Students, former player watch as UConn takes title
Former MSU forward Al Anagonye has been to the Final Four - twice, to be exact. Oh yeah, he's been to the NCAA Championship, too, as a redshirt freshman in the Spartans' 2000 win over Florida, 89-76. Anagonye, who now plays professionally in Slovenia, returned to his college town during a 10-day break before his league's playoffs to enjoy the madness known as March that the 6-foot-8 forward knows so well. Among the hundreds in attendance at Buffalo Wild Wings, 360 Albert Ave., Anagonye sat with friends to enjoy the Connecticut-Georgia Tech national final, where UConn defeated Georgia Tech, 82-73.

Perez puts himself in the violent middle
I am writing in regard to your recent article on Michael Vicente Perez's experience in the West Bank ("Caught in the middle" SN 3/31). Personally, I would like to know how the Michigan Peace Team could be described as nonviolent or supporting "peace." To begin with, Perez states that he would "stay in the houses of families whose children had been suicide bombers and be there to hopefully prevent the house from being demolished." How exactly does protecting those who give aid and support to terrorists in any way bring "peace" to the Middle East?

ASMSU members reflect on year of work
Over the past year, ASMSU debated 83 bills, held 32 general meetings and spent almost 80 hours in deliberation. As 21 new members take office tonight, officials from MSU's undergraduate student government reflected on a session where few bills were passed, even fewer had a direct impact on students, and an Academic Assembly initiative to add candy to the business office was half-jokingly referred to as "the best thing we've done all year." Election confusion Officials attributed most of the session's troubles to an election debacle last spring in which more than 60 representatives were disqualified, leaving the assemblies with fewer than a dozen representatives on each, many of whom did not have previous ASMSU experience.
