Spartans football landed yet another top junior college recruit for the 2004 season. Kenny Jackson, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound wide receiver from Bakersfield College in Bakersfield, Calif., said he couldn't have pictured himself anywhere but East Lansing. "Going to MSU was something I had always been interested in," Jackson said.
Every possession is key and a chance to score. The one thing that kills a team's possession is a turnover. The No.
This is like asking if the Los Angeles Lakers are really the best team in the NBA. It's a question that, year after year, always seems to be spit out around the same time with the same pathetic arguments.
Presidential hopeful Howard Dean visited the Kellogg Center's auditorium on MSU's campus Thursday afternoon, entering the stage amidst a chorus of U2's "Beautiful Day" and a fierce "We want Dean" chant.

The awkward teenage years. You probably remember them well. Hell, it wasn't too long ago for many of you.
This week, MSU has resembled the red carpet of politics. Author Michael Moore, Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and presidential hopeful Howard Dean all have come to campus in the span of two days. Moore will be signing copies of his new book, "Dude, Where's My Country?" today, and both Kennedy, who came in support of presidential hopeful John Kerry, and Dean came Thursday. We also have influential scientists and intellectuals come to MSU such as Frances Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, who is well-known for leading the team that mapped the human genome. MSU students might not know how extraordinarily lucky they are to have all of these well-known and famous figures coming to their campus.

As early as this fall, off-campus students might have a central place to get their questions about living in East Lansing answered. An off-campus resource center is in the early stages of planning by the Community Relations Coalition. The coalition is submitting a grant proposal for $12,000 today to pay for an office, possibly in Bailey Community Center or at the base of the parking garage on Grove Street. "It's within the neighborhoods, so it's not a big hike and it's all centralized," said Nancy Schertzing, East Lansing resident and executive director of the coalition.

Need a reason to watch Sunday's Super Bowl besides the commercials? Look for Carolina receiver Muhsin Muhammad, the former Spartans standout and Lansing hometown hero. Known for catching long passes as a member of MSU's "Bomb Squad" in the mid-'90s, Muhammad, 30, is hoping to leave the Patriots feeling green on Sunday. Muhammad played in 36 games for MSU from 1992 to 1995, catching 69 passes for 1,147 yards during his MSU career.
It's not just a play. Nor is it simply a performance. It's not a drama or a musical. And it's certainly not something our mothers were going to when they were our age. It's "The Vagina Monologues" - the award-winning play written by Eve Ensler, and it will be performed by a cast of MSU students on Saturday and Sunday at the Wharton Center's Pasant Theatre. The hour-and-a-half long show will tell the stories of hundreds of women across the globe during their experiences of giving birth, sexuality, rape and even getting their first period. "Women would line up everywhere I went to tell me stories about being beaten, battered and incested," Ensler said in a telephone interview.
