On paper, the MSU baseball team outplayed the Boilermakers this weekend. The Spartans scored more runs (17-15), had more hits (30-25) and slammed more home runs (4-1). All the numbers point to a successful weekend, right? Except for the fact the Spartans didn't light up the scoreboard until Sunday, when they scored 12 runs, had 15 hits and laced three of their four home runs. Sunday's 12-1 slaughter ended the weekend on a high note, but it didn't erase the fact MSU lost the first three games by a combined score of 14-5 and, in the process, had lost six straight Big Ten games. "It's definitely disappointing," said freshman first baseman Sean Walker, who went 6-for-14 over the weekend and was the only Spartan to record a hit in each game.

More than one-third of Michigan's state representatives will not have the opportunity to run for re-election this fall, as term limits on legislators take effect for the first time since voters approved them in 1992. The limits, which took effect in 1998, restrict state representatives from serving more than three two-year terms in office.

Michiganians are literally surrounded by water. Living in the Great Lakes state means added tourism to recreational waterways and access to freshwater resources the rest of the world can only envy.

Jeff Smoker's possible successor and MSU's potential next power running back showed their potential and inexperience in their first competition before an MSU crowd on Saturday. Redshirt freshmen Stephen Reaves and Jehuu Caulcrick - both scout teamers last year - could be the starting quarterback and running back, respectively, in the fall for the Spartans. In Saturday's Green-White Spring Scrimmage at Spartan Stadium, Reaves eventually settled into a rhythm after struggling early, and Caulcrick ran the ball with power and speed most of the day. Reaves, who played with the first-string offense Saturday, was 15-of-26 for 184 yards and two interceptions, while Caulcrick rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries "Early on, I thought I could've done some things better throwing the ball, made a little better reads," Reaves said.

We often look at star athletes and dub them heroes. Whether hitting the game-winning shot, scoring a tying goal or leading a team to a championship, the "man of the moment" becomes a hero to his fans. But when it comes to the real meaning behind the word "hero", it is supposed to be connected with a person known for achievements of unparalleled courage and strength, especially those who sacrifice their lives. A true hero is someone who can (and does) give up everything for an honorable cause.
Now that Student Assembly members have spent time changing ASMSU internally, new Student Assembly Chairperson Andrew Schepers said he is looking toward a "horizon" of university changes.

Schepers spoke Thursday night, when he ran unopposed for a chair position of MSU's undergraduate student government.
