Check the facts

Everyone makes mistakes, but MSU officials should check résumés better before making hiring decisions.

COMMENTARY

Coaches deserve to be booed, not team

I believe Eric McKinney’s encouraging fans to boo the football team when it doesn’t perform well was misdirected (“Players will whine, but booing understandable” SN 9/19). Whether carrying out the plays called from the sideline or simply “getting up for the game,” players follow the coaches’ lead.

COMMENTARY

Stop hating America

There is no place for hate in our world, but the unwelcome guest keeps showing its evil face. With the anniversary of the Sept.

COMMENTARY

Kundi right, know fellow Americans

This is in response to Rishi Kundi’s Wednesday column, “Opinions don’t make traitor, know someone before criticizing” (SN 9/19). He is correct that many, but not all, people automatically assume if your skin is not black or white, you are from a foreign land.

COMMENTARY

Christian crusade wants good for all

I am writing in response the letter to the editor “Christian society should change name” (SN 9/12) about Campus Crusade for Christ. From the perspective of someone not knowing all of the meanings of the word crusade, I can understand how concerns of past “religious” wars might be aroused.

Capital time

MSU leaders are kicking off the public phase of the university’s largest fund-raising effort Friday in grand fashion as they hope to raise around $1 billion by 2007.

COMMENTARY

Drug talk

With Canadian lawmakers recommending legalizing marijuana sales, U.S. officials should seriously engage in the debate to make new allowances for the drug. Earlier this month, a Canadian Senate panel recommended a law legalizing marijuana sales and use for anyone older than 16.

COMMENTARY

Police ride-alongs are time well spent

After participating in a three-hour ride-along with East Lansing police Saturday night (part of the eight hour requirement for Citizens Police Academy), I offer a challenge to MSU administrators and East Lansing landlords to sign up for a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night ride-along anytime after 11 p.m.

COMMENTARY

U should support legal marijuana

After reading the Page One story “Drug charges on rise in E.L.” (SN 9/13), I felt an urgent need to add my personal insight and opinions of marijuana use - particularly to the policies of campus police. I am an avid pot smoker and I know of many who also partake in this enjoyable, safe and relaxing activity.
