I am a conservative, so I disagree with many of Mike Ramsey's political opinions. However, I admire his ability to keep Sidwood free of political nudges and allow it to be just a funny comic. That is where I take issue with Mallard Fillmore.
Brandon Warner scored his first collegiate goal, which turned out to be the game winner, Saturday against No.
It's been a really bad week for President Bush. And it will get worse. With further controversies involving Tom DeLay, Karl Rove and Bill Frist stretching to the upper echelons of the Republican Party, it's no wonder Bush's approval ratings are at a dismal 39 percent. It's hardly surprising the president said he wants to restart his second term.
A DeWitt Township man died while at Spartan Stadium during Saturday's game. MSU police say David Gamble, born in 1938, had a heart attack at about 1 p.m.
In the coming weeks, Barbara Kitchell will have to transform MSU's new Animal Cancer Care Clinic from a bright and airy 42,000-square-foot facility into a functioning, cutting-edge treatment center. But Kitchell, a professor of Small Animal Clinical Sciences, has undertaken lion-sized projects before. In December 2003, a keeper at Lansing's Potter Park Zoo noticed that Samburu, a male lion, was eating but still losing weight.
As an apparel and textile design student, I am disgusted with the correlation drawn between dress and violence against women in "Clothes contribute to reasons to rape" (SN 10/27). I found this to be disturbing that the focus, once again, is being drawn away from the actual problem of sexual violence against women, which lies in the mindset of the rapist himself and his views on women often formed during childhood and adolescence from a variety of influences such as upbringing, experiences and the media. Clothing is one of the most fundamental forms of self-expression and I think people should be able to dress the way they feel comfortable.
It's been a while since MSU has tasted victory. The sweetness, though, returned on Saturday. After three straight losses, MSU picked up its first win since Sept.
Students at several Michigan colleges participated in National Take Affirmative Action Day on Thursday to raise awareness about affirmative action issues. At MSU, several students dressed in black, showing solidarity with affirmative action supporters, and handed out information at six locations on campus.
Matt Cook ("Clothes contribute to reasons to rape" SN 10/26) writes there is no excuse for rape.
This letter is in response to "Fashion show raises fair labor issues" (SN 10/26). I do not understand why an unofficial event where six people congregate in front of the administration building is considered a "fashion show." The Students for Economic Justice, or SEJ, is a joke.
Conservative journalist — an oxymoron? I probably stick out like a sore thumb in this profession. Setting political preferences aside, I'm an average, tuition-paying college student interested in pursuing a degree in hopes of achieving my American dream to become a professional journalist.
Some students are saying the $1,733 in restitution attached to most guilty pleas for April 2-3 disturbance-related charges is ridiculous, while East Lansing officials say it's what the city is owed. The East Lansing City Attorney's Office calculated the cost to the city for the disturbances to be $69,293.10.

No. 25 Michigan (5-3, 3-2) at No. 21 Northwestern (5-2, 3-1) The Wildcats have made great strides in 2005.
"Howl at the Moon," a 3-mile hike for canines and their owners through the woods, will take place at 7 p.m.
MSU College of Law President Clifton Haley and his wife Carolyn are committed to donating $4 million to the law college to fund full scholarships for students and to establish two endowed chairs. Haley, a 1961 graduate of the college, formerly known as the Detroit College of Law, has served as president of the law college since 2001. "I felt it was necessary to give back and show leadership," Haley said.
A new political battleground has been set now that the bid to fill a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court is open again, said Frank Ravitch, a constitutional law expert at MSU. Harriet Miers — President Bush's nominee to fill the seat vacated by Sandra Day O'Connor on the nation's highest court — declined the president's recommendation Thursday.
Before Clifton Wharton's tenure as MSU president in the 1970s, fundraising at the university was a foreign idea. After a swank gala for major university donors on Oct.
The MSU women's volleyball team wasn't pleased with the first half of its season and will be looking to turn it around.
I was bothered by the editorial cartoon (SN 10/26) showing the 2,000 tallies representing American casualties in Iraq.
