Lansing - As Daniel Mayen put a scoop of mashed potatoes on his plate, he explained the two most important reasons for being at Christ Lutheran Church on Tuesday night.
Now that the Spartans' lackluster football season has come to a close, the squad is desperately seeking a head coach.

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.

Starting two freshmen and two sophomores, the MSU women's basketball team learns a new lesson every game. Tuesday night the lesson was defense, as the Spartans fell to Toledo 58-55 at Breslin Center. "We really needed to pick it up toward the end, our defense was just no good," sophomore guard Kristin Haynie said.
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.
The Spartans hold their destiny in the palm of their hands. After picking up two emphatic victories last weekend, the MSU volleyball team has two games left on its schedule.
What copycats! Pieing of professors has a long history at MSU. In 1979, the "Chefs" began to "hit" (pie) professors.

East Lansing officials are preparing for an expected executive order from Gov. John Engler that will dramatically cut funding to the city's vital services to help balance an ailing state budget. Engler is expected to sign several orders in early December that would reduce most of the state's budgets.
Let's put the jokes aside. Yes, in "Mario Party 4," you are playing with some of Nintendo's most famed characters, as well as some new ones, which may seem more appropriate for your younger siblings than you.
I was appalled to read The State News editorial "Bank buster" (SN 11/22), which basically belittled Gov.
