Four students and I attended the East Lansing City Council meeting to listen and voice our opinions about the proposed Meijer gas station on the corner of West Lake Lansing Road and Marfitt Road.
After reading Jessica Byrom’s letter titled Only legally married couples deserve benefits (SN 11/5), I was completely appalled.
I never thought so many of my liberal friends would vote Republican. Ron Paul’s $4.7 million online fundraiser last week proved him an online, if not actual, presidential heavyweight.
There probably aren’t many people — if any — who enjoy phone calls from telemarketers. The calls always seem to come at a bad time and usually they’re pushing a product on us that we just don’t want.
I love and take pride in being an MSU graduate and regularly come back to campus to cheer on the various Spartan teams. But my recent visit left me disappointed. It had nothing to do with the on-the-field and on-the-court results — I can enjoy even a hard-fought loss. I met and shared a tailgate with some great MSU students before the football game.
I think it’s safe to say that the world as a whole has come to the consensus that pollution is a bad thing. With that being said, could someone please explain to me how it was one of the reasons the East Lansing City Council unanimously rejected Meijer’s proposed green gas station?
In what could be a potential blow to the Clinton presidential campaign’s credibility, a Hillary Clinton campaign staffer was caught planting questions during a public question-and-answer session — not once but twice since April.
“Grey’s Anatomy.” “The Office.” “Heroes.” These are just a few of our favorite TV shows that may be in reruns within the next few months. Scribes from the Writers Guild of America, or WGA, traded in their pencils and pens for picket signs and megaphones last week, striking against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, or AMPTP, for the first time since 1988.
The results are in, and we’ve all had a little time to adjust to the changes to the East Lansing City Council. Fresh, new faces will replace an incumbent and the mayor. Nathan Triplett, who received 26.8 percent of the vote, is a legislative aid in the Michigan House of Representatives. At 24 years old, he’ll be the youngest person on the council, and he’s a former MSU student.
I am writing in response to the recent article MSU right-wing groups accused of anti-discrimination violation (SN 11/6). A claim that an organization on campus has violated the MSU anti-discrimination policy should be a very serious situation.
The push for the discontinuation of domestic partner benefits is a display of bigotry and ignorance by the people of Michigan. To infer that domestic partner benefits should not be allowed to homosexuals, as they somehow pose a threat to marriage and will ultimately destroy this country, is unjust and unfounded.
If inflatable spears were real weapons, there would’ve been a bloody mess last Saturday at Spartan Stadium. And Michigan fans wouldn’t have been the only targets.
I was shocked to read Mark Dantonio’s response to how the Michigan football team handled itself after beating MSU in With Dantonio, MSU, U-M will become rivalry (SN 11/6).
After reading Jessica Byrom’s letter to the editor titled Only legally married couples deserve benefits (SN 11/5), I felt compelled to respond.
It is a month later than what the Michigan Constitution says, but we finally and officially have the state budget fixed for the next fiscal year. The whole state is split about the final solution, but no solution to the budget problem would be accepted by everyone.
ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government, spent more than $12,000 on new fixings for the organization’s offices and some students believe the organization is using student-generated funds irresponsibly.
As members of the Writers Guild of America step away from their computers and out to the picket lines, we’re forced to face the reality of life without television and film writers — that is, a life of reality TV. That’s right, as the “The Daily Show” airs reruns, Fox is gearing up to run “American Idol” for six of the 15 hours the network has to fill every week.
So MSU is a research institution, right? It would be nice if some smart, tenure-seeking MSU professor conducted a study to determine why Spartan football — no matter who the coach is — simply can not hold on to a first-half lead.
Jessica Byrom poses an interesting question in her letter Only legally married couples deserve benefits (SN 11/4). Byrom wrote, “If we start allowing people to carry whomever they want on their health insurance, where is it going to stop?” Well, I hope it doesn’t.
Humans have long attributed acts of nature to unseen entities. Ancient pagan mythologies were particularly rich with stories of gods representing personifications of natural forces. The Norse, for example, believed that thunderstorms resulted from the activities of the god Thor, and lightning was caused by Thor’s use of Mjolnir, his mystical hammer.
