Call me a dreamer, but I don’t think it is necessary for people to be confined to labels or the categories placed on them by others.
A new Cold War will break out this weekend. On Saturday, MSU will set the world record for the most-attended hockey game in history, converting a football field into a hockey rink and, we hope, toppling Michigan.This game has been in the works since late June, when MSU sports officials first toyed with the idea.
It is easy for a graduate student to criticize the actions of its union (“‘Buffoons’ running graduate union ,” SN 10/2). In fact, it is the responsibility of each member to hold leaders accountable.
Riding my bike on campus has always been a joy. Although hurling unsuspecting pedestrians from sidewalks with my two-wheeled missile is a beloved pastime, I sometimes choose to exercise my legal rights of riding on the road on campus with other Spartans, the tolerant, intelligent, sympathetic people they are. I’d like to thank the gentleman who bestowed upon me a gracious honk as I made my way home on my bike from class.
For many students who have felt threatened or faced sexual assault, the green light emergency phones scattered around campus are a welcome sight.
The Task Force on Student-Police Relations held its first open forum Tuesday night. But something important was lacking: The voices of regular students.A crowd of more than 70 people kept the forum running for several hours, but most of the people who expressed concerns about MSU police had formal titles that usually included ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government.It’s nice to see our student leaders taking the initiative to have their voices heard, but the task force was created to gather information from the student body - not an elite group of people that already has access to campus administrators.But the task force and the very student government leaders who spoke Tuesday night failed in their most important task.
It has been three weeks since we watched America become the victim of unbridled hatred and misguided devotion.
Thank you for the article on the MSU Skate Club (“Skate, Rattle and Roll: On board with ‘U’ skaters,” SN 10/3). I sincerely hope the article and accompanying picture will result in police action against the individuals responsible for destroying the stone edging in front of the Kresge Art Center.
I am the least athletic human being on Earth, and that’s counting the dead ones. Nevertheless, I am extraordinarily fond of movies about sports.
It was only seven months ago that East Lansing uncovered a little of its lost history. The discovery came in the form of several advertisements painted on the side of the building that houses Curious Book Shop, 307 E.
The errors of fact in this opinion piece (“Out of ammo,” SN 9/27) are too numerous to bother addressing. One item, however, stands out: equating concealed carry with gun availability.
It’s amazing how planes crashing into the World Trade Center can get Congress to pass some bills.
As much as university officials try to control alcohol use, it is still a big part of the college student’s experience on campus.It would be a falsehood to say alcohol has not caused any problems on campus over the years.
Your Sept. 27 editorial “Out of Ammo” on the failure of the anti-concealed weapon movement in Michigan was poorly reasoned and ill-informed.
As the November general election draws closer, time is running out for residents - including students - to register to vote. The registration deadline is Oct.
Just about everyone can remember their elementary school principal. The principal was the guy (or gal) that everyone made fun of. Maybe you had a nickname for your principal, anything to make him seem a little less fearsome.
For the past weeks, I have driven and walked past the rock on Farm Lane and found the U.S. flag which had been painted on it to be not only inspiring, but a reminder the MSU community supports our nation’s fallen victims and its heroes. But as of this weekend, the rock has been painted over by Alpha Tau Omega.
Critics are urging MSU sports officials to change the name of “The Cold War” before Saturday’s record-breaking outdoor matchup.
I am writing to state my complete disgust with Ted Rall’s political comic “The Making of the Resident - 2001” published in The State News on Oct 1.
I am one of the many graduate students suffering the great misfortune of being represented by the new Graduate Employees Union.
