History could use some new voices
This letter is in response to the letter from Len Miller, "Vote for Prop.
COMMENTARY
'Morning-after' political schwag deserves its own special graveyard
You can't look across the street nowadays without seeing something truly hideous. Go ahead, give it a try.
COMMENTARY
Appreciation
To those who went to vote - we salute you. After the long, hard crawl to the polls you didn't wimp out.
COMMENTARY
Campus needs to be safer at night
I am writing this letter in regard to the poor lighting on campus at night. With all of the recent assaults going on, I feel that more lighting is a necessity for safety and security.
COMMENTARY
Football fans could, should want more
Jonathan Malavolti's column regarding Saturday evening's classic ("Fans couldn't ask for more from Spartans" SN 11/1) epitomized the kind of bogus attitude within the local public and media that has haunted MSU football for much of the past half-century. Yes, Jonathan, fans could ask for more - and quite frankly they should.
COMMENTARY
Media doesn't give Spartans chances
Before the Michigan-MSU game, I watched ESPN commentators joking about the Spartans' chances of upsetting the great Wolverines.
COMMENTARY
Column's rationale keeps 'U' mediocre
I am writing in response to Jonathan Malavolti's column "Fans couldn't ask for more from Spartans" (SN 11/1). His blind support of the team, win or lose, is the reason that this program has been steeped in mediocrity for 35 years. Yes, they gave a valiant effort, and yes, they played hard for most of the game.
COMMENTARY
End game
On the eve of presidential elections it usually happens - the campaign-end surprise. One or both candidates will pull out some powerhouse, earth-shattering dirt on their competition. In 2000, Democrats served up President Bush's drunk-driving record to sway voters days before the election.
COMMENTARY
Attempts to target youth voters devoid of information, effectiveness
Puff Daddy is an opportunistic youth locust. If turning a once-great art form into self-absorbed braggadocio about money and spinning platinum hubcaps wasn't enough to earn him a special place in Hell, his exploitation of kids who wanted to become more politically-minded will hopefully get him a reservation. His "Vote or Die" campaign was meaningless fear-tactic fodder in the name of self-promotion.
COMMENTARY
Third parties are not 'traitor' votes
I plan on voting for Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian candidate for president, today. In the past few months, I've listened to and read all sorts of misconceived rantings against third-party voters. The mainstream camps like to brand us as idealistic, fringy or foolish.
COMMENTARY
Ferguson meddles in Spartan athletics
After recovering from my disappointment from the football game this weekend, I realized how proud I was of our team and our coaching staff.
COMMENTARY
Good flip-flop
The ability to learn from our mistakes is what facilitates knowledge - knowledge of our surroundings, our environment and the people in it.
COMMENTARY
Marching band is classy ambassador
I want to thank the Spartan Marching Band not only for an excellent program at the University of Michigan game, but also for its strong support of the team throughout the game.
COMMENTARY
Vote for Prop. 1 is voting for racism
I recently visited the Ziibiwing Center museum on the Isabella Indian Reservation near Mount Pleasant.
COMMENTARY
Horrible house
We all are entitled to the freedom of speech. But people don't necessarily have a right to force their own beliefs onto other people without giving valid context. That's the main problem we find with the "House of Horrors" run by Lansing's Mount Hope Church.
COMMENTARY
Church display is 'disgusting,' wrong
I just want to say that I am outraged by Mount Hope Church's recruitment of our area youth to their "House of Horrors" in which they subject these youth to scenes of abortion, child molestation and rape.
COMMENTARY
Apathy toward voting disregards work of those who fought for right
Imagine this happening: While waiting for her father's return, a young girl played with a doll made from rags.
COMMENTARY
SN endorsement follows old practice
I only have one question for Ron Ziehmer, who seems so appalled that The State News endorsed a presidential candidate "SN endorsement is not representation" (SN 10/29): Have you ever read a newspaper in your entire life?
COMMENTARY
Endorsing Ferguson was disappointing
I was disappointed but not surprised to see The State News endorse Joel Ferguson for re-election to the MSU Board of Trustees.
COMMENTARY
Vote tomorrow
Leading up to tomorrow's election, we at The State News have given you a reason to vote every day.
