In a free market society, nothing is free. And when a government needs money to provide its citizens with services, it taxes them. Oftentimes, the wealthier in a society are taxed more than those with less wealth.
In order to save Michigan’s future, we need all hands on deck.
From an early age, we’re taught the value of compromise. Whether it’s learning to share in kindergarten, conflict resolution in elementary school or mastering the give-and-take relationship in marriages, society expects us all to come to a compromise on a number of issues.
It’s an old rivalry. We have a facility for rare isotope beams, they have a library nicknamed “the Ugly.” We have a majestic 9-foot tall statue of Sparty, and they have some pavement tile you can’t step on or you’ll fail your first blue book.
Remember in high school when everyone came together to plan the senior prank? Something so mind-blowing the school would remember it for years to come? Everyone was excited for it, but when the time came, no one took charge. Nothing happened. And time ran out.
Where’s my flying car? I know, I saw that flying car on BBC’s “Top Gear” as well, but that’s not what I meant. That car was stripped down and had nothing in it.

As my May graduation date looms ever closer, I can’t help but think about more than a few regrets about my college experience so far. Sure, I wish I had studied more for a few tests, enrolled in — and dropped — another class or two, and pursued closer relationships with a few of my favorite professors.
Please believe us: We actually don’t enjoy calling out ASMSU. As MSU’s undergraduate student government, ASMSU serves an important function on campus. However, as long as the group continues to make major missteps, we would be failing in our purpose if we did not draw attention to it.
Given the current flu situation, should MSU be more lenient with its attendance policy?

In these trying economic times, we’ve all been forced to cut costs, but it’s not always so easy. For an organization as large as MSU, balancing a budget requires slightly more unorthodox and creative strategies.
