Students interested in American Sign Language courses at MSU are encouraged to continue their studies - about five miles west of campus. Sign language courses are in high demand nationally, according to the Modern Language Association, or MLA, but many professors and students are saying MSU's courses are not enough and are too packed to accept all interested students.
Freshman guard Drew Neitzel will likely get his second career start 8 p.m. Wednesday against Ohio State, MSU head coach Tom Izzo said on Monday. Izzo benched senior guard Chris Hill, who has struggled shooting the ball for most of the Big Ten season, on Saturday when MSU (15-4 overall, 6-2 Big Ten) played at Iowa. "I don't think I'm going to change that yet," Izzo said.
The front door to Allison Oswald's apartment was fully closed, but the hallway outside echoed with her guests' clapping and peals of laughter on Thursday night. Inside, about 10 of Oswald's close friends and co-workers sat in her living room in a semicircle, munching on home-baked finger foods such as brownies and chip dip.
I am writing in response to the column, "Abortion has negative effects on mother and father, not just unborn" SN (2/3). In the article, Mark Myers addresses the "often overlooked" aspect of the impact that abortion has on women. The tone of revelation expressed in the article is appalling.
The MSU Women's Resource Center will present "My Collection of ___ Needs Help: Safeguarding Your Family Treasures" from 12-1 p.m.
After two big victories at home last week, the Spartans had their third player named Big Ten Player of the Week this season. Junior forward Liz Shimek was named Co-Player of the Week with Minnesota's Janel McCarville for her performances in the two wins against Northwestern and Illinois.

With funding from the Residence Halls Association and some technical know-how from MSU computer support staff, Case Hall is the first dorm on campus with a wireless Internet access point. Last year, RHA budgeted $5,000 toward the installation of wireless access points in five residential areas on campus, including Case.
Last month, seven people on campus were arrested in one night for using marijuana, and campus, city and county officials say they worry the drug is becoming socially accepted among young people. "I have no problem with it," said microbiology junior Valerie Keefe.
In the article entitled "ASMSU votes to raise student taxes by $3" (SN 2/4), Mr. Hughes made it appear as though the tax increase is to fund scholarships solely as an ASMSU publicity stunt. Mr. Hughes did not mention that the goal of the entire tax increase is to help out the students who have financial need.
Noise violations aimed at students, raising parking rates and removing student housing in favor of condos - wow, I feel loved in the city of East Lansing.
Focusing on the history of U.S. involvement in a global world, Richard J. Goldstone gave the keynote address during Monday's daylong international law symposium, "From Nuremberg to Abu Ghraib: The Relevance of International Criminal Law to the Global War on Terror." "The people in this country must realize that their best interest is in international relations," Goldstone said to a full crowd in the Castle Board room of the MSU College of Law. The conference, hosted by the Journal of International Law, featured speakers from around the world, including 2005 Nobel Peace Prize nominee Michael Scharf. Scharf, who was selected by the Bush Administration to train the judges for the trial of Saddam Hussein, told the group how he came to be chosen. "I wrote a paper about how the Iraqi tribunal would be criticized because it looked like a puppet court of the U.S.," Scharf said.
I see that The State News continues to print columns of crude hate toward Christians ("Despite popular belief, founding fathers were not all Christians" SN 2/7). It seems hypocritical that a newspaper - which claims to want tolerance and acceptance for the religious beliefs of others - seems set on printing an occasional column by Mr. Bice that almost invariably attacks a religion that many MSU students follow.
Whether you're into hip-hop, folk, jazz or rock, there's plenty of fresh ear candy out there to whet your musical palate.
Is Big Brother creeping into your home and pulling the cigarette from your mouth? It might seem like it with the recent anti-smoking policy enforcement of the Okemos-based Weyco Inc. The health care company fired four workers who refused to quit smoking. First Amendment senses tingling yet?
Reviewing Michigan's progress and setting goals for the economy and employment will be the topics of Gov.
Two student groups staged a sit-in protest Monday at the Administration Building in their latest attempt in a five-year campaign to encourage MSU to join a union for workers' rights. About 35 members from Students for Economic Justice, or SEJ, and Movimiento Estudiantil Xicano de Aztlan, or MEXA, sat in the lobby in front of administrators' offices and held signs that read "Justicia Ahora", or "Justice Now," and "No Justice, No Peace, Join the WRC!" "We want the university to take some responsibility for workers' rights," SEJ member and international relations sophomore Maggie Corser said as she made signs before the protest. "We want to send a clear message to the administration that there is a lot of student support for the (Worker Rights Consortium)." The WRC is a monitoring body that investigates the labor conditions under which university clothing is made.
A plan to construct a hotel in the redevelopment of the East Village is among many ideas being tossed around by city officials and the project's potential developers. Proposals submitted by four developers were discussed during a meeting last week, but a final decision was not rendered. The East Village area is bounded on the west and east by Bogue Street and Hagadorn Road, and on the north and south by Grand River Avenue and the Red Cedar River.
By Daniel Thai Special for The State News On Saturday night, munchkins marched to the beat of Pink Floyd. More than 500 students came to the International Center as the sounds of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" meshed with the sights of Victor Fleming's "The Wizard of Oz" to create the "Dark Side of the Rainbow." Urban legends have been floating around for years about the coincidental occurrences of events when the album and movie are played simultaneously.
I am writing in response to Mark Myers' column "Abortion has negative effects on mother and father, not just unborn" (SN 2/3). Myers' basic premise is a sound one - abortion does affect the mother and father of the fetus, as well as other family members and friends.
