For those sports fans who say athletes are not human and all they care about is the money, I have a few examples of why you are wrong. During the past few months I have heard quite a few stories of professional and college athletes and coaches who have made an impact in someone's life off the field. Does this mean that these people are great human beings that deserve a bunch of extra attention? No it doesn't.
The independent commission will meet from 8 a.m. to noon today in the Executive Conference Room of the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road. Commissioners will discuss possible recommendations for their draft report, due out before the Oct.
Did you know? The longest winning streak that Michigan has held against MSU in the all-time series has been a span of 14 victories in a row. The Wolverines held that edge from 1916-1929 before the Spartans were able to snap U-M's streak. In the last meeting between the teams at Spartan Stadium in 2003, Michigan ripped apart the MSU defense on the ground and through the air.
I've never been one to surround myself with drugs or alcohol, and I doubt I ever will be. As a freshman, I had preconceived notions of "college life" in terms of drinking and drugs, but I found myself a little ignorant when I saw the reality. All of the stereotypes portrayed in movies and the media about college partying appear to be true, or at least not far from it. About two days after I arrived here, the pressure was on.
The East Lansing Planning Commission will host a public forum to discuss the East Village Master Plan on Wednesday. The plan could redevelop the area, which houses the Cedar Village apartments and six fraternities among other buildings, into retail space, apartments or condominiums. The affected area is bounded on the north and south by Grand River Avenue and the Red Cedar River and on the west and east by Bogue Street and Hagadorn Road. Peter Dewan, vice chair of the planning commission, said the forum will allow for "inclusiveness" with the public.

Dear Dr. D, I gained some unwanted weight this summer and I am worried about gaining more this fall.
More students have been using ASMSU-sponsored services - such as legal counsel, copying and fax machines and interest-free loans - since last year, but student government leaders say they are still working to get the word out. "The more people we can service the better," said Andrew Schepers, chairperson of ASMSU's Student Assembly.

I feel compelled to respond to Bryan Dahl's letter to the editor ("SN cartoon shocking, ignorant of the truth" SN 9/12). It is a shining beacon of pure ignorance.
Sunday morning hits and the proverbial scene is set: Cups are everywhere, trash litters the floor and cupboards are sticky. An East Lansing house party has come and gone, leaving devastation in its wake. It's a student's demise, said electrical engineering junior Jim McGinn, whose apartment still has beer cans from Thursday. But to Charlie Moore the scene equals money. Or potential business at least. Twenty-nine-year-old Moore founded Get That Dirt Inc. to fill a business niche he discovered after talking with East Lansing friends and calling area cleaning services. "I heard (from) a few my friends who said they wished there was a cleaning service here - they were too busy, too tired to clean their own room," said Moore, a graduate student at Western Michigan University and an Okemos resident.

The Dalby sisters, who are now also sorority sisters, are among the women who participated this past week in the greek system's Recruitment Week - the process of becoming an active sorority member - that culminated in invitations to join different houses Monday. "We're sisters and now we're in the same house, so it means a lot," Annie Dalby said.
A project created by MSU students about the Cherokee Nation now appears on the American Indian tribe's national Web site. As part of the class WRA 417: "Multimedia Writing," about 12 students researched and created a project focusing on the Allotment Era - a period between 1887 and 1934 when all of the land owned by U.S.
After reading the different police briefs over the past couple weeks and seeing that multiple students have had money stolen due to some scams - not to be rude - but it serves you right.
