I am writing to voice my frustration with the continued discrimination at MSU. Currently, any student, faculty or staff member can be discriminated against because of one's real or perceived gender.
Kudos to MSU's undergraduate student government and Residence Halls Association for joining the campus safety discussion that has risen since a Case Hall freshman was held at knife point last month. If there is an authority of campus safety issues, it is the student body who is affected by such measures.

Breaking up is always hard to do - but staying broken up seems to be just as hard for some bands. Toad the Wet Sprocket's split in July 1998 seemed permanent at the time, and loyal fans seemed to think so too.
Let there be light, and it's about time. Three years into its existence, light is finally being shed on the pedestrian safety problems in the Northern Tier. While it's nice to see some work being done in the Northern Tier, it's quite overdue. The fact that the community is shared across two cities makes their slow efforts doubly disappointing. Much-needed street lights were turned on this past weekend in the community of condos and apartments just north of Lake Lansing Road. The Northern Tier community grew too fast for its own good and, as the flow of tenants increased, lighting remained stagnant. Currently, there are no sidewalks, crosswalks or pedestrian lights.

Michigan's public universities should expect a significant package of cuts when Gov. Jennifer Granholm presents her budget proposal for 2003-04 on March 6. "I do think there is fat in universities and colleges," Granholm said. MSU Trustee Donald Nugent said he can't speak for other universities, but MSU has been improving their efficiency while cutting costs over the last couple years. "MSU does not have that fat," he said. In recent years, the state has steadily increased appropriations to universities, Granholm said, adding universities can always increase tuition to maintain their spending. Hopefully, Granholm won't rely on tuition hikes to justify cutting higher education, Nugent said. "That's an unfair tax on students and their families," he said.

They sound like they're from an Indiana Jones movie, but there weren't any archaeologists looking for the Dead Sea Scrolls when they were found in 1947 - no one even knew they existed. That changed when a young shepherd and his friends stumbled upon the ancient artifacts while searching for a lost goat in a cave near the Dead Sea. Like the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail, the scrolls are a sort of missing link to ancient religion.

This letter is in response to Brian Charlton's article about the proposed bus way between Crescent Road and the Farm Lane commuter lot ("Project would create bus way, reduce on-campus traffic," SN 2/18). What Charlton failed to mention is that this area is more than an Ag Expo field - it is an unofficial dog park used by hundreds of local residents.
