I haven’t been this excited in awhile. Not since seeing Slash’s band open for AC/DC have I anticipated a concert more.
After experiencing a setback Sunday against Ohio State, the men’s soccer team welcomes a break from its rigorous Big Ten schedule when it takes on Oakland today in Rochester.The Spartans (7-3 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) have struggled against intraconference opponents this season, gaining their only conference victory in a 1-0 win over Northwestern.“I think we need to get back on a good note,” MSU head coach Joe Baum said.
Women‘s soccer bounced back from its loss to Penn State to earn a convincing 4-0 decision over Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne Tuesday at Old College Field. The two teams traded scoring opportunities and played an evenly matched game the first 15 minutes. Momentum soon swung the Spartans’ way as junior forward Tiffany Laskowski had the game’s first score, putting one past IPFW goalkeeper Rachel Poor at 17:17. From that point on MSU owned the match, outshooting the Mastadons 18-2 the first half and 27-7 for the game. “It was one of those games where it was easy for our team to overlook them.” Spartan head coach Tom Saxton said.
Like most MSU students, I value the many liberties America gives me. I am happy to have choices that I would not have in other countries.
The university community is right to begin discussing whether it is ethical for MSU to have some of its money invested in Israeli companies. On campuses throughout the nation - including the University of Michigan, where students recently lashed out because administrators refused to divest in Israel - students are beginning to question why universities have investments in an area riddled with conflict. The movement is similar to one that helped lead to the end of Apartheid in South Africa.
I am troubled by comments like the ones expressed in the letter to the editor “Dems need to be voice of November” (SN 10/8). It’s blatantly obvious that people who think like this have a very skewed view of reality.
Gaping holes in staffing have plagued ASMSU since the beginning of the school year, and the group’s association director said he hopes the problem will be remedied by Oct.
After reading the letters to the editor “Campaigners right to join pro-life rally” and “‘U’ should choose to vote pro-life” (SN 10/8), it seems obvious people are missing the point of what “pro-choice” means. Being pro-choice means believing in one of the main principles this country was founded upon, which is the freedom to make your own decision, and in turn the freedom to agree or disagree with anybody else’s decision.

During the summer of 1999, I had a chance to check out a free Ozomatli show. The venue for the Spanish hip-hop group’s show couldn’t have been any cooler: San Francisco’s Amoeba Records, the largest independent music shop on the West Coast. After returning from the show, I started listening to Ozomatli’s self-titled album and noticed something right away that hadn’t been at the show. That something was the attention-grabbing, haunting voice of rapper Chali2na, who appeared as a special guest on numerous tracks. That album remains a favorite of mine, largely because of the distinct vocals and lyrical talent of Chali2na. And with Jurassic 5’s newest album, “Power in Numbers,” the effect is very much the same.
