I am very disheartened by the way the article on Bill Ayers, former member of the Weatherman, was presented in Tuesday's edition of The State News ("Visit by former member of 1970s radical group causes stir" SN 2/22). The bold quote and front page header, "Students shouldn't look up to people who bombed the Pentagon," was an uneducated and misleading statement.
About 10 MSU students joined a group of 13 Michigan colleges to meet with state government officials on Tuesday to express their concerns and learn about the legislative process. The Michigan Campus Compact hosted the second annual "Day at the State Capitol," along with Sen.
Two years is a pretty long time for any music act to take a break from playing gigs. Especially when that act is local, unsigned and self-supportive.
If sitcoms on television have taught viewers one thing, it's that everyone knows how to play poker. The stereotypes of who's sitting at the table are all there.
I am writing in response to Amy Loula's letter "Students need to heed smoking rules" (SN 2/21). As a smoker who takes great care to avoid asthmatic grandmas and toddling infants while enjoying my habit, I feel sympathy toward Ms. Loula's plight.

ASMSU members hope to give their offices a new "professional" look. Under the Student Assembly's push, ASMSU members will voluntarily paint the student government offices.
Eighth-grader Josh Fooy's reaction to the photograph of a Hindu woman and her jewelry was probably too crass, but at least he was honest. "She's pimpin'," the eighth-grader from Three Fires Middle School in Howell said, while quickly moving down the line of cultural exhibits in the MSU Museum's lower level. Fooy and 39 other students from the middle school came to the museum, located on West Circle Drive across from the Main Library, on Thursday afternoon as a reward for improving grades in their social studies class. School trips and classroom visits are commonplace at the MSU Museum, one of Michigan's pre-eminent natural history museums since its creation in 1857 by MSU's first president, Joseph R.

In response to "Peering into the future" (SN 2/16), fortune-telling and such are not science.
Some things are good to change regularly: passwords, cat litter, underwear. Others, such as the system of checks and balances within our state and national governments, tend to stay the same for a reason - they work. Rep.

Can you hear it? Slowly but surely the war drums are beating louder and louder. The Bush administration is once again steering America toward war.
Although Lansing and East Lansing populations dropped between the 1990 and 2000 censuses, both cities are now estimating a slight increase in their populations. A study recently released by the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments reported the population of Detroit has fallen below 900,000 people for the first time since 1920. Delores Muller, a senior planning analyst for the council, said people might be moving out of the city to find a better quality of life, but it is hard to pinpoint one direct cause. Jim van Ravensway, East Lansing's planning and community development director, said the city's population dropped from about 50,700 people in 1990 to 46,500 in 2000. "Since then, we have climbed back up to 47,300," he said. Lansing's Senior Planner John Hodges said he doesn't have exact estimates for Lansing, but has observed several new housing units that led him to believe the city population has slightly increased. However, numbers have not reached the levels they were at in 1990, and Lansing and East Lansing officials say this is affecting polices being put in place.

As a California resident and MSU graduate, I felt compelled to respond to Kristi Jourdan's column ("Mitten state does not deserve its redneck-riddled reputation" SN 2/18). I am not writing to further bash Michigan, but to clear up misconceptions Ms. Jourdan has about California.
Just because it's not the weekend yet doesn't mean you can't still rock out. There's plenty of live local music happening in the area this week to tide you over until Friday and Saturday night.
A novel created by an MSU professor in a private, secluded cabin and cancer research conducted in university labs, are no different as far as university administrators are concerned. As it stands, any work created by university professors is legal property of MSU. But this distinction could change after Academic Council votes today on a possible revision of MSU's copyright policy. The policy states that any research done by faculty is first owned by MSU, then ownership is assigned to the creator. MSU is the only research institution of its kind that has this type of copyright policy, said Sheila Teahan, associate English professor.
