The MSU basketball team announced Wednesday afternoon that the Spartans received two National Letters of Intent from the 2005-06 recruiting class. Maurice Joseph, a 6-foot-4, 185-pound guard from Montreal, and Travis Walton, a 6-foot-2, 185-pound guard from Lima, Ohio, both signed letters of intent to play basketball for MSU head coach Tom Izzo next fall. "We're pleased," Izzo said.

Andréa Minella's letter, "Abortion cases not always clear issues" (SN 11/8) is nonfactual and an attempt at portraying those who oppose her view as being unsympathetic, specifically toward women. First of all, abortion is a very cruel means of ending a life.
Cameraless, filmless photography - an odd way to describe photographic work, but local artist Kim Kauffman has made this method her own. This way of photographic imaging could be compared to an extremely complicated photogram with a digital edge. The Mackerel Sky Gallery of Contemporary Craft, 217 Ann St., will exhibit Kauffman's innovative work, "Equipoise: creating a balance," until Nov.

I am writing in response to Chris Hansen's letter "Izzo's arrogance readily apparent" (SN 11/9). It became apparent to me when reading this letter that it is OK to be a supporter of the basketball team only when it is convenient. This should not be the case, and that was head coach Tom Izzo's message Sunday night.
Although Lansing accounts for a good portion of the increase in Michigan's minority population in the last census, that change isn't reflected in the local theater community. At least 36,000 minority members make up the nearly 120,000 people that live in Lansing. At MSU alone, minorities compose more than 16 percent of the nearly 45,000-student population. I wonder, then, why this diversity hasn't been at all mirrored on stage. This past season, there have been plays about all kinds of topics.

A mother has been grieving over her son's death for seven years. The seven years of grieving makes her grief look like a pointless obsession of a woman who has lost her mind. "The Women of Lockerbie," presented by the MSU Department of Theatre, revolves around a mother, Madeline Livingston, who lost her son in the crash of Pan Am flight 103. After all these years, she still wanders around a forest in Lockerbie, Scotland, where the crash took place, to find the debris of her son's body.
