With Halloween (otherwise known as parents’ second-least favorite holiday) out of the way, moms and dads around the country can brace themselves for their least favorite holiday - Christmas.
The house fire Monday night on Sunrise Court is a tragedy for the students who lived there, but we hope it will call attention to the need for everybody to pay more attention to fire safety throughout the city. When looking for a place to live, students need to take note of the condition of the house, where it is and how old it is.
On Sunday, I attended the MSU women’s basketball exhibition. However, I had to leave at halftime because I had a paper to write.
I was reading The State News on Monday and noticed there wasn’t an article about the women’s basketball game against the Premier All-Stars that happened on Sunday at Breslin Center.
What’s up with not covering the women’s basketball team? There is a lot of interest in the sport, but you have no coverage!
I think it’s time the United States starts taking a real look at why other countries hate us.
I’m writing in response to the recent allegations of racial profiling against 10 black students who where asked to leave the Deb Shop at Meridian Mall. This has caused quite a situation in East Lansing, and I have a couple of complaints.
It’s that time of the semester again. The time when ASMSU’s loan service closes up shop, leaving penniless students, well - penniless. But that may be the smallest problem for our undergraduate student government’s bank service.
The Muslim Students’ Association is spending this week trying to teach our community about its culture - and that awareness has never been more important than now.Although the group’s Islam Awareness Week is an annual occurrence, the popularity of this year’s events will daunt the awareness weeks of the past.
It was perhaps the most frustrating night for American journalists - and I was one of them. The election of 2000. Yikes. By nightfall, every newsroom in the United States was in turmoil.
Congratulations to Raphael Goodstein. In his ramblings (“Think ‘U’ are on par with the Maize and Blue?
Let’s recognize we are not an island. Our reliance upon the League of Nations assumed we were immune to outside influences and the result was World War II. We are pompous and puritanical if we assume our standards for human behavior is mandated to other societies.
The 10 MSU students involved in the racial profiling case against the Deb Shop in Meridian Mall have a lot of guts.While shopping for Fake the Funk 11 outfits in the mall on Oct.
During perhaps the most exciting sports event I’ve ever witnessed, there was something at the football game this past weekend that frightened me a great deal.
I’m responding to your recent story detailing 10 black students’ forthcoming lawsuit against the Deb Shop in Meridian Mall (“Students accuse mall of discrimination,” SN 11/1). My opinion rests squarely in favor of Deb. As a private store, Deb clearly has some right to expel disruptive individuals or groups who may be hindering other shoppers.
It’s a shame to see a group of firefighters in New York facing criminal charges for some altercations during a rally Friday. Protesting Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s decision to reduce the number of firefighters from the recovery efforts at the World Trade Center disaster site from 300 to 24, 12 people - 11 active firefighters among them - were arrested on charges of inciting a riot, assault, criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct and obstructing governmental administration. Hundreds of firefighters took part in the protest, organized by the Uniformed Firefighters Association, which believes the cutbacks were done for economic reasons and that all debris, including remains, would be sent to a landfill on Staten Island. City officials said the scaling back was a necessity to maintain safety, noting several near misses at the unsafe site. Clearly, the firefighters were in violation of the law, but it’s a case that is completely understandable.
Tuesday’s election will decide who fills two open seats on East Lansing’s City Council. Residents and students will have four candidates to choose from - Planning Commission Chairman Kevin Beard, Planning Commissioner Liz Harrow, Downtown District Authority Chairman Vic Loomis and two-term incumbent Councilmember Bill Sharp. But whoever is chosen, the important thing is that students get out and choose someone. Student voter apathy is one of the biggest problems on campus.
As I made my way to Spartan Stadium on Saturday, I was just as excited as the next Spartan. I had my camera and was ready to see a great game. After fighting my way through the crowd, I finally turned in my voucher for a ticket.
I have to admit, The State News has really found a winner with the hilarious political comics by Ted Rall.
I can’t speak for everybody, but I’m really getting tired of the bias toward the University of Michigan whenever it comes to MSU. It seems like every time the Spartans make the maize and blue look bad, there are a million excuses why it happened, except for the reason that MSU just came out on top. According to a friend of mine in Ann Arbor, the Wolverines are absolutely livid about Saturday’s last-second touchdown play that handed victory to MSU.
