The red-hot MSU baseball team's (16-12 overall, 6-2 Big Ten) winning streak was extinguished at 12 games after losing their final two contests in a weekend series with Illinois (10-16, 3-5). MSU head baseball coach Ted Mahan said his team is tired and that is a factor that played into the Spartans' streak being snapped this weekend.

Now, as an English senior, the singer and bass player wants people to recognize the band for what it produced - great punk rock. Toman, along with two other Nirvana fans, will perform 20 of the band's lesser-known songs tonight at Caffe Latte, 110 Charles St.

After spending the majority of the season on the road, including the past six games, the MSU softball team is back in the comforts of its own dugout to open up the Big Ten season at home. The Spartans (19-14, 1-3 Big Ten) hope to put their recent woes behind them - 1-4 in the past five - as Minnesota (22-11, 3-1) and Wisconsin (21-17, 1-3) come to East Lansing.

I am sorry Janelle Jennifer Jordan's sensibilities were upset by the publication of a picture of the mutilated bodies of two "civilian" employees of the private security firm Blackwater Security Consulting in The State News ("Graphic picture doesn't belong in SN" SN 4/7). However, I think it is very appropriate that the American public is allowed to see the results of the invasion of Iraq in all their raw, unpleasant details. It is fair that Jordan feel disgusted and appalled, but perhaps her indignation is better spent considering the policies that brought about the deaths of these men, rather than blaming the media that allowed her to see something so unpleasant. I, for one, applaud The State News for fulfilling its journalistic obligations, especially when so many other media outlets failed. John Brazier 1989 graduate
