I would like to respond to the letter "Uniforms without names need to go" (SN 10/3). Dale Hitchcock, if you think that the MSU football team did this to make money, you are wrong.
I would like to make a few remarks concerning President Bush's destructive policies, in response to Tim Phelps's letter "Bush continues to help Americans" (SN 9/24). Bush is not providing a better tomorrow for Americans with such policies as illusionary tax cuts, destruction of the environment and eliminating civil liberties with the USA Patriot Act.
The other night I had to sit in the smoking section of Applebee's because the restaurant was packed, and I didn't want to wait for a booth in the nonsmoking section to become available.
How bracing it is to see at least a handful of MSU students putting themselves on the line in their idealistic quest for a better world.
This letter is in response to the column by John Bice "Ten Commandments statue has no place in public domain" (SN 9/26). As a Christian, I took offense to every aspect of Bice's column for a number of reasons, largely due to his inaccuracy and ignorant bias against Christianity.
You know that tone of voice or look in one's eyes when he or she is the bearer of really bad news?
ASMSU is finally stepping up its representation of students as MSU's undergraduate student government is set to host a forum to discuss the East Lansing party-noise ordinance.
For three straight class periods, my history class has been cut short due to a shortage in handicapped parking spaces.
Some state legislators need a heavy dose of reality. Despite the relentless crusade for equality for members of the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community, some lawmakers are trying to reverse those efforts.
This week, I'm writing about something we encounter at least a few times in our lives but never really talk about.
While MSU should take pride that it is one of the safest schools in the Big Ten, it should recognize that crime will always happen and the university should strive to keep safety a top priority.
The state Legislature has lofty expectations for higher education. A demand for guaranteed low tuition rates without any reciprocation in state funding is unreasonable.
I have always been an MSU fan and now you are turning me off because of your greed. Any sports team that cannot have players' names on their jerseys do not deserve to ever get TV coverage. The only reason for taking off the names is to force the crowd to purchase a program to find out who the players are.
The letter "Citizens have need for noise ordinance" by J.J.
I am writing in response to University of Notre Dame student Rachel Larson's letter concerning the actions of some of the Spartan players after MSU's victory over the Irish ("Football players should apologize"). While she claims to be speaking on behalf of the "collective student body" here at Notre Dame, I assure you that most people here are not as easily brought to tears and shouts of rage.
After reading many of the replies to the story covering the demise of 92.1 The Edge ("Radio station loses 'Edge.' turns to pop"), I felt compelled to write in and express my feelings on the station going off the air. As far as I can see it, The Edge was another major music machine playing the music they were paid to play.
I am going to try to give The State News a bit of advice regarding the column "Life of a college student can lead to one gigantic headache". The doctor was right, you just need to relax.
This letter is in response to John Bice's column "Ten Commandments statue has no place in public domain" (SN 9/26). I would just like to comment briefly on his rather passionate defense of the U.S.
Due to the outrageous events that have occurred during California's attempted recall of Gov. Gray Davis, I believe that all the states should take a look at how they handle the recall process and whatever follows.
