Smashed. Bombed. Wasted. Blown out. They all mean pretty much the same thing - drunk. College campuses look similar on weekends.
I have noticed people espousing that criticism of our government is inappropriate due to the events of Sept.11 and most recently in a letter that criticized Native American groups for protesting Columbus Day (“U.S.
People dead by the score. Innocent men, women and children killed. Civilian buildings targeted. Acts of terror from the sky.
How does that song go again? “Fight for the only colors, green and white... ” As I pedal my bike along the many paths of our emerald campus, why is it that I see students adorned with MSU sweatshirts, T-shirts and hoodies bearing, not our school colors, but red, light blue and even bright orange?
Every day when I walk through campus I find myself looking at symbols of patriotism because of the tragedy that occurred Sept.
More congratulations to college hockey’s winningest coach. MSU hockey head coach Ron Mason reached the landmark 900-win mark Saturday after the Spartans downed Ferris State at Munn Ice Arena. The milestone comes only weeks after Mason and his crew successfully pulled off the largest attended hockey game in the world.

As an American, I am deeply saddened by the tragedies of Sept. 11, and I think protection from terrorism is an important issue.
I’ve never felt the need to express my political opinions to the public until the events that have shaken our nation.
Our world lies now amid a roiling tide of blood, and I do not think that it will end before I am dead.
An alarmist might say our civil rights are in danger. Congress is preparing a bill which will allow law enforcement agencies greater freedom in investigating suspected terrorists.
In response to Andrew Banyai’s column (“End bombing of innocent people,” SN 10/16): As a result of American voters in this great democracy, the U.S.
After four years on this campus, there isn’t much that intimidates me. But there is one thing that scares me above all else - I get nervous driving in the area when I play my music loud. I’m not worried about the police giving me a noise violation ticket, although I have gotten a few in the past.
