A mandate requiring men from certain Middle Eastern, African and Asian countries to register with the federal government has left some MSU students steaming. In an effort to track "wanted criminals and known terrorists," the measure requires those age 16 and older to register by Friday or face possible deportation.

It's better than a credit card and better than a friend's wallet - they're ASMSU's $100 interest-free loans available to MSU students. But students are abusing the privilege of their loans by not paying them back on time to ASMSU, MSU's undergraduate student government. Many Spartans don't know ASMSU's $100 loan is available to any person with a student ID.

As the nation braces for bioterrorism threats, plans for preventing a smallpox outbreak at MSU remain hazy to university health officials.Between 5,000 and 7,000 state health care workers and public health officials are expected to receive the smallpox vaccine within the next two months - but university officials say that number is unlikely to include university health care staff.The MSU Health Team has attempted to coordinate with county officials on emergency plans, but the county has placed smallpox precautions solely in the hands of hospitals, said Margaret Knapp, the team's chief operating officer."I don't know if any of our providers are going through the smallpox vaccination," she said.

Heading in to their 53rd season of Big Ten men's basketball, No. 25 MSU is looking for a little charity - from the stripe, that is.After shooting 77.7 percent from the foul line in the first seven games of the season, MSU (8-4) has only shot 67.5 percent in the last five, which is below head coach Tom Izzo's standards.Izzo said missed free throws have "really cost us the last two games, as much as anything."Despite MSU's shooting woes, the Spartans are currently tied for fourth (72.8 percent) among Big Ten teams.
