MSU and Grand Rapids community leaders are inching closer to a decision about the future of the university's College of Human Medicine. Stakeholders in a proposed expansion of the college are scheduled to meet today in Grand Rapids to continue discussions about the project, and the group's final report could be in the works. During the summer, specialized work groups looked into the feasibility of different aspects of the project. The work groups were coordinated by Van Andel Institute Chief Administrative Officer Steve Heacock, who was charged with facilitating discussions among the stakeholders. Heacock said he has spent the last month and a half talking with the chairpersons of those work groups and drafting a report of recommendations.

Valley Forge Military Academy and College in Wayne, Pa., will open its doors to women for the first time in fall 2006, becoming the last all-male military academy to do so. Many in the MSU community say the move is evidence of the increasing roles women are being offered in society. History Professor Lisa Fine said women have proven to be capable of military service, and their acceptance at Valley Forge reflects this. "In the aftermath of the Gulf War and the most recent Iraq war, women have performed well and provided crucial contributions," Fine said.

Chicago — The expectations keep growing for the MSU men's basketball team. MSU is ranked near the top in most preseason publications, and now they have one more expectation to live up to: preseason Big Ten favorite. Head coach Tom Izzo's squad was selected as the favorite by the media attending Sunday's Big Ten basketball Media Day. "It's best to be picked high and try to meet those expectations than it is to be picked low and try to beat those expectations," Izzo said. Last year's national runner-up Illinois and Indiana follow the Spartans in the poll. "There's probably seven or eight teams in the conference that can be competitive," said Bruce Weber, Illinois' head coach and the reigning national Coach of the Year.

In Matt Cook's letter to the editor "Clothes contribute to reasons to rape" (SN 10/27), I commend him for one thing only: "There is no excuse for a man to rape a woman and this crime shouldn't go unpunished." Other than that, I have to say that I am one male who strongly disagrees with the rest of your argument. Rape is a crime of power and control, not the fulfillment of "lust or passionate desires." Rape is a violent crime with a sexual means, where the genitalia are used as the weapon to disempower and control the victim by instilling fear. Just as brutally hacking a person to death with a kitchen knife does not constitute a culinary masterpiece, neither does raping a person constitute fulfilling a passionate desire.
