Your Answer for Question 1:
One convention is to return the s registers to the original values when a procedure call is finished.  Another convention is that the t registers should not expect to have the same values after a function call.

Your Answer for Question 2:
We wouldn't see infinite loops very often if we eliminated recursion.  Scheme uses a lot of recursion. And infinite loops were a problem.  We wouldn't need the MIPS command jal? if we didn't use recursion?  I'm really not sure... But this is a shot.

Your Answer for Question 3:
Nothing's really bad.  At first i was confused because a lot of the MIPS commands could actually be made with a bunch of other MIPS commands.  It seemed like it contradicted RISC philosophy.  But my TA told me that they were actually not really there, but in fact translated later into the more simple MIPS commands.  This really bothered me.
