I am writing to express my disappointment and irritation to the majority of the business representatives at the Liberal Arts Career Fair on Thursday.
If you don’t want your teenage children to get roughed up by police, then teach them not to steal cars. That’s what I would have told a group of about a dozen people who turned out at a meeting earlier this month to discuss an investigation into Lansing police officers’ use of force in arresting two teens. For those of you not familiar with this story, let me offer you a quick recap.
Sometimes the best way to learn about a culture is not sitting at a desk in a classroom and listening to a professor lecture about it.
“Making the choice” (SN 3/21) reassured me in my recent referendum vote against The State News tax increase.
I’m 22 years old and I have a 4-year-old daughter. I found out I was pregnant at the start of my senior year in high school.
American culture has an unhealthy way of looking to its athletic heroes as demigods who live outside the rules of normal society.
Black students should be able to recognize both their culture and successful graduation during commencement weekend. Based on a program at the University of Michigan, the Black Celebratory will recognize graduating black students’ achievements at a May 3 ceremony. The program also brings attention to the low minority retention rates.
I am responding to the article “Graduation event stirs debate” (SN 3/22). Not to come off as being racist or anything of that nature, but if this second graduation was for white people only it would be deemed as seriously prejudicial. The event is open to all races.
Sometimes I really miss Napster. I’d often hear the song that’s been in my head for a week on the radio while driving home from work.
It’s great the women’s basketball team did well this year. But I hope it’s not 100 percent satisfied.
I was dismayed to read the Page One article “Making the Choice” (SN 3/21). Three major aspects of the abortion problem were missing. The first was any consideration for a baby.
I hate when I’m embarrassed to be an MSU student. It almost never happens, but I felt it as I was leaving Thursday’s lecture with filmmaker Spike Lee.
Lame-duck Gov. John Engler should quit trying to play the godfather by making Michigan judges offers they can’t refuse during his final months in office. The chief executive hoped to move an early retirement plan for judges through the Legislature before lawmakers broke for a two-week vacation this week.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Women’s basketball head coach Joanne P. McCallie asked for it during this season’s kickoff celebration, and while it may have taken a while for her to get it, it’s better late than never.
The complexity of human love makes rational discussion difficult. We think we understand what it means to love and be loved.
This is in response to “Making the choice” (SN 3/21). I was shocked and appalled when I saw this article and the pictures that went with it.
I am writing in response to Marcus Taylor’s decision to go pro or stay in school (“Taylor ticker,” SN 3/20). It really makes me sick, as a Spartan, to see he could be considering turning pro.
In Tom Smucker’s letter (“Need for contract affects ‘U’ majority,” SN 3/20), he claims the Graduate Employees Union is supported by a majority of graduate students, and the participation of “hundreds of graduate employees” in union activities is evidence of a majority initiative.
I couldn’t agree more with the sentiments expressed by the McDonel Hall residents who are footing a large bill due to vandalism (“U’ irked by hall damage rule,” SN 3/14). Since when does cleaning up other people’s messes constitute a moral obligation?
We attended ASMSU’s town hall discussion Tuesday night. ASMSU has the gall to come to the student body and ask for a $3 tax increase, which will put its projected revenue over $1 million.
