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

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.
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.
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.
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.
What has become of people today? It absolutely amazes me that people can be so offended by the slightest things these days.
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.
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.
I am writing in response to Mr. Garlock's critique of Martin Luther King Jr. ("Martin Luther King Jr.
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.
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.
In regards to the editorial ("Help wanted" SN 1/19), they were not so suddenly understaffed.
E-mails asking recipients to fill out surveys, regardless of what they are about, are deleted almost as fast as junk mail.
