Last time I checked, Math 1825 was not a required course if you could score well on the math placement test given before you even begin classes at MSU.
High school seniors and toddlers have one thing in common - they both are waiting for the most important part of the year.
I would like to respond to the many anti-abortion agitators out there. First off, if you're against abortion, don't have one.
It's time for everyone to go green - and for once, we're not talking about Spartan spirit.
In Maria Raviele's letter to the editor, "Abortion isn't easy decision for women" (SN 11/18), she claims that an abortion isn't an easy way out of a situation.
Since the fall of the Saddam Hussein statue in Iraq, more than 2,100 American soldiers have been injured in action and more than 400 soldiers have been killed.
While finding a cure for AIDS might not be just around the corner, education and awareness of the disease could put the world leaps ahead on the path to its eradication. Area organizations joined others around the globe Monday in commemorating World AIDS Day.
Thank God for Nate Allen. He gives us alumni and many current Spartans, I'm sure, a reason to smile as we sift through the otherwise monotonous rants of the Opinion Page.Keep up the good work, Allen.Louis Rabaut2003 graduate
After reading numerous letters to the editor on the abortion debate, I, too, have decided to lend my voice to this issue.
While studying with a friend two weekends ago, I got onto the subject of my quickly approaching graduation.
The Nov. 25 marquee college basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse did not disappoint. Kansas and MSU battled closely to the finish line, and the Jayhawks pulled out a narrow victory, despite a gritty and determined effort by coach Tom Izzo and company.
It's just a trickle now, but prepare for a flood. U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, a Democratic presidential candidate, will visit Hannah Community Center on Thursday to speak and answer questions. He will be the first of many presidential candidates to visit the area as caucuses and primaries approach. Make it a point to get out and see these candidates, hear their platforms, ask questions and understand the issues. Then, although it's been said many times before, get out and vote in the spring and definitely in November for the general election.
The proposed reductions in university funding constitute a serious, crippling attack on the research and education capabilities of the state.
It's the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend and hopefully everyone reading this is well-rested, their bellies full and feeling very thankful.
Guilty until proven innocent is not the way the law should be run - and thanks to a Bay City judge, another case of such injustice has been overturned. Last week, a federal judge struck down a Bay City ordinance that required people younger than 21 to take a Breathalyzer test on demand or pay a $100 fine.

John Smith is no longer any old name on campus. It conjures images of cowboy boots, a little "magic" and a prestigious football team, and now it marks the Big Ten Coach of the Year.Head coach John L.
This is in response to Maria Raviele's letter "Abortion isn't easy decision for women" (SN 11/18). It is refreshing to see that the abortion supporting argument recognizes the "mental anguish" women go through when they decide to have an abortion.
I'm tired of the same old story of people saying there is a "need" for abortion. You need air; you need food; there are very few things one "needs," all the rest are choices.
I am a relatively new department head at MSU, having been recruited in January of 2003 from Alberta, Canada.
