"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.

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.

As the debate over a proposed open-alcohol ban on campus continues, East Lansing officials are looking into its potential impact on the city. Since East Lansing has laws in place to prevent residents from drinking openly on city streets, most City Council members are in favor of the university adopting a similar policy. "We are in favor of it because that would put the people on the university's property under the same laws and regulations when they come across Grand River (Avenue)," Councilmember Bill Sharp said. Sharp cited complications with the differing laws between the campus and city as a main factor in his support of the ban. MSU is the only Big Ten university that allows open alcohol on campus and the policy change would bring the university in line with East Lansing and other cities and campuses. "It seems kind of unfair that a person can walk around campus with open alcohol and then step across Grand River (Avenue) and get arrested," Sharp said. The proposed alcohol ban would make it illegal to drink in public areas on campus, except for designated areas for tailgating and other special occasions.
