College thespians often don't get recognition for their ceaseless hard work and effort.But that's about to change, as six students from MSU's Theatre Department are in Evansville, Ind.
If Steve Lovelace paid back his $100 ASMSU loan last semester, he wouldn't have shelled out extra dollars in late fees. Lovelace, a Spanish senior, is among 300 MSU students who received the interest-free loan from the organization last fall - and among the 87 who didn't settle the debt on time. Late fees for the loans increased this semester because some 30 percent of students that took out loans last year did not pay them back, officials from MSU's undergraduate student government say. Lovelace, a College of Arts and Letters representative for Academic Assembly, took out the loan in October and explained he "needed money, but not for any specific purpose," but he "just didn't feel like coming up" to the organization's office located in Student Services. Since 1976, loans have been granted at the beginning of each semester to students who then have six weeks to repay. Before winter break, ASMSU's student assembly voted to raise the late fees which makes it the first time the organization has changed the system.
By nature, Steve Clark is usually quick with a quip. And the talkative senior hockey player apparently amused head coach Rick Comley with a comment during a game this weekend at Lake Superior State. "We all laughed because he said he played more that particular night than he did his first three years here," Comley said with a chuckle. Of course, that's a huge hyperbole on Clark's part.
The University of Michigan is leading college campuses in rallies against the war with Iraq. Why aren't we? In light of Army Reserve units dispatching to the Middle East, this weekend an estimated 600 people will gather in Ann Arbor to protest at a two-day conference.
It's not fried, it's not salty, it rarely includes red meat - scared? You shouldn't be.

Thank you Charles Rogers for the two great years you gave us at MSU. Thank you Charles Rogers for all of the records you broke in your time here, including the NCAA mark for consecutive games with a touchdown.
I've always stood in awe of science. Granted, my brain's lack of ability to understand basic chemistry might have something to do with my amazement, but that does not negate the fact man's technological achievements almost never cease to wow me. As for the times when scientific breakthroughs do not inspire my jaw to drop to the ground, I usually find myself sick to my stomach. The most recent "scientific breakthrough" to make my insides twist like a pretzel was the Dec.

Just a comment on the record reviews. When I saw Sponge with four "CDs," ("Sponge triumphs with new release," SN 1/7) I thought to myself, "Wow, they must have really put out a good album." Then, I saw the review for the "Bright Eyes" album only had 1 "CD" ("'Lifted' leaves listeners feeling everything but," SN 1/7). I then realized that the reviewer doesn't understand the concept of being creative, doing something different and doing something worthwhile.
It's been nearly 40 years since Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels were atop the charts with hits like "Devil With a Blue Dress On," but the 58-year-old lead singer still knows his music."I like most of the music I hear," Ryder said.

Welcome to mini East Lansing. This quickly growing junior-size city is located on a plot of land shared by the college town and Bath Township.
Lisa Chuchran learned this week $100 doesn't go a long way when it comes to buying course books. In her case, $97 bought her just two books - and she wasn't even close to concluding this semester's shopping spree.
The light-blue walls and strings of holiday lights created an upbeat atmosphere as I entered the roomy dining area of the India Palace in search of a host to seat my friends and I.
I'd like to thank the academy - no seriously, thanks a lot. Thanks for another year of firework stage shows, Britney and Justin after-party gossip and a post and pre-show red carpet walk with that hot babe, Kurt Loder. Thanks for recognizing those "artists" who bring in millions for their record companies, then disappear from the planet three years later. But before I throw popcorn at the television and complain about who won and who should have won, we've gotta look at the nominees and make the best of it. What would the Grammies be without him?
After loaning out the Big Ten Championship trophy for a season, the Spartans will face tough tests in their quest to bring the prize back to MSU for a fifth time in six seasons. From the top to bottom of the conference, there isn't a clear cut championship favorite.
