I've been a commuter at MSU for three years now and I have never had such a problem parking. This is the third year that I have purchased a permit to park in Lot 89, the commuter lot. Why are there no spots?
If anything has caused fewer applicants to Big Ten schools in Michigan, it is not student laziness or student apathy.
I am disgusted with The State News. After the article published on Tuesday telling God and everybody how to steal the bikes of people who care enough to purchase the claimed best lock made ("U-lock security failure revealed to consumers" SN 9/28), I am again let down by the reporting skills and choices made by The State News. In the article "Campus political parties hold debate" (SN 9/30), there is obvious bias.
Having read Dave Salisbury's column "Too much faith being invested in religion; have faith in yourself" (SN 9/28), I feel a response is necessary. Salisbury begins his article by claiming that he believes there is a God.
Baseball is back; or at least it is in Washington, D.C. For a city that has not seen a home run or a fly ball in 33 years, the movement of the Expos from Montreal to the nation's capital is good thing, for both D.C.
While reading "Green expectations" (SN 9/27), I was saddened and annoyed to see that the 2020 Vision Plan included the possible removal of Shaw Lane.
As if we needed yet another reason that Bill O'Reilly needs to keep his mouth shut. When Jon Stewart, host of the "The Daily Show," appeared on the Sept.
I have been tailgating for years. I actually look forward to tailgate season and waking up at 3 a.m.
One of the most powerful images from the Persian Gulf War was a candid shot of Sgt. Ken Kozakiewicz sitting in a helicopter.
The State News should have gotten their facts straight prior to printing bogus information in the article "Candidates spar over Great Lakes, environment" (SN 9/29). Key words - requested, proposed, opposes - in Bush's environmental action plan as stated in The State News all sound like he's actually doing something positive for the environment.
President Bush and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry do not like to look stupid. The candidates' campaigns wanted to secure their insecurity at the debates by not allowing certain camera shots and angles, and asked the networks to abide.
America has disintegrated into a nation of pimps, emotional invalids and pedophiles all because of one marvelous invention - instant messaging.
Editor's note: Beginning today, The State News editorial board will address key issues of the presidential campaign every Wednesday edition.
After successfully struggling to stay awake throughout history class, I was waiting at the bus stop with four female students from the same course.
Combining the currently scattered integrative studies centers is an excellent idea, but it must be done correctly.
The Association of Michigan Universities sent the right message to lawmakers when they unanimously passed a bill that opposes a draft, or selective service act, for students.
In the future, MSU could be a very different place. According to the university's 2020 Vision plan for MSU's near future, there might be a near absence of student cars on campus, green space that would abound and parking police thankfully out of work ticketing student cars. These goals - to be initiated by 2020 - will most likely not be seen, even by MSU's youngest students.
I am heartened to learn of significant new voter registration of young people in Michigan. As you realize, and by all predictions, youth will have an unusually important role in the upcoming election. As an MSU alumnus (Landscape Architecture, 1962), I wish to do my part to encourage you, the MSU student body and the staff, to expand the registration momentum with at least three personal actions. Become activists now for concerted peer voter registration not only on the MSU campus but for all students. Actually vote in November and thereafter. Exercise your democracy.
After reading the article "Rap culture influences women, society" (SN 9/22), I became a little upset to see that this problem is still being attributed to rap music.
I believe there is a God, and I bet he's disappointed. Do you know what the "culture war" is?
