COMMENTARY
Women should embrace sex life
Tucker Max is dirty. He’s sexually explicit, he engages in an extreme amount of premarital sex, and he exploits it all on his Web site, TuckerMax.com.
COMMENTARY
Sushi critiques misleading, lack adequate menu diversity
As a Japanese student attending MSU, I have counted myself lucky that the local area contains many excellent Japanese food and sushi restaurants. As a result, I was disappointed by the content of your recent articles School of fish and Sushi showdown (SN 1/15).
COMMENTARY
MySpace.com features won't stop predators
MySpace.com, a popular social networking Web site, has recently announced an agreement with Attorney General Mike Cox and other state attorneys general to take more steps toward Internet safety for children.
COMMENTARY
Kucinich unfairly nixed from NBC/MSNBC debates
Martin Luther King Jr. declared, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” and our fragile democracy became weaker today.
COMMENTARY
Paul supporters deserve better
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?
COMMENTARY
Sushi critique appreciated, but insulting to SanSu
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.
COMMENTARY
Privatization of prisons keeps racism in judicial system
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.”
COMMENTARY
Comments show potential, but privilege abused
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.
COMMENTARY
Death row inmates deserve respectable death
Americans are promised freedom from “cruel and unusual punishment.” Let’s try keeping it that way.
COMMENTARY
Advanced IDs keep border safety in control
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.
COMMENTARY
Izzone not better, reason for smaller hawk's nest
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.
COMMENTARY
Early studies matter in math
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.
COMMENTARY
Talk about rape should continue
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.
COMMENTARY
Textbook prices ridiculous, prevent student savings
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?
COMMENTARY
Votes are an investment, make them wisely
Tomorrow is salvageable. Yeah, it’s true: Michigan’s primary election comes off as a waste of voters’ time, especially with recently imposed constraints.
COMMENTARY
Resist luxuries, fight terrorism
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.
COMMENTARY
No evidence needed; drivers should be tested
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.
COMMENTARY
Christians have changed but message remains same
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.
COMMENTARY
Religious pride lessens in 2007
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.
COMMENTARY
Adding tenured professors must be priority
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.
