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.
COMMENTARY
SN endorsement is not representation
How could you honestly print the editorial "Kerry in 2004" (SN 10/27) in The State News? Not only is it completely inappropriate to tell a 40,000-plus student body that the paper they read every day has an liberal agenda and that they can't count on fair and unbiased reporting, but you mean to tell me that every single person working for or employed by The State News is a Kerry supporter?
COMMENTARY
Too soon
It was only three years ago that the World Trade Center towers and Pentagon were attacked claiming thousands of lives.
COMMENTARY
Joel and Phil
And then there were two. The State News is endorsing two candidates for the two open positions on the MSU Board of Trustees.
COMMENTARY
Columnist missing out on Chalupas
I just read Jon Gunnells' "Demand better from fast-food advertisers" (SN 10/26) and I can honestly say - brilliance.
COMMENTARY
Endorsing candidates for office is long-standing newspaper tradition
We at The State News have received a lot of feedback regarding our Oct. 27 editorial endorsement of Democratic Sen.
COMMENTARY
Kosovo actions are proof Kerry is lost
I am not surprised The State News is using complete propaganda to endorse Sen. John Kerry. "Kerry will have an easier time gaining the international troop support needed to get Iraq up and running on a level the current 'coalition' cannot provide." Where is this coming from?
COMMENTARY
Kerry endorsement aside, Bush will win
On Wednesday, The State News endorsed John Kerry for president ("Kerry in 2004" SN 10/27). Kudos for drafting an endorsement more vigorous than the tired, hesitating and reluctant endorsements nearly every other Kerry-supporting paper in the country has written.
COMMENTARY
Cast away
This time around, when you go to the polls on Nov. 2, you're going to need to know your rights. Take into account where you are.
COMMENTARY
Bush administration's manipulation of truth based on political 'game'
After the first debate, a commentator said what clearly emerged was Bush's opinion that the war in Iraq is essential to the war on terrorism and that Kerry's opinion is that it is not.
COMMENTARY
Minor change
ASMSU's plan to allow undergraduate minors to MSU students could be a good option for those who hope to explore a wider range of studies.
