Visually blinding, boring and truly a film for kids below the age of 5, "The Adventures of Shark Boy & Lava Girl in 3-D" should not have made the cut.
Amidst rising gas prices, gasoline might have competition in the future - from sources such as electricity or alcohol.
Your editorial expressing your outrage at the recent 6-3 U.S. Supreme Court decision to allow the prosecution of medical marijuana was way over the top ("Weeded out" SN 6/7). I just wonder why you didn't list the three dissenting judges - or would that have interrupted your anti-Bush tirade?
I read the editorial about the U.S. Supreme Court ruling to allow prosecution of people using medicinal marijuana ("Weeded out" SN 6/7). I was surprised to read so many illogical thoughts coming from people who are supposed to be in an institution of higher learning.

When Jeff Burdick and his friends found themselves without tickets to the MSU versus the University of Michigan football game two years ago, they decided to stay in and watch the action on TV. As they searched for the channel it was expected to be on, ESPN 2, Burdick, a recent graduate, said it was nowhere to be found on the campus cable lineup. "We had to completely miss the game," he said. Responses like Burdick's helped University Housing in the decision to add two new channels, ESPN 2 and Fox News, to the "U Tube" cable television system.
In 1990, MSU honored Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe with an honorary Doctorate of Laws degree when he spoke at the university's commencement ceremony. At the time, he deserved the award. He was viewed as a hero and a great revolutionary leader, according to Bill Fletcher Jr., president of the TransAfrica Forum.
With only seven games left before the end of the first half of the season, the Lansing Lugnuts needed all the wins they could get - and they got one Sunday against the Dayton Dragons, winning 7-2. "Hopefully we can get things put together and try to get more wins than the team we're chasing," Lugnuts' manager Ken Joyce said. The Lugnuts (33-29) started the day one game behind the Fort Wayne Wizards for the final playoff spot in the East Division.
As state legislators enter the last stages of finalizing a higher education budget for the 2005-06 academic school year of Michigan's 15 public universities, MSU alumni are petitioning in hopes to reverse continued cuts to higher education. Last week, the MSU Spartan Advocates and MSU Alumni Association launched an online petition to legislators and Gov.
The Cedar Village overhaul is still in its beginning stages and officials from surrounding communities now have the opportunity to put their concerns in writing. East Lansing planning and zoning administrator Bob Owen said state law requires East Lansing to send the East Village plan to its neighbors for feedback. "They may or may not comment," he said, adding that some cities, such as Lansing, will not be affected by the plan, thus officials in the city could have little to say. Owen, however, said places such as Meridian Township might have concerns because of its proximity to East Lansing city limits. "They could be concerned about how the plan affects traffic along Grand River," he said. The cities and townships of Ingham and Clinton counties have 90 days to put various concerns or compliments into writing to be directed to the East Lansing Planning Commission. The redeveloping of East Village involves tearing down several apartment complexes, rental homes and businesses in and around Cedar Village within a few years to be replaced with new businesses, student housing, condominiums and parks.

So I was pondering over column topics on a hot, muggy night not long ago. The budget resolution going through the Michigan legislature seemed like an appropriate topic, but a little boring.
At this year's National Athletic Trainers Association convention, June 12-16 in Indianapolis, MSU athletic trainers Dave Carrier and Dr. John Powell will receive the 2005 Most Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award. The award will be given to 18 trainers from across the country and is one of the NATA's highest honors. Carrier was just inducted into the Michigan Athletic Trainer's Hall of Fame on May 19 for his outstanding work as MSU Hockey's head trainer.
While I agree with The State News' editorial concerning the disservice the Supreme Court has done to the American people with the recent ruling on medicinal marijuana, I find his or her knowledge of the American judicial system to be laughable ("Weeded out" SN 6/7). Blaming President Bush and his "tyrannical reign" for the ruling is about as silly as a pro-lifer blaming former President Richard Nixon for the Supreme Court's ruling in Roe vs.
MSU senior Mike Palmer ended in 13th place in the pole vault at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, Calif., on Friday. Palmer struggled through the competition.
I read Drew Robert Winter's column regarding the use of stem cells in biological research ("Bush's stance on stem cell research illustrates backward mentality" SN 6/6). It seems that the people of Winter's frame of mind are not seeing part of the larger picture.
A federal lawsuit seeks to strike down Michigan's constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, saying that it violates the U.S.
The Michigan Senate will be reviewing the proposed state budget changes, which include about a $4 million increase in revenue sharing, after it was approved Thursday by the House of Representatives. The House Republicans proposed a budget in a bill that combined 15 different budget ideas into one.
