"Last year the guys didn't follow through," senior captain Paul Harker said.

Parking enforcement student supervisor Ron Kalich wrote in his letter "Bike impoundment service necessary" (SN 7/30) that campus police removes "unwanted bicycles and improves the appearance of the university."

Those craving an eclectic blend of art and music this weekend should look no further than downtown East Lansing.
When two closely matched nations compete militarily against each other, often one will develop a new, powerful weapon, subsequently prompting the other to develop an even newer, more powerful weapon.During the Cold War, this precarious situation was commonplace, a competition which thankfully ended without a direct shot fired.Now, almost 15 years removed from the implosion of the Soviet Union, some members of the Conservative Right would like to bring the same stable serenity of an arms race to the high school classroom.
