Vote rocked
Stereotyped to be uninformed and uninterested in political issues, college students are not usually considered important to an election.

Cure for sexual assaults lies within prevention, not self defense
It's always nice to hear reactions and feedback to something you've written. I've received a number of e-mails about my columns on sexual violence.
COMMENTARY
Alcohol ban could have bad results
Everyone at this university knows that MSU President Lou Anna Simon and the MSU Board of Trustees have made up their minds, yet they still want public opinion and student response on whether to ban alcohol?
COMMENTARY
Izzone rules ruin fun spirit of game
I'm writing this in support of Matt McNulty ("New Izzone rules should be stopped" SN 1/20). The Izzone and its incompetent leaders need to make a change.
COMMENTARY
Terror talk
Osama bin Laden might be coming to a bookstore near you. At least his beliefs might. That's because "The Al Qaeda Reader," a book that contains translated interviews with bin Laden and some of his al-Qaida counterparts, is scheduled to be made available in English next year.
COMMENTARY
Faux fur should be consumers' choice
Kudos to Aaron Foley for knowing that faux is the way to go ("The real deal on faux fur" SN 1/19). Every consumer study released during the past few years has consistently shown that the average American abhors fur.
COMMENTARY
We want you
With intense competition in the college admission process, some universities are doing more than just sending out mass mailings of pamphlets inviting prospective students to enroll. Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa., offered potential students a free weekend getaway to go skiing or snowboarding.
COMMENTARY
Rock should be a vehicle for opinion
What has become of people today? It absolutely amazes me that people can be so offended by the slightest things these days.
COMMENTARY
Fundamentalist agenda seeking to undermine women's status
America is in the midst of a "culture war." However, our myopic focus on peripheral issues such as abortion or gay rights masks the root cause of the conflict, which is fundamentalist Christianity. I doubt the real agenda fundamentalists have for our country would garner support from most Americans.
COMMENTARY
Schools a powerful source of sex ed.
This is in response to "Sex education is job for parents" (SN 1/19). I was disappointed in the obvious narrow-minded view a fellow MSU student had in his comments about sex education in schools. I would agree that in an ideal world there would be no need for sex education in school - where parents would have the time, accurate knowledge and resources available to them to educate their kids themselves.

Criticism of MLK lacked good points
I am writing in response to Mr. Garlock's critique of Martin Luther King Jr. ("Martin Luther King Jr.

Equal sight
Hey you, pay attention. Stop ogling pictures of Maurice Ager and take notice of the other Big Ten basketball team tearing it up at Breslin Center. Although the No.
COMMENTARY
Gonzales not fit for Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales, President Bush's appointment to replace John Ashcroft as Attorney General, is unfit to be the top law enforcement officer in our democracy.
COMMENTARY
Department gave patients warning
In regards to the editorial ("Help wanted" SN 1/19), they were not so suddenly understaffed.
COMMENTARY
No SIRS
E-mails asking recipients to fill out surveys, regardless of what they are about, are deleted almost as fast as junk mail.
COMMENTARY
Reader takes issue with rock message
Riding the bus on Tuesday, I was surprised to pass by the rock on Farm Lane and see "Abortion Kills" written in dark paint.
COMMENTARY
Editorial ignored Bush's many faults
"Move on?" Indeed. Outstandingly spineless and shallow editorial by The State News ("Dead End" SN 1/14). You give Bush a pass on all of his responsibilities for screwing up this war of choice.
COMMENTARY
As newspapers lose popularity, 'blogs' might be journalism's future
Newspapers are dying. Before I explain this none-too-original claim, let me thank you for even having this paper in your hands.

Tone it down
President George W. Bush will be sworn in today, but it will mark the third day of celebratory activities honoring his second inauguration.
