Hiding behind a computer screen, an identity-theft predator commits crimes under a veil of anonymity and silence. Invisible to eyewitnesses and often undetected for months, identity criminals can violate a victim's identity 24 hours a day with a few keystrokes. As thousands of identities are stolen each day, researchers in the MSU Identity Theft laboratory are working to unmask the predator and break the code on this quickly evolving crime. Identity theft occurs when someone knowingly uses another person's identification to break the law. Predators appear in many forms, according to "Perpetrator Profiles," a forthcoming study by MSU identity theft researchers Judith Collins and Sandra Hoffman. The typical identity thief is a 24- to 36-year-old male who steals personal information such as social security and credit card numbers and bank account codes - often by breaking into databases. "We are in a world of databases and people managing databases who have not been secured," said Collins, director of MSU Identity Theft Partnerships in Prevention. About 35 percent of identity predators are women, according to the report based on about 1,000 identity-theft cases.
To many of the students active with the Hillel Jewish Student Center, Judaism is more than a religion - it's a culture, a way of life and it's political. At Israelfest on Tuesday evening, an event designed to bring cultural and political awareness to members of the pro-Israel community at MSU, all aspects of the heritage were brought together. Colorful art by Israeli artists was displayed, Mediterranean food was catered and Ellen Rothfeld, a Hebrew lecturer at MSU, taught Israeli dances she learned while living in the country. "They're a lot of fun - good, aerobic exercise," she said.

There's nothing worse than fraud. Fake people, fake fur, fake smiles and all of these fake clothing brands and accessories should all be gathered together in a room and torched. I've been watching you around campus.

Advertising graduate student Colleen Norwine was pleasantly surprised on Tuesday afternoon when she stopped by the lobby of the MSU-DCL College of Law building on her way to use the library. Instead of finding students studying or waiting for class to begin, she walked right into the thick of Ethnic Food Day. "I saw the sign, and I love ethnic food," she said.
The Spring 2004 sorority recruitment week kicked off Monday with a fair at the Union. All 13 chapters of the Panhellenic Council were on hand, manning booths that sported pictures and bulletin boards as members of each sorority answered questions and concerns from potential recruits. Abbey Mansfield, president of the Panhellenic Council, said Spring recruitment is less formal than Fall and gives recruits a chance to get to know each house on a more personal basis.
Some stood with both arms lifted firmly to the sky. Others raised a hand more tentatively, held closely into their bodies. Still others bowed heads and silently mouthed the words of the Christian song hanging in the air at Conrad Hall. "I'm forgiven because you were forsaken," the image freezes for a second before moving to the next set of lyrics in the song. For Julia Hilliker, an agriscience freshman, this was a private moment she could share in a public forum.
Adam Vinatieri pulled off another Super Bowl victory for the New England Patriots in the final seconds of the game; however, the image that remains etched in the minds of the billions of Super Bowl viewers (including children!) is that of the sparkling sun conveniently placed over Janet Jackson's nipple. Justin Timberlake sang that he'd have Jackson naked by the end of the song and, with that, pulled out her breast.
