Online homework tool inefficient

WeBWorK is an online homework program utilized by classes such as Math 103, Math 132, etc. OH Basically, homework assignments become available, and you have a limited time to complete them. Unfortunately, I am one of the unlucky students forced to use this program. It doesn’t seem so bad in theory, but in reality, WeBWorK is terrible.

Student section booing "It's On Us" campaign ad is disrespectful

At the Nebraska game this Saturday at Spartan Stadium, an ad came on the big screens for The White House’s It’s On Us campaign, which is a call to arms for everyone ? yes, everyone, “not just men” ? to stop perpetuating the culture that generates sexual assault.The stadium watched quietly as the commercial played.

Editorial: More handicapped seating is necessary in Spartan Stadium

Advertising junior Katie Feirer has a very simple request.She'd like to experience an MSU football game the same way her peers do.Feirer is wheelchair-bound, and as such, has been segregated from fellow student fans, because handicap accomodations in Spartan Stadium have effectively banished her to the other side of the stadium.And it's not just handicapped students who are forced into a different experience ? other disabled fans have been shuttled to the press box when there aren't enough handicap-accessible seats.

You bought football season tickets, now use them

For the last two home games, the Spartan football team has come out of the tunnel to an empty top deck and a Rose Bowl banner. A Rose Bowl banner that, if it adorned the stadiums of other schools, would be enough to get every seat in the stadium filled.

Concerts need to come through for students

For as long as can be remembered, concerts have been to college kids what Florida is to tourists. The best-known names in the entertainment industry — be it rappers, singers, bands or comedians — always seem to possess a magnetic force, hauling in crazed fans, truckloads of revenue, and, most importantly, great nights all around.
