The most recent action brings the total to four students who have been temporarily suspended in the aftermath of the riot which caused $40,000 in damage to city and campus, said Lee June, vice president for student affairs and services.

Officials have refused to release names of those who have been suspended, citing the Family and Educational Rights Privacy Act.

The U.S. News & World Report released Friday that four of MSU's colleges are among the top 25 schools in the nation - a refreshing reminder this campus is a place for quality higher education. In light of the university community's recent press for a weekend riot, playing the stage for a Girls Gone Wild stunt and being announced as a destination for a Playboy college photo shoot, it's comforting to know the university is gaining recognition for things other than earning points on the Princeton Review's top 20 party school list, where it places on a regular basis.

For the first time since "Saving Private Ryan," Vin Diesel is actually in a fairly good movie. The hugely popular actor has made a lot of money acting in an arsenal of crappy movies such as "Pitch Black" and "The Fast and the Furious."

The plot is very familiar territory, taken most notably from the revenge epic "Death Wish" and its four horrid sequels.
