Dueling column: The Michigan Daily is stronger on the field, in the newsroom
Every year, we trade these columns back and forth, and every year, we debate the same talking points.

A rivalry that divides can also unite
It's that time of year again ? this weekend, MSU is taking on their in-state rival U-M in my favorite football game of the season.

Security on 'Batman v Superman' set was too strict, inconvenient
We don't need to remind you of the frenzy surrounding the Broad museum.

Moderation key for both partying and Netflix binges
Growing up, I always thought college would be a non-stop party.

Please stop customizing your cars
On a daily basis, I see beautiful cars all over campus.

There's no need to panic about an Ebola outbreak in the U.S.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, chances are you’ve heard about the Ebola outbreak.

Michigan, stop the charade
I was raised a Spartan. For that reason, I know what it means to have a football team that struggles sometimes.

LETTER — MSU alumni stood by football team on gameday
As an MSU alumni, a 20-year season ticket holder and a former dedicated student section attendee, the topic being debated around campus (and apparently the state) regarding this season’s student section attendance is a topic I feel quite strongly about.
COMMENTARY
Don’ t be so quick to blame students for empty section
Mark Hollis, you deserve to be embarrassed — even angry — about the MSU football student section, because it was embarrassing toward the end of Saturday’s game. With that being said, I’m tired of the students always getting the heat.
COMMENTARY
Student section booing "It's On Us" campaign ad is disrespectful
At the Nebraska game this Saturday at Spartan Stadium, an ad came on the big screens for The White House’s It’s On Us campaign, which is a call to arms for everyone ? yes, everyone, “not just men” ? to stop perpetuating the culture that generates sexual assault.The stadium watched quietly as the commercial played.

Editorial: More handicapped seating is necessary in Spartan Stadium
Advertising junior Katie Feirer has a very simple request.She'd like to experience an MSU football game the same way her peers do.Feirer is wheelchair-bound, and as such, has been segregated from fellow student fans, because handicap accomodations in Spartan Stadium have effectively banished her to the other side of the stadium.And it's not just handicapped students who are forced into a different experience ? other disabled fans have been shuttled to the press box when there aren't enough handicap-accessible seats.
COMMENTARY
You bought football season tickets, now use them
For the last two home games, the Spartan football team has come out of the tunnel to an empty top deck and a Rose Bowl banner. A Rose Bowl banner that, if it adorned the stadiums of other schools, would be enough to get every seat in the stadium filled.
COMMENTARY
If extracurricular activities aren’t benefiting you, hit the books
Spreading yourself thin isn’t a wise choice if you haven’t established yourself and a daily schedule. If your routine is constantly changing and evolving, it’s hard to be organized and stay up to speed with the things that really matter, like doing well in your classes.

Concerts need to come through for students
For as long as can be remembered, concerts have been to college kids what Florida is to tourists. The best-known names in the entertainment industry — be it rappers, singers, bands or comedians — always seem to possess a magnetic force, hauling in crazed fans, truckloads of revenue, and, most importantly, great nights all around.
COMMENTARY
Height differences should not hinder a good relationship
Our society tells us that couples need to be a certain way in order to be compatible. It tells us to completely ignore an entire group of people, based solely on physical attributes. It took some soul-searching to realize that doesn't matter.

Part-time job applications develop longtime career skills
Job applications are one of those necessary steps in a career that promises more frustration than opportunity. A single application can take quite some time to fill out. And sometimes, the best you can hope for after submitting an application is briefly meeting with the manager and shaking hands.
COMMENTARY
MSU is too digital, too impersonal
I spent more than a week submitting my application to MSU. My best friends, sister and parents extensively combed through it with me. Not because it was extremely tedious, although it was, but because it was online.
COMMENTARY
Moving to college can cause pet withdrawals
Being a devoted animal lover and living on campus without a pet is not something that will get easier with time. In fact, I feel like it gets harder with each passing day. Human contact is nice, but nothing beats animal cuddles.
COMMENTARY
Football season is more than tossing the pigskin
Football is much more than a game for so many Spartans, and as a student body we should remember that. For me, MSU football goes beyond throwing around the pigskin. It is the continued creation of a community that can be found around the world.
