The Residence Halls Association, or RHA, approved a bill Wednesday to "preliminarily concur" with University Housing's recommendation to change student meal plans beginning fall 2007. In the new plan, dining halls would be open from 7 a.m.
With winter quickly approaching, accessories begin to hide underneath large coats and long pants. But don't worry, you can still accessorize with scarves.
Virg Bernero claimed his victory as Lansing mayor at about 10:45 p.m. Tuesday with 15 percent of the precincts reporting, but incumbent Tony Benavides said he wouldn't concede. "I'm told the numbers look good and victory is ours," he said.
The fact that the MSU students have been classified as temporary residents in all the articles I have been reading lately is disappointing.
He's becoming a larger part of the movies than overpriced popcorn. And he's turning into a bigger component of television than the remote control. But blockbuster triumphs have not changed the personality of Steve Carell. "I'm pretty much the same kind of boring guy," Carell said.
Having won only two of its last 10 matches in conference play, the floundering MSU volleyball team will head to Ann Arbor on Wednesday in an attempt to resurrect its season. The Spartans (11-13 overall, 4-10 Big Ten), sitting in a three-way tie for eighth in the Big Ten, will face off against Michigan at 7 p.m.
Students in two MSU classes were met with a guest appearance from women's basketball coach Joanne P.
Fire MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon. That is the only option after reading her despicable letter sent out to permanent residents dated Oct.
Local voters took advantage of free rides on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the East Lansing City Council election. The MSU College Democrats and the Capital Area Transportation Authority, or CATA, both offered free services to help people get to the polls.
Former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV says he should have been out of the public limelight two years ago. After the White House retracted the 16 words he contested in President Bush's 2003 State of the Union address — claims Iraq had sought uranium for nuclear weapons from Africa — Wilson said he and his wife Valerie Plame should have been able to continue on with their Washington lives. He spoke Tuesday night at the Kellogg Center in front of more than 1,000 people who sat mostly in silence, erupting in applause a few times — once for an imitation of Bush's pronunciation of "nuclear." But in the two years since Bush's speech, his wife's covert CIA identity has been exposed and Wilson said challenges to his character have followed. His speech detailed his stay as ambassador to two African countries and a frantic time in which he orchestrated the release of American hostages seized by Iraq during the Gulf War. Wilson's appearance was sponsored by the Greater Lansing Jewish Welfare Federation and MSU's Hillel Jewish Student Center, 360 Charles St.
The two youths found driving a stolen car in Lansing on Friday will face charges of receiving and concealing stolen property, according to Lansing Community College Police and Public Safety. The car was taken from Ramp 2, which is near Bessey Hall, on Oct.
Hanson is not the same band it was eight years ago when "MmmBop" took over the airwaves with its infectious pop melody.
MSU is considered a party school with rambunctious students. We like to celebrate, and riots have been known to happen with either a sports victory or defeat. However, the riots in East Lansing over the years don't compare with what's happening in France. Rioting by French adolescents spread across 300 towns in 14 days of violence and led to several injuries, including 36 police, and one death. More than 1,200 rioters were arrested, and more than 2,000 cars were burned. French officials have been unable to stop the riots within their own country, which have already spread into Belgium and Germany. East Lansing police could probably handle it. In comparison, the situation in France shows the perception of the April 2-3 disturbances as a "riot" is overblown. When a riot or disturbance occurs on campus, those who participate aren't filled with anarchy but just want to rattle cages.
Aaron Foley's column, "Rosa Parks deserves a worthy dedication" (SN 11/02), is full of uneducated assumptions that defile many individuals and their tribute songs. The entire column is filled with meaningless banter that shocked and offended me.
I have seen this troupe perform more than once, and "Troupe shouldn't be sponsored by Olin" (SN 10/28) is a terribly uneducated letter reprimanding a group for acts presented without even taking note as to why this group is presenting such acts. As a sexually active college student, it's entirely important to be aware of the reality that is "sex" in any form or act.
The state legislature and Gov. Jennifer Granholm hammered out an agreement last week that would provide for more than $3 billion in funds for job creation and a cut in the small-business tax. The bills would cut the tax by 0.05 percent starting in 2009. By cutting the small-business tax, employers can create more jobs statewide and help the economy, said Ari Adler, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Ken Sikkema, R-Wyoming. "One of the things we need to do in Michigan is become more competitive with our taxes," he said.
As of Tuesday, students from 12 of Michigan's 15 public universities plan to meet with state legislators to talk about higher education funding in Lansing on Thursday. With the help of ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government, the Association of Michigan Universities is hosting the 1 p.m.
Bonds should reflect the nature of the crime. A $1.5 million one, in the case of Karim M. Nasr seems fitting. Nasr is accused of attacking an MSU student in October. The charges he faces seem to justify a large bond: second-degree criminal sexual conduct, criminal sexual conduct assault with the intent to commit sexual penetration, assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and minor in possession of alcohol. Defense attorney Nabhi Ayad argued that because the charge of kidnapping was no longer being pursued, his client's bond should have been lowered.
After another week, the Big Ten title picture is as muddy as it ever was. The game with the most importance in the title picture this week is Northwestern traveling to Ohio Stadium to face Ohio State. Both teams could still win a share of the Big Ten title, but will need help from MSU to do so. If the Spartans defeat Penn State on Nov.
