Ann Arbor - Coming into Friday night's rivalry matchup with No. 8 Michigan, the MSU hockey team stressed the importance of playing well in the first 10 minutes of the game. Unfortunately for the Spartans, they couldn't even finish their first shift before they were trailing 1-0.

The thought that the National Terrorism Alert System is propaganda is a quick jump to conclusions ("Terror propaganda," SN 2/11). The argument that it is in place to evoke positive feedback for the war on Iraq is a poor attempt at tying two unrelated war fronts together.
If Nenad Gajic scores against Michigan tonight, his parents, Lazo and Helen Gajic, are going to stick out like sore thumbs at Yost Ice Arena. After all, Nenad is an MSU hockey player, and the Spartans and their parents are considered enemies in Ann Arbor.
The Dollar Nightclub could be as good as bankrupt after allowing itself to be used as the set for a wild and controversial video shoot on Wednesday.
Five dollars is not a "low price" for women to pay so that men can make money off of them ("Born to be Wild," SN 2/13). Each "Girls Gone Wild" tape costs $10-$20, but the women featured in it don't see any of that money.
Freshman forward Liz Shimek might have only scored eight points Thursday night, but her final bucket was the most important one of the game. With 7.7 seconds left on the clock and MSU trailing by one, Shimek went up strong to the basket and came down with the game-winning points, propelling the Spartans ahead of No.

Gasoline prices in the Lansing area have soared to some of the highest levels recorded in nearly two years, and a AAA spokesperson said it "seems unjustified." On Tuesday, a gallon of regular unleaded, self-serve gasoline sold for $1.79 in some area stations - one of the highest prices seen in 18 months, AAA Michigan spokesman Jim Rink said. The AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Index said the statewide average gas price rose to $1.67 this week. The index, which surveys 300 gas stations across the state, also reported the average price per gallon for self-serve, regular unleaded gasoline last February was $1.21. "Typically, this is the time of year when gasoline prices are at their lowest," Rink said.

This is in response to Mike Wilder's letter, "Race Definitely Equals Hardships," (SN 2/12). There are plenty of black Americans who do not live in the inner city and have made very successful lives for themselves.
Staggering into the Big Ten season with back-to-back losses has forced the Spartans to dance on the NCAA Tournament bubble much of the season. And in just over a month - on March 16, to be exact - the field of 65 will be released.
Ann Arbor - Imagine you are Northern Michigan goalie Craig Kowalski. You have done everything but stand on your head to keep your Wildcats within a goal of perennial CCHA powerhouse Michigan. But late in the third period, a rogue Michigan blast slips by you for a 3-1 Wolverine lead - and the game is now out of reach. Hanging your head in despair, you stare at the ice and realize where you are: the University of Michigan's Yost Ice Arena. For an opposing goalie, just call it hell frozen over. And the fans gleefully start their ritualistic torment.
For someone who never in her career has had the pleasure of defeating Michigan before Jan. 30, nothing would be sweeter for senior forward Syreeta Bromfield than a season-sweep of the Wolverines during her last year as a Spartan. Bromfield and the rest of the MSU squad (13-8 overall, 6-4 Big Ten) will get that chance when the two teams match up at 2:15 p.m.
While most women across the nation will enjoy being showered by gifts and pampered this weekend, Annika Sorenstam will be sweating. This is not a nervous sweat, yet pouring forth from intense training as Sorenstam prepares for her PGA debut three months away. No, that's not a typo, she's competing in the PGA, not the LPGA. Sorenstam, who accepted an invitation Wednesday to play in the Colonial in May, will be the first woman to compete on the PGA Tour in nearly 60 years.
Golf tournament ends after second round The MSU women's golf team tied with Georgia for 10th place in the 18-team Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge.

Junior Allison Fouch was MSU's top performer, tied for 22nd place after tallying a two-round score of 154 (74-80). Pepperdine finished atop the leader board, followed by No.
Bill and Emily Burns fondly remember making walks across campus into romantic retreats and eating Valentine's Day dinner on a tight budget at area restaurants when they were MSU students. "We have so many fond memories of campus," said Emily Burns, a 1995 graduate.
