I was one of the 100 Izzone members who made the trip to Iowa City, Iowa on Saturday. Yes, these 100 Izzone members brought it strong and appeared to have really motivated the Spartan players before the game. Unfortunately, this didn’t translate to performance on the court.
Solve for X. For some students, this phrase is a glimpse into the past. Maybe they fulfilled their mathematics requirement for their major and never looked back.
My greatest fear is rape. In light of last semester’s progression of attacks on campus, the topic is worth addressing — not only for its relevance but also for its complex connection to what dictates our everyday choices and behaviors.
Like all of you, I was absolutely thrilled to spend a lovely $450 at Student Book Store last week. Score! Who wouldn’t rather have a stack of cheaply printed books that will be useless in 16 weeks, than a month’s rent, a round-trip ticket to California, a new bicycle or whatever suits your pleasure?
Tomorrow is salvageable. Yeah, it’s true: Michigan’s primary election comes off as a waste of voters’ time, especially with recently imposed constraints.
The Republican Party’s favorite buzzword is “terrorism,” and during the Republican debates and Iowa caucus nothing changed. It’s a hollow political tool to score votes, but in recent weeks, even I realized terrorism is a real problem. That’s right, I finally came around. However, unlike President George W. Bush and most of the presidential nominees, I believe Americans can fight terrorism individually, as both citizens and consumers.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations require all commercial drivers to be drug tested either before they begin work, after an accident has occurred or sometimes randomly.
I would like to say well done on another thought-provoking article in Religious pride lessens in 2007 (SN 1/10). Even as a born-again Christian and a follower of Jesus, I agree with your feelings of hypocrisy and irrationality among the Christian church.
2007 may be remembered as the year religious criticism went mainstream. Books highly critical of faith and credulity enjoyed startling sales, with many becoming bestsellers. These books sparked a national conversation on the danger of irrational beliefs and further undermined an already eroding level of religious conviction.
A tenured professor might not always be obvious. They run the gamut from fickle cranks to fearless crusaders of education. It’s generally assumed that their experience and status means a higher-quality education for their students.
Capital Area Transportation Authority, a transportation service that many people in the community utilize, was voted best in 2007 for public transportation in the U.S. by the American Public Transportation Association. Whether you are an MSU student living on or off campus, you have probably ridden a CATA bus at least once. For many students, this method of transportation is a convenient and efficient means of travel, whether it's between classes or to an off-campus location such as downtown Lansing or Meridian Mall in Okemos.
There’s nothing like politics to ruin a pleasant New Year’s Eve party. I suppose it might have had more to do with the tipsy and drunk friends of a friend who were suddenly stricken with “the greatest political epitome” ever.
Michigan’s primary will be earlier this election cycle, leaving little time to figure out which presidential candidate has the most commander-in-chief potential. Before Michigan voters make their choice next week for a presidential candidate, take note of what happens in New Hampshire and other parts of the country.
In Huckabee, Obama wins set stage for Mich., (SN 1/7), the article is posited on the belief that the Michigan primary, especially for the Democrats, will bring money into Michigan. This is totally wrong, neglecting common sense in its reasoning that Michigan has any hope left of benefiting from the campaigns or improving its national stance.
Unfortunately, the disaster that has become the Michigan primary is emblematic of the larger problems in the process of how Americans elect their presidents. Michigan Democrats will be able to choose from only Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., former Sen. Mike Gravel, D-Alaska, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, or “uncommitted” in the meaningless Jan. 15 Michigan Democratic primary.
You’ve been going to MSU for a while now, and you know the ropes of the school. But what about the city in which our school is located? Do you know much about what’s going on around us? Do you even know who is the mayor of East Lansing?
As students, staff and faculty return from the holiday break, it’s time to get back into the daily routine of classes, studying and many other activities. But there are a few more things the MSU community should keep in mind — some upcoming events this semester could produce a lot of change later. Here’s a list of major issues and events that are expected to unfold this semester.
I was extremely disappointed, when I read Sean Ely’s article, Judicial boards violate MSU rule (SN 12/6/07), to see that The State News decided to run what amounts to a hit job on Richard Shafer and the judicial system at MSU.
The upcoming construction on Chandler Road has been very poorly planned. Essentially, the project will cut off the large student population living in the Northern Tier from the rest of the community.
Moving the MSU Museum from its beautiful location on campus into a new housing development in East Lansing quite simply makes zero sense.
