You know the way your stomach feels when you are sick? Well, I distinctly remember that same exact feeling in my stomach as I read David Thompson's column "Christian beliefs don't belong with conservative actions" (SN 9/9). I don't blame him for the bad column, but I do think he is misinformed.
On Aug. 28, many people across the nation took part in observing the 40th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech, "I Have A Dream." On Thursday, people reflected on the horrible Sept.
MSU's Graduate Employees Union is wasting its time by protesting undergraduate teaching assistants.
The State News might be "independent," but certainly it is closely associated with MSU in the minds of most readers.
To those who found The State News' photo story "Stripped Down" (SN 9/8) inappropriate; many college-aged people are scandalous.
This letter is a reaction to the article "Court action spurs lift of E.L.
I would like to offer my support of Jason Miller's "Standard for Free Speech is Truth" (SN 9/3). In view of both the letter and the spirit of the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech, we must understand that both our personal responsibilities and our constitutional liberties are both equal and valid.
I wish now that I had withdrawn my $5 support of The State News last week along with the protesters.
In April 2002, the MSU greek panel found Pi Kappa Phi in violation of the system's anti-hazing and anti-discrimination policies and ordered the fraternity to write letters of apology and attend educational seminars.
MSU's campus was built at a time when officials did not anticipate thousands of cars on its roads daily.
My Journalism 200 professor gave our class an assignment to read The New York Times daily until Sept.
I am disgusted with Monday's photo story "Stripped Down." It is neither newsworthy nor MSU-related.
Hallelujah for David Thompson's column contradicting the long held belief that Republicans best serve the Christian vote "Christian beliefs don't belong with conservative actions". Although President Bush consistently reminds the public that he reads the Bible every morning, does he not relay scripture to his actions the rest of the day?
It doesn't make sense that someone should need a gun while they are swimming. But an East Lansing gun ordinance, forbidding the possession of concealed weapons in such areas as the Hannah and Bailey community centers, the East Lansing Public Library and the Family Aquatic Center, is being repealed after similar local bans in Ferndale were challenged and defeated by the Michigan Coalition for Responsible Gun Owners. Last November, the local ordinance was approved in East Lansing by a 4-1 vote.
I just read the Monday edition of The State News and would like to say that I am appalled the newspaper would run a full-page story, if you call it a story, on a supposedly straight stripper from the greater Lansing area. I would like to add that I am offended that the newspaper even made the whole page color, as compared to the rest of the paper, which is in black and white.
Traditionally, college students and liberalism hold similar values; Democrats can always count on left-wing students as a reliable voting base.
As a conservative Republican, I would have to agree with most of what Andrew Goetz had to say in his column "Republican Party members take power to new extremes". The problem with the column was that it was somewhat incomplete.
Too many have dyed the American soil red for us to wash away all of the sacrifices and principles that bare the liberties and freedoms enjoyed since our independence. Today marks the two-year anniversary of the Sept.
OK, here it goes. How about thinking about all those things that you would like to declare illegal. This is a totally personal list because we are individuals and we are very self-centered in many of our actions.
The State News photo story "Stripped down" was completely inappropriate and out of place.
