Congratulations to Coach P. and the women's squad for having one heck of a season. Being ranked in the Top 25 has far exceeded preseason expectations. Then there is the men's team, sitting at 17-10, a far cry from its No.
MSU nearly clinched a share of the Big Ten Championship - for the second time - when Purdue threatened to beat Illinois Wednesday night.
A man whom police believe was involved in assaulting an MSU student in Hubbard Hall was arraigned Thursday in East Lansing 54-B District Court.
Two damn free throws. That's all MSU junior guard Chris Hill and the Spartans faithful have heard about since Tuesday night's heart-breaking overtime loss to No.
Movie adaptations of nostalgic TV shows have a bumpy reputation. With the exception of "The Addams Family" and "Dragnet," these adaptations of popular shows of the past have been a fairly dry bunch of losers.
Mason - A judge on Thursday found the man accused of killing an MSU professor competent to stand trial, but a possible insanity ruling could determine if a trial will take place. The results of Bramlett Hamilton's psychiatric evaluation, released last month, were reviewed by 55th District Court Judge Thomas Brennan Jr., who determined Hamilton's competency. Hamilton was charged in November with the murder of his mother, 66-year-old MSU professor Ruth Simms Hamilton, who was found stabbed to death in her Meridian Township home on Nov.
Following the early Sunday morning shooting at an East Lansing 7-Eleven, police are asking witnesses to come forward with information. Officers are looking for those who might have talked to police the morning of the incident to discuss the case further. Police also are asking anyone who was near the area of the shooting, which happened at 210 E.
A memorial service will take place later this month for Ernst Lucas, known to many members of the MSU community as Ernie the Can Man. Lucas died in January at the age of 68. The memorial is being planned by his brothers, Jack Lucas of West Hartford, Conn., and Alexander Lucas of Rochester, Minn.
President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney's new campaign ads use the usual political campaign tactics: pictures of hardworking, blue-collar Americans, images of American flags, and then, maybe not surprising, images of Ground Zero and the hollowed-out area where the World Trade Center once stood.
A march recognizing International Women's Day is being organized by a coalition of local and statewide groups.
Dominic Vicari doesn't want the MSU hockey team's two-game matchup starting tonight to be about him vs.
While applications from undergraduate international students have increased over the last year, university officials reported that applications from their graduate counterparts have declined noticeably.
One wants to continue playing hockey while the other wants to become a surgeon. The two graduating seniors for the Spartans hockey team couldn't be going on a more different path after finishing their careers at MSU. Defenseman Joe Markusen and forward Steve Swistak will be honored in tonight's Senior Day festivities before facing off against Michigan at 8:05. Markusen, a general management major, doesn't have definite plans of what he'll do, but hopes the plans include playing hockey somewhere - wherever that might be. "Hopefully, I can get picked up somewhere, do that for a while and see where it goes - other than that, I guess I'm really not sure," the Park River, N.D., native said. Markusen said it's a little "nerve-racking, but at the same time exciting" to not know what he might be doing. "It'll be fun to see what happens, where I'll end up.
Campus programs such as State Walk are seeing increased foot traffic, and members say the rise could be caused by several factors such as an increase in promotion or the recent crimes in the area.
So, because you, as chemistry graduate students, have better wages and more job security, you don't need the Graduate Employees Union; you can be complacent and let teaching assistants less fortunate than you fend for themselves ("GEU representation not needed for all" SN 3/3). That's like saying you're rich; you don't need any of the public services people pay taxes for, so you should not have to pay taxes.
There has been much ado lately about a small Caribbean nation called Haiti. Perhaps you've read about the rebellion taking place and the president who has resigned (or was he "kidnapped"?). Admittedly, it would be difficult to altogether miss this, considering the amount of press coverage Haiti has received in recent weeks. What has proved disheartening to me, however, is that it took a revolution to put Haiti in the news.
MSU President M. Peter McPherson continued lobbying efforts Wednesday to bring a $1 billion nuclear science project to MSU's campus. McPherson met with the state's Senate Economic Development, Small Business and Regulatory Reform Committee to restate the value of housing the Rare Isotope Accelerator at MSU. The committee voted 5-0 to send the resolution to the full Senate.
First, the entire basis for your editorial ("Wrong rally" SN 3/3) regarding the Graduate Employees Union organizing the Arts & Letters teach-in is factually incorrect.
The No. 25 MSU women's basketball team is having an amazing season, better than the men's. Just look at the numbers. See the number next to the women's team?
Bulletin boards with same-sex marriage information have been targets of vandalism in four residence halls.
