In a country engulfed in violence, terrorist attacks are an everyday concern for the people of Israel.
Campus safety advocates hope a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court will begin to open the doors to disciplinary records and proceedings at colleges and universities. The ruling prevents students and parents from suing universities that violate the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, which protects students’ educational records from public disclosure.
Raphael Adley wants people everywhere to incite a riot. With the publication of his card game, “Riot!,” he takes a jab at campus riots everywhere, though the game was loosely based on the riots at MSU in the late 1990s.
“Everybody deserves a second chance.” That’s not something you hear in the business world very often, and it’s certainly not something anybody hears in relation to the flaming wreckage of the dot-com business model.
After debating the necessity of requiring long hours to train new doctors, the organization responsible for accrediting the nation’s teaching hospitals approved new rules last week that prohibit medical residents from working more than 80 hours a week. The new policy by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education is a step forward for doctors-in-training and the quality of care for patients. Medical residents have not been restricted in their work hours, although a recommendation for no more than 80 hours has been in place for some time.
It is with some trepidation that I voice an opinion that might raise the anger of a few people on campus.
Disputes between landlords and tenants are commonplace in college towns. Fortunately, most spats are on a relatively small scale, dealing with problems such as getting leaky faucets fixed or covering minor damage to a property.
I am writing about the grading policies at MSU, or lack thereof. There is a misconception that a student’s grades reflect the student, while realistically, students grades lay a great deal in the hands of their professors.
“Experience,” wrote Benjamin Disraeli, “is the child of Thought, and Thought is the child of Action.
Plans already are in place for a $10,000 renovation of the Ann Street Plaza, at the corner of M.A.C.
Why should we reward terrorism? I have tried to sympathize with the Palestinian people, the oppression they have suffered in the occupied territories and the continued building of settlements by Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.
Michigan has the 11th highest state tax on cigarettes in the country. If the proposed 50 cent addition was to be passed, that would place Michigan first.
The students charged in connection to the case of Eric Blair, the 18-year-old Bay City resident who drowned in October in the Red Cedar River, have served their purpose - at least, as far as the county prosecutor’s office is concerned. Seeking to make a quick impact on irresponsible drinking, prosecutors used five MSU students as scapegoats, giving the public somebody to point a finger at in connection with Blair’s death.
I personally loved the recently published column by Andrew Goetz, “World Cup competition worth staying up for, U.S.
I read Drew Harmon’s column, “Modern relationships outdated, people may be better off alone,” (SN 6/17), in the paper, and I wanted to offer a counter vision to his grocery-store analogy.
This is in response to the letter by E. H. Muldoon, “America in need of collective ideals,” (SN 6/17). Muldoon is not sure what he is talking about - is it the homosexuality that’s hurting the “American way,” or is it the immigrants?
What a weekend! In case many of you haven’t noticed (and judging by the 2:30 a.m. EST kick-off time Monday morning, you very well might not have), the U.S.
It’s been more than eight months since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, but the threat of terrorism is not over. We were reminded of that recently in East Lansing, generally considered an unlikely place for terrorists to strike.
A charge of racism is an accusation that cannot be taken lightly. But steps also should be taken to verify such claims and give the accused a chance to respond. Former Lansing official Genice Rhodes-Reed stood at a public meeting this week to accuse Mayor David Hollister’s administration of subtle racism.
I am writing in response to the article “Students’ motives doubted,” (SN 6/17). I first must say that regardless of whether the city helped out the students, or as some are saying, “asked them to start the process” of annexation, it is a raw deal and should not be allowed in the first place.
