Like many other Michigan residents, I know or am related to a lot of people who are a part of the struggling automotive industry. So, like many other Michigan residents, I was excited when I heard that the two leading American automakers — Ford Motor Co. and General Motors Corp. — had increased their sales in the month of January, compared to the same month a year earlier.
Like many MSU students, we forgot to do our homework yesterday. In yesterday’s editorial concerning the 2010 U.S. Census, Students should complete census thoughtfully (SN 2/4), we put forth an uninformed opinion based on faulty assumptions and information.
I guess it’s a good thing that Eric Thieleman is indifferent to torture, because getting through his most recent column was just that. It was so bloated with generic political invective I could have sworn that it was pieced together from crumpled up pieces of paper from Glenn Beck’s wastebasket.
As we near what easily could be considered the most polarizing of holidays, that which takes center stage in most of our minds does so with increasingly less clout. If romance is not lost, it is losing its way. If romance is not dead, it is slowly dying.
East Lansing is home to tens of thousands of MSU students, but is it really home? Although East Lansing Mayor Vic Loomis made an appearance at the rock on Farm Lane to encourage students to complete the 2010 U.S. Census as residents of East Lansing, it is in students’ best interest to thoroughly think through their answers.
George Clooney took a fall off the dock and into the saltwater and one thought ran through my mind as he dried off. What happened to his cell phone? His iPod? His Personal Digital Assistant?

As the Environmental Protection Agency works to strengthen the safe disposal of coal ash, Consumers Energy is working to build another coal plant here in Michigan.
America’s dependence on foreign oil hurts our economy, subsidizes hostile regimes overseas and puts our national security at risk. Rather than continuing to send billions overseas for Middle Eastern oil, new clean energy policies mean spending that money here at home on clean energy sources that will create new jobs, build new industries and make us more secure.
On Jan. 21, a huge change that likely will affect all of the MSU community, past and present, was announced. Within hours, local and national news outlets ran stories about this potentially game-changing announcement.
President Barack Obama addressed various of issues in his State of the Union address last Wednesday, but his new plan to help cut student loans might be the most important topic for students at MSU and across the country.
There is an upside to the new Spartan logo. Every time the Spartans lose a game or match, it can be blamed on the new logo.
For the last 30-plus years in the world, what has been a more “iconic” icon than the Nike Swoosh?
President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address made clear that America faces big challenges both at home and abroad. We need to create jobs for Michigan families that are hurting.
