I am writing in response to Lindsey Anderson's column "Thank you, supporters of President Bush, for four years of tyranny" (SN 11/16). I will not even begin to debate you on the issues you brought up.
Chairman David Porteous has a legitimate concern that qualified Board of Trustee candidates are sometimes not elected because they are unable to campaign statewide.
Chios owner Rocio Patel said she wanted to infuse ethnicity and culture into both her merchandise and the store's atmosphere. A native of Costa Rica, Patel said she hoped to show people something different by selecting and handcrafting some of the jewelry, gifts and fabrics.

About 100 angry and confused protesters stood on the steps of the Capitol on Wednesday night with signs that read "What is wrong with wanting equality," and "How many people have to die for us to have equal rights." The event was a demonstration by protesters voicing their disapproval of the passing of Proposal 2, which will amend the state constitution to define the union between one man and one woman as the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union. The protest was organized by Rally for Equality, a group of Haslett High School students who said they want equality for everyone. "People should be free to make their own choices," said Haslett High School sophomore Ashley Nalett, the organizer of the event.

Ten years ago, victims of domestic violence only had the End Violent Encounters shelter in Lansing to go to for safety, but that changed when MSU first lady Joanne McPherson helped create MSU Safe Place. The MSU community shelter is celebrating 10 years of expansion, outreach and intervention.
The College of Human Medicine will host a conference focused on medicine and spirituality today from 9 a.m.
A good time. It's all that matters. Gay, straight, transgender - whatever, as long as people are at gay bars and clubs in the Lansing area for the purpose of having a good time, then all are welcome. There are four "gay bars" in the Lansing area, but they are not strictly gay.
"After the Sunset" teased us with previews that showed an edgy, seductive crime caper. We thought it was a film about a former jewel thief played by Pierce Brosnan who retires to the Bahamas with his lovely accomplice, Salma Hayek. We were promised suntans, steamy dancing and serious diamond burglary.
String quartets are infamous for playing classical music. But tonight at Wharton Center, a four piece group straight out of New York will break the barrier of music genres with cellos, violas and violins - and they won't play the average Bach.
The East Lansing City Council shut out local developer Corey Partnership on Tuesday from refurbishing its own vacant building on the corner of Bailey Street and Grand River Avenue into apartments and condos.
Nicolette Sheridan has every right to be upset about ABC's apology for running an allegedly racy introduction to "Monday Night Football." One of Janet Jackson's breasts was worth $550,000 - presumably more than a cool $1 million for the pair - but Sheridan's bare back could only be worth $32,500, max. In what can only be considered an attempt at inflicting pre-color "Pleasantville" morals on America, the Federal Communications Commission has again declared indecency where there is none to be found.
Hey, American Dream-totin', rigid-as-hell parents - listen up. Same to you, money-calculatin', class-resentin' college students who have been filled up with the "get a good money job" mantra by the first group. You're missing the ball if you don't care for the value of liberal education.
Lawrence Antrim has been homeless for 10 months, a situation the one-time restaurant manager with a master's degree had not anticipated. Antrim, a Ball State University graduate, once worked in a four-star restaurant and was a partner in another restaurant, but now waits in line at homeless shelters for his meals. The 54-year-old Lansing resident said his experience has changed his perspective on homeless people.
Faculty members said they were pleased with the role they played in forming the plan for liberal arts reorganization, and they want to make sure they are still involved in the implementation of any changes.

An instantaneous smile lit up Natalie Alvarado's face as MSU men's basketball senior guard Chris Hill plopped candy into the 7-year-old's hand. Not only did Alvarado, who was dressed as a Spartans cheerleader, get another piece of candy to add to her growing collection, but she met an MSU athlete. For Hill, however, the opportunity to be out in the community trick-or-treating with children was much more rewarding.
Bridget Jones, the endearingly flawed singleton, captured our adoration on both page and screen more than three years ago.
I stepped onto the digitized soils of "Halo 2," a virgin to the game series. During my sophomore year (I am now a senior), I can recall being kept up to unholy hours by the shouts of fellow Mayo Hall residents playing "Halo: Combat Evolved," the game's predecessor.
