How can MSU be so forgiving to T.J. Duckett when he’s looking out for his own interests? In an interview conducted with the College Football News in August 2001 Duckett said, “College is for four years.
I would like to remind the writers at The State News that writing unresearched and unsupported columns can be dangerous and misleading.
This letter is in response to The State News editorial “Bad Break” (SN, 1/9). The article explains the Catholic Diocese of Lansing is shutting down a play due to homosexual content and the involvement of the Michigan Triangle Foundation, a gay activist group, in the play.
I would just like to say that T.J. Duckett is a sellout. With Duckett we were about to build the most potent offense in college football today.
While it is extremely difficult to say goodbye to T.J. Duckett, an associate of mine helped me cope with the pain through some easy rationalization. The underlying reason we all came to college was to get a job, whether it be in agriculture, education, engineering ... or the NFL.
So much for a return to life as normal. It seems the terrorists that struck New York and Washington, D.C., on Sept.
Staying in Seattle with friends during the semester break, I had the opportunity to watch the movie “Get Real.” This British film is an exquisite portrayal of the struggles of Steven Carter, a closeted gay teen in his senior year of high school.
The Residence Halls Association should be commended for welcoming more voting representation for lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender students into its representation. RHA already hosts a representative from the Alliance of Lesbian-Bi-Gay-Transgendered Straight Ally Students.
Contrary to the editorial (“Bad Break,” SN 1/9), the church’s job and responsibility in society is not to condone society’s moral missteps under a blanket canopy of “love and tolerance,” but rather to provide a beacon of light to illuminate man’s shortcomings.
The state Legislature did a good thing in changing the funding priority for family planning agencies (“Planned Parenthood faces funding cutbacks,” SN 1/8). The goal for the bill mentioned in Tuesday‘s article is to divert funds from abortion-related organizations to those that promote family health.
The first thing you notice is that the streets don’t have those pillars as their vanishing point anymore.
The continued trashing of football head coach Bobby Williams by The State News and its readers is absurd (“Not worth it,” SN 1/7). Williams, was thrown into coaching his first game and first bowl game when he won the 2000 Florida Citrus Bowl.
I applaud MSU’s decision to extend Bobby Williams’ contract (“Not worth it,” SN 1/7). The vote of confidence and support will go a long way to improve the football program.
T.J. Duckett has given MSU football a good ride since stepping onto the field at Spartan Stadium. It will be sad to hear his early decision to rush away from the sidelines. A source close to Duckett told The State News the junior running back will announce his plan to forego his senior season and enter the NFL Draft at 4 p.m.
Give blood. You may save someone’s life. The nation’s blood banks have experienced severe shortages for a few years.
My friends and I, for a while now, have called The State News the “Daily Oppressor.” We have so named it for various reasons, one being the large amount of grammatical errors.
I am writing in response to the letter “Band not worth sending to bowl” (SN 1/8). First of all, it is obvious that you know nothing about the band or anything that we are about.
I totally disagree with your assessment of football head coach Bobby Williams (“Not worth it,” SN 1/7). I believe Williams has done a wonderful job this year.
I am sick of hearing about the Meridian Mall case (“Meridian Mall group should help others,” SN 1/7) and even more sick of the “victims” still complaining about the injustice they’ve endured.
MSU students may be envious of University of Michigan students now that they will have a two-day semester break every fall.
