The recent decision by the MSU Board of Trustees to spend more than $80 million to renovate three buildings on campus flies in the face of what students have been told in the recent past. I sat on a committee that met with MSU President M.
On Saturday afternoon, I had the privilege of watching our football game from the Notre Dame student section.
Muslim Muhamad Haydar disliked Jim Peterson's thought that Muslims who kill innocent civilians are welcomed into heaven in his letter to the editor "Alumnus wrong about Muslims" (SN 9/8). I think it would be more prudent for Haydar to dislike the fact that there seems to be an infinite number of Muslims scattered throughout the world that agree with Peterson.
In response to The State News article "Student turns in self, toy gun after e-mail" (SN 9/19), since when is a BB gun a toy?
Question: Does rain have some sort of mysteriously adverse affect on the molecular structure of Spartans? Answer: Seems so. Fact: Thanks to Isabel, it rained Monday.
Although the East Lansing City Council has decided to propose jail time and disproportionately high fines for infractions against the city code, I would like to preface this column by assuring my readers that I am neither writing this column from jail nor writing it on my way to jail.Instead, following the onslaught of controversy surrounding the new noise violation rules imposed by the East Lansing City Council, I have just finished reading the new ordinance.

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.
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.
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.
I tuned into 92.1 The Edge on Wednesday and to my absolute surprise, Kelly Clarkson was on. Mistake?
