With Thanksgiving weekend, a harsh student ticket policy and 43-degree weather on schedule, it’s a safe bet to expect a pitiful showing of students for Saturday’s game against Minnesota.
Most of us don’t go to school just for the pure joy of learning; we get a degree so we can get a job. Unfortunately, some professors’ strict attendance policies are getting in the way of students finding work.
We are all students and attend college so that we can search for opportunities. However, classes should not be the only place to search. There are amazing things to learn outside of the classroom through the many activities that are provided through student groups and other organizations.
It’s ironic that students do not believe their own student government is in touch with them. ASMSU considers itself an entity whose goal is to “establish a collective student voice.”
Politicians, parents and even friends will tell you to stay in Michigan after graduation. I’ve heard about the brain drain more times than I can count, and I understand keeping grads in the state will help its recovery from the Great Recession.
When it comes down to it, there are no excuses. Whatever reason someone dreams up to somehow justify drunken driving is total garbage, and here’s why.
MSU recently opened a new center to provide support for MSU students who are veterans. In 2007, ASMSU anticipated the need for an organization dedicated to addressing and advocating concerns of veterans who were students at MSU.
Handing out student IDs needed to end — however, friends and family of students shouldn’t have to pay the price. One way to prevent this would be taking the ID out of the equation.
Whether it happens in our neighborhoods, or other cities or states, we must come together as one community, because this killing and others like it affect us all. As MSU students, faculty and staff, many of us come from Detroit and have loved ones across Michigan; and though we currently live in Lansing, this tragedy has a direct impact on our quality of life.
Expecting an insurance company to help students and boost downtown East Lansing seems counterintuitive, but Jackson National Life has exceeded expectations. Even the feeling of walking past the building and peering into the big glass windows to see the quirky workplace inside is encouraging.
For students living paycheck to paycheck who don’t have enough, or anything, left after rent to pay for groceries, there’s nothing wrong with asking for help.
After years of disappointment and failure, a grocery store and new apartments are exactly what this city needs.
The cold and flu season is an annual battle for college students and let’s face it, we will lose. So when you inevitably fall under the weather, hopefully some of these tips come in handy.
Instead of drafting policies to dramatically shift the face of the city, the commission should focus on tapping into the patrons that already are responsible for boosting business. Ditching the cap on patrons at bars and working to change the 50/50 ordinance will help, but additional policies along the same vein must continue for the city’s success.
Regardless of the situation and regardless of how many times a victim has gone back to the person who left them bleeding on the floor, it’s not their fault. It’s never their fault.
We are not the type of people that need to have our hand held or someone to tell us what to do; believe me, we have had enough of that. We need to know that there are others here at MSU who have gone through what we have. A common space might be all that we need.
Today, MSU opens the Veterans’ Resource Center, a place for veterans to come together and share experiences. While this is a positive sign for student veterans, having a public space is worthless without adequate support from university administrators.
These are the people fighting for us. They are the ones who risked their lives every day to make sure we can live like we do. Without our veterans, I wouldn’t be sitting here writing this column. These people do so much for us; it’s our duty to give something back.
A year and about 115,000 visitors later, and most students still only know the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum as “the spaceship” that landed on campus. The Broad hosts events such as discussions, movie screenings and live music performances weekly. In a city already brimming with bars, students should be flocking to one of East Lansing’s few quality and large-scale cultural centers, especially with events that cater to students including the student band concert this September as part of a celebration welcoming us back to campus. Unfortunately, there seems to be a disconnect with students.
There’s a general rule for trying to pick women up at the library: don’t.
