Responsibility on the part of businesses and restaurants that serve alcohol promotes responsibility all around.
I enjoy a satirical, well-drawn political cartoon based on current events. It does not matter whether I agree or disagree with the viewpoint.
Don’t be ambivalent enough to let ASMSU representatives outvote the vast majority of us who are sick of them spending our money on fruitless ventures. Why should you care about $16 of your money?
I’m writing in response to men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo’s ridiculous public complaints about MSU’s seeding in the NCAA Tournament (“Izzo upset with No.
Raising $15,000 in 30 days is a lofty goal for organizers of annual Michigan Pride events, but it can be done.
Throughout my four years at MSU, distractions have always been present in the Main Library. What was formerly a place of study has become a plethora of chaotic stimuli, ranging from laptop computer games, ringing cell phones and coffee shop talk.
Instead of complaining about his team’s spot in the NCAA Tournament, MSU men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo should be a positive force for the Spartans as they head back to Bracketville this year. Izzo was right to predict he would “get ripped for crying over spilled milk” by complaining about the team’s No.
“God Bless America” is fine. But when will we say, “God bless the world,” immediately after?
Although the University of Michigan’s graduate student union held a one-day walkout Monday, MSU’s Graduate Employees Union should not follow suit.
Rarely do I feel it necessary to respond publicly to the opinions of others, but Rebecca Daneff’s letter (“Honors College Ball not worth coverage,” SN 2/28) is so outrageous that I feel I must. As a former honors college student at my previous institution, I take personal exception to Daneff’s labeling of all Honors College students as “repressed” or “given a newfound freedom.” For anyone who knows me, those are the last words that will come to mind.
On Monday, I decided to support the Graduate Employees Union by not going to class. But unlike many students who took this opportunity to skip class, I am writing this letter to The State News to show my support for the teaching assistants of MSU.
Blame prohibition of drugs for the reason there will be no funding increase for MSU next year. Since three-fourths of felony crime touches the war on drugs, imagine what a peace dividend there would be if we ended prohibition.
If university apartment residents want to better their living conditions, the University Apartments’ Council of Residents is their best avenue.
I am writing about Drew Harmon’s view on the movie “Queen of the Damned” (“‘Damned’ is goth at its worst,” SN 2/25). His review was not about the movie itself.
I’m pleased to see that the current State News editorial board feels the opinion page shouldn’t be used to foment hatred and intolerance (“Moral choice,” SN 3/1). I wish previous editorial boards had realized that publishing opinion columns and letters expressing negative beliefs about homosexual people is exactly the same kind of incitement to hatred and intolerance.
I was happy to see The State News is covering Ray Ziarno, the Green Party candidate for secretary of state (“Secretary of State race up for grabs,” SN 2/27). It’s good to see The State News covering more than the two major parties.
There are few things in this world funnier than people who try to tear apart something they don’t understand (“‘Damned’ is goth at its worst,” SN 2/25). I do not feel it is appropriate to generalize a group of people as clowns or imply that all “goth kids” are the same.
ASMSU is asking for more money out of students’ pockets, but the organization isn’t providing enough information to sell its plan to the undergraduate population. The organization wants student taxpayers to spend an extra $3 per semester on its services, upping its semesterly per student revenue from $13 to $16.
Your editorial on the publication of the hateful column in Wayne State University’s student newspaper was very well done (“Moral choice,” SN 3/1). It is always important to remind people that along with rights come responsibilities.
I’ve never been a very good politician. When I was younger I could blame my lack of politicking skills on my inability to do anything that required coordination - or maybe it was the glasses and braces.
