In one sentence, Craig Gunn promotes the beheading of Bill Gates because he's wealthy, and in the next, he states he has "nothing against capitalism." Gunn ("TV shows glamorizing wealthy pushes over-consumption") claims we have the right to "earn money, and spend it any way we desire," unless we earn too much. Unfortunately, Gunn fails to identify who gets to decide how much is too much and how it will be stopped.

Tuesday's 2004 State of the Union address drew mixed reactions from the MSU community and Michigan lawmakers.
During an on-campus meeting, East Lansing City Council members largely favored a controversial proposal that will add another housing complex to northern East Lansing. As of press time, the council had not formally voted on the proposal, but a majority of the council voiced its support of the vote during the meeting. The Beaumont, a complex made up of condominiums, apartments and single-family houses, could begin construction as early as this spring or summer. Patrick Gillespie, president of Gillespie Development & Management, proposed the 40-acre community, which would be built on Coleman Road near Crossing Place Apartments, 3636 Coleman Road. The complex, dubbed by developer Gillespie as an "alumni village," will offer rented and for-sale units to MSU alumni, young professionals and empty-nesters. "We've listened to the desire of the city to not draw students out into this development," Gillespie said. East Lansing residents voiced mixed feelings about the new complex, which some fear will bring about added traffic, noise and sprawl.
Oh, the power of the hangover. The pounding headache, the queasy stomach, the dizziness, the extreme sensitivity to light and sound, and the general overwhelming feeling of regret - all part of nature's punishment for having a little too much fun the night before. Although most people know that drinking in moderation is best, many get caught up in the moment and can't resist the temptation to tip back a few too many with close friends.

Circled around the rock on Farm Lane, about 20 people lit candles and held a moment of silence in memory of the 44 million people they say have lost their lives to abortion.
If abortion opponents have their way, one of the most personal and life-changing decisions a woman can make will become a decision legislators will make for her. In October, Gov.
Refusing to be discounted as a Big Ten contender, the Spartans delivered another dominating win, tossing their hat into the tight conference race. MSU (7-7 overall, 2-1 Big Ten) followed up an 18-point win over Penn State on Wednesday with a 71-54 mauling of Michigan on Saturday afternoon.

The newest addition to the Spartan football 2004 lineup said the main thing he hopes to accomplish in his freshman year is to keep the team on track for another winning season. Justin Kershaw, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound, strongside defensive end from Reynoldsburg High School in Columbus, Ohio, committed on Saturday to play for the Spartans.
I cannot understand the rampant and blatant errors that abound in people's historical anecdotes when they try and provide "evidence" for their arguments. Take Patrick Walter's article, "Moore tackles gun culture with grim accuracy, dead-on aim" (SN 1/13), about Michael Moore's "documentary," which said, "Fear of prosecution from the British resulted in the battles of Concord and Lexington, a fear of a divided nation rained down on Fort Sumter during the Civil War ?" I hoped that, at least in university classrooms, we had moved beyond the myth of our American heritage as a patriotic and righteous struggle against the injustices of others.
This letter is in response to John Bice's column "Raelian cult beliefs just as nutty as the Christian majority's" (SN 1/15). I wonder how this opinion piece would have been taken had Bice compared the "nuttiness" of the Raelian cult to, say, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, how about Shamanism?
The longest-running play in the world, 52 years to be exact, is precisely that - long. "The Mousetrap" opened at the Hannah Community Center, 819 Abbott Road, this past weekend, and despite the two and a half hour playing time, the classic whodunit was brought to life flawlessly by the Lansing Civic Players. "The Mousetrap," directed by Linda Granger, starts when five travelers become stranded by a harsh storm that forces them to take safety in Monkswell Manor.
