As students remember their dirty laundry, books and appetite for home cooking while they leave campus for the holiday weekend, MSU administrators are asking them to turn off their computers. A link placed on MSU’s Web site Monday outlines why computers should be turned off when not in use, especially while students will be away from campus for extended periods of time. MSU estimates the university can save about $300,000 per year if students and faculty turned off their computers instead of allowing them to run continuously. “If you are going to be away from the university for four days, having it utilize electricity when it is not in use seems to be a waste,” Computer Laboratory Director Lewis Greenberg said.

’Tis the season for no new music and greatest hits releases. Traditionally, record companies don’t like releasing new music by big name artists right before the holidays, so what fans are usually left with are greatest hits compilations.
In response to Peter Antoncic’s letter “Izzo earns salary through attention” (SN 11/15), I would like to say that you do have some good points, but you are gravely mistaken about the overall picture. Yes, having a good basketball team that wins championships does promote growth for the university.

Van Pelt was on campus Monday to talk about his latest honor. “Besides (former MSU head coach) Duffy Daugherty sliding that piece of paper in front of me and the New York Giants giving me the phone call, this has got to be the most exciting moment for me in my sports career,” the Owosso native said. A reception honoring the 1973 second-round NFL draft pick will be held from 6 to 8 p.m.

Chances are, if you own a DVD player you own a copy of “The Matrix.” Along with “Gladiator,” it seems to be one of the movies they really should just package along with every new DVD player.
The passion and motivation of the MSU men’s soccer team was rightly rewarded Monday with a berth in its first NCAA Tournament since 1969.Unfortunately, the team has achieved this historic season with little attention - further exemplifying team members’ fire for the sport.
The problem with the math department is not just the lack of students attempting to seek help from their instructors or the lack of decent professors (“Math problems left unsolved,” SN 11/16). In fact, there is a lack of an equal curriculum between courses. In the math department, two students may take the same course, learn the same material, but have professors who organize their classes differently.
Lansing - This toy story might be more of a horror story. Public Interest Research Group In Michigan released a report Tuesday highlighting various toys that can be considered harmful and fatal for children. The report focused on possible choking hazards and toys made with toxic chemicals. Chemicals such as nail polish with toluene in teething toys are harmful for children younger than 3-years-old.
The math department was a disgrace when I was there, and from what I have heard and read it still is (“Math problems left unsolved,” SN 11/16). The professors are not qualified teachers and while this problem happens at any university, it’s especially apparent at MSU. If you want to solve the problem, quit relying on the teaching assistants and put more emphasis on smaller classes with teachers who happen to be professors, also.
