As a third-year veterinary student at MSU’s College of Veterinary Medicine, I consider myself an advocate for the health and welfare of animals. That being said, I find it alarming that MSU is hosting the Animals & Society Institute Fellowship Program (Human-animal program selects MSU as host, SN 6/5).
Like most conversations I have with my younger sister, convincing her to register to vote has been yet another uphill battle.
It’s no secret we’re knee-deep in an unpopular war. Our next president had better have a good plan for dealing with our friends and enemies abroad and the experience to back it up. Some are convinced Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., just doesn’t have what it takes to represent America on the international stage.
Noam Chomsky and Condoleezza Rice don’t agree on much. I purchased Chomsky’s “Imperial Ambitions: Conversations on the Post-9/11 World” Monday, along with a copy of Foreign Affairs magazine, in which President Bush’s Secretary of State wrote an essay.

Ten cents might not seem like a lot of money, but for 32 years the dime has been encouraging people to return their aluminum cans and plastic bottles to the grocery store rather than tossing them into the trash.
It looks to be a trend in our country right now — the more we struggle to keep our heads above water, the more we seem to be drowning.
It may feel like a cliché in 2008, but it doesn’t seem without merit to critique the ongoing relationship with the media and those who find themselves influenced by it every day.
The Dow Chemical Company is paying Michigan universities to do studies to demonstrate that their manufacturing toxins are doing no harm . We need independent studies that Dow is not funding for objectivity.
It seemed like the idea of telling people where they are allowed to sit ended with the bus boycott but sadly, that might not be the case.
Francisco Jose de Goya taught me something about culture. Visiting his exhibit at the Prado Museum in Madrid last week, I perused the work of a man who acknowledged human legitimization of cruelty.
