Penalties needed for U-M scandal
I would like to ask the editors of The State News who exactly should pay for the University of Michigan's crimes in regards to the Ed Martin scandal?
COMMENTARY
Spartans' fans not alone in behavior
As a past Virginia Tech Hokie, I can assure The State News that they also leave the stadium early, get up during halftime and get too drunk to go or to pay attention to the game ("Spartan fans won't even finish this" SN 9/22). That is not just an MSU flaw.
COMMENTARY
Sober up
Mixing alcohol and driving is always a bad cocktail. The state of Michigan is recognizing this by lowering the legal blood-alcohol content, or BAC, from .10 to .08, starting Wednesday.
COMMENTARY
GOP administration hurts U.S. economy
The policies and agenda of the President Bush White House carry the brunt force of a train wreck on America and its citizens.
COMMENTARY
Football players should apologize
The students of Notre Dame deserve an apology from the MSU football team. As a collective student body, we believe in the importance of sportsmanship and class.
COMMENTARY
Spartan uniforms don't belong at 'U'
Was anyone told about the new away football uniforms? How many levels of management did those ugly non-Spartan green pants make it through?
COMMENTARY
We dare 'U'
The State News would like to challenge MSU students to try something new: Vote in the upcoming East Lansing elections.
COMMENTARY
Aristocratic politicians is still a part of American society
We Americans have lived more than 200 years under the umbrella of a document that professes a belief that all "men" are created equal.
COMMENTARY
Communication
If a student has a concern regarding the university, he or she should have a place to go for that concern to be heard.

Life of a college student can lead to one gigantic headache
In my life, I have been able to endure getting 16 stitches in my head from falling off a bike, internal bruises from a seat belt after a car accident (I'd like to note I was not behind the wheel) and severe ear infections from the acid content in my ears (so my doctor says). But I cannot always handle the severe tension headaches which incapacitate me on countless occasions. I know I am not alone in this.
COMMENTARY
No ballot vote for affirmative action
The State News should reconsider its editorial concerning deciding affirmative action issues by a statewide ballot "Duking it out" (SN 9/24). The equal rights of any minority will never be achieved by putting such issues up for a vote.
COMMENTARY
Football team needs fan support
In response to the "Spartan fans won't even finish this" (SN 9/22) article, I want to say I am in total agreement.
COMMENTARY
Game on
The University of Michigan men's basketball team is finally done "doing time" for other people's crimes.
COMMENTARY
Spartan fans should participate
This is a response to The State News column, "Spartan fans won't even finish this," (SN 9/22). I would personally like to thank The State News for this column.
COMMENTARY
Safety first when driving by schools
I am enlisting the help of The State News readers again this fall. School has started at Red Cedar Elementary (at the west end of Sever Drive, which is the continuation of Wilson Road after you make that little jog to the left at Harrison Avenue) as well as at MSU.
COMMENTARY
Citizens have need for noise ordinance
The State News column "Noise violation policy applies to all: 'U' should test it out" was quite clever and valid to the extent that it argues for an even-handed application of the law.
COMMENTARY
Madonna works for her love of music
This is in response to The State News column "Madonna needs to leave the limelight". I know that the kiss between three of the most well-known female singers has been shown, shown and shown to the point of annoyance, but this doesn't warrant Madonna's music or performance as pure marketing.
COMMENTARY
Recall Circus
The "Super Bowl of debates" among California's recall candidates was a television circus that failed to focus on politics.
COMMENTARY
'U' aren't here
Thanks to the government, you might soon be able to eat your dinner in peace. The Federal Trade Commission is continuing the crusade to legalize a national "do-not-call" registry.
