When he was MSU's president from 1941 through 1969, John Hannah used to walk every morning from his home at Cowles House to Linton Hall office. Stopping to bow his hat or talk to almost every student along the way was important to the university's 12th president, his friend and colleague, Roger Wilkinson said. "He was very interested in the grounds - he loved the beauty of campus," said Wilkinson, who was a student during Hannah's presidency and the vice president of finance and operations during Hannah's last year as president.

Willingham learned all about that pressure the last two seasons.

Perceptions of terrorism threats run counter to the popular belief that presidential approval rises as threat levels rise, according to a recent study conducted by two MSU professors. Political science professors Darren Davis and Brian Silver studied whether fear makes a difference in how people vote by analyzing a series of national and state surveys conducted between November 2001 and June 2004. The surveys analyzed came from a variety of polling firms and news agencies, such as CBS News, the Pew Research Center and Michigan's State of the State Survey. People who think President Bush is winning the war on terrorism strongly support him, while those who are most fearful of a terrorist attack are more supportive of Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

Thirteen people in the crowd of about 35 requested permission to speak, but only nine of them actually provided public comments. Added to the list as an endangered species in 1974, the wolf fell under the jurisdiction of the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
