Well, almost everyone. If you're an undeclared under- graduate who is thinking about an independent concentration program in Organizational Studies, then the University no longer has a place for you. LSA Dean Shirley Neuman recently sint- out a letter stating that the organizational studies ICP "will cease to be available as a 'con- centration' choice for students, effective immediately." Neuman contends in the letter that the existing program "lacks a clear thematic content" and "has never been through the necessary cur- ricular and faculty review." She also cites the fact that the pro- gram has little faculty oversight as a reason for discontinuing it. According to Neuman's letter, there is currently a committee of both LSA and School of The program didn't need to be canned while it is improved Information faculty drafting a proposal to create an official pro- gram similar to . the Organizational Studies ICP that would have "appropriate faculty oversight." Neuman said she expects some type of program to be reinstituted by next fall, but that is hardly a guarantee and stu- dents not currently majoring in organizational studies should not have that option taken away from them before an official program is instituted. The purpose of allowing ICP's in Organizational Studies was to let ambitious, hard-working stu- dents concentrate in a program not currently offered at the University, but that is becoming an increasingly popular field in higher education. This program has been successful in the past because students who chose to participate in it were motivated enough to pLu'rsue their interests and had managed to be success- ful even without the same faculty oversight as other programs. Neuman has said LSA is plan- ning on reopening the op ortuni- ty to study organizationa studies through an of icial concentration program, but such a popular field of stud should not have been shut of to new students in the mean time. Since the interest is there, it is the University's responsibility to pony up and" provide a well-designed major or interested students. The 'problems,' such as lack of facul- ty oversight, are fixable. Diversity is an essential ele- ment in a great education and it is fantastic that the University can unite so many kinds of peo- ple in the common purpose of higher learning. However, this diversity should not stop in the course guides; if LSA continues to limit its students' academic opportunities and to attempt to merge with and tightly control smaller units, the unfortunate homogenization of the its cur- riculum is inevitable.. Where's the keg? New bill invades privacy in attempt to curb drinking B clieve it or not. I really do have sympathy for the stu- dents at Michigan State University. 4 These poor, simple kids have to live with this huge chip on their collective shoulders, just because their school is located so close in proximity to the University of Michigan. Can you imagine how that must feel, to know that no matter how hard you try, you'll always find yourself in a maize and blue shadow? I think it's a shame that State that doesn't' Oct the attention it deserves. It's far and away the biggest accredited institution in the greater East Lansing area. It boasts some of the finest students that Midland has to offer, and its proud alumni organization includes C some of the most suc- K cessful Countryfresh distributors in northern Michigan. But for those poor bastards that call them- selves Spartans, attending State must be like living in Canada: They try so hard to be like the United States, but when it all cones down to it, we'll always laugh at the way they say "about." Or perhaps it's more like living in Mexico, where they look long- ingly at the promised land of Ann Arbor but are forever turned away by the border patrols of academic competence. That's why I feel so slightly bad for Michigan State students, because they're always going to be plaving second fiddle. And I mean that literally - the kids in East Lansing will still be a'fiddling and a jigging round the old barn long after I've bought the proverbial farm. That's not to say, though, that there haven't been some great sec- ond fiddlers throughout history. There's no shame in saying that you're the Art Garfunkel of' Michigan colleges. I mean, Garfunkel had a great voice and he sang really well. On all those tunes that Paul Simon wrote. And what about Tito .Jackson? Sure, Michael may have invented the moonwalk and recorded some of the most successful albums of the '80s, but, damn, Tito had a nice fro, and even that's something to hang your "S" hat on (though not literally). Here's the deal: State is the Goose to our (u Maverick, the Jazzy Jeff to our Fresh Prince. the Burt Ward to our Adam West. State is the Jagger-Richards to our Lennon-McCartnev, the Trix Rabbit to our Cap'n Crunch, the lambskin to our latex. State is the Damon to our Keenan Ivory, the Enulish Leather to our Old Spice, the sadist to our masochist. State is the White Castle to our...no, let's just say that State is White Castle and leave it at that. State is the John to our Ponch, the Scram Slam to our All- American, the Markv Mark to our Dirk Diggler. State is the Sammy Ilaggar to our David Lee Roth - wait, change that: State is the IS Gary Cherone to our 1a David Lee Roth. State is the "Look Who's Talking, Too" era Travolta to our "Welcome Back, Kotter" era Travolta (which means that Ferris State is the guy who played IHlorshack). State is the Trammell to our Whitaker to Evans to retire the Blue Jays in the sev- oh, I'm sorry, I was just reliving the glory days of October '87. State is the Buddy to our Charles, the Charles to our Admiral Powell, the Admiral Powell to our -oh, c'mon, who am I kidding:? Charles was in charge, of both our days and our nights, our wrongs and our rights. State is the Bill S. Preston esquire to our Ted "Theodore" Logan, the Sajak to our Trebck, the St. Stanislaus to our St. Ignatius (ooh, snap!). State is the "Kokomo" to our Good Vibrations," the velcro wallet to our "Bad Notherfucker" wallet, the Gobots to our 'ransformers, (I'm sorry, that Gobots reference was out of' line.) State is the orey Haim to our Corey Feldman (a moot point.?), the Mr. Pibb to our Dr. Pepper, the "Are those Bugle Boy jeans you're wearing?'" to our "Why,' yes, they are. The bottom line is that when it comes to respect, State will always be the Otis Redding version, and we'll always be Aretha's - and we'll never, ever miss a chance to sock it to them, sock it to them, sock it to them. - Chris Kula can be rveaked via e-Mail at c utl@umiichnedu. 1 charles Rogers WR 2 Herb Haygood WR 3 Ryan Van Dyke QB 4 Drew Young LB 5 Lorenzo Guess S 5 Nate Keusch WR 6 Jabari Hendricks DE 7 Lavaile Richardson WR 7 Phinney Masoner K 8 T.

