And the lord god created both men and women to inherit the Earth. He then saw what he had made, and he knew there was going to be trouble. Every creation story I've encountered, including the two accounts told in the Bible, depicts humans as the pinnacle invention in the metamorphosis of order from chaos. And why shouldn't we be? After all, we have subdued the Earth with our agricultural prowess and conquered the seas and skies with ships and planes.

Mention of MSU's Rodeo Club could have those not in the know envisioning members as bull riders performing death-defying stunts to rowdy crowds. And that scene might be a reality to some club members. But interdisciplinary studies in social science junior Jennifer Hill says seasoned riders aren't the only participants of the group. "We have people from all levels - people who have competed and know a lot about horses and rodeos to people who don't know that much but are interested in learning and finding out about it," she said.

For Paul Roney, watching the news coverage of the failed re-entry Saturday morning rehashed somber memories of the Sept.

After reading Jessica Nowak's recent indictment of her friend's inclination to watch "The Real World" as opposed to President Bush's State of the Union address ("Instead of watching 'Real World,' read a newspaper, get informed," SN 2/3), I can only extend my most cordial sympathies to her dear friend, who deserved not a word of public criticism.
