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.
This is in response to the editorial "Helpful hikes," (SN 1/28). Calling for "no new taxes" doesn't help state government, it only keeps revenue from services. When an economy goes into a recession, tax revenues fall.
The university's proposed Ethernet fee for August is unfortunate, but because of increased use on campus, an added expense is necessary to cover the expansion of cost.
After reading the "Sex and the City" column, I was furious ("'Sex and the City' promotes negative images," SN 1/27). I think the columnist took the show way too literally.
I am writing because once again I sat through a Tom Izzo-coached basketball game and was offended by how many times we were overlooked.
Lately it seems people with conservative opinions have not been able to express their ideas on this campus. Oftentimes, being labeled a conservative is as good as being labeled a racist or a bigot.
I have spent the past month engaged in deep undercover investigative journalism in Washington. In the course of this dangerous work, I uncovered a very early draft of Tuesday's State of the Union Address.
Seven years later, Tom Izzo starts again. This time, no Mateen Cleaves, no Antonio Smith, no Charlie Bell or Andre Hutson.
Virginity, virginity, virginity. What is it about this word that is so uncool? I know people who are so disgusted by the idea of being a virgin that they would rather be caught with a stash of drugs by the police than to admit they were a virgin. This is hard for me to relate to because I grew up thinking of virginity as a positive thing.
It's heartbreaking to hear East Lansing school officials announce budget problems will bring the likely close of Spartan Village Elementary School less than one year after community members fought tooth and nail to keep the building open. East Lansing Public Schools Superintendent Tom Giblin said Monday the district's preliminary plan to compensate for a projected $4.2 million budget shortfall in the next fiscal year includes the closing of Spartan Village Elementary, 1460 Middlevale Road, the laying off of about 30 teachers and restructuring the district. In May, the East Lansing school board voted to downsize the Spartan Village school from a kindergarten-to-sixth-grade elementary to a kindergarten-to-second-grade school.
With Recruitment Week starting up, I think everyone should know the truth about social fraternities.
I was very shocked on Monday at the Brody Complex. As I was making my way to class, I noticed a man working.
