The most entertaining and exciting video game no longer is located in the dorm room or apartment. Thanks to the university's investment, MSU has access to the SOuthern Astrophysical Research Telescope , or SOAR, which tops any PlayStation or GameCube.
John Bice's column doesn't really talk about the title and it simply attacks Judeo-Christian belief ("Conservatives find creative way to push creationism in school" SN 3/15). He states that "public schools are under attack from religious warriors crusading to inject creationism into science classes." Sounds scary, right? Aside from that ridiculous language, I agree that creationism does not belong in schools as a substitute for evolution.
Recently, a few friends and I were walking to Case Hall for dinner. As we neared our destination, we encountered a group of men about 100 feet in front of us who were dressed in full camouflage, carrying packs and had what appeared to be black M-16 assault rifles.
If you're living under a rock or choose to exist in a constant state of denial, you might not know that it's MSU Pride Week.
The State News' discouragement of Eco's power plant forum was disturbing, and the editorial had many statements that were just plain incorrect ("Relax, Eco" SN 3/15). We decided to hold a forum to get our questions answered and engage the community in the dialogue.
One would presume that as long as the federal government is racially profiling international students, it would at least do it correctly. Last week, The State News localized a report by The Chronicle of Higher Education that revealed that some U.S.
This letter is in regards to Eleazar Barzart's letter complaining about the use of $150 to buy candy for students who visit the ASMSU offices "Candy Initiative waste of 'U' funds," (SN 4/15). Being the main person behind the plan, I am sorry you feel it is such a waste.
In response to your editorial, "Relax, Eco" (SN 4/15), I suggest The State News "get a grip" on the facts.
I was disheartened to read the editorial "Relax, Eco" (SN 4/15) that derided the Eco group for its concerns about the expansion of the MSU Power Plant.
It's always a positive thing when people do good things in the community and get recognized for their actions.
It's not easy being vegan. Sometimes, people ask me why I would ever switch to a life sans cookies and pizza, and it's always hard for me to give them a straight answer.
As I read Chad Lepisto's letter, "Rice will send wrong message to seniors" (SN 4/15), I was saddened to hear that he would not be attending his own commencement just because he does not agree with the political beliefs of Condoleezza Rice.
I am writing in response to Matthew Coleman's letter "Liberal outcry over Rice waste of breath" (SN 4/15). I was very surprised to read a letter in which Coleman neglected to address any specific examples of "liberal outcry" on campus to substantiate his claims.
This letter is in reference to the article "ASMSU funds Indian show" (SN 4/14). I wanted to fully clarify the concerns of the Asian Pacific American Student Organization, or APASO. First, APASO supports all programs and events that educate communities on Asian-American culture/histories.
The girl holding the door open for me looked horrified. I was going to class in Holden Hall, and I noticed as I got closer to the door that she had been holding it open for me for a good two minutes. "I can get the door myself, you know," I told the girl as I maneuvered my wheelchair through the door. Her response?
As an East Lansing resident, I find it absurd that Comcast is the only cable Internet and television provider in the area.
Please, I ask The State News, from student to student, apologize for the wording of the article "'U' officials' meeting on workers' rights brings student protest" (SN 4/15). It represents the students as anti-workers' rights and the MSU administration as pro-workers' rights when, in fact, the truth is the exact opposite. University officials are not trying to protect workers' rights.
I'm getting quite bored with reading the opinion section and seeing people try to state facts. Supposed "facts" like Israel is a democratic state, John Bice is wrong, Michael Moore is wrong, etc. How about this "fact"? I'm sick of going into lecture halls and seeing them trashed.
How much progress have we really made? Maybe 20 years ago, gender or sexual orientation was as seemingly public as it always had been since the beginning of time. Now, it's a pop culture phenomenon.
MSU is going to have to work out some kinks because of its decision to switch to e-billing. Starting this summer, students no longer will receive their bills in the mail.
