This could be in response to Jill Schwab's ridiculous indictment of The State News ("Pacemaker Award given to liberals" SN 11/12), but in all reality, it is more in response to the general tone of the editorial page of late.
This is in response to Jill Schwab's letter "Pacemaker Award given to liberals" (SN 11/12) criticizing The State News for winning the Pacemaker.
I recently discovered that I have been lied to by my professors, my teachers, my mentors and anyone else who told me that "if you work hard, you will succeed." If that is the case, why am I working three part-time jobs just to make ends meet?
I was stunned and saddened to learn of the loss of Ruth Simms Hamilton. As a freshman, I took an interdisciplinary studies in social science course taught by Hamilton, and she really inspired me to look toward sociology as a major. I remember meeting with her during her office hours, and we must have talked for more than an hour on current events, class, her African Diaspora project and my life.
I am writing in response to the police brief in The State News, "Woman assaulted by 3 men in E.L.
When the going gets tough, sometimes the tough grab a beer. It's true - just ask some college students.
Standing up for what you believe in should always be commended. In the case of Andrew Anthos, he should be recognized for all of his dedication to our state and country for the past 16 years. But last thing Michigan needs is to spend thousands of dollars on lighting up the Capitol building in red, white and blue.
Tom Amon's letter "SN Opinion Page has liberal biases" concerning The State News opinion section was patently outrageous. Amon claims that "the opinion pieces are overwhelmingly written by far-left liberals, lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender members or someone slamming conservatives." All State News readers should know that Amon's associative stereotyping of lesbians and gays as "liberals" is far from true.
I think I speak for many people when I say that President Bush is more evil than Satan himself. Somehow, he manages to remain president, despite the fact that he is more diabolical than Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin and Carrot Top combined.
This is in response to Tom Amon's letter "SN Opinion Page has liberal biases" — as well as several other letters that say, essentially, the same thing. The point of that letter, as with the others, is that The State News has a "liberal bias." Just what that means, no one knows, because the "conservative" letter writers never explain — they simply make the allegation. Instead of uttering vacuous accusations, conservatives should try to articulate a point of view or develop an argument.
Would you mind if I wrote a column that only asked questions? Would it be fair to look at the world and not try to provide answers but instead, ask questions where we might begin to seek answers?
Jason Coleman's sentiments in his letter to the editor "E.L.
In "Right to abort between woman, doctor not her legislators" (SN 11/11), Preeti Prasad stated that taking away a woman's right to choose would also take away her dignity as a woman.
It turns my stomach to see the city of East Lansing continue to rake in extra revenue by attacking its students and criminalizing their behavior.
During a time when the nation is pinching its pennies, it's refreshing to know that our university's president isn't sitting on stacks of cash like others. With a base salary of $216,000 plus $69,000 in annual deferred pay, MSU President M.
Dear East Lansing police, After every weekend, I have to read in The State News about how you are really cracking down on noise violations and how you are improving our community.
Who would have guessed that a Spartan, a Wolverine, a Bronco and a Chippewa would be four of the several representatives sitting down to talk about overpriced college degrees.
It was an honor for me, an East Lansing native and MSU graduate, to have worked with Illinois Gov. George Ryan and his Commission on Capital Punishment over the past three years.
I debated on whether to send in a letter expressing my disappointment at the way the MSU police department handled the entering of students at the Nov.
The Opinion Page is ridiculous. As a student and regular reader of The State News, I am always disappointed when I read the Opinion Page.
