PACE on patrol

Sometimes they go by bike, other times they go by car. They’re a familiar sight to students living and driving around East Lansing, and for those who get ticketed, they’re often a source of frustration.

E-books don’t have to be the death of print

Over the last few years, I have noticed an overwhelming decline in the use of printed books. While at MSU, I began to use my iPad as a way to buy a cheaper version of my school books. I’m completely torn about how I feel watching my favorite thing, reading a printed book, slowly fade. 

COMMENTARY

MSU students need to stop major shaming

In just one year at MSU, I have already noticed how ridiculous people can be about their majors. Especially, when they see themselves as superiors.  One thing every college student needs to realize is no matter what major you choose, you still have to find a job.  Engineering and medical field jobs are definitely in demand, but that doesn't mean all other majors have no shot.  When I chose my major, I went for my passion and that doesn't mean I'll be rich, but I'll be happy.

EDITORIAL: An endorsement of Prop 2

At The State News, we are sick of the blighted park district buildings that have lined the northwest corner of Abbot Road and Grand River Avenue for years. We are sick of looking at them, we are sick of talking about them and we know we are not alone with that viewpoint. Now, with the upcoming ballot proposal on May 5, something can be done to finally rid our otherwise beautiful city of these eyesores.
