A recently passed law might have negative implications for the future of a woman's right to choose. President Bush signed a bill on Thursday that states it is a separate federal crime to harm or kill a fetus in the process of assaulting the mother.
Bryan Gale jogged out to the mound, reached down and picked up the rosin bag, adjusted his pants, fixed his cap and stared toward home plate. It was time. In the top of the fourth inning against Iowa on Friday, the senior right-hander was one strikeout away from setting the all-time MSU mark for Ks. "You try not to think of it, but in a way, it's kind of in the back of your mind," Gale admitted after the game.
If Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan were still alive, they'd be astounded to see themselves portrayed so perfectly in the BoarsHead Professional Theatre's musical production "Sarah, Ella & Pops." Playwright Janet Choe does one heck of a job pulling together three biographies into a two-hour play, but certain points of the musical lack the in-depth history that younger audience members might find necessary to understand exactly what's going on.
"One small step for Greek Life...One giant leap in the right direction." Banners emblazoned with the 2004 Greek Week slogan hung below the cover of a tent while members of fraternity and sorority teams walked laps during the second annual Relay for Life.

This letter is in response to what people should refrain from doing while driving "Driving don'ts" (SN 3/24). I am in complete agreement with the article because I am on a crusade against the stupid decisions people make.
Business and residential interests in downtown Lansing might be affected beginning today, as large portions of downtown Lansing streets will close for several months. The closures, part of a Michigan Department of Transportation initiative known as the Capitol Loop Project, seek to repair the Lansing roadways, as well as improve downtown aesthetics. The project will be done in two sections - one this year and another in 2005 - but initially was slated to repair all of the Capitol Loop, which includes about five roads surrounding the state Capitol, at once. Following concerns from local business owners who feared they could be negatively affected, however, the Lansing City Council refused to approve MDOT's initial plan. "Businesses were already suffering from a number of other things," Lansing City Councilmember Carol Wood said.
Ladies and gentleman, here on center ice is the three-ring circus. Sigh. Who am I kidding? That's just the trio of Detroit Red Wings goaltenders - Dominik Hasek, Curtis Joseph and Manny Legace. It's been the story since July 8, 2003, when Hasek officially unretired, checking Joseph out of the No.
Erin McLaughlin Special for The State News While most of MSU's campus lay still and freezing from the bitter snow, a warm and tropical atmosphere lingered in the Union on Saturday night.
In response to the front page article "Caught in the middle" (SN 3/31), I find it disturbing that MSU students are going to the West Bank to act as human shields for homicide bombers.
Andrew Goetz paints a picture of John Kerry as a committed supporter of the armed forces "Kerry's campaign jump-started by veteran's Vietnam rescue" (SN 3/31), but Kerry's actions immediately following his service and voting record in the Senate say otherwise. Kerry, while under oath, tossed out wild and unfounded accusations of war crimes in Vietnam before a Senate committee in 1971.
Friday night, it was curtains for Don "Big Jim" Ravioli. Less than an hour into a gala celebrating the grand opening of a friend's speakeasy, the mob boss was brutally gunned down in front of gangsters, gamblers and scantily clad harlots. The lights flickered out seconds before the shooting and, despite a broken champagne bottle near Big Jim's bullet-ridden body, no other evidence remained.
When Bill Brooks and Katie Neddermeyer swim, they talk about movies, music and the latest shows on television. The two go to movies at Wells Hall every once in a while on the weekend, and for Neddermeyer's 21st birthday, Brooks bought her margaritas at the Texas Steakhouse Saloon in Lansing. Neither dreamed such a close friendship would come on the other side of a newspaper ad.
As windows and doors are cracked open for the first time to let the spring air in, members of MSU's undergraduate student government are looking at making April "Lock Your Door!
Members of the MSU Rube Goldberg Machine Team spent more than four months tinkering with wires and mousetraps to get their contraption ready for the national competition held Saturday at Purdue University.
The Kresge Art Museum will add a new painting to its Figurative Expressionism Collection Initiative with the help of a grant from The Judith Rothschild Foundation. The work, "Two Figures, Two Heads" by Louis Finkelstein, was purchased with the $10,000 grant, and although it is not housed in the museum, the work will be made available for the next Figurative Expressionism exhibit. The Figurative Expressionist works are those with the figure kept in the work while moving toward abstract expression. Finkelstein, who created the work in 1998, studied painting at The Cooper Union, The Art Students League of New York and the Brooklyn Museum School.
Maverick had Goose. Bird had McHale. Haim had Feldman. But who will love John Kerry? Over the weekend, America's favorite monotonous senatorial snowboarder announced the heat is on to select his running mate sometime within the next eight weeks.
The Third Noble Truth of Buddhist principle tells us that suffering can be overcome, that true happiness and full contentment are not only possible, but available to those who seek it. Buddhist philosophy also tells us that life itself is suffering, and that inevitable suffering is the result of human nature, without any good or evil undertones and regardless of your level of happiness.
