The pain and embarrassment that was the Spartan 2002 football season just won't seem to stop haunting MSU's reputation. It was revealed on Monday former MSU star Charles Rogers used a substance to dilute his drug test at the NFL combine in February. It's now highly possible the consensus top-three pick in the April 26-27 NFL draft will be subject to the professional football league's drug evaluation program upon signing a contract with an NFL team. MSU doctors say urine-diluting substances are often used to hide the presence of illegal drugs.
As ASMSU wraps up its business for the semester, several representatives remain in limbo as to whether they will return in the fall.A total of 45 students were disqualified from the MSU undergraduate student government's election in March after it was discovered they had been endorsed by political organizations on campus.According to the ASMSU elections code, "Any campaign material bearing the name of a candidate must be approved and submitted to the AUEC (All-University Elections Committee) in writing before distribution."The MSU College Republicans made fliers and stickers, sent e-mails within the organization and campus mailings endorsing certain candidates from colleges across campus.

The final shots in Baghdad won't signal an end to demonstrations in East Lansing. "Because the war has ended doesn't mean that our problems cease to exist," said Bob Alexander, facilitator for the Michigan Peace Network and member of the Greater Lansing Network Against War in Iraq.
This is in response to "Protesters were wrong on Iraq; now it's time to help out" (SN 4/14). I am one of the "anti-war agitators," but I never said things such as "Saddam Hussein should remain in power," "Hussein's crimes were illusory" or "We won't be welcomed into Baghdad." I have never said Saddam is a good man or a good leader, and I would never protest to keep him in power. Instead, I was questioning Bush's motives for going to war.
No one would expect that playing covers in some bar would pay the bills, but many cover bands are disproving the myth that there's no money in play other people's music. Chicago glam-rockers Hairbanger's Ball, which has played to clubs and bars of more than 800 people, has been doing so well on the road that members no longer have to hold 9-to-5 jobs.
I used to think our president wasn't a bright man. But he's really not the word-bumbling buffoon we often see on television.
The smell of fatigue and the remnants of an after-party linger in the air Sunday as each band member of Know Lyfe enters the small coffee shop. Side by side, Lansing resident Waylon Fox and telecommunications junior Jerred Pruneau wait on a worn '70s patterned couch for the arrival of their, now late, lead singer and telecommunication junior Alfonso Civile and drummer Nick Killips. Fox, the band's pierced-lip- and tattooed-bassist, grins and silently laughs as if something has triggered a lost memory. "Last night was pretty insane," he states, turning to Pruneau who is now laughing loudly. A celebration with Ohio-native band members of Tsybil after a hard-driving show at Grand Rapid's own Liquid Room left a pile of empty bottles, blurred memories and 4:30 a.m.
When Royce Cole downloaded "The Bourne Identity" on file sharing software last month, he didn't expect retaliation from the movie industry.

In a continuing scheme to make money by doing as little work as possible, I've found inspiration to do something decidedly different. The realization came in class one day as I was reviewing various aspects of theories in fields ranging from film to music to politics. During my college career (one likely to be roughly the duration of an average doctor's time in school), I've been taught and taught and taught with little insight into the origins of many of the things I've learned. Now, many members of the faculty know how to teach.
We would like to say thank you to all the students at the rally and Board of Trustees meeting on Friday("Students demonstrate against 'U' policies" SN 4/14). We are proud to stand with you.

Officials in charge of the safety hazards plaguing the Northern Tier community should quickly finish up planned construction and put students' fears to rest.
