There is something amiss at the Biomedical and Physical Science Building, and it’s going to take a lot of sleuthing and tighter security to prevent what could become a major problem for campus health and safety. For the second time this month, MSU police are investigating missing property from the new building. Eight 4-liter bottles of acetic acid were stolen from a locked stock room in the building’s chemistry department between July 1 and Sept.
It looks as though the possibility of the United States launching an attack on Iraq is inevitable as Congress prepares to authorize President Bush “to use all means that he determines to be appropriate, including force, in order to defend the national security interests of the United States against the possible threat of Iraq.” Capitol Hill is giving in to this war-mongering president and threating world security.
A testing company is attempting to implement a standardized exam for business graduate school students that would compare to the medical boards for doctors or the bar exam for lawyers. The International Certification Institute plans to offer the new exam at sites around the country by April, hoping students will want to take the exam to impress future employers.

I found the editorial about Canada legalizing cannabis to be poorly researched (“Drug talk” 9/18). Smuggling cannabis across the border into the United States would be inevitable.

Bath - True to its title, Neil Simon’s “Fools” gives audiences a stage full of lovable idiots. The Bath Community Theatre Guild opened its season with the Simon comedy Friday at the James Couzens Auditorium in Bath Middle School, 13675 Webster Road. “We were looking for a good, clean comedy, a family comedy without being a children’s show,” director David Brooks said. “Fools” is set in Kulyenchikov, Ukraine (a parallel of the mythical Jewish town of Chelm), a town cursed by a love-struck couple 200 years before the start of the play. When new schoolmaster Leon Tolchinsky (Michael Kostel) arrives in town, he enthusiastically describes the thrill he gets from teaching classical literature and gloats over his new post.
I was happy to see the old cartoon “Student Ghetto” by Adam Miller has been returned to us in the form of “Bachelor Party.” As a former MSU student, I always enjoyed that particular comic strip and have missed it during the last few years.
