Brad Fast was groomed to become a captain of the MSU hockey team since the first day he stepped on campus.A quiet guy hailing from eight hours north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Fast had all the makings of a leader.
Anti-war demonstrators continue to make statements such as "Give peace a chance" and "No blood for oil." But I have serious problems with the logic surrounding both statements. First, those who say "give peace a chance" have no concept of what peace is or what it takes to achieve it; they are living in a fantasy world.

Students performing live dissections on animals in base-level science courses should be given alternatives, some MSU faculty and students say. In light of a case brought up at the University of Illinois-Champaign when a student's grade was penalized after refusing to dissect a live frog, the first policy protecting religious and ethical beliefs at a large university could be implemented in April. "I know of high schools where students that have conscientious objections to dissecting frogs are offered alternatives," said Tom Tomlinson, an MSU professor and director for the Center of Ethics and Humanities in the Life Sciences Building.
While it's almost etched in stone that wide receiver Charles Rogers will be a top-five pick in next month's NFL Draft, other Spartans' fates remain uncertain. For some players with dreams of playing on Sundays, today's MSU Pro Day at the Duffy Daugherty Football Building will give them a chance to showcase their skills to many pro teams for the April 26 draft. Scouts will be in attendance to watch Rogers and other Spartans while they run the 40-yard dash and perform other drills. "I just want a little exposure," wide receiver BJ Lovett said.

It seems that many people who are discussing the protests against The State News' publication of the campustruth.org advertisements are missing the point. The issue at hand is not one about free speech for a couple simple reasons. First, the State News' Code of Advertising Acceptability states the paper will not intentionally publish advertisements "attacking or criticizing directly or by implication, any race, sex, creed, religion, organization, institution, business or profession without firm justification and foundation." So, there is a precedent set that free speech will be suspended if it is hate speech. Second, David Horowitz once attempted to publish an advertisement in The State News presenting his argument against reparations for African Americans, which the paper heartily declined to publish claiming it would incite violence and racism. Therefore, this issue has nothing to do with free speech and instead has to do with a hypocrisy and bias within The State News against Arabs and especially Palestinians.
As long as I don't have to deal with any more female "musicians" making money solely off of their T&A, I'll be happy. That is the thought that ran through my head when I picked up the most recent release by Kalamazoo-area rockers Charlevoix.
To be honest, "make out music" has never really put me in the mood. Not to listen to it, dance to it or
Chicago - If any Spartans are ever feeling a little lonely in Chicago or miss East Lansing, then there's a perfect bar and grill for them to hang out at. Everyone won't know your name, but at the Gin Mill in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of the Windy City, they'll know what it's like to bleed green and white. The Gin Mill is best known for housing MSU fans during sporting events. And the "Welcome to East Lansing," in green lights and pictures of former Spartans Mateen Cleaves and Morris Peterson during the 2000 championship run can make any Spartan feel at home. "MSU fans gravitate toward Chicago," explained John McHugh, who has managed the bar for three years. Want to watch an MSU men's basketball game?

Lawmakers might find it easy to brush aside art programs to balance a gloomy state budget. But a lack of creativity could prove more costly to the state's future than any $1.7-billion deficit if it becomes the price-slashing norm in Lansing. On March 6, Gov.

Delays caused by trains might soon be a thing of the past. U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Brighton, asked the House appropriations committee Friday to set aside $18 million for an underpass project that would relieve congestion on Farm Lane. The university initially estimated the construction and planning costs would be about $25 million, but that number decreased to $18 million after officials modified construction plans. The tracks also intersect Harrison Avenue, but buildings are too close to the street for an underpass to be built. Nearly 60 trains, some up to two miles long, chug along the tracks crossing Farm Lane on campus daily, said Jeff Kacos, director of Campus Park and Planning. Delays can stop traffic for up to 45 minutes when one train has to wait for another to cross.
