The State News recently caught up with MSU wrestler Nick Simmons. The Spartans went 1-1 in meets against Pittsburgh and Edinboro. • Last movie he's seen in theaters: "Walk the Line" • Brad and Jen or Brad and Angelina: "Brad and Jen" • Last song played on his iPod: "Temperature by Sean Paul" • His mentality going into a match: "With any match, I just want to get in and out as quickly as possible.
Every year, there always seems to be someone that disagrees with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and thinks everyone in the country should not honor it, but this, by far, is the most hateful response I have seen. I am sorry that David Garlock ("Historical man not worth vast attention" SN 1/19) had to miss one day of mail and had to take a day off work (although there were plenty of people who did work on that day), but that is how you chose to celebrate the holiday.
By Katie Luscombe Special for The State News Volunteers stood at the doors of the MSU men's basketball game Saturday, hoping to collect spare change or canned food donations. While some diverted their eyes from the collection-bucket holders, there were many fans in the crowd who gave to the MSU Student Food Bank's fundraiser. Kristin Moretto, director of the MSU Student Food Bank, watched this happen over and over at Saturday's fundraiser held at Breslin Center during the MSU vs.

In response to David Garlock's letter, "Historical man not worth vast attention" (1/19), I've got to say, we need to give this guy the official "Republican Medal of Honor." He's judgmental of human flaws, speaks around condemnations without citing a single fact, opposes not only reform but also civil liberties themselves and harbors a paranoid delusion of government overstepping its mandate to protect the populous.
Some members of the MSU Board of Trustees said the board is not doing anything wrong by having closed work sessions the night before its monthly meetings. But the justifications they provided for closing those sessions left us with more questions than answers. The board holds closed work sessions the day before their formal meeting, in which the two committees talk about the issues on the agenda.

• The MSU women's basketball team lost a heartbreaker Sunday when Ohio State's Jessica Davenport made a layup with less than a second left. Just saying — this probably wouldn't have happened if we had gotten the timekeeper from the 2001 MSU-Michigan football game to work this one. • The student who portrays the Northwestern State mascot, Vic the Demon, is recovering from a game injury suffered when a pep band member ran over him. When is this kind of abuse going to stop, America?

"We want an immediate and lasting impact on students," said Julielyn Gibbons, director of legislative affairs for ASMSU's Student Assembly.

For the first time, MSU's external auditors will be able to reapply to retain their positions after their six-year renewable contracts expire. Plante & Moran, an external auditing firm based in the Midwest with an office in East Lansing, was selected as the auditor for the next fiscal year on Jan.
MSU head coach Tom Izzo was pleased with his team's performance in the Spartans' 85-55 domination of Iowa on Saturday.
