Beginning in the spring semester of 2005, the university will award scholarships to student activists who work with issues relevant to students of color who are also a part of the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community.

The unexpectedly early transfer of power in Iraq has MSU officials, legislators and members of the Arab community saying much work still remains in making sure the country is politically and socially stable.

It's a great feat to create a film that satisfies both the mainstream viewers and the die-hard comic book fans who will stand in line to see "Spider-Man 2." It's also very difficult to do justice to Stan Lee's timeless classic comic book that shares the name.
