Izzone complaints not worth printing
I see that your editorial board has taken up the noble cause of disparaging the Student Alumni Foundation's effort to create the premier student basketball section in the country ("Frazzled fans" SN 1/31). The State News never seems to fail - be it in politics, campus life, and now sports - to speak on behalf of those Mike Tierney so rightly termed "whiners." Your obsession with viewing yourselves as the vanguard of the students has led you to devote pages of misleading, disingenuous and biased coverage to the complaints of a handful of students who couldn't be bothered to wear a T-shirt when they signed a contract saying they would.

Supplements help many people daily
I was shocked at your editorial on the upcoming possible supplement restrictions ("Pill prohibition" SN 1/27). It seems that you haven't done very much research on supplements and the millions of people who benefit from their use.

Lawmakers propose medicine restrictions
Last week, Christina Kim headed to the aisles of CVS Pharmacy, 240 MAC Ave., when her roommate needed cold medicine. But if some legislators have their way, the advertising sophomore might have to show identification to a licensed pharmacist if she wants to buy cold remedies in the future. As part of a bipartisan push to fight small methamphetamine labs popping up around the country, legislators want over-the-counter medicines to be sold behind pharmacy counters, and not in gas stations or grocery stores. "Currently, meth manufacturers go to grocery stores and pharmacies and buy out their entire supply," said Scott Gerber, spokesman for Sen.

Olivia The Band album bottoms out with atrocious mainstream sound
On the back cover of Olivia The Band's self-titled debut release, the four perfectly tanned band members flash pearly smiles while the sun glints serenely off the ocean behind them. It's an image that's just as cheesy and unoriginal as the music within. Hailing from the sunny shores of Oahu, Hawaii, Olivia The Band is more than just your average, run-of-the-mill, sell-out, wannabe-punk, pop group.

ASMSU approves urination bill
ASMSU officials passed a bill last week supporting the university's proposal to ban public urination on campus. Paul Harmon, ASMSU association director, said the group supports the proposal because people should not be urinating on campus. "As long as the university makes facilities available for people to use, I don't see why we wouldn't support something that protects the image of MSU," he said. Internal Vice Chairperson of Student Assembly Patricia Smith said the ordinance could improve MSU's image during tailgating season.

Antic musical dazzles
Riverwalk Theatre's new musical has every lure cast to catch an audience. "Flipaswitch," the musical that tackles seduction, true love, morality and scandals, combines "The Full Monty"-type humor with classical settings and the musical talent of shows such as "The Music Man," to create an enjoyable and captivating musical. Set during the Great Depression, the show's premise revolves around a hapless group of mostly middle-aged strippers, a luckless comic and their manager. The party, complete with a ditz, a cynic and an innocent, is stranded because of money problems in Flipaswitch, Tenn.
