No excuses
MSU students might want to lock their doors, board up their windows and take cover. No, it's not a hurricane - it's yet another computer virus attack.
COMMENTARY
Arafat is obstacle in way of peace
Though Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is a democratically elected leader, there will be no peace and security for Israelis and no rise in the standard of living for Palestinians unless he is removed from the scene.
COMMENTARY
Time to talk it out
ASMSU representative Adam Raezler jumped the gun when speaking on behalf of MSU's undergraduate student government at the latest Association of Michigan Universities conference. As a representative for ASMSU, he informed AMU that ASMSU was considering disassociation from the organization.
COMMENTARY
Show fall spirit by costume-dressing
I agree with Tina Reed's column "Take time to participate in splendors of fall" (SN 9/16). I think fall is a great season and I think Halloween is a great holiday.
COMMENTARY
Column didn't do Cash death justice
The column reflecting the passing of music legend Johnny Cash "Reflections on 'The Man in Black' bring timeless musical memories" (SN 9/15) is terrible.
COMMENTARY
No station the same as The Edge
I tuned into 92.1 The Edge on Wednesday and to my absolute surprise, Kelly Clarkson was on. Mistake?
COMMENTARY
Graduate TAs bring experience to class
First of all, I want the reader to know that I am an international student and, where I lived, things worked in a substantially different way, so maybe my perspective could bring some fresh air to the discussion.
COMMENTARY
Democratic philosophy should aid in changing rule
I find it quite sad that out of everything that has happened in the past two weeks concerning the students and the city's new party rules that no one has looked into a quite simple solution.
COMMENTARY
Students should attend E.L. city council meetings
The East Lansing City Council recently held its first meeting since it passed the new noise ordinance and you would think, with all the buzz on campus about it, students would swarm the meeting and let the council know how they feel.
COMMENTARY
Local radio station was home for many
92.1 The Edge is gone. And like most unique radio stations, it has been replaced with one more conglomerate-owned pop radio station.
COMMENTARY
E.L. officials, students need to correct behavior
I am not writing in response to anything in particular. This is basically my personal frustration over East Lansing in general and the actions of MSU students at football games.
COMMENTARY
City council only wants students' money, not voice
Am I mistaken, or did the mayor of East Lansing just threaten the students of MSU with not three days in jail but ten years in prison?
COMMENTARY
'U' voice should focus on more than noise issues
First off, Kris Colpean's letter to the editor "Students shunned by E.L.
COMMENTARY
Walking to class isn't the end of the world; just read this
Recently, 40 percent of our metered parking spaces increased hourly rates from $1.25 to $1.50. This incited much commentary from enraged students who enjoy waking up five minutes before class expecting to rightfully land an open parking spot right next to the building where they have lecture. Yet despite the fact that all my classes are conveniently located at the farthest point imaginable from my house - somewhere near Canada, I think - I could care less about the increase, because I walk to class.
COMMENTARY
Community service not fair punishment
As of this week, it is OK as a student-athlete to take money from an athletic booster, who is looking to launder money out of his illegal lottery business, and lie about it.
COMMENTARY
Drug Education
It's no surprise that college-age people party, but it's comforting that while MSU officials encourage responsibility, students are paying attention. The Office of National Drug Control Policy released a survey Tuesday which showed 21-year-olds are the leading group of 11 million people ages 12 to 65 who have driven under the influence of drugs.
COMMENTARY
Students need leadership to overturn new ordinance
We were all affected by the new, questionably constitutional policy that was implemented in the city regarding noise violations.
COMMENTARY
Spartan Stadium shouldn't be nice
This is in response to The State News column "Booing unnecessary at football games" (SN 9/17). Let's remember one thing - this is college football.
COMMENTARY
Noise ordinance concerns can easily be voiced by 'U'
With all of the uproar over the newly approved noise violations, one must ask themselves, 'Self, what is the best way to be heard?' So I did this and came up with a great way.
COMMENTARY
Renovation money needed for classes
How about they throw some of those millions going toward the Spartan Stadium renovation into a photocopying and technology budget so students don't have to sit in outdated computer labs reading 200-page course packets that have been scanned onto the Internet?
