Junior transfer redshirted for season, postseason in jeopardy

Junior outside hitter Sara Villwock, who has been sidelined with a foot injury since the end of September, will be given a medical redshirt for this season. MSU head coach Chuck Erbe said he thought long and hard about the decision, making it within the last week. "She's making good progress, but for her to be back in time to really play a substantiative role for our team - she's not going to be in any position to do that," Erbe said. "She's still not cleared to go full-bore and jump and be in practice.

Columnist correct about hunger issue

I want to applaud Shawn Wozniak for his honest and unexpected column about the pervasiveness of hunger in the world ("Hunger not just time between meals," SN 11/12). While socialization of food and arguments of natural selection are complex and tangled issues, there is one simple fact everyone needs to know: There is enough food to feed everyone in the world, yet an astonishing number of people go days or weeks without proper nutrition. Why? There are several reasons - consumer culture, our agricultural and political systems - but knowing all of the reasons is impossible, and you don't need to in order to do something about it.

MSU Scuba Club discovers a new world underwater

Decked out in scuba gear and protective head gear, Katie Frank glides through the water to intercept a pass. Out of the corner of her eye, she spots teammate Nick Kwiatkowski on a breakaway farther up the pool. Using her specialized wooden stick, she leads the orange, lead-weighted puck to him. He cradles it on his stick and maneuvers past a few opponents, who cut through the water with awesome effort in an attempt to block Kwiatkowski's path. One player is forced to stop and rise up from the 5-foot-deep water to blow some water out of his snorkel, but returns to the game within a few seconds. With little effort, Kwiatkowski fakes left, then flips the puck toward the metal goal. As the puck nails the back right corner of the goal, the players stop, in mid-action, and almost instantaneously rise above water to discuss the play. Following a short break to catch their breath, they line up at opposing ends of the lap pool in IM Sports-Circle.
