Around 8 p.m. Sunday, I watched as hundreds of Spartans mobbed toward the rock on Farm Lane chanting "go green" and "f*** Texas." I was bitter because I was stuck at the Auditorium, working on class projects.

It's okay to be caught smiling uncontrollably today, you have a reasonable excuse to do so. Like parents who are proud of their honor students, fans of the Detroit rock scene just watched their children's training wheels come off. The White Stripes, who have been driving fun, lighthearted rock 'n' roll back into the Detroit scene since the band's formation in 1997, jumped up on the commercial success tricycle with the release of its third album "White Blood Cells" in 2001 and took right off down the block. It's hard to believe the band is back already with its fourth release "Elephant." The album has a less polished feel to it.
University and East Lansing officials are offering up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of participants in Sunday night's riot that shook campus and the city's downtown. MSU President M.
My Old-English "D," dark-blue baseball cap drooped over my eyes and forehead - mainly because I was only knee-high to a grasshopper - as I walked from the parking lot toward the monstrosity that was Tiger Stadium. My parents gave the ushers my ticket and I waddled up the sterile, gray ramps past the yummy smells coming from the pizza stands.
San Antonio - There were two reasons MSU stayed neck and neck with Texas for most of the South Regional final - their names are Paul Davis and Erazem Lorbek. The Spartans' two freshmen kept the No.
With U.S. troops closing in on Baghdad and the timetable of military leaders growing ever more vague, Americans only can expect the U.S.-led war on Iraq to get bloodier. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said Sunday he is unsure about the timetable of this war - especially its ending.
Homeland security site helps prepare citizens Gov. Jennifer Granholm launched a homeland security Web site last week in an effort to better prepare Michigan residents for an emergency.
Shaken and angered by Sunday's events, MSU officials pledged that any student actively involved in the night's melee would be suspended from the university. Police struggled for hours to control a disorderly crowd of at least 2,000, which assembled in the Cedar Village area shortly after the men's basketball team lost to Texas 85-76 in the NCAA Tournament.
In his vitriolic rant in response to John Bice's excellent column, alumnus William Perod falls into the usual trap of the fascist right ("Columnist's choice of discussion awful" SN 3/26). He tells us what a great country the United States is and that all should support the president and military as they fight for our freedoms.
San Antonio - Texas guard T.J. Ford sat at the post-game press conference on Sunday evening with an oversized Final Four cap slung backward on his head to match the oversized grin plastered on his face. He'd earned it. Ford, who scored 19 points and dealt out 10 assists in the Longhorns' 85-76 win over No.
Regarding Andrew Goetz's column about MSU's policies toward same-sex couples ("Recognizing same-sex marriages would solve 'U' problems" SN 3/27), I would have to agree that the standards for faculty and graduate students need to be on par.

March 21, 1999. After the Spartans advanced to the Final Four by defeating Kentucky, about 1,000 MSU fans celebrated the Sunday night victory by running across downtown East Lansing and campus. The revelry moved from Cedar Village apartments to Gunson Street, then Munn field, Shaw Hall and finally back to Cedar Village.

Upon our return to Cedar Village, a couch already in the street was sprayed with lighter fluid and set aflame. We cheered.
