In his column "Don't leave college as an assembly-line product, think about life" (SN 11/25), Shawn Wozniak claimed he wasn't attacking certain majors.
John Bice is yet another atheist in a long list who seeks to defame his opposition without understanding it, all the while accusing them of the same wrong ("Religious majority doesn't understand atheist views," SN 11/26). Life is not so polarized that anything religious makes it inherently contradictory to science. Creationists do not blindly believe evolution to be false, but rather, believe in creation because they are aware of the inherent flaws in a naturalistic worldview.
Grand Ledge - Retired math Professor John Masterson discovered pottery as an outlet for coping with the loss of a loved one 16 years ago. "I needed something else to occupy my mind when my daughter died in a car accident," he said.

While many people will be warm, cozy and contemplating Thanksgiving dinner, four members of the MSU Sailing Club will be braving the cold Chicago weather as they race against 15 other schools in the 56th annual Timme Angsten Memorial Regatta this weekend.

Now that the Spartans' lackluster football season has come to a close, the squad is desperately seeking a head coach.
This is a festive and hearty dish, appropriate for a holiday dinner. Served with cranberry sauce, it is a perfect Thanksgiving alternative to turkey. 4 small winter squash, halved & seeded 1 cake of tofu, pressed & cut into cubes 3 tablespoons tamari soy sauce 3 tablespoons dry sherry 4 cups small bread cubes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 3 cups chopped onions 3 celery stalks, chopped 4 cups sliced mushrooms (1 pound) 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 cup vegetable stock or water 1 cup pecans, toasted & chopped 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Place the squash halves, cut side down, in an oiled baking pan.
I thought John Bice's column "Religious majority doesn't understand atheist views" (SN 11/26) made an obvious point to the open-minded and objective thinking people of this world. As he stated, depending on where you live, one might be afraid to speak openly why people are "killing" in the name of God. John Lennon was a famous person who wrote a song called "Imagine." He was very brave to suggest that people imagine a world with no religion. Most people live in fear of being ridiculed for not believing, so they lie.

An MSU paleontologist has discovered a new explanation for the extinction of trilobites - the small hard-shelled creatures that existed about 250 million years ago. Danita Brandt, a faculty member in the Department of Geological Sciences, said the extinction can be attributed to inconsistent molting, or shedding, of the trilobites' outer skeleton and their inefficient behavior.
The MSU hockey team has some things to be thankful for this weekend - a healthy roster, a slew of home games next semester and the fact that the NCAA Tournament will expand to 16 teams this year. But the Spartans are not at all pleased at this point in late November.
Shania Twain is one hot woman. Her videos make no sense and her music doesn't apply to people who aren't normally in love, but she looks good, so we don't mind watching - and her voice isn't that bad, either. Molding with society's trend, Twain's music abruptly switched from country to pop-country in 1997 with "Come On Over," launching her career further.
Thank you, Charles Rogers. In an otherwise disappointing football season, you gave Spartan fans a reason to continue watching games. I only wish you would have been able to showcase your skills for a winning team and a New Year's Day bowl game. I think that the catch you made in the back of the end zone against Notre Dame might be the best I've ever seen.
Have you seen the music video for Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama?" At the end of it, she's standing in front of a bunch of television screens depicting the images of the war on terrorism, and she's just going crazy. That is how I feel right about now. As if war with Iraq wasn't enough to deal with, there's another war going on right here, in Michigan. In Detroit, at least 23 youths aged 16 and younger have been killed this year; most of them by gunfire. A study by the Detroit Free Press showed Detroit surpassed 10 other major U.S.
