While we might not be conscious of life outside of football, there is a film to take attention away from the weekend’s action. From the creative mind of Flint’s Michael Moore, “Bowling for Columbine” premieres this weekend at Celebration Cinema, 200 E.
The race for the Heisman Trophy continues to keep college football fans on their toes. Any given week, a candidate can come out of nowhere and step into the forefront or stumble back into the middle of the pack.

Just when you think you can objectively read The State News, it once again shows its ugly partisan face (“Go Granholm” SN 10/31) and reminds you that no paper can actually be taken for its word.
After weeks filled with intense practice the men’s basketball team finally will suit up for its first exhibition game today at Breslin Center. The Magic Johnson All-Stars, are a full professional squad from Australia, that also brings to the table three players who have won a National Championship at MSU - Earvin “Magic” Johnson (1979), David Thomas and Mike Chappelle (1999). Little is known about the rest of the team due in part to its orientation overseas, and as a result the Spartans will take the court sans a specific game plan. “You have no scouting report or anything, you really don’t know much about them,” senior forward Adam Ballinger said.

The MSU football team’s toughness has been in question during the last three weeks, but its intrastate rival has not escaped similar criticism. After getting overpowered in a 34-9 loss to Iowa last week, Michigan has had to answer more than its share of toughness questions. Wolverine offensive lineman Tony Pape admitted the front five weren’t physical enough against the Hawkeyes (8-1 overall, 5-0 Big Ten) and the Wolverines (6-2, 3-1) need to run the football against the Spartans (3-5, 1-3) when they meet at 12:05 p.m.
There are times when the voting process seems unfair. Tuesday’s ballot will ask Michigan citizens to pick just two of eight hopefuls to sit on the MSU Board of Trustees for the next eight years, but three candidates are worthy of the position - incumbents Colleen McNamara and Donald Nugent, and challenger Cal Rapson. McNamara should win, hands down.
I love you. Those three words have evolved with us from that first crush in elementary school to the quest for a serious relationship and sexual satisfaction in college.

A deeper look into the Libertarian Party reveals that its members are connected more with beliefs of Mid-Michigan residents, two of its candidates say.“The Libertarian Party has the reputation of being the party of sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll,” said Thomas Yeutter, the party’s candidate for the 8th Congressional District seat.
For a mind-expanding evening that offers dark humor and a real look at what MSU theater students are doing, get down this weekend to 49 Auditorium for Jean Paul Sartre’s “No Exit.” English senior Nicole Birkett said performing in this play has been a positive experience for her because of the cast and scriptwriting. “It was amazing.
Whenever psychology freshman Laura Mitus walks around Snyder Hall, she sees the same girls every day.
They’ve got to be feeling just blue, as the maize is tarnished by scandal after scandal. It’s been quite a year since the Spartans thumped the Wolverines in the Wood Shed. The athletic program in Ann Arbor has had quite a booster of support in light of C-Webb and the Flab Five. I’ve got a little tune for those of you feeling down with the maize and blues. Cough.
Marc Stemmer wrongfully criticized The State News for endorsing Virg Bernero for state senator and Gretchen Whitmer for state representative in his letter to the editor “Paper picked wrong candidates in races” (SN 10/30). Bernero did many great things during his time as state representative and as county commissioner, and his youthful energy and enthusiasm will bring him much success in the state Senate.
I cannot believe The State News endorsed Jennifer Granholm for governor (“Go Granholm” SN 10/31). Dick Posthumus has the leadership experience and the record to show he supports students, whereas Granholm is only interested in making empty promises to secure votes. Posthumus helped to develop the Michigan Merit Award scholarship and he ardently opposes Proposal 4.
