The Taco Bell on Grand River Avenue might be getting a new neighbor - an updated building design for the Bailey Street site was discussed Wednesday at East Lansing's planning commission meeting. "We have unit designs that are not found in this rental area," said David Krause, one of the plan's developers. Corey Partnership, the project's developer, had similar plans for the same area turned down by the East Lansing City Council last November.

Due to a misunderstanding between ASMSU and its constituents, more than 50 minority students protested against the student government Wednesday night. Students held signs that read "What would 'U' know about being a Minority," "No Taxation without Representation." Minority student groups from across campus decided to protest after several students received an e-mail from a Student Assembly representative that stated ASMSU officials were in the process of changing the group's constitution and were discussing removing minority representatives from the assembly. Last semester, ASMSU discussed combining its Student and Academic assemblies to form one governing body - or a unicameral system. Currently, the group runs on a bicameral system where the Student Assembly oversees student life issues, while the Academic Assembly discusses academic issues such as course structures and faculty issues. During last semester's discussion, Brian Forest, a College of Arts & Letters representative, drafted a new constitution to make the assembly unicameral.
I am writing in response to Ms. Laura McIntosh ("Reader responds to arguments on rock" SN 1/26) and to attempt to put this logically.
Hold your breath. If the events of the last few days are a prelude to what is coming, Sunday's election in Iraq could be violent and disastrous. Just days before Iraqis are set to cast their ballots and voice their opinions, the U.S.
Senior guard Chris Hill held his hands high in the air a little past midcourt - the same spot he threw a lob pass that sailed over several Michigan defenders and into junior guard Maurice Ager's hands for a high flying dunk with more than six minutes left. It was another moment on the highlight reel for MSU's senior class, winning 64-53 against the Wolverines.
Down 7-0 within the first few minutes of the game, the No. 15 MSU men's basketball team quickly fought back and never let Michigan regain the lead in a sloppy 64-53 win Thursday night at a packed and boisterous Breslin Center. The Spartans committed 17 turnovers in the game, a figure that had head coach Tom Izzo scratching his head. "We're getting down to crunch time here," Izzo said.
Who would've thought something from Ann Arbor would be so tasty? Bubble Island, 515 E. Grand River Ave., is the concept of two University of Michigan grads who first opened shop in the scary town 60 miles south. Don't shoot the messenger.
Roberta Otten-Mason wrestles against an African river's powerful under-current. Struggling to reach the light that shines over the river, smothering the darkness where she is trapped, Otten-Mason fights to reach the air above.
As the debate over a proposed open-alcohol ban on campus rages, East Lansing officials are looking at its potential impact on the city. At a work session this week, East Lansing City Council members discussed different ways they could notify university officials of their opinion on the ban. "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. As it stands now, it's unlawful to walk in East Lansing while drinking from an open container, but it's legal to do so on campus.
Junior forward David Booth picked up flu-like symptoms on a road trip to Miami (Ohio) earlier in the month and sat out the series against Western Michigan due to his illness.
The No. 11 MSU women's basketball team had little trouble keeping their home record perfect as the Spartans made it 9-0 at home after beating Purdue, 71-58. The Spartans (17-3 overall, 6-2 Big Ten) got big contributions from all five of their starters, being led by senior center Kelli Roehrig, who had 20 points and junior forward Liz Shimek, who picked up a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. "Kelli was very strong and solid on the inside tonight," MSU head coach Joanne P.
In response to the studies presented this week on the positive effects of the tailgating restrictions ("Tailgate trash" SN 1/25), I fear there may be negative effects that are not being studied.
I have been a season ticket holder for MSU basketball for 27 years and have watched the evolution of the Izzone from a fanatic group of supporters to what it is now. When the Izzone first appeared, it was spontaneous, boisterous, exuberant, frenetic, LOUD and timely.
The former high school football coach of a player MSU briefly recruited in 1999-2000 told a federal jury Tuesday that MSU was among five schools that offered him money to convince the recruit to come to its school. Lynn Lang, the former head coach at Trezevant High School in Memphis, Tenn., listed MSU along with Tennessee, Mississippi, Memphis and Arkansas as universities that offered money for Albert Means, but never paid.

For one MSU student, the upcoming Iraqi election will prove his home country is moving forward. Faisal Hamadi, a 20-year-old Iraqi citizen and finance sophomore will join Iraqis around the United States, and the world, in Iraq's first democratic election on Sunday. "This shows Iraq that we've begun," Hamadi said.
If senior guard Kelvin Torbert has to pick one game to win all year, it'd be against Michigan. Sure, he wants to beat No.
