Good faith
It’s always good to reach an agreement without having to resort to extreme measures - especially those that would leave both parties dissatisfied.

Dont knock Indian group if not helping
This is in response to the letter to the editor “Cultural show poster has incorrect map” (SN 4/8), regarding how the Council of Indian Undergraduate Students committed a gaffe in regard to its annual cultural show, Satrang. If you were actually present at Satrang this year, you would see for yourself how clearly we represented the various regions of India.
COMMENTARY
Cheney actions dont represent U
The possibility that Vice President Dick Cheney might speak at an MSU commencement is disturbing (“Cheney might speak to ‘U,’ SN 4/11). Not only is he an active part of an administration that has mounted an unprecedented campaign to restrict the public access to information about goings-on in the federal government, he has personally refused to reveal the sources of advice he received during the formulation of a draft version of the Bush administration’s energy policy.

Making best of job helps better self too
This is in response to the letter to the editor “Change jobs if you want more benefits” (SN 4/8). You can’t walk in another person’s shoes, but it seems like Chad Jordan is doing what he can to improve his lot in life.
COMMENTARY
Underwood years not worth honoring
In the letter “‘U’ should honor Underwood’s tenure” (SN 4/10), Richard Goldman should take a second to think about one of Clarence Underwood’s biggest accomplishments, or should I say one of his biggest faults, before leaving the office of athletics director.

Modern definition of wild twisted, warped; girl videos are proof
Due to the unfortunate circumstances of my education, it is necessary that I wake up at 4 a.m., six days a week.
COMMENTARY
SN not out to make greeks look bad
Why is there a tendency for members of the greek system to turn articles written about greek incidents into an anti-greek issues (“Article portrayed greeks negatively,” SN 4/11)? Stop trying to portray yourselves as the victims.
COMMENTARY
Diverse faculty
Though Spartans usually have a lot to be proud of, MSU’s low percentage of tenured minority faculty is not one part of that group.
COMMENTARY
Insensitive
It’s sad that during the same week MSU greeks across campus are celebrating the good deeds they do for the Spartan community, the disgraceful actions of one fraternity have given the entire greek system a black eye. Several members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity wore pink, sleeveless T-shirts that had phrases such as “I like little boys,” “Capt.
COMMENTARY
Dont charge women to prove your point
I would like to agree with Andrew Banyai’s column, “Students shouldn’t be charged for death” (SN 4/9). I think Banyai brings up some excellent points.
COMMENTARY
Safer drinking
It’s too early to tell if sending the message to drink responsibly has been working enough to lower alcohol-related accidents, but it’s also too soon to give up trying to promote it. A study released Tuesday by the Task Force on College Drinking, showed 1,400 college students are killed each year in alcohol-related accidents.
COMMENTARY
America is reasonable party in Middle East conflict
Love him or hate him, President Bush has been admirably measured in his response to terror. He waited until he had evidence of Osama bin Laden’s culpability to invade Afghanistan.
COMMENTARY
Article portrayed greeks negatively
I would like to express my extreme disappointment in The State News’ biased portrayal of the greek system in the article “T-shirts prompt greek action” (SN 4/10). What does The State News have against greeks?
COMMENTARY
Fraternity showed LBGT insensitivity
In Wednesday’s article “T-shirts prompt greek action” (SN 4/10), Murat Bashelvaci is paraphrased as saying fraternity members didn’t want to harm anyone. Let me get this straight.
COMMENTARY
Good move
While it sometimes can seem only bad things can come from bad situations, former Lansing Councilmember Louis Adado did a good thing Monday night by resigning from his leadership position.Adado’s decision came on the heels of accusations from two city council staff members, who claim he sexually harassed them.

Playboy ad not part of the big problem
I am writing in response to Jennifer Waldron and Brenda Fite’s letter to the editor (“Lack of judgment used in running ad,” SN 4/5). Playboy magazine is not out to injure or defame anyone.
COMMENTARY
With graduation nearing, one should stop and remember childhood
It’s been a long road. I’ve stumbled to early morning classes for five years, pretended to take notes, kept from nodding off and ultimately somehow earned adequate grades. Now, nearly half a decade after beginning a collegiate career I sincerely enjoyed, the time is swiftly approaching when I’m being forced to realize that perhaps, at age 23, it’s time to grow up. Graduation is in May.
COMMENTARY
Students deserve to face charges
In his column, Andrew Banyai does have a good point in that “it’s very comfortable to have someone to blame” (“Students shouldn’t be charged for death,” SN 4/9). But he misses the point that these people did break the law.
COMMENTARY
Kundi doesnt know what hes writing
In response to Rishi Kundi’s column “Making sense of Middle East violence is impossible” (SN 4/4). He states, “I, and most likely all of you, are totally in the dark about events across the world,” then decides to spit out his opinion anyway.
