At the near zenith of "Beatlemania," John Lennon is famously remembered for giving an interview that implied his Beatles to be more popular than Jesus Christ.
Chances are you've had to hash it out working at a fast food restaurant, as a server, or delivering pizzas at some point in your life (if you aren't doing so currently, that is). At the time, the minimum, or near-minimum, wage you were probably earning might have seemed adequate to your needs - a weekend at the movies, buying a new CD, whatever.
I have been a season ticket holder for MSU basketball for 27 years and have watched the evolution of the Izzone from a fanatic group of supporters to what it is now. When the Izzone first appeared, it was spontaneous, boisterous, exuberant, frenetic, LOUD and timely.
In response to the studies presented this week on the positive effects of the tailgating restrictions ("Tailgate trash" SN 1/25), I fear there may be negative effects that are not being studied.
I am so tired of half-hearted MSU fans whining about the Izzone. The issue of the moment is the official T-shirts the Izzone has always required its members to wear.
It's just not the same. Walking around campus on the morning of a game day, there is now an air of relative calm.
I am writing in response to both Benjamin Greathouse ("Message on rock made good point" SN 1/24) and Serena Bearman ("Reader takes issue with rock message" SN 1/20). Firstly, Mr. Greathouse made an excellent point on the issue of abortion.
In reply to the letter "Reader takes issue with rock message," (SN 1/20) I am appalled that an individual could be so closed minded.
The Graduate Employees Union has been known for protesting in creative ways. From marching around campus beating buckets like drums and carrying picket signs, to marching to past former President M.
Blink. The road rippled in my vision. Blink. Somehow I had appeared in the left lane.
I am writing in response to Jim Hines ("Cure for sexual assault lies within prevention, not self defense" SN 1/24). I agree that rape is a problem that society as a whole needs to address and deal with.
Some congratulations are in order for Sparty. For the second year in a row, the mascot reigns high and supreme above all other mascots in the nation after defending his title as number one mascot in the country at the College Mascot National Championship held in Orlando, Fla., on Jan.
So I lost my cell phone a couple weekends back. I had been out and about for most of that Saturday, and I returned home at some point early Sunday morning to discover that it wasn't in my jeans pockets.
As an MSU alumna and a current staff person, I doubt I have been prouder of you, the MSU student population, than I have been this week.
It seems as though some of the world's brightest minds are pleading before the United States one more time to change its policies on environmentally harmful gas emissions. An international climate change task force warned Monday that the planet's global warming is rapidly approaching a critical point.
In response to the article "Reader takes issue with rock message," (SN 1/20) abortion does kill.
First of all, I would like to point out that I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat when it comes to weighing in on political issues, but I do feel it necessary for me to write this concerning Bush's inaugural speech.
This letter is in response to the SN editorial "Right to Know," (SN 1/12). The article insinuated that emergency contraception is an abortion pill.
Like Matt McNulty, I too was barred from entering the Breslin Center for MSU against Purdue. My grave offense was that I was wearing last year's Izzone shirt instead of this year's shirt.
I am writing in response to Serena Bearman ("Reader takes issue with rock message" SN 1/20). Ms. Bearman seems to be uncomfortable with a simple statement of fact.
