Stress of finals creeping up? Feeling a little culturally deprived lately? Just have that antsy, gotta-get-out-of-the-dorm feeling?
College students live double lives. In our respective college towns, we're scholars, slackers, socialites or some combination of the above.
The first Satrang 2006 meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Erickson Hall Kiva. Students must attend in order to choreograph or participate. A $10 membership fee is due at the time of sign-ups. Satrang includes the singing of both the U.S.
Lloyd Ward wants to know how many pushups he can do in 60 seconds. The MSU alumnus is challenging MSU students tonight during halftime at the men's basketball game versus Georgia Tech. Ward, chairman and CEO of BodyBlocks Nutrition System Inc., will compete against five students to try to break the Guinness world record for pushups in one minute.
By Jonathan Schultz Special to The State News When buying his books this semester, David Lepsetz turned to the Internet. "One of my friends said he did it all four years here, so I decided to try it," said Lepsetz, a telecommunication, information studies and media senior. He ended up saving $100. Lepsetz is one of many students who have turned to the Internet when looking for lower-priced alternatives to the campus bookstores. "Bookstore prices have been raising faster than the cost of living," said economics adjunct Professor Carl Liedholm.
ASMSU and the provost's office both made plans to create a Web site listing undergraduate research opportunities without realizing they had the same idea. Members of ASMSU's Academic Assembly passed a bill last week calling for the creation of such a Web site, but administrators have already set aside hundreds of thousands of dollars for a similar project. Administrators hope to have the site — which would offer specific research opportunities for undergraduate students and possibly be sorted by college — running next semester, said June Youatt, assistant provost for undergraduate education and dean of undergraduate studies. Youatt added that administrators want to have a planning meeting with students and faculty before the end of this semester. "It's great ASMSU is thinking — it's wonderful that we're converging on goals," Youatt said.
Black power is a sense of community — this is the definition Ashley Hall keeps with her in her everyday life. "(Black power) is a term used to express a sense of pride and to rejoice in the ethnic roots we have accomplished so far," the journalism senior said.
In downtown Grand Rapids, it's known as "the hill" or "the medical mile." On a steep rise of land east of the Grand River sits the Van Andel Institute, a state-of-the-art cancer research center, with a view of the business district stretching out below. Just across the street is Spectrum Health Systems' Butterworth Campus, home of the DeVos Children's Hospital and the Fred and Lena Meijer Heart Center.
Although I have only reviewed a couple weeks of his recent cartoons, and I don't necessarily see eye to eye with his positions, I think The State News should rejoice in the skill and talent of Mike Ramsey. Wit, insight and the ability to clarify an opinion shine through most of his work.
The East Lansing High School Ski Team is sliding a cinematic treat into town guaranteed to lift the sprits of outdoor enthusiasts for the colder half of the year. At 7 p.m.
The National Football League season is now 12 weeks old, and the contenders have been separated from the pretenders. The biggest thing that hasn't changed is the general opinion on the various NFL divisions. Every time I turn on a television program or a radio show that is talking about sports or the NFL, all I hear is how the NFC North is the worst division and how its teams can't be taken seriously. After 12 weeks, though, the NFC North boasts a team with a seven-game winning streak and the second-best record in the NFC.
It's flu season. This means running noses, sore throats, fevers, upset stomachs and many other symptoms. It can also mean missed classes. Unfortunately for students, missing class because of the flu can contribute to an already pounding headache. Without a uniform attendance policy, how to deal with a missed class is left up to each professor's discretion.
As the temperatures drop below freezing in East Lansing, many students are turning to bulky sweaters and sweats to stay warm.
Dan Minnis' letter, "Writer doesn't know dairy fundamentals" (SN 11/23), is a blatant lie.
A lack of diversity on the newly elected Lansing City Council and Mayor's office has some worried that less representation could hurt minority interests. Mayor Tony Benavides, who is Hispanic, and Councilmember Geneva Smith, who is black, were both defeated in the Nov.
As a year-round bicycle commuter, I found "Road Rules" (SN 11/28) infuriating. MSU is a bike-hostile campus. Bike lanes start from nowhere and end without warning (West Shaw). Pedestrians walk in clearly marked bike lanes (again, West Shaw). Intersections have been designed by people with their heads up their exhaust pipes.
Performing at an art gallery seems like an ideal venue for Charlemagne. The spacey, indie-pop band's second album "Detour Allure" is full of thoughtful lyrics, soothing pop melodies and calm vocals.
It's been almost a month since the East Lansing City Council met for its usual meeting. And at the first meeting back on the regular Tuesday schedule, council members set Dec.
The State News presents five things going on in the world of pop culture that might make your life a little bit better: 1.
I must say I was irate when I picked up my copy of The State News and saw that the film review for "Rent" ("'Rent' a disappointment" SN 11/28), was horrible and inaccurate, to say the least. I saw the big screen rendition of this phenomenal Broadway performance during Thanksgiving with my family.
