What has become of people today? It absolutely amazes me that people can be so offended by the slightest things these days.
America is in the midst of a "culture war." However, our myopic focus on peripheral issues such as abortion or gay rights masks the root cause of the conflict, which is fundamentalist Christianity. I doubt the real agenda fundamentalists have for our country would garner support from most Americans.
You could say corporation growth started back in the late 19th century. Andrew Carnegie took over the steel industry.
This is in response to "Sex education is job for parents" (SN 1/19). I was disappointed in the obvious narrow-minded view a fellow MSU student had in his comments about sex education in schools. I would agree that in an ideal world there would be no need for sex education in school - where parents would have the time, accurate knowledge and resources available to them to educate their kids themselves.

Blueprints for a new residential college in the liberal arts need to be ready for review by spring in order for the project to progress, university officials say. The college is set to open in 2007, but unless things get underway soon, the college will most likely not be completed on time. About a year after the idea for a new residential program surfaced, administrators and several members of the MSU Board of Trustees still don't have enough details to get the project off the ground. The college is planned to be similar to the existing Lyman Briggs School and James Madison College, but with a humanities focus. In order for construction to begin on the college, which will be housed in the soon-to-be renovated Snyder and Phillips halls, the trustees must review the plans and approve them. But details such as which students, faculty and staff will be involved, what the college's curriculum will be and how much it will cost have yet to be defined and won't be ready for board approval until April. Plans for the new college must be decided at the board's April meeting, otherwise the project might be delayed until next fall. Trustee Dee Cook said she wants the project to move even faster, hoping the board could finalize a decision by next month.

The 41st annual Diversity Career Fair offered an opportunity for employers and students to discuss the importance of diversity in the work place. The fair, held Thursday night at Kellogg Center, provided a forum for all students to network with representatives from 116 different government, profit and nonprofit organizations about job opportunities after graduation. Carol Stier, Office of Placement Services events manager, said events such as the Diversity Career Fair, formerly known as the Minority Career Fair, help both employers and employees celebrate their differences. "Achieving diversity is a big issue with organizations," Stier said.
Seven people were arrested on a weekday night for the same crime, said MSU police Sgt. Florene McGlothian-Taylor. The arrests were all made for marijuana possession on Wednesday night. Most of the cases will be sent to the Ingham County Prosecutor's office, where they will be reviewed and it will be decided if the cases go to court, McGlothian-Taylor said. She added that alcohol and marijuana are the most common drugs used by students. MSU Department of Police and Public Safety officers were dispatched to Wilson, Williams and Rather halls after receiving complaints that marijuana could be smelled outside the rooms, McGlothian-Taylor said. In all the incidences, officers smelled the marijuana upon arriving, she said.
Behind a hat trick from freshman forward Bryan Lerg, and 18 stops by sophomore goaltender Dominic Vicari, the MSU hockey team was able to blow out Lake Superior State University, 8-0, in Friday's contest at Munn Ice Arena. Lerg got the scoring going 5:27 into the game when he beat Laker goaltender Jeff Jakaitis, and MSU (13-11-1 overall, 8-9-0 CCHA) scored three more goals to end the first period with a 4-0 lead. Sophomore forward Drew Miller scored a power-play goal 13 seconds into the second period to deny any type of a Spartan letdown, and junior forward David Booth and Lerg added tallies, giving MSU a 7-0 lead heading into the final stanza. Lerg completed his first career hat trick when he popped in a rebound with less than four minutes remaining in the game, giving the Spartans an satisfying 8-0 win. "I have a smile on my face," Lerg said of his hat trick.
Back with another round of picks from our fearless prognosticators. Last week, The Boss went 0-3 (yikes), and BC went 1-2 (eh) - I think my mom could have done better than that boys.

So there has been some disappointment looming over East Lansing due to the loss to Wisconsin. But, you need not look far for answers if you are die-hard Spartans fan.
The goal remains simple for the MSU hockey team - win three out of every four games the remainder of the regular season. After a split last weekend with Western Michigan, the Spartans (12-11-1 overall, 7-9-0 CCHA) will be forced to win both games this weekend, when they welcome Lake Superior for a two-game series at Munn Ice Arena, in order to accomplish their goal. "We know we have to win every game at home," MSU head coach Rick Comley said. "It's plain and simple and none of them are going to be easy.
