President Bush vetoed a child health care bill last week that would expand federal health care by billions of dollars to poor children because, in his words, the government should focus on helping poor children. It seems he may be confused about the bill — many Democrats feel he is.

I am patiently waiting for the floodgates of marijuana prohibition to burst open so that the fallacies of the entire endeavor can be laid to rest. How many resources, how many lives, how many people flooding our criminal justice system will it take to make it clear that prohibition is a failed policy? Undoubtedly, alcohol and tobacco are bigger detriments to the American society, yet our government realizes the logic of taxation and regulation for those two vices. Do the same thing with marijuana, and I guarantee Detroit, Flint, Saginaw and cities all across the United States will experience a renaissance unseen since the industrial revolution.

Once again, the Student Alumni Foundation has made changes to the Izzone. Before, the Izzone was divided into the yellow and purple sections, which were behind the baskets, and the green section, which stretched along the sideline. Normally, the green section was reserved for those who have been in the Izzone the longest. However, this year, SAF has made the lower bowl one section. According to the Izzone coordinators, “The section will now be more unified, and it makes it easier for everyone to sit with their friends in the lower bowl.”

In response to the editorial, Give new football wristband system a chance (SN 10/4) I would like say that wristbands at football games are a bad idea. There are only two solutions to the problem of students leaving their designated section. The first idea put forward in the piece suggests that MSU should continue with their Gestapo-like policies. If the university does this I will demand that I get a new T-shirt, since we obviously are not one, as we are divided based on which entrance we walk into the stadium. There is an alternative to this. The second choice is to simply get rid of all sections — you know, make it a “student section.” But alas, the university couldn’t do that. That would cost too little to enforce and wouldn’t waste enough of our time. After all, if there is one thing that I have learned from my college career so far, it’s that universities hate efficiency.

The back story College football suffered a major shakeup last week, with five top ten teams losing. Heck, Louisiana State even overtook USC for the No. 1 slot in the Associated Press poll. But here in the Heisman Watch, our No. 1 suffered no such fate. Here are the frontrunner candidates to receive college football’s most prestigious award come December. Last year’s award was given to Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith.
