Surprising end
Forget the red and green. Bring on the green and white. The reason for the season festivities should be the MSU football team, because fans have a lot to be thankful for after this year's run. After a surprisingly successful season that started with a bang, the Spartans beat Pennsylvania State University on Saturday, to finish the season with its best record since 1999.

COMMENTARY
Woman's life not concern of public
Looking at the recent flurry of letters, you'd think Preeti Prasad had ordered the head of every child on her plate ("Right to abort between women, doctor not her legislators" SN 11/11). She didn't. The point that she made is that the ban signed by President Bush targets a procedure used in the third trimester - when abortion is only legal if a woman's life is in danger.

ASMSU is by no means the U.S. Congress. Although some members of MSU's undergraduate student government believe this, it should not deter representatives from restructuring the organization into a single assembly.

Britney continues to mature on 'Zone'
When the name Britney Spears comes up, many thoughts come to mind: naughty schoolgirl, heartbreaker of America's favorite *NSYNC babe and the newest installment of pop-culture commercialism - the Madonna kiss. Her last stints with the public haven't had anything to do with music, including posing topless and bottomless for numerous magazines like "Rolling Stone" and "Esquire." Although everyone has an opinion about how talented Miss Britney is, she's back at it again after two years with her fourth album, "In The Zone," from Jive Records.

COMMENTARY
Unfair spending
Finally. Someone has heard students' pleading for help regarding textbook costs. U.S. Rep. David Wu, D-Ore., has introduced a bill to investigate textbook costs for American students versus what international students pay for the same books. It's nice to see someone in government trying to alleviate some of the costs of attending college, which only seem to get worse every time a legislative body meets. As we found out, a chemistry book costs $130 on www.amazon.com but less than $60 on Amazon's United Kingdom version.
