The MSU men's tennis team won 4-3 against Purdue on Sunday afternoon, to improve MSU's overall record to 12-9 and 4-3 in the Big Ten. The Spartans recorded four singles victories, including wins by seniors Andrew Formanczyk and Cameron Marshall at No.
I am shocked at how completely ignorant students are here at MSU. Tell me, fellow Spartans, does "celebrating with class" include throwing glass bottles at police, torching couches and tearing down street signs?

It seems to me that the police were asking for students to congregate in the streets by erecting barricades throughout East Lansing.
After having read several stories about the actions taken by the East Lansing police, not all of which came from The State News, I have to make a comment.
Thirty-two MSU programs were ranked among the best in the nation in U.S. News & World Report's yearly evaluation of graduate programs. The elementary and secondary education programs ranked first in the nation for the 11th consecutive year.

"Faculty brings cutting-edge knowledge to the students," Book said.

Other MSU students arrested that night also could face academic punishment through the university's judicial system -?which could result in suspensions - although university officials said they are not taking action now.

As I ventured forth onto Grand River Avenue from my home on Stoddard Street following the basketball game on April 2, I knew that something terrible must have been happening.
Once again, the offense ran dry for the MSU softball team. After partaking in the fifth-longest game in MSU softball history, a 2-1, 13-inning win in the first game of the doubleheader, the Spartans left seven runners on base in the second game as they fell to Penn State, 3-1, Sunday afternoon at Old College Field. "That first game was really a doubleheader in itself," MSU head coach Jacquie Joseph said.

Right after his mother had been diagnosed with cancer, social science senior Steve Wolbert accidentally walked into a Relay for Life event. Five years later, he is helping prepare MSU's fifth Relay for Life event for the American Cancer Society, which will be held at Munn Ice Arena on Saturday and Sunday. For Wolbert, finding out about his mother was a huge blow, particularly because his uncle had recently died from cancer. "It was like, 'Wow, we have to go through this again,'" Wolbert said.
The April 2 melee most closely resembles the Stanford Prison Experiment, where after only two days, mentally stable college students became rioting prisoners and sadistic guards.
