Celebrate home team with class
I am part of the MSU community. I graduated from MSU, and I've chosen to make my home, raise my children and have my career here in East Lansing.
COMMENTARY
Halloween's best trick, treat comes from spooky ghost tale
My downloaded Halloween screensaver politely informed me that today is Oct. 31. I quickly flashed back to the tacky costumes I adored making for Halloween during my childhood.
COMMENTARY
Our letter
If students want to voice higher education concerns to politicians, it's now as simple as writing a letter.
COMMENTARY
Free markets cause health-care costs to get out of control
It's not sexy or scandalous. Nor does it incite the political pundits to rant and cant and blow the political house asunder.
COMMENTARY
Smoker deserves to win Heisman
It's great that the Spartans have East Lansing excited about football again. John L. Smith's squad is leading the Big Ten with a mark of 4-0 (7-1 overall) - look out Michigan.
COMMENTARY
Complaints are not just simple whining
This is in response to the current influx of responses regarding the University of Michigan T-shirts.
COMMENTARY
Not every issue can be taken as a joke
In response to the rash of letters telling us to not to take jokes on T-shirts so seriously: It saddens me to realize how truly far our society is from ever achieving any modicum of equality.
COMMENTARY
Celebration
On Saturday, MSU students need to remember that celebration does not involve destruction. Campus and city officials are encouraging fans not to rush the field when the game is over.
COMMENTARY
Spartans are more than underdogs
In "Spartans, U-M past sets 'U' as underdog" (SN 10/27), The State News laments that MSU has lost "16 of the 28 matchups on their home turf." But they fail to mention the far more puzzling (and optimistic) statistic that MSU has won every home game (except 1997) against U-M in the past ten years, despite being consistently ranked lower than U-M (sometimes significantly) at the time of each engagement.
COMMENTARY
World is not meant to be fluffy, nice
What is wrong with people today? That is all that I can say in regard to some of the recent letters published by The State News.
COMMENTARY
'U' wild card
If students are going to talk the talk, they also need to walk the walk. Although polls show great student interest in the 2004 election, it is only the actual votes that count in the end.
COMMENTARY
Guest speaker deserved respect
On Oct. 22, I had the privilege to attend the Tenth Annual Joseph (Jen-Hwa) Lee Memorial Lecture given at the Kellogg Center.
COMMENTARY
Lawmakers hide behind rules that add jail time to offenses
I've always been taught that the best way to solve a problem is to tackle it head on, not ignore it.
COMMENTARY
SN should endorse conservative bill
The "Politics 101" editorial (SN 10/27) just proves how liberal The State News really is.
COMMENTARY
Student leaders need 'U' to help
For the past few months, there have been many discussions regarding the party-noise ordinance that was enacted in the city of East Lansing and the implications of its passage.
COMMENTARY
On the right track
After claiming to be "sidestepped" by the city council, ASMSU officials are working to rectify the mistakes of the summer by proposing an amendment to the party-noise ordinance.
COMMENTARY
Newspaper erred in editorial support
How liberal is this paper? It gives support to something not everyone believes in, National Coming Out Days, and yet turns right around after that and bashes Bible Week for that very same reason.
COMMENTARY
'U' rivalry hurt by game start time
As a senior graduating in December, I personally am upset that this year's in-state matchup is scheduled for noon on Saturday.
COMMENTARY
Judgement
After months of useless bat-swinging by the lower courts, the big, bad U.S. Supreme Court soon will be stepping up to the plate to face the Bush administration's terrorism-fighting strategies.
COMMENTARY
Chemistry Day will be fun for visitors
I must say that with all of the sensitivity issues that have been floating around campus recently, I am shocked that the article "Chemistry Day hopes to make science fun" (SN 10/23) would have such a thoughtless headline.
