The idea of sharing and downloading music in 1995 was unheard of. In 2025, however, file sharing, particularly that of Napster, has almost destroyed the record industry, so the band Metallica sends a machine back to 1995 to kill the fictitious creator of Napster, Don O'Conner.

This was no marathon, but the first round of the Big Ten Tournament for the No. 4 seed MSU baseball team coasted at a slow pace Wednesday afternoon.
Lansing- A 10:35 a.m. start time is difficult for any baseball player, but an early game following a 3 1/2 hour, 11-inning game the night before would cause any team to get off to a sluggish start. That's exactly what happened Wednesday morning as the Lansing Lugnuts struggled to find any hits for the first four innings, before the Lugnuts rediscovered their bats to pull out a 3-1 win over the West Michigan Whitecaps. "It's a little hard to get up in the morning and it took a few innings for us to wake up," Lansing left fielder Kevin Collins said. Neither team came close to scoring early.
MSU officials and faculty are at odds over suggested qualifications for MSU's next president, which have been endorsed by two groups of university employees.

Lansing - After facing major league pitchers in back-to-back games, the West Michigan Whitecaps seemed relieved to be able to face one of the regular Lansing Lugnuts starters. Even without one of their strongest hitters Thursday night (shortstop Tony Giarratano who was moved up to the Tigers' High A club in Lakeland today), West Michigan (18-28) garnered just enough hits to put the Lugnuts away, 3-2. West Michigan pitcher Andy Baldwin (6-3) almost pulled off the complete game, pitching eight innings.
Focused on supporting the well-being of children and families, the Families and Communities Together Coalition (FACT) at MSU is granting $160,000 to four research projects dedicated to preventing overweight children, domestic violence, sexual harassment of high school students and literacy about genetics research.

In his fourth floor Agriculture Hall office, Joe Levine is surrounded by souvenirs. Some he has collected over the years on various travels, like the puppets and books from Indonesia and the lamp with the clarinet base he made himself after spending a summer as a clarinet student at the Interlochen Arts Camp. Most of them, though, are from former colleagues and students who have traveled abroad and returned with a gift-a testament to the legacy that Levine has left on their lives.

Lansing- To have a major- league pitcher make an appearance for a Class A ball club is a rare occurrence, but it is almost unheard of to have two in the same week.