It was hung after Michigan's 34-31 loss last year in East Lansing, and has been feared ever since. Each player is made brutally aware of' What happened to last year's No. 3 football squad after they dropped the big name to arguably their biccest rival. "You wiIl see on Saturday how much these two teams hate each other,' defensive lineman Larry Foote said. It woeas unspoken hatred at yesterday's Niichican football luncheon. The rivalry talk was fiee-flowing, but coach Carr did every- thing in his power to eliminate the trash talk- inc. Each player was escorted out of the press conference so that the media would not have an opportunity for one-on-one interviews with the players. In the past, quotes have been taken from the players and posted up in the opposing teams' lockerrooms as incentive for ictorv. "I don't read to much into the quotes but I know that coach Carr talked to sdme of the players about what they said,' offensive line- man Jeff Backus said. "Every week he says be careful of what we say. I know that last year some quotes did et mixed up that wasn't good for us." After last season's loss Carr was determined to not have this happen again. "YoU always have to be concerned as a coach ." Carr said. "I told them that they had to be concerned xxith That they are saying because some people will try to hurt their chances to xx in. As a native of Ietroit, Foote said its hard to be profCssional with the in-state rivalry game but did his best vesterdav to keep a straight face. KEEPING M' clams up for big week Foote has alvavs been a Michigan fan even before he became a W'olcerine and remembers fondly being in the stands for the 45-29 thrash- ing of the Spartans in 1996. Foote added that he would nexer wear green, even on St. Patrick's Day. The same thing could not be said for Backus yesterday who wore a creen shirt to the lun- cheon. lie said that it wasn't intentional, just a lack of clean laundry. But he made sure to change immediately. Backus, a fifth year senior, is determined not to leave Michigan on a loss to the Spartans. "A lot of myv friends were in last year's grad- uatin class, Backus said. "They said that wanted to get (the State game) back. They couldn't believe their final game to State was a loss." Backus added that one way to chance things around this year was to establish the running came. That was the Wolverines downfall in last season's loss - they finished the game with only six rushing yards. The Wolverines already have as many rush- inc vards this season as they did all of last sea- son. And Anthony Thomas is currently ranked seventh in the nation in runninc. - But he will be up against some stiff compe- tition in Michican State's T.J. Duckett this Saturday. "Duckett reminds me of Ron Dayne." Foote said. "But 1; can move better laterally than Davne." But with everything that was talked about or at least asked vesterdav, one item barely came up: Michigan State's 0-3 record in conference play. Evervone knows that doesn't matter this weekend. "YoU throw out all the records," offensive lineman Maurice Williams said. "It 's who wants to win most.

Ducke RECEPTIO Kevin Kas Vinny Suth John Stan< Look out keg partyefans If a bill introdutced by state representa- tive Sandy Caul (R-Mt. Pleasant) passes the two state houses, buying a keg may mean more paperwork and responsibility. Unfortunately, the paperwork burden will fall on the paying customer, the responsi- bility will go to the innocent busi- nessman and the ultimate effect of the bill could leave serious reper- cussions. The bill, in it's current stage, would require any person purchas- ing a keg to leave their name, address, phone number, drixver's license number, as well as the address for which they are purchas- ing the keg. One of the biggest flaws in Caul's House bill is the assumption that the detailed regis- tration of kegs will curb binge and underage drinking - especially at colleges and universities. If passed, the law would have two negative consequences. First, police could use the information required by the bill to discover who is throwing a party and then break the party up.
