But care should be taken that we do not replace our current masters with ones able to do more damage.

For many students looking to stay in Michigan after graduation, it won’t be easy — the state is losing jobs and money and companies are fleeing. Michigan needs to retain graduates to inundate the state with young, skilled workers, but if the jobs aren’t available, the possibility of that remains unlikely. Last week, the State News editorial board wrote an editorial calling for students to begin the job search early if they want to find a position in Michigan, which would benefit the individual who wants to stay here and the economy as a whole.

Police were contacted and tried to make contact with the student in a Rather Hall dorm room but nobody answered. The incident is still under investigation.

If you’ve read some of my previous columns in this paper, you may have guessed that I am not the biggest fan of George W. Bush. I could list the reasons for this, but you are likely quite familiar with them, as two-thirds of the country already recognizes that he’s doing an awful job. Of course, the frightening part of that is that somewhere around 30 percent of the country thinks he is doing a good job, but that’s another story. As we watch the president stumble through the final eighth of his time in power and as spotlight-hungry presidential candidates claw for our attention, I find myself thinking that 15 months is far too long.
