I've been aware of the Michigan sex offender database for years, but like most people, I've never looked at it that closely.
Michael Sanford sat down in November with two other roommates in an apartment complex leasing office - in front of them sat an intimidating 38-page lease. Sanford said they didn't understand the legal jargon in the lease. The door to the office closed and six hours later, the three emerged, victorious - they had signed a lease for their first apartment. "It took so long because I wanted an understanding of the lease and the different fees and prices.
With her grandson by her side to interpret, Saliha Azizi made her way into Wharton Center on Monday to take the oath to become a United States citizen. Originally from Afghanistan, Azizi joined about 380 people from Michigan at the Swearing-In Ceremony of New Citizens.

Make sure if you live in the dorms to bring a fan. There isn't air conditioning in Mason, Abbot, Snyder and Phillips halls and keeping the window open doesn't help at all.
I wholeheartedly disagree with the complaint of the student who tried to "inform" the campus road biker about the traffic problem he was causing.
Once you're out of the dorms and cooking on your own, you're bound to have that one roommate who makes tofu pancakes or brussel sprout casserole and won't comply to the college-kid standard of Meijer-brand macaroni and cheese. Yet no matter how quirky your roommates' tastes are, everyone uses the same old stand-bys: Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, margarine, peanut butter, pickles, etc., etc., etc. Even the kid who only eats grilled cheese will need ketchup at some point.
Here's a partial list of apartments and houses still available for rent for next school year. Most leases start in August.
It might be Oscar season, but that doesn't mean you need to shell out $6.50 plus the cost of gas to see a great movie.
Ingham County MSU Extension will host the 2005 Corn and Soybean Day from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Ingham County Fairgrounds Community Building, 700 E.
Although some students signed leases for next school year as early as September or October of last year, there are still some out there who haven't found a place to stay for the fall. Oftentimes, the early-bird students, such as history sophomore Jen Stowell, prefer the perks of signing up early to the headaches that waiting until springtime can create. Stowell said she and her future roommate signed their lease early in the school year because that is when the most options are open. "We did it so we would have a lot of choices," Stowell said, adding that she also wanted to make sure to get a good location. Zoology junior Stacia Belda doesn't have a place lined up yet, but said she isn't feeling stressed. "I haven't really looked yet," said Belda, who put off her apartment search last year until March.
Yet again, student housing opportunities are being quelled by East Lansing officials. In the most recent case, a plan to construct five new apartment buildings on the 700 block of Burcham Drive was denied approval by the East Lansing Planning Commission. The proposition would keep students living closer to campus and eradicate the herding of cattle, err, the pushing of students, up to the Northern Tier.

He'd go back in an instant - that's how confident Joe Nelson is that American troops are making life better for Iraqis. "The way the people were treated was unacceptable," said Nelson, a Lansing resident who grew up in Williamston. He was deployed to Iraq in June 2003 and returned in May 2004.
Two MSU students are among the more than 700 illegal file sharers sued last month by the Recording Industry Association of America, or RIAA. MSU has yet to receive a subpoena, which forces university officials to turn over the names of the students who were logged onto the network using a computer Internet address suspected of illegally file sharing, said David Gift, vice provost for Libraries, Computing and Technology. This will be the third round of file sharing lawsuits filed against MSU students since May 2004, according to the MSU Office of the General Counsel. In the January lawsuits, 68 users of computer networks at 23 universities and colleges were sued.
I was very disheartened to read your editorial regarding North Korea ("Tact needed" SN 2/14). Its logic, as well as factual basis, is extremely flawed.
If you keep busy and are going to live off-campus, I have two words for you: Easy Mac. It's a whole different ballgame when you aren't living in the dorms anymore and can't just walk down the hall to your cafeteria, where endless amounts of prepared food await you.
