At least he's consistent. That is about all that can be said for Dearborn Mayor Michael Guido, who convinced the Arabic satellite TV news channel al-Jazeera to relocate a town hall-style meeting about Iraq's future. The news channel had hoped to secure a public venue within the city with the largest U.S.
I know many of us have tried to take a closer look at our actions because of the happenings of the past months.
Demonstrating that alcohol and a team loss can be a dangerous combination, some baseball fans have once again proven their irresponsibility when it comes to alcohol consumption. On April 15 and 19, fans endangered the lives of players, umpires and other fans when they rushed onto U.S.
As the heavier fighting and conflict in Iraq seem to be winding down, one message that I keep hearing over and over again from this country's administration to Middle Eastern countries and effectively the rest of the world is to learn from this war.
There is much truth in the timeless epigram: "The squeaky wheel gets the oil." The campus groups mentioned in Monday's editorial had every right in the world (or at least America) to flex their democratic muscle and demand to be heard by the MSU Board of Trustees ("Listen up" 4/14). When and if the board chooses to act upon the tabled issues, however, it will be interesting to see if the groups then accept the flip side of that democratic club they've been swinging.
I am writing to voice my opinion on the ever-apparent parking problems students have on campus. Every day, I leave a half hour early for class and circle around campus for what seems like 40 times.
As the university faces the challenge of a multi-million dollar budget cut, I was shocked to see the tennis courts next to the Duffy Daugherty Football Building were being resurfaced.
Jason C. Miller might have bashed the anti-war protesters ("Protesters were wrong on Iraq; now it's time to help out" SN 4/14), but what is wrong with that?
Although he surely was not the most desperate Spartan hoping to land a résumé booster this summer, MSU President M.
I heard their stories. Muslims. Jews. Young. Old. Israelis. Palestinians. Arabs. Caucasians. Foreigners.
When it comes to money, cold, hard cash is what we like to see, not the earmarked variety that has recently found a new home with the Capital Area Transportation Authority.
Let me start by helping The State News decide if the "Your Voice" thing is for "us" or not ("Graduates do not represent 'voice'" SN 4/16). Who is "us?" I didn't realize once you left MSU you were no longer affiliated with the university.
It seems city and university officials are constantly trying to prevent bad things from happening, and while their well-intentioned efforts are often understandable, there are some aspects of life that boil down to personal responsibility. Responsible drinking on a 21st birthday or any day of the week is one of those aspects. Still, on Tuesday, East Lansing's Responsible Hospitality Council passed new management policies to curb 21st birthday accidents.
Nobody on this campus should let the actions of a few hundred people affect the way that he or she values his or her degree or his or her reputation as a Spartan.
This letter is in response to the "I agree with Darrell" chalkings bashing the Boy Scouts of America.
While file-sharing on MSU's network is widely practiced, that does not make it legal. If MSU is punished by movie and record executives for students' behavior, those students who continue abusing the university's high-speed Internet connection deserve punishment. MSU students are being affected by increased efforts among music and movie industry executives to track down college students with shared files on their computers.
I agree with Darrell. For those of you curious about this message, which has appeared in numerous places around campus, Darrell Lambert is a 19-year-old former Boy Scout.
Gary Herbert, you are a fool ("Graduates do not represent 'voice'" SN 4/16). The fact of the matter is that until you actually prove yourself and graduate, you cannot distinguish yourself from the thousands of wannabe students that come to MSU and leave without a degree.
I used to think our president wasn't a bright man. But he's really not the word-bumbling buffoon we often see on television.
We would like to say thank you to all the students at the rally and Board of Trustees meeting on Friday("Students demonstrate against 'U' policies" SN 4/14). We are proud to stand with you.
