This year, I’m asking my mommy and daddy to buy me an amendment to the Michigan Constitution for Christmas.With the November election approaching fast and holiday shopping advertisements again descending upon us, Michigan residents hopefully will not be taught the lesson that money really can buy anything in politics.On Election Day - Nov.
I couldn’t prevent myself from contributing to the debate over what to do with football head coach Bobby Williams.
Students living in Bryan Hall were making a lot of noise over a new rule that required them to keep doors closed.
I am writing in response to Joshua Feinberg’s letter to the editor “Israel’s shown great restraint in conflict” (SN 10/10). Anyone is free to hold their own opinions, but The State News has a responsibility not to publish hateful and insightful speech demonizing an entire population.
This is in response to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday’s letters to the editor about football head coach Bobby Williams.
It is hard to put into words what a letdown the last six weeks have been for a Spartan football fan and an MSU graduate. It also is hard to comprehend how a team draped with so much talent has stumbled its way to a 3-3 start with five of its first six games at home. What else can we as a university provide for football head coach Bobby Williams to produce a campaign worthy of a national ranking?
It all comes down to dollars and cents. I am truly considering relinquishing my season tickets for football next season.
Recently my friends and I were watching “The Real World,” as we do together almost every Tuesday evening - spectators to the squeezed-out drama of seven messed-up strangers living together in a Las Vegas casino suite.
This letter is in response to Monday’s letter to the editor that said football head coach Bobby Williams will develop into as good a coach as he is a recruiter (“Don’t dog Williams, give him a chance” SN 10/14). What a joke. Good coaches don’t develop in the Big Ten.
The Michigan State Police is making use of the Internet to provide easy access to information about Michigan’s most-wanted criminals, a move that could prove beneficial to the capture of these individuals.
I think I speak on behalf of 95 percent of the student body when I say football head coach Bobby Williams should be relieved of his duties at MSU.
Football head coach Bobby Williams must be given the same chance as his predecessors. The tone of letters written to The State News as of late, calling for Bobby Williams’ head on a platter, are upsetting, but not surprising.
I am getting sick of people comparing Bobby Williams’ first few years as head football coach to the first few years of men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo.
After another dismal performance by the Spartans on Saturday, fans again want Bobby Williams’ head on a platter.
A notable team of Michigan leaders has been assembled to lobby the federal government for MSU’s bid to bring a significant scientific tool to campus.
When will the talks begin about the head football coaching position next season, and who will fill it? I realize the season isn’t over, but the frustration with football head coach Bobby Williams is spreading among many fans and alumni.
Last week, I found myself looking through a pile of old political cartoons and came upon one with a tombstone that read “50 Million War Dead, 1900-1999” as its shadow lay over a map of Europe. It made me wonder: After Congress gave President Bush the OK to use unilateral force against Iraq, could there be -in 100 years, or even in 50 years - a political cartoon with the same tombstone and the same number, but a different shadow spread over Africa or the Middle East? Or, worse yet, a shadow hanging over North America?
With lawmakers facing what many expect to be a major money crunch, it seems the MSU Board of Trustees is dreaming to request an extra $1,000 per student in the state’s next budget cycle. But it is good to see Spartan leaders lobbying with gusto as Michigan is set to see many leadership changes because of term limits. Spartans have been at the short end of an appropriations gap among Michigan’s three research universities - Wayne State University, the University of Michigan and MSU - for too long.
Sunday was a sad day for America, as national historian Stephen Ambrose lost his battle with cancer. Ambrose was an avid proponent of learning about and spreading America’s rich cultural heritage to people throughout the country.
It’s frustrating to watch the Spartan football program continue to crumble when the simple remedy is to call for the “coach’s head.” The question can be made why the athletics director would equate this lack of performance to his own first two years as a coach and term the program as in a “rebuilding” stage.
