Portrayal of city inaccurate, Detroit more than boarded-up buildings
The "D." Motown. Detroit City. A city with many names, Detroit is also a city with many faces.
COMMENTARY
Educate sex
Let's face it: Sex is an issue that is relevant to college students. Sexually transmitted diseases are major concerns, and most college students know — or should know — they are out there. However, some people are unaware of how dangerous they are and what they need to do to protect themselves.
COMMENTARY
No 'extreme' logic in Bice's writings
In response to Mark Stiles' letter, "No middle ground in SN; Bice one extreme" (SN 11/09), it is ridiculous to call the science and logic that Bice uses "extreme." Stiles also claims that science requires just as much faith as religion, another ludicrous statement.
COMMENTARY
Implications true, torture does happen
Although I am not a student at MSU (I'm a comic artist from Spokane, Washington), I am familiar with Ramsey's work, and I must to say that I'm a lot more disgusted by the letters bashing him then the so-called "controversial" comic that he published on Nov.
COMMENTARY
Identity right
It's strange to walk down a hallway and realize you know nothing about anyone else. We try and place labels on everything.
COMMENTARY
Victims can depend on Listening Ear
Rape survivors are frequently silenced — from disapproving friends and family, an unsympathetic and unresponsive legal system and an unsupportive social ideology that blames the survivor instead of the rapist.
COMMENTARY
Your right
Free speech. As guaranteed in the First Amendment, it's one of the most vital principles to American society.
COMMENTARY
Cartoonist must resign for cartoon
I was shocked and appalled when I saw Mike Ramsey's cartoon (SN 11/11). Such a blatant attack on the men and women who are so bravely defending democracy overseas is unacceptable. I could not believe that The State News would print such an untactful and utterly disgusting cartoon.
COMMENTARY
Ramsey, protestors have free speech
The State News was flooded today with angry readers reacting to the Mike Ramsey cartoon (SN 11/11) on Veterans Day — the comic I am sure most State News readers are familiar with. Members of the community were also given an opportunity to view the strip along with a slew of propaganda if they happened to walk by The State News offices on Nov.
COMMENTARY
Ordinance itself bad, needs overhauling
The problem with Ordinance 1129 isn't the proposed amendment to add drinking games to the list of requirements for a party-noise violation.
COMMENTARY
Delayed
The U.S. military was desperate for information after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Our government sought anyone with any information on potential terrorists. While the goals of the government to stop terrorism might have been noble, it exploited the desperate condition of war-ravaged nations in the Middle East.
COMMENTARY
Democrats, Republicans need to plan how nation can improve now
On Nov. 8, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph Wilson visited MSU's campus to speak about his experiences in the Valerie Plame scandal that is shaking the White House.
COMMENTARY
Students treated like children in MSU letter
President Lou Anna K. Simon is treating MSU students like children, so consider this my temper tantrum.
COMMENTARY
Myths, actual rape experience different
I just have one question for Matt Cook regarding his letter "Clothes contribute to reasons to rape" (SN 10/27): When I was raped, I was wearing a green sweater — not at all low cut — and jeans.
COMMENTARY
Students should know noise issues moving in
I would like to respond to Joseph Ryzyi's letter "E.L.
COMMENTARY
SN should diversify page, fire Ramsey
A month or so back, I remember The State News' Opinion Page published an excerpt encouraging us to write in if we had any honest suggestions for the Opinion Page after all the flak it got for being so left-biased. Here's mine — hire another cartoonist.
COMMENTARY
More green
Today, we're more than happy to applaud ASMSU. The State News criticizes ASMSU a lot on the Opinion Page. We do it for good reason.
COMMENTARY
Team had a shot, bad coaching took it away
This letter is in response to Chris Meagher's letter "Writer needs to give team, coach chance" (SN 11/03). Meagher, State did win against a good team.
COMMENTARY
Police's inability to pay isn't students' fault
In response to "Students shouldn't pay for overtime" (SN 11/3), I also believe it is wrong for the city to make the students pay for the police officers' overtime pay.
COMMENTARY
No one knows more about rape than victims; read their points of view
"When I think about rape, I think someone's going to jump out of the bushes or put something in your drink," she said.
