The education of art is a valuable resource for any university. However, when the expansion of art display is costly and has problematic architectural design, some questions naturally arise.
I was one of many Izzone members who sat at their computers Monday afternoon to purchase Final Four tickets. After two faulty links, more than three hours and some tears, I still sat there with my friend with no tickets.
I’m writing in regards to the recent sale of Izzone tickets for the upcoming Final Four. Personally, I believe the Student Alumni Foundation has committed an injustice to its loyal Izzone members.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported recently that unemployment is at the highest rate in 26 years. MSU students have felt the impact as fewer recruiters come to campus and less positions are offered.
MSU’s victory against Louisville for a position in the Final Four naturally caused excitement among Izzone members. As a reward for their dedication to the MSU men’s basketball team — camping out for season tickets, standing throughout the duration of games and coming up with a variety of loud, colorful cheers — the Izzone had a chance to purchase tickets to Saturday’s national semifinal game in Detroit against the University of Connecticut.
The Internet has provided a convenient yet often misunderstood veil for this generation. It allows scholars to research scores of articles with the click of a button. It has been at the forefront of globalization, bridging the gap between different cultures and societies that beforehand would have been tamed by national borders.
Zack Colman believes the college experience would be better without university requirements, as stated in his column, Graduating in four years unlikely plan (SN 3/27).
This is the only avenue I have to get in contact with Tom Izzo. I believe this letter represents the thoughts and feelings of all MSU fans:
Putting people back to work. Getting our economy moving again. Creating the jobs of tomorrow. These are all slogans we’ve been hearing lately, but none of it can happen without a healthy and vibrant work force.

The river bulges its banks. The only option: Get out of its way. As the floodwater rises, volunteers flock to pile sandbags along the water’s edge. Schools close, businesses shut down and daily life grinds to a halt as residents defend their community from an unstoppable force of nature.
There’s something to be said for having good intentions. And with a proposed bill to ban text messaging while driving waiting in the Michigan state Senate, good intentions is all the state Legislature will receive if it passes the bill.
I empathize with Brian Vandeputte’s frustration regarding the lack of coverage of Franklin Gomez’s 133-pound national wrestling title.
Living in the dorms as a college freshman can be a mind-expanding, intimidating experience and could be the first time students have lived on their own. It’s a time to grow, explore and understand different walks of life. Facing these enormous challenges, imagine facing prejudice and judgement about a fundamental fact you can’t change about yourself.
I came to MSU with 30 credits before I even enrolled in a college class because of Advanced Placement class credit. I didn’t have to take prerequisite classes such as Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities and Integrative Studies in Biological Science. I tested out of Economics 201 and 202.
It seems as though a newspaper dies every day. The Ann Arbor News will remain active online with a smaller staff. The Detroit Free Press and The Detroit News announced they will soon follow plans to only deliver print editions to homes three times a week. Newspapers are announcing staff cuts and buyouts across the nation. The prognosis for the industry seems bleak.
Human ingenuity is impressive, and the things that have been created are marvelous. However, technology must be made to offset technology, a principle that has been part of America since the founders.
On behalf of Theta Chi Fraternity and the spring pledge class of 2009, we would like to extend an apology to the family and friends of Josh Parks. Painting the rock on Farm Lane is a traditional part of becoming an active member of the fraternity.
I was shocked and disappointed when I opened the sports section of Monday’s edition of The State News. Instead of gracing the cover with (junior wrestler) Franklin Gomez, the reigning 133-pound national champion in wrestling, you had the women’s basketball team, who barely knocked off Middle Tennessee State at the last second.
