COMMENTARY
Decades of glory
The 60th anniversary of D-Day is an immensely significant commemoration for the brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy, France.
COMMENTARY
Moore's messages need to be heard
Most everyone has heard the story about Michael Moore's new documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11." If somehow you haven't, here's the scoop, briefly: Moore's movie sharply criticizes George W.
COMMENTARY
Totally uncool
When East Lansing and Lansing make their entrance at the annual mixer party for Michigan cities later this year, Sault Ste.
COMMENTARY
Business managers often overly-pompous, need lessons in people
Management take note: Just because you run a store, doesn't mean you run the world. After working too many years in not fabulous jobs in the evergrowing and most-annoying food-service industry, I've realized the people who are in charge of said establishments aren't always the most qualified for the job.
COMMENTARY
Tour of duty
The U.S. Army recently expanded a program called "stop-loss" that would prevent soldiers awaiting deployment for Iraq and Afghanistan from leaving the military at the end of their required service.
COMMENTARY
Criticism of Bice column misses point
While I normally think John Bice's columns are drab and repetitive, the criticism for his last column is somewhat off ("Bice column unduly implicates religion," SN 6/1). Janice Munk implicates that Stalin, Pot and Castro relied on rational thought as opposed to religion to make their deplorable decisions, whereas most agree it is evident that they actually used neither.
COMMENTARY
Rice speech still generates contempt
Condoleezza Rice is an embarrassment to our nation, and her speech at MSU's commencement this summer was a disgrace to the community and alumni.
COMMENTARY
Accessibility makes 'U' a better place
After reading Ben Phillip's "Money wasted on unused access" (SN 6/1) it amazes me how naive some people can be.
COMMENTARY
Homeland 101
It is clear that our country, state and university are facing a great deal of uncertainty in coming months.
COMMENTARY
St. Vincent Home helps 'U' students
Thank you for your article in Thursday's State News about the new building for St. Vincent Home for Children ("Shelter offers new hope," SN 5/27). In addition to a new facility for young people and its services to the community, Catholic Social Services/St.
COMMENTARY
Crossword puzzles should be ad-free
Every day for four years, after a brief glance at the front page, I open my State News and fold it twice to perfectly expose the jewel of The State News - the crossword puzzle.
COMMENTARY
Johnson statue undeserved, monument should be erected for Smith
On most Tuesday and Thursday mornings, I walk past the Breslin Center on my way to class. My walk takes me past the Earvin "Magic" Johnson statue that now juts out in front of the Breslin ticket office, and I'm usually within 20 yards or so of his big bronzed likeness. I get to see Magic's visage twice a week.
COMMENTARY
Money wasted on unused access
I'm a little concerned by the recent article and news that MSU looks to be under more pressure for more accessibility to the buildings on campus ("Opening doors," SN 5/27). I graduated more than a year ago, and spent four straight years at MSU, including living on campus for two summers.
COMMENTARY
Hawaiian lifestyle sullied by outsider involvement, development
To be totally honest, I've never been to the state of Hawaii. From pictures, postcards and word of mouth, I hear it's pretty gorgeous.
COMMENTARY
Summer of terror
News of higher terror alerts overwhelms today's media. There is more specificity toward who, what, where and when terrorist attacks might occur.The government, along with the media, might be creating a culture of fear rather than knowledge. Surely, one should be vigilant during the Bush administration's allegations of new terrorism threats and alerts.
COMMENTARY
Bice column unduly implicates religion
John Bice's article "Religion and mental instability an extremely dangerous combination" (SN 5/24) had many points begging for a response, but due to space limitations I will only comment on a few.
COMMENTARY
Anti-Republican cartoon offensive
I would like to take this time to voice my utter disappointment and disgust with the recent cartoon by Patrick Walters depicting the Republican National Convention as the next terror threat (SN 5/27). Walters, you have gone too far this time.
COMMENTARY
Tax on deadly habit not regressive
I'm glad to see how happy The State News is about tobacco tax being voted down ("Holy Smokes," SN 5/24). I hope they will be happy as they continue to watch the smoking rate and illness rate among MSU students rise.
COMMENTARY
Bice's faith-critical argument valid
Patrick Beeman, as a criminal justice major would you cease to prosecute a repeat offender of grand theft auto if you have already prosecuted him a few times before?
COMMENTARY
