Martin Luther King, Jr. is someone I’ve admired since I was little. I remember my first encounter with one of the persons that would later give sense to the words equality, justice and peace.
In the world of academia, there is an unspoken hierarchy in terms of a college degree’s prestige. Engineering and pre-med majors are near the top, with marketing and accounting somewhere in the middle, and liberal arts degrees at the very bottom. English majors, in particular, are the butt of many jokes in popular culture.
The first week of the semester conjures up a lot of thoughts, many of which are positive. However, nothing puts me off the semester quicker than seeing the price of my books and course packs.
East Lansing has finally received a much anticipated “real winter.” By “real winter,” I mean that the temperatures have at last dropped below freezing and a few inches of snow have successfully stuck to the ground for longer than a 24-hour period.
It’s 2015, and the spring semester is officially here. I’m sure I’m not the only one disappointed that the holidays are over, but it is important to remember that the decisions we made while we were on break are sticking with us into the new year. For many individuals this new semester isn’t just another semester, it is the beginning of their year-long journey to better themselves.

A little over a week ago, as I was walking through Brody Hall to get dinner, I was asked by a girl who was member of “MSU’s Anti-Cancer Society,” if I’d sign a petition to make help make MSU smoke free to which I gave a definitive “no.” I didn’t say no because I was hungry and in a hurry, or because I’m a cigarette smoker myself, but simply because it’s an infringement on the civil liberties of those individuals who do choose to smoke.

Let’s face it, dining halls aren’t always the most desirable places to eat. They’re crowded, sometimes messy and the food can be sub-par.
I’m pleased that The State News and Anthony Herta are willing to have an open, honest dialogue about an issue that desperately needs to be talked about.

We all want a healthy campus. I’ll just get that right out of the way. MSU has taken many steps to improve the quality of life on campus and they should be commended for such actions.
