MSU has been quite the trend-setter. The University of Minnesota adopted a riot policy last week following the violent melee that erupted April 12-13 on the Twin Cities' campus when its hockey team won the national championship.
Tuesday was just another instance of the "new and improved" mail server not being so new, nor improved.
While Joseph Clark is entitled to his opinions, he is not entitled to rewrite history and invent facts that seriously distort the origins and evolution of the Israeli-Palestinian-Arab conflict ( "Unrest between nations childish, peace must overcome war," SN 6/18). Contrary to Clark's claim, the Jewish nation is not "a new kid" who has only recently appeared in the Middle East "neighborhood." As a matter of fact, the Jewish presence in what is now Israel/West Bank antedates the presence of Arabs in that area by at least 2,500 years.
Way back when, in the days of a long time ago, church and state were intertwined. In fact, they were all but one in the same.The Vatican had a large influence on all kinds of public policy, and they were corrupt - taking money from the common man for confessionals, in order to "absolve" he or she of his or her sins. This would eventually end.
This is in response to the letter from D.M. Zielinski ( "Athletics shouldn't be favored by 'U,'" SN 6/18). I would first like to point out the vast majority of student athletes are good students and contribute greatly to the community of MSU.
I have an ongoing argument with my boyfriend. When I question him about confusing "guy things," I'm refused an answer. "Why is it because I'm a guy, why do you make classifications like that?" My response is always that I've never actually seen a woman who holds her silverware like a caveman.
Being charitable is giving money, or any aide to people who need it. But when those who can spare the money take away from the charity, they're given a jail sentence. Jacquelyn Allen-MacGregor was ordered Monday to serve four years in prison, three years of supervised release and pay $2.08 million in restitution for embezzling more than $2 million from the East Lansing-based Capital Area United Way, which employed her for 20 years.
Summer brings more people to the road because of family vacations and students taking road trips. And despite all the construction on campus, the roads are still alive with students driving to their summer classes.
Lawmakers quickly forgot the principles in which this country was formed. The government's policies seemed to have changed after the Sept.
Finally the university has discovered a way to eliminate spam mail: end access to your e-mail for hours.The amount of times mail.msu.edu has shut down is ridiculous, and it doesn't seem to be getting better anytime soon.
In response to Brett A. Gillespie's letter ("Bush weapons 'lie' differs from Clinton," SN 6/16), he's correct, Bill Clinton was found to have given false statements while under oath.
Let's play pretend.Go ahead, just close your eyes, this won't hurt a bit.Let's go back to your childhood.
President Bush did not lie. He did not exaggerate and he did not bend the truth. Bush told the world, through Defense Secretary Colin Powell at the United Nations, everything we knew that wouldn't jeopardize the security of our operatives in the field.
The First Amendment to the Constitution is one many people hold dear. Among the freedoms guaranteed in this amendment is the right to peaceably assemble.And people across the country, especially students, should do just that when the Supreme Court soon hands down its ruling in the University of Michigan affirmative action case.
In a recent letter Brett A. Gillespie states, rather incredulously, that Bush "has not broken any American law," and unlike Clinton, is not eligible for impeachment ("Bush weapons 'lie' differs from Clinton," SN 6/16). Whether or not weapons of mass destruction are ever found in Iraq, it is clear at the time of the war they were not readily accessible in any quantity, or they would have been already discovered by now, even though Iraq is, by Bush's assertion, "a big country." But lying about weapons of mass destruction is not the only reason Bush should be impeached and then removed from office.
I am all for sports. I encouraged my children to participate in baseball, tennis, football, archery and any other sports they might enjoy.
The Lansing Police Department has started giving out free drug test kits to parents. But why stop there?
One could argue Candice Miller was Terri Lynn Land's greatest asset in her campaign for the secretary of state's office in last year's general election.
I would like to correct Josh Haussman's assertion that MSU does not have any Nobel Prize winners ('U' will benefit from "BasketBowl" SN 6/11). While it is nowhere near as many as we'd like to have, we do have one Nobel laureate alumnus, Alfred D.
Animals taken from shelters and pounds should not become research and teaching subjects. Consider each individual companion cat or dog and what it goes through after being transferred from a human home to a shelter to a dealer and then from a Class 'B' dealer to a laboratory for lethal experiments. After being held temporarily at the shelter and being exposed to several other animals that might have underlying maladies, the animals are transferred to animal dealers who are required by federal law to hold them for only 10 days.
