They asked for $600,000.They did $1,000 better.The MSU community raised more than it had planned to collect for the Capital Area United Way, officials announced Thursday morning. “It highlights the fact that we have a community here that is very supportive of efforts like the United Way,” said Angela Brown, director of University Housing.The two-month campaign came to a close Monday, and the university’s Community Charitable Campaign exceeded its goal with help from residence halls, student organizations, retirees and university staff members.The MSU campaign is one of several held in the Lansing area, and all are helping to fund nearly 70 service-providing agencies such as the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity and MSU Safe Place.Marylee Davis, coordinator of the MSU campaign, said she was very pleased with student efforts.“I saw that students were

In response to two letters disagreeing with the intelligence level of Texas Gov. George W. Bush and his supporters (“Bush supporters are not dumb,” and “Texas Governor is not half-witted,” SN 11/14), I’d have to say I question what media coverage you’ve been watching.
Something has to give.When No. 1 MSU and No. 7 Western Michigan square off in a CCHA showdown tonight at Munn Ice Arena, it will be a battle of two streaking hockey teams with contrasting styles of play.The defensive-minded Spartans, winners of six straight, will try to tame Western’s offensive juggernaut that has won seven consecutive games.Combined, the teams are 15-2-2 overall and are two of the hottest teams in college hockey.“I have a few buddies on their team and they were telling me all summer how good they were going to be,” MSU sophomore goaltender Ryan Miller said.

Black Student Alliance proposed eight community standards at a Thursday town hall meeting that members say would help prevent future conflicts at social events sponsored by black student organizations.One of the standards suggests only MSU students be welcome at on-campus events sponsored by those organizations.The group hopes to make the town hall meeting an annual event for black students to share ideas.“The whole purpose of this meeting is to first, identify the issues, and second, to develop the community standards that we think are important for us to have productive and safe events,” said Murray Edwards, the senior coordinator for the Office of Minority Student Affairs.“If we begin to have high expectations of each other, this will work.”The need for standards became evident after several recent violent events broke out at black student organization-sponsored events, some say.And if the fights continued, many thought the student organizations would no longer be allowed to host events on campus.BSA president Tonya Upthegrove said most black student organizations do not have houses or other places off campus to cater to their needs and are often at the mercy of the university.“If something goes down, it’s going to hit us, and it’s going to hit us hard,” she said.

The MSU men’s basketball team is like a bunch of kids on Halloween who are given apples at the beginning of trick-or-treating.The kids are glad it’s Halloween, but can’t wait to get the “real” candy in their bag.For the Spartans, the real candy is the regular season, and their two non conference games against Northern Michigan and the Harlem Globetrotters were the apples.

On an average day, Danny Black goes through two to four personality changes. The DeWitt resident might be a clown, a doctor, a short (stripping) sheik or a singing telegram.

While the future of the Electoral College remains in question nationwide, ASMSU wants to make sure that students’ voices are heard by state and national legislators - at least electronically.The university’s undergraduate student government has established a Web-based discussion on its Internet site, www.asmsu.org, where students can post and respond to messages about the use of the historic Electoral College.If a significant amount of opinions are displayed on the site, they will be compiled and forwarded to the Michigan Congressional Delegation, said Jeff Ziarko, ASMSU Academic Assembly director of university, governmental and budgetary affairs.“We will send the comments to elected officials provided that we get a substantial number of postings,” Ziarko said.Criticism of the Electoral College has become much more heated since the Nov.
