Napster’s “illegality is undeniable?” Hmm. The illegality of its users might be undeniable, but the legality of Napster itself is not so simple (“Logged off,” SN 2/13). Napster does not possess, transmit or in any way deal with copyrighted material.
This is a response to “Block off flooded paths on campus” (SN 2/13). I thought America reached its lowest intelligence level when I heard the XFL was the highest-rated program its opening weekend - then I read this letter. How many other people did you see struggling for their lives in the river?

By BEN DOBBINS The Associated Press ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Most of the scenes in “A Black Sherlock Holmes,” a silent-film farce made mainly for black audiences in 1918, are obscured by a psychedelic collage of swirls, flashes and bubbles of light. The culprit: nitric acid, a volatile ingredient in movies made before 1951 that corrodes rapidly when exposed to warmth or moistness for years on end. It has left few surviving films from a flourishing period in black cinematography.
Nearly 1,000 Latina women discussed issues of gender and culture Saturday during the El Dia de la Mujer conference held at the Kellogg Center. The conference, which means The Day of the Woman, is an important event for Chicanas and Latinas at MSU, said Marcelina Trevino-Savala, coordinator for Chicano and Latino student affairs. “It gives Latina women a chance to come together and learn from each other about issues that are important to our community such as health and education,” she said. El Dia de la Mujer began eight years ago as an evening reception that acknowledged the achievements of Latina faculty and staff, and has since grown into a day-long event with large numbers of Latinas from the Midwest attending each year. Conference participants attended several workshop sessions throughout the day, dealing with issues such as mother-daughter relationships, activism, self-improvement, health issues and Latinas in the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgendered communities. Communication sophomore Amanda Mikulski presented the mother-daughter relationship workshop with her mother, and said she enjoyed the experience. “We’ve both done presentations at workshops before, but never together,” she said.

Michigan’s low rating in women’s reproductive health is not surprising. The National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, an organization that conducts an annual study on women’s reproductive health, gave Michigan an “F” rating and ranked the state 45th in the nation.
DETROIT - When two teams are as evenly matched as No. 1 MSU and No. 5 Michigan, whichever team has the better special teams usually wins. Saturday night at Joe Louis Arena, the Spartans got that spark. MSU tallied three special teams goals - two on the power play and one shorthanded - in its 4-2 victory over archrival U-M, after both the power play and penalty killing units had struggled recently. Junior right wing Adam Hall did most of the damage, notching the shorthanded marker and one of the power play goals, to boost his season total to 15. “Power play is one of those things you can’t force, sometimes it’s there and sometimes it’s not,” Hall said.
It’s time to move on. I am writing in response to Matthew Hagbom’s letter plastering former President Clinton with accusations about pardoning Marc Rich (“Clinton’s pardon was questionable,” SN 2/15). What a sad world we live in when we only look at politics with a negative eye.
