I was pleased Gov. John Engler named March GHB Awareness Month (“Engler sets March for GHB awareness,” SN 3/15). I thought the article did a good job of raising awareness about the dangers of gamma hydroxybutyrate. Unfortunately, like so many articles about rape, this one seemed to focus exclusively on women and victims.
It’s a cool, clear and breezy November day. Everyone’s anticipating the turkey roasting in the oven, but not as much as they are for the Lions’ game.
Nate Allen’s editorial cartoon in the March 13 issue of The State News throws light on how President Bush’s self-righteous foreign policy might put world peace into danger.
I am writing in response to the letter titled “Don’t support tax increase for ASMSU” (SN 3/13). The letter insinuates that ASMSU members spend tax money on themselves, which is not the case.
I’m disturbed by the improper and unprofessional distribution of funds by the ASMSU Funding Board.
The mismanagement of student tax dollars has become a common trend for the Residence Halls Association.
I respect and enjoy reading The State News, but I can’t help but to criticize Tuesday’s editorial (“Spilled milk,” SN 3/12). The condemnation of men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo in regards to questioning the standards of the NCAA Selection Committee is utterly ridiculous.
In most respects, I consider myself to be a fairly average guy. Like most average guys, I want to finish school, find a desirable job and potentially settle down with 2.3 children and a house in suburbia.
The State News editorial “Election errors” (SN 3/14) erroneously reported the number of James Madison College students and members of the college’s Student Senate on ASMSU’s All University Election Commission.
While there have been improvements at MSU concerning awareness of the lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender community, there’s still a long way to go before true acceptance on campus can be achieved. In 1992, the University-Wide Task Force on Lesbian and Gay Issues and MSU published “Moving Forward,” a report that assessed the climate toward the LBGT community and identified ways to improve that quality of life.
Today, love obliges me to defend hate. A grandiloquent sentence to write, but humor me. On Feb.
I believe I have found a way that The State News does not need to raise its tax to $5 a semester. I work in Holden Hall, and every evening I throw away about 100 papers because students have not picked them up to read.
ASMSU might as well move its offices to Florida as the undergraduate student government is at the center of the biggest election debacle since the 2000 presidential contest. Student Life officials Wednesday decided to cancel all universitywide elections concerning ASMSU after the organization made the request due to online voting glitches and a lack of communication.
The United States took a huge leap toward working for a peaceful solution between Palestinians and Israelis by endorsing the idea of a Palestinian sovereign nation.
I am writing in response to Graduate Employees Union President Jessica Goodkind’s letter (“Union will do what it takes for contract,” SN 3/13). The union says it wants undergraduates to have the best education opportunities; but it supports asking undergraduates to skip classes.
This is in response to Joe McCleer’s opinion that men’s basketball Head Coach Tom Izzo shouldn’t complain about MSU’s seed in the NCAA Tournament (“Izzo has nothing to cry about, seed OK,” SN 3/13). He asks what’s the difference between a No.
Strong claims were made in the editorial “Not the answer” (SN 3/12). Unfortunately, these claims were based more on conjecture than fact or reason.
Humans can do some pretty rotten things to one another. That is the main reason why news makes me sick to my stomach a lot more than I expect it to. During the week prior to spring break, the nation’s eyes were turned to Massachusetts, where a bounty of Roman Catholic priests have been accused of sexually molesting children.
I was disappointed with the editorial “Not the answer” (SN 3/12), regarding negotiations between the Graduate Employees Union and the MSU administration and the possibility of a strike.
Responsibility on the part of businesses and restaurants that serve alcohol promotes responsibility all around.
