During NBC's Hurricane Katrina relief telethon, Kanye West, in a selfish and unprofessional move, took the spotlight off the victims and placed it on himself. How inappropriate for an artist to utilize a national tragedy and a charity event, to aid in his own political agenda.
Now that we've enjoyed two weeks of fun on the field watching the Spartans have their way with both Hawaii and Kent State, it's time for some real competition. I shouldn't be this cocky though.
The terms Alari Adams learned in business classes - market principles, systematic risk, cost of capital, sales forecasts - are good in principle, she says. But as she introduces a new fuel-saving business venture to East Lansing, it's time to put them to work. Adams, a general business administration and pre-law senior, will begin to market and sell fuel conditioners out of her East Lansing apartment, targeting MSU students, faculty and staff, she said. Advertised as gasoline saving and environmentally conscious, the fuel conditioners are ceramic magnets that attach to the fuel line on cars, trucks and boats - basically anything that burns gas, Adams said. After hearing students complain about high gas prices keeping them from traveling on Labor Day weekend, she talked with her father about franchising his distribution business of Magnon Energy Group Inc. products into East Lansing. She has about 50 units for sale in her apartment, each about $100. "I heard how discouraged (students) were, how they couldn't go anywhere for Labor Day weekend," Adams said.
It's now the middle of September and the theater scene is going into full effect. It's time to go and see a play. It seems that many of the play companies in greater Lansing have chosen comedies this month.

All the programs that once were housed in the College of Human Ecology have been moved to other colleges and are getting settled, except for apparel and textile design, which hasn't yet been redistributed. Meanwhile, plans and a curriculum for developing a residential college in the arts and humanities are still being worked out as details go through the Academic Governance system. Updates on both of these changing areas at MSU will be presented by Provost Kim Wilcox at the MSU Board of Trustees meeting Friday. "All have been relocated except for one academic program," said June Youatt, assistant provost for undergraduate education and dean of undergraduate studies.
From keeping watch so Wolverines don't paint it maize and blue to moving it indoors and building a new one outside, the MSU community is protective of the Spartan statue - a university symbol for 60 years. The original terra cotta statue was recently moved into the new Spartan Stadium addition, which left some fans wondering how accessible the familiar landmark will be. The statue's new home is in a lobby that serves as a gateway to the new reserved area for club-seat and suite ticket holders, as well as the media, on home football Saturdays. Access is restricted for about five hours each game day, but there are opportunities before and after games for the public to see the statue, said Greg Ianni, senior associate director of athletics.
Friday's MSU Board of Trustees meeting could result in the approval of a new parking lot in protected campus green space.

The MSU men's soccer team's freshman class is making an immediate impact, and players and coaches say Louis Stephens, Josh Rogers and Zac Scaffidi have been the standouts. Head coach Joe Baum said he likes how the freshmen have been able to contribute goals and minutes to the team at the beginning of the season "They haven't been lighting it up, but they have been holding their own and that's what we ask of them," Baum said.
Almost every party has a keg. Or maybe the hosts have tried to accommodate others by serving jungle juice instead.
Michigan State University: An institution devoted to quality higher education, expanding opportunities, and promoting cultural, economic and geographic diversity for all its students. Wait, what was that last part?
The Opinion Page may not be the best place for theological discussion but for as much as John Bice has made it so, I will participate. I commend Mr. Bice for addressing some questions that I would estimate most Christians these days (to our shame) would be hard pressed to clearly articulate an answer for, namely: "Which laws in the Bible apply to us today, what about those Old Testament laws?
A new study being conducted at Purdue University shows that people who listen to loud music on headphones might be damaging their hearing. Robert Novak, director of clinical education in audiology at Purdue University said they are researching the sound levels produced by iPod and MP3 music players at their clinic.
