Who wouldn’t like a candidate who preaches from the heart and refuses to pander to special interest groups? Someone who takes ideologically consistent positions that defy political convention? Someone who is supported by a loyal cadre of grassroots followers?
As a person who loves both sushi and well-written reviews of restaurants, I was immensely disappointed in the reviews of five sushi restaurants in Sushi showdown (SN 1/15). I understand the reviews were intended to be small in scale — the reviewers only had a California roll at each place.
The 13th Amendment states “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
Come on. Don’t be shy. You might have noticed our almost nonexistent letters to the editor section that’s only sputtered out a few readers’ opinions so far this semester.
Americans are promised freedom from “cruel and unusual punishment.” Let’s try keeping it that way.
Starting Jan. 31, officers at the border of Canada will no longer allow people trying to cross to simply verbalize their citizenship, otherwise known as oral declaration.
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.
