Don’t ask Deborah Sudduth about cold sores - she’s suffered from them, off and on, for the last 10 years. Two months ago, Sudduth, an executive assistant to the dean in the College of Nursing, participated in a MSU study that cured her cold sores in less than two days. “I’ve never had an experience like that before,” Sudduth said.
Watching Thursday night’s season-ending game against archrival No. 6 Michigan, you wouldn’t have guessed that the top-ranked Spartan hockey squad had quite little on the line. Already assured of a CCHA regular season championship, the Spartans were relaxed but focused in a 3-1 dismantling of the Wolverines (22-11-5 overall, 15-9-3 CCHA). The Spartans (28-4-4, 21-4-3) are 3-1-0 against their rivals this season. After the final horn sounded, commissioner Tom Anastos presented the team with the CCHA regular season trophy, with which the Spartans made a lap around the ice. “I think the fans here tonight can appreciate tonight’s game,” MSU head coach Ron Mason said.

I love music. To me, music at its very best can be described as poetry amplified with a combination of awe-inspiring talent, intelligence with an edge, and sass with a purpose.
Back in the mid-1980s, monster trucks were clunky, heavy contraptions. Now, they’re lighter, high-tech racing machines that can be kicked into reverse with the toggle of a switch, and their fiberglass beds withstand thousands of pounds of rollover pressure. Mike Nitzke, the laid-back, somewhat shy driver of Rambo - and a 2000 Thunder Nationals Champion - spent last weekend at MSU’s Breslin Student Events Center.

At 10 p.m., most MSU students would be kicking back, maybe studying or vegging out to endless banter on “SportsCenter.” But in the basement of the MSU Auditorium this week, the casts and technical crews of “The Diary of Anne Frank” and “Sylvia” were hard at work. “I think 99 percent of people have no idea that plays were ever rehearsed,” said theater Professor Frank Rutledge, director of “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Tuesday night, the cast and crew rehearsed using a mix of mattresses, desks and chairs as a set. Rutledge estimated that actors and technical crew members each spend between five to five and a half hours a day working on the show, which is in its second week of rehearsal. Marcus Olson, theater professor and director of “Sylvia,” agreed. “Of course when we get close to opening the show, that number goes way, way up,” Olson said. The actors spend their hours rehearsing, memorizing lines or researching.

Although it may come as a shock, I agree with Steven Soldwedel when he writes, “The inconsistencies that surround the gender issues in our society are things that need to be dealt with, not suppressed or ignored” (“Men don’t honor penises with week,” SN 2/27). Soldwedel is right.
