Members of the MSU Marching Band will perform a benefit concert for local charities Sunday afternoon. MSU Men's Basketball Coach Tom Izzo and MSU Athletic Director Ron Mason are special guests at the concert, which features Spartan music, band standards and other favorites.
They are polar opposites. A team that has had troubles getting their feet on the ground against the team that folds like origami. In two games, Notre Dame has scored only three points in the first half, while MSU has been held to 22 second half points in its first three games. Last weekend was a perfect example of both teams' offensive ineptitude.

The Residence Halls Association will sign a new one-year recycling contract with MSU's Office of Recycling and Waste Management by the beginning of next week, association officials say. The organization recently ended five years of service with Waste Management, a national recycling company, after conflicts with contract terms and concerns from RHA about whether materials were being recycled. RHA spokesman Brian Winters said association officials experienced difficulties with Waste Management in the past, and they began to search for a new recycling service. "There was a concern they weren't holding up their end of the contract while we were holding up our end of the contract to a tee," Winters said. The agreement with the university's recycling office, which charges $3,725 a semester, is less expensive than the contract with Waste Management, Winters said. Instead of recycling glass, plastics, bottles, cans, newspaper and office paper, as in previous years, MSU only will handle newspaper recycling and printer ink cartridges.
MSU President M. Peter McPherson will have some homework to do when he returns from Baghdad. The university's top 11 executive officials and various members of MSU's faculty are preparing files in their areas of expertise, designed to inform McPherson of MSU's activities during his absence as president. "He's eagerly seeking the homework," university spokesman Terry Denbow said.
It's a good thing for the MSU football team that its games aren't played on a video-game console. Or on national television for that matter. This week both will happen, and both might be embarrassing.

What a fresh concept - a politician geared toward the younger generation. Democrat or not, all college-age students should appreciate Howard Dean's efforts to include the younger generation in the political scene.
They're the Detroit Tigers of college football. No offense and a whole lot of publicity.
MSU men's basketball head coach Tom Izzo can now cross three names off the list of possible recruits for the 2004 season. Grand Ledge junior Al Horford announced his verbal commitment to U-M on Thursday, ending days of speculation that the 6-foot-8, 211-pound forward would commit to the Wolverines.
MSU is considered to be a home away from home for many students - just ask psychology junior Nicole Baer who calls Shaw Hall her "house." There is no reason for students to arm themselves here, because like Baer, one should feel safe in their own "house." MSU ranked No.

The MSU Computer Laboratory is warning students and faculty that another "virus storm" could strike campus at any time. In an e-mail to the entire MSU community late Thursday, laboratory staff said Microsoft recently discovered new "vulnerabilities" in its Windows software that could expose computers to another round of viruses, similar to those that caused havoc in late August. The message, listed as "highest" priority, compares the ensuing round of viruses to the hurricane that slugged the East Coast this week. "Just as people on the Atlantic coast boarded up their windows in anticipation of Hurricane Isabel, everyone at MSU who uses a Windows computer needs to take action immediately," the e-mail states. Computer staff outlined ways to protect computers, such as running the Windows Update, if it hasn't been updated since Sept.
Both No. 1 (Jon Styf) and No. 2 (Jon Malavolti) finished barely above .500 after last weekend's results rolled in.
This letter is intended as a response to Fred Sharp's letter "Liberalism doesn't support higher education". I will focus on "liberals and their anti-Americanism" and how the "left" is "anti-education." In the Soviet Union, dissidents were bitterly condemned as anti-Soviet because they condemned their state's crimes instead of marching in parades denouncing the crimes of official enemies.
Okemos residents Tom and Anne Woiwode have gotten used to visitors climbing through their second-floor bathroom window to stand on their roof.

College-age students are more likely to drive drugged than any other age group, a national survey released this week said. But among MSU students, officials say that might not be the case. According to a survey released Tuesday by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, 41 percent of young adults are not concerned about getting behind the wheel after using drugs.
