Since the beginning of the new year and the new semester, almost every time I turn to the Opinion Page of The State News, I see more of the same letters and waste of space as the day before.
Gov. Jennifer Granholm said what everyone was expecting to hear - higher-education funding is not safe from the chopping block. The $5-million budget cut will force MSU to become more creative in tightening its belt.
I am writing in response to "Ozone deserves Izzone-type respect" (SN 1/30). I have nothing against the Ozone, but this 1984 graduate is going on bad information.
After the recent unfortunate incident involving a student being held at knife point in Case Hall, residents of dorms at MSU must be reminded that just because we live in the dorms, we are not always safe.
Who is responsible for allowing "Student finds racial slurs written on door" (SN 1/30) to be printed?
It's difficult to know how to properly mourn NASA's Columbia crew - the world's lost heroes.
I would just like to thank Chrystal Liebold and The State News for printing an article that brings to light an unnecessary stereotype ("Virginity is not something to be ashamed of, but to celebrate," SN 1/30). It's a shame the way society portrays virgins as na
Several recent columns and letters to the editor, including Colleen Card's ("Conservative side needs to be heard," SN 1/30), have expressed the views that political conservatives are not heard or tolerated on this campus.
When President Bush gave his State of the Union address, I joined my friends in someone's room, surrounding the television, hanging on every word.
In response to Jason C. Miller's column ("Peaceful solution might not be possible in violent country," SN 1/27), I agree with nearly every point he made.
To follow or not to follow? That is the question. Last week while catching up after the weekend over lunch, a couple of my friends and I were discussing what we saw for our lives after college.
We must realize in this age of unparalleled technological progress it is only going to get harder to stop rival countries from obtaining weapons of mass destruction. Realizing this, we cannot use possession of weapons as the sole reason to attack a country.
I am writing in response to S. Ann Jones' letter "Ozone deserves Izzone-type respect," (SN 1/30). I agree fans in the upper deck deserve to be recognized.
MSU students might not have the convenience of downloading music and movies for free any longer if the university is forced to give out names.
The State News has done it again. The editorial "State of fear" (SN 1/30) was way off the mark and may have been the most blatant example of the liberal bias of The State News.
Most people are familiar with the phrase, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." But who has ever heard, "When the economy gets ugly, job-seekers get scared"? Makes sense though, doesn't it?
I just wanted to send a shout-out to the Izzone and friends who were in attendance at the MSU men's basketball game against Indiana - you guys rock.
Usually, American presidents use their annual State of the Union address as a report card for the government.
Every time I pick up The State News, I am reminded of Nate's hate. Contrarianism is cool on campus.
