There are a few recurring themes in former MSU President M. Peter McPherson's work - agriculture, land-grant universities, and national and international politics. McPherson, who stepped down from the top job at MSU in 2004 after 11 years, will renew his involvement with land-grant institutions when he takes over as president of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges, or NASULGC, in 2006. He has spent the past year working with the Partnership to Cut Hunger and Poverty in Africa, an organization he co-founded to encourage agriculture and rural development in African nations.

Kids do the darnedest things. Apparently, if they see their parents buying liquor and alcohol, when given a chance to go imaginary grocery shopping, they'll come back with a pack of Marlboros and some Colt 45. At least this is what a recently released study conducted by Dartmouth Medical College in New Hampshire says. The study found adolescent children whose parents drink and smoke were more likely to have children who emulate these behaviors. According to the study, children were 3.9 times as likely to buy cigarettes if their parents smoked and three times as likely to choose wine or beer if their parents drank alcohol at least once a month. Using dolls in a role-playing game with children 2 to 6 years old, the kids were asked to take the dolls shopping because there was no food in the dollhouse.
