Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Matthias Askew and former MSU Spartan spoke with The State News on Thursday about Saturday's big game against Michigan.
International Studies and Programs Dean John Hudzik has been selected to the position of acting provost, pending the MSU Board of Trustees' approval.
I am not surprised The State News is using complete propaganda to endorse Sen. John Kerry. "Kerry will have an easier time gaining the international troop support needed to get Iraq up and running on a level the current 'coalition' cannot provide." Where is this coming from?
We at The State News have received a lot of feedback regarding our Oct. 27 editorial endorsement of Democratic Sen.
Showing Spartans spirit comes at a price - at least when it comes to this weekend's football game. Eager students and fans have put their money where their collegiate alliances lie by purchasing tickets - drastically ranging in price - for the MSU/Michigan game on Saturday. Tickets for the sold-out event have been gobbled up by hungry fans.
I just read Jon Gunnells' "Demand better from fast-food advertisers" (SN 10/26) and I can honestly say - brilliance.
Did you hear? Michigan doesn't consider MSU a big rival in football, at least not to the degree of Ohio State.
And then there were two. The State News is endorsing two candidates for the two open positions on the MSU Board of Trustees.
It was only three years ago that the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon were attacked claiming thousands of lives.
When MSU sophomore quarterback Drew Stanton approaches the line of scrimmage for the offense's first play against Michigan, there will be a 6-foot-4, 333-pound rock-of-a-man waiting in the trenches to make his day miserable. The Wolverines' Gabe Watson is more than the hulking defensive tackle at the center of U-M's imposing defense.
You know the scene at the end of the movie "8 Mile" where Eminem wins the final freestyle rap battle because he knows everything the other guy is going to make fun of him for? That's what I feel like every time this U-M-MSU game rolls around. Every single year, you Sparties roll back your sleeves and bust out your best Michigan insults.
No. 17 Purdue vs. Northwestern Purdue (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) will look to snap a tough-luck two-game losing streak when the team travels to Evanston to face Northwestern (3-4, 2-2). The Boilermakers are coming off two tough losses to No.
Some state officials say Michigan House Republicans face an uphill battle in the race for seats, while political analysts say the close presidential race will leave the local power balance intact. All 110 spots in the House are up for grabs this year, and incumbent representatives are being booted out in 37 districts because of 6-year term limits introduced in 1992. The House is made up of 63 Republicans and 47 Democrats.
Audience members and performers laughed, clapped their hands and threw fists in the air while celebrating the 32nd Annual Black Power Rally, but the message of the rally was a serious one. "Stop Pimpin' Hip Hop: The Revolution Will Not Be Commercialized" was the theme of this year's rally, and honored hip-hop while critically examining its exploitation. About 600 people gathered in the Pasant Theatre on Thursday night for the Black Student Alliance-coordinated event. Performances included a collection of theatrical skits, dancing by Urban Dreams, spoken poetry by Black Poets Society members, and the hip-hop and poetry of Detroit-based 3rd Eye Open, The Illiance and DefNok Entertainment.
By the time the catchy opening riff of "What'd I Say" beats through the theater and a set of fingers fly across the keyboard, the audience is already sold on "Ray." This is going to be an amazing film - the crowd can tell.
Just off of Interstate 96, marking the halfway point between perhaps the state's biggest rivals, there is the little town of Fowlerville. On the south-bound side is a small restaurant and gas station that houses the intense conflict between MSU and the University of Michigan. The entrance of the Fowlerville Farms Family Restaurant leads into a large gift shop, which takes up more than a third of the building.
Some might call Flatfoot's sophomore record a rock 'n' roll album. Some might call it a country bluegrass album.
The MSU volleyball team (8-11, 3-8 Big Ten) will have to bring its "A-game" to Jenison Field House at 7 p.m.
This was their season. On one play, No. 1 Michigan's national championship season was in the balance.
The Black Student Alliance's Black Power Rally tonight will help to educate students about what the term "black power" means, BSA members said. "I think if you understand history, the initial call for black power was a term African Americans began to use to express asserting their rights in the United States," said Lee June, vice president of Student Affairs and Services.
