"Amityville Horror" character George Lutz made a mistake when he said "Houses don't kill people, people kill people." In this case, it's the other way around. After remaking "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," producer Michael Ray teamed up with director Andrew Douglas to produce another bone-chiller; "The Amityville Horror."

I am appalled at the way the MSU administration is handling the teaching assistants' contract, and this is the general sentiment throughout the MSU community.
The methods by which our nation's system of democracy functions have turned into a slick mud hole of deception. It seems like disputing the ballot process or - in the case of the latest issue with the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative - a signature-gathering technique is the best way to oust a rival who differs on an issue. History is repeating itself as the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, or MCRI, is being challenged by By Any Means Necessary, or BAMN, a political group dedicated to keeping affirmative action a part of the process in which university admissions and job hiring are decided.
I'm writing in response to "GEU members are fairly compensated" (SN 4/20). I'm just wondering - if I make such good money, why can't I pay my bills?

Maybe one of the reasons people tend to categorize theater as a "stuffy art" is because when they think of theater, they think of dolled-up, upper-class couples dressed in jewels attending the premiere of a complicated play.
