When Clint Cayou dances, he leaves the world behind. He doesn't think about his vision of the reservations as "stark-like prisons." He doesn't think about money or personal problems. The 43-year-old simply celebrates his American Indian culture in that moment, dancing the Northern Traditional dances of his Nebraskan Omaha tribe. "It's spiritual," said Cayou, who is from Macy, Neb.
As experts in different forms of science, two MSU professors will serve on the Michigan Environmental Science Board. College of Agriculture Professor Joan Bray Rose is as interested in Michigan's water as MSU-DCL College of Law and College of Natural Science Professor Nicholas Mercuro is interested in how Michigan's financial state affects the environment. Established in 1992, the board serves as an independent state agency, aiding in the governor's decisions about environmental and natural resources.

Maybe it's the extra motivation that drives the MSU hockey team to win games its critics say the Spartans should lose. They took the season series away from CCHA regular-season champs Michigan by tying and winning the final two regular-season contests against the then-No.
Women of reproductive age spend 68 percent more in out-of-pocket health care than men. While 97 percent of insurance plans cover prescription drugs, only 33 percent carry oral contraceptives and only 15 percent carry all five of the primary types of contraceptives. This unjust policy means that the average woman who wants to have two children will have to use contraception for more than two decades of her life.
Following my graduation from MSU in December 2002, I was facing a job market that was horrible at best, and I had bill collectors around every corner.
Lansing - Gray skies and the threat of rain did not deter the crowd that showed up for a global day of protest Saturday, when hundreds from across Michigan spoke out on the first anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq war. More than 200 protesters met at Louis Adado Riverfront Park in Lansing as part of the Global Day of Action against War and Occupation - a march to the Capitol followed by a rally - carrying signs and banners, with some wearing costumes, including chains and masks of President Bush. The group chanted, "1, 2, 3, 4, hey, dude, where's our country?", while some demonstrators beat drums or buckets to keep pace while marching.

Michigan residents who have paid fines for failure to provide proof of insurance to police officers might soon have the opportunity to receive reimbursement. Legislation was passed Wednesday that would amend laws passed last year intended to punish people who drive without having car insurance. Under current laws, referred to as "bad driver" laws, drivers could pay fees reaching up to $435 over a two-year period in addition to $300 in assessments for failure to provide proof of insurance. The amendment would allow Michigan residents who can prove before the court that they had insurance at the time of citation to only pay a $25 administrative fee, which was charged before "bad driver" laws were put in place.
MSU students can achieve their individual and collective voice in East Lansing politics by not spending money in the downtown business district.
In response to Owen Weber's letter ("LBGT bulletin boards offensive to some" SN 3/18), I am slightly bothered by the nature of his argument.

A new computer virus known as Witty is attacking computers thought to be protected with the firewall software program BlackICE. The Academic Computing and Network Services, formerly the MSU Computer Center, has encouraged this protective software for personal computers, and many students might be at risk, senior information technologist Richard Wiggins said. It is not known how many MSU computers might be infected, Wiggins said. "The ironic thing is, this has occurred where a product to protect your computer has a flaw and if you're running it, people can attack your computer," he said. The Witty worm disperses itself to other computers by scanning infected computers for Internet-protocol addresses.
