COMMENTARY
Housing ordinance discriminatory to 'U'
It is hard for students to come together with the East Lansing City Council when ordinances such as 1035C are passed.
COMMENTARY
Foolish felony
Downloading the latest Jay-Z tune could become a federal offense if a Detroit representative gets his way. U.S.
COMMENTARY
Rice for 'U'
There are a lot of people on this campus who dislike Condoleezza Rice for her politics. There are plenty of people who disagree with her reluctance to testify these past few weeks and probably even more who just dislike her for the cold-blooded, pit bull stare.
COMMENTARY
Student should stop whining, grow up
I am writing in response to Jason Bentley's letter printed in Monday's State News ("'U', landlords more corrupt than Enron" SN 4/12). He whines about tuition payments, but we all know how much MSU costs, hopefully before we accept our invitation to attend.
COMMENTARY
TA cuts contradict international goals
I am writing in regard to the administration's proposal of dropping the proverbial guillotine upon the foreign language department. This concerns me because this university preaches the gospel of an international experience one day, then on the next day, proposes sweeping cuts of that very opportunity.
COMMENTARY
Free thought lost in abortion letter, SN
I truly enjoyed Mike Hayes' argument, "What would you classify a fetus if not a human? Is it a dog?
COMMENTARY
Article twisted by professor's words
The article titled "Caught in the middle" (SN 3/31) portrayed the experiences of Michigan Peace Team member Michael Vincente Perez during his humanitarian efforts in Israel. I am repulsed by how easily The State News can take a story about the courage and dedication of the Palestinian people against the Israeli super-army (U.S.-funded), and turn it into a commentary by James Madison Professor Michael Rubner on how dangerous life in that area of the world is. Rubner also felt that the Michigan Peace Team tends to pick a side in the issue, and I agree with him on that point; they do.
COMMENTARY
Dismantling medical school detrimental to research mission
The proposal to move three quarters, and subsequently all, of the students of the College of Human Medicine to Grand Rapids is ill-conceived.
COMMENTARY
Gas prices low, early 1980s worse
The State News article ("Granholm asks officials to monitor gas prices" SN 4/9) is partially correct.
COMMENTARY
Peace Team biased toward Palestine
In regard to Mike McCurdy ("Peace Team motive misrepresented" SN 4/8), I believe he misses the point.
COMMENTARY
Lost memo?
Was the intelligence "actionable" or "historical"? If you actually know the truth, by all means, share with the rest of the class.
COMMENTARY
Undebatable
Michigan State's debate team argued its way to first place in the national championship this month, and students on campus need to realize how cool that is. The team is basking in the glory of its win in the 58th National Debate Tournament on April 5 at Catholic University in Washington, D.C.
COMMENTARY
2-party system restricts choices
In response to Dave Sommers' letter "Nader votes dash hopes for Kerry" (SN 4/6), I'd like to point out that a vote for Ralph Nader is just that - a vote for Ralph Nader.
COMMENTARY
Support the war, support the troops or opt to support both
A guy I know just killed his first Iraqi insurgent. Actually, he killed two, maybe three. He has been stationed in Baghdad since February and since all hell broke loose in Iraq two weeks ago, he's been in the middle of a fire fight.
COMMENTARY
Not for rent
As Pinto and Flounder step inside the Delta house for the first time in "Animal House," they negotiate - among many things - drunken party goers resplendent in togas, an empty keg tossed through a glass window and empty beer bottles aimed at their heads. Granted, this is a dramatization that many homes in East Lansing consciously try to recreate on a weekly basis, but it's still a movie.
COMMENTARY
Totally Takeout lacks variety, nutrition
Totally Takeout has been the answer for many students who couldn't make it to eat at the cafeteria due to their busy schedules, studies or late-night classes. It also has been the source for a quick bite before or during classes.
COMMENTARY
'U', landlords more corrupt than Enron
As I read your article last week on the history of rioting within East Lansing, I couldn't help being quite angered "Darkest Night" (SN 3/30). In no way am I condoning the violence, but where is the justice and media coverage from the students' point of view? To begin with, how about the decline in the value of education we receive at MSU?
COMMENTARY
It's no secret
After the infamous Janet Jackson chest exposure on national television, suddenly Victoria's Secret wants to be a little more secretive, but its shyness isn't necessary.
COMMENTARY
Reader gives tips on improving SN pages
I have attempted to come up with a small list of items I wish to never see in The State News again. These are just a few things that, if changed, could really make The State News a more enjoyable source of both entertainment and information. First, why does The State News always seem to publish a huge article about our riotous past every year?
COMMENTARY
Hornung comments mirror SN's stance
I find it enormously hypocritical of The State News to criticize Paul Hornung's statements regarding race and academics ("Athletic bigots" 4/2), especially when The State News itself professes an ideology which is identical.
