There’s a lot of people in this world I don’t like. The list gets bigger almost every day. If I bothered to keep track, it would probably be in the thousands by now. No person — no matter how unimportant — is exempt from appearing as part of my running tally.
It’s one of the many unfair aspects of life, but the people with the best connections tend to get the best treatment. The University of Illinois is no different. The university has suspended its controversial Category I admissions process in wake of a Chicago Tribune report that the school gave preferential treatment to applicants with more clout.
We have problems. I don’t think a single person currently living in Michigan, or even the U.S., could deny that fact. The real question, one that will probably be debated for years, is where exactly do the origins of our current problems lay?
Mayor Virg Bernero and the city of Lansing are doing their best to welcome young professionals to the city by starting a promotion that should help them get to meet potential employers.
President Barack Obama has been in office for about half a year. In that time, he has ended both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Confused? You can stop scratching your head now.
More than 200 of the most dangerous people in the world could be moving to Michigan, possibly for the rest of their lives. U.S. Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Menominee, sent a letter to President Barack Obama offering to house the detainees from Guantanamo Bay in Manistique, Mich. If Obama were to approve the site, the prisoners would move into a prison that has been closed since 2007, far from any major cities in the state.
I just wanted to comment on Gabrielle Moore’s column on assisted suicide, Assisted suicide not real answer (SN 6/1).
For months I hadn’t thought about 1963; not even one bad dream. But the editorial by Gabrielle Moore, Assisted suicide not real answer (SN 6/1), brought it all back.
Watching my former resident mentor deliver the commencement speech for his graduation, I couldn’t help but wonder what challenges I will face in my next two years before I become part of what he called “an unbroken line of distinguished alumni.”
A lawsuit stemming from a 2005 car crash could bring a measure of liability to people who provide alcohol to minors. In March 2005, five people, including two who were MSU students at the time, were involved in supplying alcohol to Alexander Hamil, a 19-year-old Marshall, Mich., resident.
There’s a group of people on campus that you might not know much about. They don’t belong to any formal association, but their presence is noticeable. Are you reading this in Espresso Royale? Do you see a lot of wool clothing? Watch out, you’re surrounded by them. In fact, if you’re drinking coffee and reading a college newspaper opinion column, you might be one yourself. They’re hipsters.
MSU’s nontenured faculty likely will start the process of unionizing after approving a new proposal. Faculty members voted Friday to pursue the possibility of unionizing in hopes of bringing more job security to faculty members without tenure. MSU has smartly supported their potential to unionize, even though it could end up costing the university money.
Are you one of those people who get a coffee at Sparty’s, uses their credit card, and then ignores taking the receipt? Are you one of those people who buys gas with cash and then drives away without even wanting a receipt? Or are you one of those people who feels that speed is more important than waiting a second to receive that little slip of paper that is completely worthless in your life?
While there is still a lot to be decided in Washington, D.C., the U.S. could be on the verge of appointing its first Hispanic justice to the Supreme Court. President Barack Obama nominated New York appellate Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace outgoing Justice David Souter, which could finally bring change to a court that sorely lacks diversity.
If you could choose the day you die, would you? A woman in Washington did just that, becoming the first person to take advantage of Washington’s assisted suicide law last week.
President Barack Obama’s administration is trying to improve the image of the United States on the international stage, but are still paying for the mistakes of the previous president.
The Republican Party has received flack from the media and the left for being too “conservative,” while on the other hand there are those who are considered “conservative” stating that the party is becoming too moderate.
Protesters are lining up in Lansing and other cities around the country — all for a proposal from California’s state elections last November. Proposition 8, which passed in the election, outlawed same-sex marriage throughout the state and later became subject to a state Supreme Court review.
It might seem like a contradiction that there could be Democrat student groups at Jerry Falwell’s Christian Liberty University. Well, there were. The private university recently shut down its only liberal student organization, the College Democrats.
Since I’ve been old enough to remember, I’ve suckled at the teat of technology. While my parents were raising my sister, I was being incubated by the warm glow of my television. But I wasn’t raised on cable TV; I was raised on Nintendo.
