University officials suspended two students Friday for their alleged involvement in disturbances following two MSU basketball games that caused more than $40,000 in damage to campus and city. The suspensions are the first responses by the university in reaction to the celebration and riot, which took place between March 28-30, resulting in more than 20 student arrests.

As noted on our Web site (www.campustruth.org), in placing the ads our goal was to make sure opinions other than those of the anti-Israeli crowd could be heard on college campuses across America. It is our belief that American college students are the newest targets of the Arab propaganda machine's disinformation campaign and are systematically being targeted for intimidation on college campuses.

So, Marquette lost by 33 points in the Final Four to Kansas Saturday evening, so what? Yeah, the Golden Eagle players like Dwyane Wade and coaches like special assistant Trey Schwab were probably all very distraught afterwards, but they'll be smiling again soon, hopefully. You see, most teams can celebrate a Final Four appearance by thinking, "Wow, next year we'll be back, we'll be better." But then again, most teams aren't like Marquette. While Wade, Marquette's star guard, was working on his game all season in hopes of leading his team to victory against the major programs in the tournament, Schwab was working out in hopes of gaining his strength back after undergoing constant tests and treatments as he prepared to do battle with a deadly disease. Just over two years ago, Schwab was told he'd have a 40 percent chance of living to see the end of this year. But that didn't stop him from heading to New Orleans this past weekend. Plain and simple, the man has courage, just like his team. He is an underdog and has been fighting an uphill battle for years, just like his team fought its way through a tough season and into the Final Four. Yet there is one major difference between the Golden Eagles future and Schwab's: Because the team lost, they will return next year with hopes of returning to the Big Dance.

A recently issued resolution asserts "the public need for fasting and prayer in order to secure the blessings and protection of Providence for the people of the United States and our Armed Forces." It suggests that Americans "... submit to the wisdom and love of God." By doing such things, Americans may procure "the enduring grace and benevolence of God." This religious proclamation calls on all Americans to pray, fast and "seek guidance from God." Surprisingly, this resolution did not come from a religious organization.
