Although a recycling program has been in place at MSU for many years, it has been expanded this fall to include bins for various other paper products in the residence halls, said Pete Pasterz, manager of the Office of Recycling and Waste Management. "Students have been asking for an expansion of the types of things they can recycle," he said.
Notre Dame (1-0) at Michigan (1-0) Under new coach Charlie Weis, Notre Dame heads into Michigan Stadium to battle the Wolverines in what will be a marquee game between the two historic programs.

After a win against UMass and a tie against Denver, the MSU men's soccer team is getting into the flow of the season and preparing for its weekend tournament. Those games were the only ones the Spartans (1-0-1) will have to play back to back, and even though it took a physical toll on the team, head coach Joe Baum said there are positives to playing two games close together. "Going through the physical demands of playing two games in two days - we got through that, and that will help us from a physical and preparation standpoint," he said. The Spartans face Long Island on Friday in the U-M Tournament in Ann Arbor. Baum said the freshmen are fitting in well, making an immediate contribution.
After Troy Brya finished hugging his wife and two young children at Lansing's Capital City Airport on Wednesday night, the reality of his situation began to set in. In less than an hour, he and three other East Lansing firefighters would leave for at least the next 30 days to help with the devastation and confusion left by Hurricane Katrina. "All they said was plan on adverse conditions," East Lansing Fire Marshal Bob Pratt said.
The Spartan Marching Band is putting a new twist on recycling this fall. Every 10 years, the band orders new uniforms, leaving the old ones out of commission.
People interested in learning about legal issues including divorce, criminal and disability law will have the chance to listen local lawyers and professors beginning Sept.
In the few years of being here I have experienced a wide array of racism - mostly indications of ignorance. While walking down Albert Avenue on Saturday night (8/27) during Welcome Weekend, my friend was stopped by a white male in FUBU clothes.
When friends come together to put on an art exhibit, the results can be groundbreaking. "The Buddy System," which opens Friday at (SCENE) Metrospace, promises to wow audiences. The exhibit is a collaboration of 14 local and state artists, as well as a wide variety of national artists. The idea for the exhibit was the brainchild of a group who met often to discuss art and unfinished pieces they were currently working on. "We would talk about them and critique them," said artist and 2000 MSU graduate Peter Richards. The exhibit originally opened at 555 Gallery/Studio in Detroit, 4884 Grand River Ave., a few months ago.
As hundreds of people make their way to Lansing after losing their homes when Hurricane Katrina ravaged the south, St.
The sweet fragrance of hookah smoke fills the room as a group of people sit around the water pipe, holding small hoses as gray smoke from the flavored tobacco curls around their heads. This scene could be in a dark restaurant or a crammed dorm room in the middle of the afternoon.
In response to Tali Hylen's letter "Students, city need better relationship" (SN 8/31), it is unacceptable that fellow students are vandalizing residents' homes. On behalf of the majority of MSU students, I would like to offer an apology to those East Lansing residents that have dealt with this embarrassing problem. What residents need to remember is that East Lansing is a "college town." If it makes you feel better to view East Lansing as more of a city and less of a college town, then feel free.
MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon deviated from her prepared speech Thursday afternoon, but she stuck to the message as she laid out her plans for MSU's future in front of several hundred people in the Kellogg Center's Big Ten Room. Her address opened the Sesquicentennial Academic Convocation, held to celebrate MSU's 150th anniversary. After introductions by sesquicentennial committee Chairwoman Sue Carter and MSU Board of Trustees Chairman David Porteous, Simon announced her new "Boldness by Design" initiative - a series of strategic actions that include developing a new residential college and pushing MSU's National Institutes of Health research funding past the $100 million mark by 2012. At the center of the initiative is a commitment that MSU will be recognized worldwide as the United States' leading land-grant university by 2012, which Simon stated directly in her speech. "We are simply going to execute in a way that's unsurpassed in higher education," she said. For more on this story, please see Friday's edition of The State News.
Who would've thought that the goofy dad from "American Pie," and the smooth-talking, ruthless killer from "Pulp Fiction" would make a great comedic duo? "The Man," starring Eugene Levy and Samuel L.
As a group that focuses on serving students - not only at MSU, but outside of the university - ASMSU's Academic Assembly unanimously passed a bill to honor and aid Hurricane Katrina victims as well as advocate taking in evacuated students at its Tuesday meeting.
The sun set across the lawn beside the rock on Farm Lane as about 65 students, teachers and community members solemnly gathered for a university-sponsored candlelight vigil to honor the victims of Hurricane Katrina on Wednesday. "It's complicated, and it's sad," mechanical engineering senior Stephen Casey said. Casey, a transfer student from Tulane University in New Orleans and Holt native, was driving down to Tulane to begin his fall semester last week when he received word that Tulane's classes would be postponed, and then called off completely for at least the rest of the semester. Although Casey is now enrolled at MSU, he has friends he knows from Tulane that he is unable to make contact with. "The worst part is not knowing," Casey said. Casey said there is an online directory for Tulane students to remain in contact with one another. "I check it everyday," he said.
Lately it seems we're getting our music fix from TV shows rather than music videos. MTV plays better music as background for their slew of reality shows more than they do on "TRL" or "Direct Effect," which are virtually their only shows dedicated to playing music videos.
Most people are exposed to small amounts of harmful chemicals every day, but MSU researchers will soon delve into the role people's genes play in developing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. The researchers will use two grants, a total of more than $3 million, to conduct a study of children's behavior, environment and genetic makeup to determine possible correlations, said Joel Nigg, associate professor in the Department of Psychology and lead researcher in the study. "The genetics part is important, but it's not in a vacuum," Nigg said.
