This one's to you, MSU football fan. Apparently, a 4-2 start just isn't good enough. Coming into the season, expectations were, like always, mediocre, but then a funny thing happened. The team started out 4-0 with a captivating win against Notre Dame and earned a No.
If I have learned anything from being in a fraternity, it is that image is the most important thing when recruiting season comes along.
Some students said a proposed adjustment to campus meal plans — which would offer unlimited access to cafeterias for extended hours — might not be a necessary, or cost effective, change. A few were concerned with the possible removal of Totally Takeout options on campus.

There needs to be some sort of permit or training class before people are allowed to have cell phones. In the same way that there are good drivers, some people can handle their cell phones fine.
Most people know MSU for its size, basketball teams and parties. But in the professional world, three programs distinguish themselves as some of the best in the nation — dietetics, supply chain management and packaging. These majors rise to the top because of their histories and reputations. In some academic circles, MSU is as good as it gets. Dietetics As America's waistline expands, dietetics has become an important tool for educating society about fad diets, obesity and eating disorders. "It has been termed the toxic environment," said Linda Summers, academic adviser to MSU's dietetics program.
Last weekend's "Midnight Madness" was a disappointment. Not because I feel the basketball team is going to be a bust or that Tom Izzo is incompetent, but rather the whole thing seemed to have been highjacked by the United Service Organizations. Instead of being an event to kick off MSU basketball, it seemed to be more about celebrating and supporting a military action. As a student at MSU and a citizen of the United States, I do not believe a publicly funded university should so openly and publicly support military action. A university's function is to educate students so that they can think critically and come to their own conclusions, not be a cheerleader one way or the other. In the future, I hope MSU plans events that celebrate MSU and stay away from political commentary. Bruce Nanasy plant biology senior
Overall After starting the season 4-0, people were ready to bow down to the coaching staff and players. Now after two consecutive losses, plenty of opinions have been voiced over certain coaching calls and big plays that weren't made by players. The bottom line is that the Spartans have been playing good football.
Thanks for running the article "Stemming cures" (SN 10/18) about a new, less-objectionable form of embryonic stem cell research.
It's been 10 years since the MSU field hockey team found itself in its current position. The Spartans have started the Big Ten season 0-4 for the first time since 1995, putting them in unfamiliar and undesirable territory.

Reggie Bush Junior running back Southern Cal Last week: Rushed 15 times for 160 yards and three touchdowns Was all over the field to lead the Trojans past Notre Dame. Matt Leinart Senior quarterback Southern Cal Last week: Went 17-of-32 for 301 yards with two interceptions Did not have a great game but that doesn't matter with Leinart.
In response to the Drew Robert Winter's column "Branding of creationism as a science shouldn't let it in schools" (SN 10/04) the first thing that comes to mind is "wow." Those are some bold and uneducated remarks about creationism saying it's a theory, not science. What is science then?
The independent commission released its report with 29 recommendations on how to prevent future civil disturbances after reviewing the events of April 2-3. The document states police should use tear gas as a possible last resort when dealing with large crowds, officers should have identification on their riot gear and loud sound systems should be used to tell people to scatter in the event of an unlawful assembly, among other items.

Michigan (4-3, 2-2) at Iowa (5-2, 3-1) The Hawkeyes will try to stay in the Big Ten lead against the Wolverines, who roll into Iowa City on the heels of a last-second win over Penn State.
The special teams blunders this season — two missed field goals against Michigan and the blocked field goal for a touchdown against Ohio State — will almost certainly go down in infamy.
LL Cool J once said "Don't call it a comeback/ I been here for years/ Rockin' my peers and putting suckas in fear." But Kurt Russell's new movie "Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story" is definitively a comeback tale. The film was released nationally today and chronicles the fall and rise of a racing horse.
