When Elizabeth Keson walks out of buildings, she sometimes gets attacked by a swarm of various ladybug-like insects."They're all over the doorways of all the buildings, so when you go in and out, they end up on your clothes," the food science sophomore said.
"Cabin Fever" There's plenty of fun, gore and sex in this salute to horror films of Hollywood's history.
For April Husted, it was the little things that began to add up. She was sleeping more than usual, had stopped eating and had no desire to attend class. But it hadn't always been that way for the psychology senior. When Husted, who is a Saline resident, returned to school after winter break her freshman year, she was looking forward to a new semester. But as the winter months set in, complete with frigid days and dark, somber afternoons, the psychology senior's mood began to change.
ASMSU leaders will host a forum tonight with East Lansing officials for students to express concerns about the city's stiffened policy on party noise. Student leaders and city officials are expected to address the policy and answer questions about the five-week-old ordinance that calls for jail time and steep fines for hosts of unruly parties. East Lansing police issued 11 citations under the policy during its first two weeks. Concerned students are conducting a petition drive in hopes of forcing the East Lansing City Council to reconsider the ordinance. The forum will begin at 7 p.m.
The people of California replaced Gray Davis with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the "Terminator," and will have to live with that decision. Their dissatisfaction with Davis led them to elect someone from the opposite end of the spectrum.
This letter is in response to the letter to the editor by Eva Bohler"Columnist wrong in religious debate". As a freethinker, I found her arrogance and ignorance on the issue offensive.
While counselors say the onset of midterms during fall semester is prime time for college students to seek help for depression or anxiety-related disorders, help is available for those with the illness. The MSU Psychological Clinic is offering free mental health screenings from 5 to 9 p.m.
It's the question all seniors, or super-seniors, fear the most: "What do you plan to do once you graduate?" I despise this question, not just because I have no answer, but because the mere mention of it makes me feel I like I should have the answer.
The State News can always be counted on for extensive MSU sports coverage. I found Monday's article demanding more noise from MSU football fans especially important ("Fans can't just come to games, need to be louder"), along with the blow-by-blow analysis of MSU's overwhelming defeat of the weakest football team in the Big Ten.
This is in response to Dale Hitchcock's letter "Uniforms without names need to go". The removal of the names goes along with coaching genius Joe Paterno's belief that football is a team sport and should not single out certain athletes.
If the MSU basketball team is lacking one thing, it would be depth in the post. The Spartans took a step in the right direction Wednesday when Lansing Everett senior center Goran Suton orally committed to MSU. "I'm going to stay here and be a Spartan," Suton said in Everett's Earvin "Magic" Johnson Gymnasium. With the early exit of freshman Erazem Lorbek last season and the possibility that sophomore Paul Davis might leave early if he has one or two spectacular seasons, the Spartans' most pressing need was at the center and power forward position. When Florida Air Academy star Alexander Kaun, who orally committed to Kansas, eliminated MSU as one of his potential schools, the Spartans put more effort into recruiting Suton.
Not many people know how it feels to wake up dressed in a Confederate flag or to be snuck up on and tagged with an electric dog collar.It may sound odd, but these are typical of the hijinks Ettison Clio employs while on tour.
It's taken five years for MSU MATRIX coordinators and The Alliance for American Quilts to piece together a worldwide database to preserve hundreds of years of American quilt storytelling.The archive opened Monday and serves as a virtual collection to make the history and background of quilts across the nation available online."Quilts are folk culture, and over the last 20 years, we have come to realize that we can learn a lot about the time periods they came from," Mark Kornbluh, director of MATRIX, said.
Students applying for The Ohio State University and MSU this fall will be the first class to go through new admission processes at both schools. Ohio State is the last school in the Big Ten to eliminate its race-based point system for undergraduate admissions, complying with a Supreme Court ruling in June on the use of race in admissions.
After sitting out all of last year and catching only nine passes for 64 yards in the first five games this season, sophomore receiver Matt Trannon finally busted out of his shell last weekend. And his coaches and teammates couldn't be more excited. "First of all, you got to remember he hasn't gotten very much time on the field, and I think you'll see him begin to continue to steadily improve each week," senior quarterback Jeff Smoker said.
After only being in East Lansing for about two weeks, MSU President M. Peter McPherson said he's ready to focus on the university and step out of the limelight created by his work in Iraq. His comments came after recently returning from a trip to Washington, D.C., where he briefed President Bush on the advancement of Iraq's economy. "I expect to periodically go to Washington on behalf of Michigan State business," he said.
This is in response to Dale Hitchcock's letter regarding names on the uniform ("Uniforms without names need to go" SN 10/3). First and foremost, this is not a marketing ploy by the university to get you to buy a program.
The No. 16 MSU volleyball team has reached the halfway point of the season. And luckily for the Spartans, they've done it with more positives than negatives. Even though it would like to be better than 10-4 overall and 2-2 in the Big Ten, the team is happy with its record and the prospects of the season's second half. "I'm happy with the record," senior libero and co-captain Emmy Miller said.
With four games in the past, it is all even between The State News homegrown fantasy football gurus. A new season begins in Week Six - known in college football as Separation Saturday - when fantasy players start showing whether they will be consistent forces each week. Look for good football in Week Six as three of the NFL's weakest teams - Cincinnati, Detroit and San Diego - take the week off.
