But state officials plan to appeal the decision, which allows the votes to count when they're cast at the wrong precinct, as long as they're cast in the right city. Provisional ballots are used in instances where voters say they're registered but their names don't appear on the registration rolls.

It didn't have anything to do with clowns, but "A Thousand Clowns" received few laughs Saturday at Riverwalk Theatre, 228 Museum Drive in Lansing. The theater's second production for the season was somewhat entertaining, but all in all was an average play performed with average acting. The story stars Murray, an unemployed TV writer in New York City who has too much time on his hands.

Each new basketball season is an opportunity for unproven players - young and old - to rise up, play more minutes and have a greater impact. This season, sophomore power forward Delco Rowley and sophomore center Drew Naymick are prime candidates to fill that role in the Spartans' frontcourt. And with an eager, talented batch of freshmen big men new on campus this season, Rowley and Naymick must step up while the opening is there.

In the mid-'90s, the Mexican government wanted to take the coffee farmers' communal land and sell it to private oil and timber companies, but the farmers peacefully protested.
ASMSU officials said they are concerned with campus safety because of the recent sexual assaults on campus, so much so they wrote a bill to increase lighting and emergency phones on campus. The bill, written in the middle of its Student Assembly meeting Thursday, advocates for a safer campus and to support the Residence Halls Association's safety report issued last year.
