Paper should offer advice with opinion
I'm a graduate student here at MSU. I have plenty going on in my life. However your editorial on global warming caught my attention ("Global warning" SN 1/25).

Public vote outlook unsure
For the first time in nearly half a century, Iraqis all over the world will participate this weekend in free, multi-party elections to choose leaders for a national assembly. It has been nearly two years since the United States led the invasion and occupation of Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power, and preparing for the elections has taken almost as long. But violence by insurgents remains high in many regions of Iraq, causing much fear that election day will be bloody, and raising skepticism that voting won't be fair throughout the still-war-torn nation. An estimated 7 million ballots will be cast by Iraqi citizens worldwide.

MSU plays nonleague tilt
It's something that is recently becoming a trend in college basketball. More and more often, teams are scheduling nonconference games in the middle of the conference schedule. This is the case for two Big Ten teams this week, Purdue and MSU, who have scheduled nonconference opponents in the middle of the Big Ten season. "We need to keep playing," Purdue head coach Gene Keady said. The plan backfired for the Boilermakers, who were dropped by a tough Wisconsin-Milwaukee team 73-68 on Wednesday night at home. MSU will play a nonconference game in the middle of its conference schedule Saturday against Oakland for the first time since the 2002-03 season, when they lost 76-75 to Syracuse. MSU head coach Tom Izzo said that ESPN moved Thursday's game against Michigan from Wednesday to Thursday, and the game against Illinois from Wednesday back to Tuesday, which created a schedule of three games in six days. "I had to do something to have a Saturday game here, and look what happened: They shrunk me on both sides," Izzo said. "The only thing that made it worse was after we did it, they moved the Wednesday game to Thursday and the Wednesday game to Tuesday.
