The total disrespect with which bicyclers here at MSU are treated is appalling. I can accept the fact that we are not wanted on the roads by drivers or the sidewalks by walkers, but we have to go somewhere.
Southgate - Two-year-old Sajid Al-Ghazaly toddled across the concrete floor of the makeshift polling site just south of Detroit on Saturday, tripping on his traditional Iraqi attire.
Students aren't the only ones who use Weblogs anymore. University administrators are jumping on board. MSU President Lou Anna Simon created a blog on her university Web page, which will allow her to communicate with students and the rest of the MSU community and allow for feedback via e-mail. Simon said her blog will be updated frequently, discussing issues that affect the university community.

Down 7-0 within the first few minutes of the game, the No. 15 MSU men's basketball team quickly fought back and never let Michigan regain the lead in a sloppy 64-53 win Thursday night at a packed and boisterous Breslin Center. The Spartans committed 17 turnovers in the game, a figure that had head coach Tom Izzo scratching his head. "We're getting down to crunch time here," Izzo said.
Senior guard Chris Hill held his hands high in the air a little past midcourt - the same spot he threw a lob pass that sailed over several Michigan defenders and into junior guard Maurice Ager's hands for a high flying dunk with more than six minutes left. It was another moment on the highlight reel for MSU's senior class, winning 64-53 against the Wolverines.
Hold your breath. If the events of the last few days are a prelude to what is coming, Sunday's election in Iraq could be violent and disastrous. Just days before Iraqis are set to cast their ballots and voice their opinions, the U.S.
I am writing in response to Ms. Laura McIntosh ("Reader responds to arguments on rock" SN 1/26) and to attempt to put this logically.
Due to a misunderstanding between ASMSU and its constituents, more than 50 minority students protested against the student government Wednesday night. Students held signs that read "What would 'U' know about being a Minority," "No Taxation without Representation." Minority student groups from across campus decided to protest after several students received an e-mail from a Student Assembly representative that stated ASMSU officials were in the process of changing the group's constitution and were discussing removing minority representatives from the assembly. Last semester, ASMSU discussed combining its Student and Academic assemblies to form one governing body - or a unicameral system. Currently, the group runs on a bicameral system where the Student Assembly oversees student life issues, while the Academic Assembly discusses academic issues such as course structures and faculty issues. During last semester's discussion, Brian Forest, a College of Arts & Letters representative, drafted a new constitution to make the assembly unicameral.

The Taco Bell on Grand River Avenue might be getting a new neighbor - an updated building design for the Bailey Street site was discussed Wednesday at East Lansing's planning commission meeting. "We have unit designs that are not found in this rental area," said David Krause, one of the plan's developers. Corey Partnership, the project's developer, had similar plans for the same area turned down by the East Lansing City Council last November.
The real-life experience of a roaring crowd, green-and-white cheers, combined with displays of sheer athleticism are elements each fan looks forward to at the MSU men's basketball games.

If the No. 11 MSU women's basketball team expects to go anywhere in the NCAA Tournament, it has to learn how to win the big games on the road. With an 8-0 record at Breslin Center, the team has proven it can win at home.
"House of Flying Daggers" is a must-see film that has somehow disappeared from local public radar underneath the corpulent folds of big budget American cinema. This is China's official selection for an Oscar in the foreign language film category, and it's no mystery why - "House of Flying Daggers," by "Hero" Director Yimou Zhang, has all the dramatic elements needed to make it an instant classic. The story takes place in A.D.
In reply to the letter "Izzone members should accept rules" (SN 1/26), I would like to make an obvious truth known.
ASMSU officials called a emergency full-assembly meeting Thursday night to take a stance on the proposed open-alcohol ban. A bill presented by Policy Committee Chairperson Michael Susner stated ASMSU opposes the proposed change in the university's open-container ordinance. Student Assembly Chairperson Andrew Schepers said the bill represents the beliefs of the students and this was the most effective stance to take on the issue. "The reasons for the ban don't reflect the true reason why it has been brought forth," he said.
It was a mid-season deja-vu for the Spartans when they met the U.S. National Under-18 Team in exhibition play Friday night at Munn Ice Arena. The Spartans registered 49 shots on net to USA\'s 23, and lost 4-3, further demonstrating the frustration MSU (13-11-2 overall, 8-9-1 CCHA) has dealt with all season long. USA forward Jack Skille scored 9:22 into the game, beating MSU sophomore goaltender Dominic Vicari on a slapshot from the point.
