Exerting the power of their newfound congressional majority, Democrats in the House of Representatives passed legislation that aims to end the Iraq war.
MSU is the largest campus in the nation with more than 5,200 acres, 2,000 acres in existing or planned development and a large network of sidewalks.
I urge faculty to attend the vitally important meeting of Faculty Council to be held today at 3:15 p.m.
In response to Jason Craft's letter "Mich.
Tom Keller ended his article "Izzo: 'We gave them a hell of a game'" (SN 3/19), about MSU's loss to North Carolina with a quote from Coach Izzo that said, "Anybody that was a Spartan tonight should have been proud of our effort." I have to question whether Keller is a proud Spartan, though, when just a few lines above he wrote that the team "will return every meaningful contributor next season." While Jake Hannon, Bryan Tibaldi, Brandon Darnton and DeMarcus Ducre (as well as Deon Curry, but he's not a senior and could return) didn't have gaudy statistics or play extended minutes, to suggest that they were not important parts of this team is flat-out wrong. What member of the Izzone doesn't remember the first time Darnton saw the floor?
Young Americans for Freedom is not a hate group, neither at MSU nor any campus in America. We believe in limited responsible government and equal treatment for all citizens.
As Michigan continues to struggle with a combined $3 billion budget deficit, a squabble has broken out between lawmakers and universities about funding. As it stands, Michigan's "Big Three" universities — University of Michigan, Wayne State University and MSU — receive 57 percent of state funding, with the remaining 43 percent to be divided among the 12 remaining schools. And while those numbers will remain constant, Gov.
For an election that hasn't even hit the primaries, the 2008 run for the White House has been quite a show. The undisputed stars of that show, getting more press and sparking more speculation than all other candidates combined, are Sens.
The fact that Michigan's economy is crumbling is not news. Anyone who has been keeping up with the auto industry is aware of our state's financial woes.
When reading Etienne Fields' article "The biggest threat" (SN 3/21), I was shocked that he would be so "frightened and dismayed" by white people listening to African American artists while driving.
As citizens protest the war in Iraq all across America from Washington to our hometown, one would hope this exercise of free speech would yield a positive impact.
Although it came a year later, I applauded the decision by ASMSU to disband Great Issues. I like to think my four years at MSU has taught me how to successfully conduct research, but no matter how hard I search The State News or the ASMSU Web site, I still have no clue what Great Issues' purpose was or why it was ever created. The only speaker I ever heard of who was sponsored by Great Issues was Joe Carr.
Justus is an 8-year-old boy from Florida, with bushy hair and a crooked smile. His bio says he enjoys writing and animals, and in his free time, he likes to go to the movies. Fedeline, 8, and her sister Kettelove, 5, patiently glare upward in a picture.
The war in Iraq is starting its fifth year, and we in Lansing kicked it off with an anti-war rally held at the Capitol.
As a senior about to graduate and be in the job market, I am acutely aware of the severe economic crisis the state of Michigan is currently facing. Recently, we all have heard the news that Comerica is moving its corporate headquarters from Detroit to Texas, most of the Jackson prison complex will be closed and unemployment has increased again.
Last week, Rep. Phil LaJoy introduced a bill that would decrease the state cigarette tax by 50 cents in hopes of generating revenue.
I struggle to find the words necessary to fully communicate the knots felt in my heart as I was an unfortunate witness to the anti-war protest Tuesday afternoon on Grand River Avenue.
Global warming is a reality, and there is nothing Philip Cooney or the rest of the blundering executive branch can do to keep it quiet any longer. It turns out that Cooney, the former chief of staff of the Council on Environmental Quality and a one-time oil industry lobbyist, got a little too red-pen happy with some of the federal government's official documents about climate change, including 294 separate edits to one governmental strategic climate change plan. And as Rep.
When ASMSU elections start this week, all students will have an opportunity to vote on Proposal 3. This proposal is to keep Great Issues off Programming Board, as our ASMSU representatives had already voted.
It stills amazes and disturbs me how often people use historical words of hate in everyday language.
