So far 2003 has been an awful year for the MSU men's basketball team. But luckily for the Spartans (9-6 overall, 1-2 Big Ten), it is only 17 days into the new year and there is plenty of time to turn things around. Since the beginning of the year, MSU is 1-3.

Trustees' free stuff can help budget
So it appears Trustee Joel Ferguson does not want his bowl rings ("For sale: Trustee's bowl rings," SN 1/15). But someone seems to think people will pay $1,400 each for them. Here's an idea: why don't all the trustees get together and gather up all of the free things MSU has given them over the years.

SN misrepresents 'U' as all liberals
I do not believe The State News is doing a good job representing the college as a whole. Not all of us students are liberals who blame all of the problems we now face on George W.

Phone free
The time is overdue for Spartans to receive a simple lesson in the English language. Contrary to what seems to be the popular belief, the words "library" and "telephone booth" are not synonymous.

Rush for parking spots creates road dangers
While working an event at the Union last month, parking attendant Grant Humerickhouse leapt from the path of a swerving driver - as the car accelerated to evade a parking ticket. Humerickhouse didn't expect to complete daring maneuvers when he began working for the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety's special event parking more than a year ago. But it wasn't the first time the criminal justice sophomore - or fellow special event workers - have stood in the path of an angry driver.

I think if people actually thought about it, they would realize such things as the Immigration and Naturalization Service's registration policy for men of "certain" countries that happen to be predominately populated by Muslims is not merely the national security measure it appears to be.
