Students might have to find an excuse for missing class besides the sniffles. Olin Health Center officials no longer want to write medical notices for students with appointments for routine illnesses. Students seem to be making appointments at Olin to receive a documented excuse for missing class, placing an "undue burden" on doctors and nurses, Olin Director Glynda Moorer said. "What we have is a problem," she said.

Bice wrote an column called, "Science relies on confidence, strength of evidence, not faith" (SN 1/27). I felt compelled to comment. We know that our life has meaning, at least to some degree, whether it is self-derived or bestowed from the heavens. The source of this meaning is not concretely defined for us.

The East Lansing Planning Commission approved a recommendation Wednesday evening to allow a downtown restaurant to serve alcohol. Harry Saites, owner of adjoining restaurants Lou & Harry's Five Star Deli and LH Grille Room, will now go before the city council Tuesday to be approved for a special-use permit. The permit, along with a liquor license - purchased by Saites in another Ingham County municipality and transferred into East Lansing - would allow him to begin serving alcohol in the restaurants, located at 245 and 235 Ann St. "We're delighted about this, and we're ready for the city council," said Saites' attorney, George Brookover. Brookover spoke at the Wednesday meeting, advocating for the permit and expressing concern over an amendment added to the proposal by city staff. The amendment allowed alcohol to be served only at the LH Grille, but was changed later in the meeting to include seated customers at the Five Star Deli.
The newest self-titled release from the giveaway features four original songs that exhibit not only the quintet's instrumental talent, but its creativity as well. I suppose the album is borderline emo, but thankfully singer Travis Shaver doesn't whine, which makes it all the more bearable. "Undeveloped" is the album's first track and is reminiscent of music by the group's collective favorite artist, Duncan Sheik.
Presidential hopeful Howard Dean spoke on campus Thursday afternoon, comparing the federal budget shortage to the 23-point deficit the men's basketball team faced against Minnesota Wednesday night. Just as the team eventually was victorious, the former Vermont governor said he also would overcome the country's problems. Homemade political posters lined the walls of the Kellogg Center's auditorium, which couldn't hold the 600 people who showed up for the rally. "The election is not going to be decided by pundits or polls," Dean said.

It's 4:30 a.m. and you're suddenly awoken by a stabbing pain near your groin. You hightail it out of bed, throw yourself into your waiting winter jacket, fumble around for some change and dash out the front door. You jog two blocks when you realize that if you had sprinted, you would have been there by now. But finally, the building comes into sight and you reach the front, jam your change down the mandatory slot, and when the entrance finally creaks open, you hustle inside and immediately start to - relieve yourself. This isn't your worst nightmare.
MSU organizations, administrators and officials from the city of East Lansing are working together to help connect younger voters to local and national elections via the Internet. Formed in 2000, You Vote, located at http://youvote.msu.edu, educates student voters with frequent updates leading up to November elections. The idea for the site emerged after the 2000 elections, when there were a lot of problems with voting in East Lansing, said Ginny Haas, MSU's director of community relations. "Students had a hard time identifying where they were supposed to vote," she said.
In the final leg of a three-game road trip, the No. 18 MSU women's basketball team faces Illinois. The Spartans (15-3 overall, 5-2 Big Ten) will be tested again, coming off an upset win at then-No.
I am writing in response to several anti-choice items which have appeared in The State News recently but to the letter "Elect responsible, pro-life candidates" in particular. In a country where nearly 80 million pregnancies are unintended each year and nearly half of these result in abortion, it is sad that women who make this choice are ostracized by some who claim to be advocates for women.

Lansing - Gov. Jennifer Granholm depicted Michigan's economy as tough in her State of the State address Tuesday night, but stressed it would be possible to overcome difficulty with discipline and hard work. "The state of our state tonight is one of determination," Granholm told legislators and some Michigan citizens in House chambers. Job creation, education and environmental protection each were stressed in the governor's one-hour speech, which was entitled "Our Determination, Our Destination: A 21st Century Economy." Granholm introduced two initiatives regarding higher education in the address. One program would provide students at public universities with zero-percent interest on loans, provided they are working for a degree in either engineering or technology. Granholm also announced that MSU is the first university in the state to commit to not raising tuition above the rate of inflation, adding that Wayne State University may make the same commitment. "I challenge others to follow their lead: Keep tuition affordable, and keep the American dream of college alive for our young people," she said. As elements of her plan for economic growth, Granholm announced the creation of three funds for entrepreneurs, which could make more than half a billion dollars available to "expanding 21st century businesses," and highlighted a plan to make high-speed Internet available throughout the state. "Just as 50 years ago we used the strength of steel to link our two peninsulas, we will now use the power of this new technology to link every community in our state to a world of economic opportunity," Granholm said.
