the event of future disturbances, "I am sure you as students will do the positive things you did last year," June said.
By Jessica Sipperley For The State News The No. 18 MSU wrestling team is looking to bounce back from a cross-town loss at Michigan when the Spartans compete in their first home Big Ten meet of the season against Purdue tonight. The 27-12 loss to No.
I was appalled when I read what Steven Szasz wrote in "Column gives bad view of Christians" (SN 1/30). The majority of our country bases its religion on a book that, as Jon Stewart put it, begins with "two nudists taking dietary advice from a talking snake." This is to all of the people out there like Szasz who believe firmly in the Bible. My question, though, is that if you want to quote things out of the Bible, you have to believe everything that the Bible says, don't you?
By Katherine LaLonde For The State News Students walking on campus might have heard Michael Jackson's "Beat It" blaring from the third floor of Jenison Field House on Thursday afternoon. If students had been there, they would have seen hula hoops, spirit fingers and oversized exercise balls whirling around the women's gymnastics practice area. The No.
I disagree with many of the assertions made by Ruzbeh Hosseini in his recent opinion column, "International cooperation, attention — not force — needed in Iran" (SN 1/30). One of the few points on which I agree with Hosseini is his assertion that violent intervention in Iran by the international community would be "disastrous." However, his column is full of vague references to the "Iranian people," as if it were a homogeneous entity.
Detroit has a bad reputation. There are people who claim it's a dangerous, ugly city — most of whom have never actually been there. Some of them don't live in Michigan, and some are talk show hosts. They won't venture downtown, but they offer plenty of opinion on what's wrong with it. But when people come to Detroit for Super Bowl XL on Sunday, they will get a chance to see Detroit for what it really is and not what stereotypes say it is. When it was first announced in November 2000 that Detroit would host the 2006 Super Bowl, questions and jokes were incessant. Who would want to go to the big game in a crime-infested city like Detroit? But city officials and residents have taken the challenge to show visitors how wrong their misconceptions are by presenting all the city has to offer.
Trying to find a unique angle on the Super Bowl is like trying to find someone in Hollywood that Paris Hilton hasn't slept with.
The man charged with the murder and rape of a Lansing Community College professor last year had slept in campus buildings on more than one occasion, testimony in his trial showed Thursday. Carolyn Kronenberg, 60, was found beaten, strangled and raped before her class was scheduled to begin the morning of Jan.

What is happening to my alma mater? More restrictions on partying with the ridiculous extension of ordinances against outdoor drinking games? Incredible. My four years at MSU were filled with great times (the "Magic" years), great partying and a successful education.
