Every week, I look forward to Scratch Club on Friday nights at Code of the Cutz on M.A.C. Avenue. Within the small walls of the record store, disc jockeys, emcees and break-dancers come together to create an impromptu potpourri of freestyle rapping, record scratching and dancing from 8-11 p.m.
Iran just checked off No. 1 on the "things-to-piss-off-the-West" list. After ignoring constant U.N.
As many of us know, sometimes people attempt to be cute or funny, when in truth they are only annoying.
Charles W. Skinner's "Organization is against all illegal immigration" (SN 3/30), uses some ridiculous logic to compare illegal immigration to assault and battery.
Dear ASMSU, You've gotten a lot of coverage on our page lately, and suffice it to say, it has been less than flattering.
America has always had a problem with porn. Some people chalk it up to the fact that our country was settled by the repressed, puritanical dregs of English society.
On a college campus, student voice is essential. Be they vital academic decisions or merely trivial ones, students must be represented in all of them. Which is why one of the proposed changes to Academic Governance — namely the ratio of students to faculty on a council — is important to watch. Under the proposed changes brought about by the university's Task Forces, is the creation of a Faculty Congress, a faculty governance body that would be chaired by a faculty member, rather than Faculty Council's leadership under MSU President Lou Anna K.
I am a student at MSU, and I am writing to bring attention to the atrocious condition of the MSU e-mail system. The MSU e-mail system is the default e-mail for all MSU students and is notoriously slow and unreliable.
In Jessica Maschinski's letter "Argument against adult stem cells is fraudulent" (SN 3/29), she charges that Ryan Dinkgrave lies in his column "Second time around" (SN 3/28), when he says that embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have more potential than adult stem cells (ASCs). Can she even reason that if this were a lie, and ASCs were better than ESCs, scientists would not be clamoring for more ESC cell lines?
I am a mentor in one of the residence halls here at MSU. I am writing today because I feel that mentors deserve more respect and appreciation from students living in the residence halls. Being a mentor can be a difficult and sometimes very stressful job.
MSU's College of Osteopathic Medicine is looking to establish a satellite campus at one of four locations in Southeast Michigan. Of those in the running, only one really seems suitable to support our prestigious medical school — Oakland University. While the other candidates — Macomb Community College, St.
The discussions surrounding the Joe Carr event have been misinformed and sensationalized to such an extent that Great Issues feels obligated to use this space to respond. Fact: Great Issues co-sponsored an event last year with the Peace Education Center of Lansing, the Michigan Peace Team and the Greater Lansing Network Against War and Injustice.
I am writing in response to the article "Pills popped" (SN 3/27). I am glad The State News finally recognized an issue that affects every MSU student — all-nighters and students taking medication from students who have prescriptions. I know of girls who constantly take Adderall to stay skinny and lose weight, and I know of other students who drop hundreds of dollars every month on Adderall, Ritalin and Concerta. People like this ruin it for real ADHD sufferers.
I find it pretty amazing the ruckus that has developed regarding the Young Americans for "Fascism" being labeled a hate group, both because I find it completely unsurprising and because it has taken the campus community and The State News so long to figure this out. Of course MSU's YAF chapter is a hate group!
I am a huge fan of displaying diversity and different cultures of the world in a university setting.
Imagine that. A radical, liberal organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center, throwing the label of "hate group" at a conservative organization it can't compete with in the arena of ideas.
I am a third-year student at MSU. Yesterday was the third time I had to empty all the e-mails I have sent in my MSU e-mail because of its limited storage. Instructors and university officials choose to use MSU e-mail to contact students.
After having my Internet connection taken away, MSU's rules regarding music downloading became a reality to me.
"This Campaign is About You." Simple words, but sincere, honest and packed full of meaning, promise and hope.
Ryan Dinkgrave's column "Second time around" (SN 3/28), is a gross untruth about stem cell research.
