I am writing in response to the editorial, “Message Lost” (SN 9/10). I am disappointed by the judgmental and insulting language used to describe the first anti-rape protest. The article begins with a very objective, detached description of the legal circumstances of Eric Knott and Damon Dowdell.
Our armed forces are setting out on their first assignments of Operation Infinite Justice, and some of our friends and loved ones are among those taking up arms to combat the evil of terrorism around the world. Many men and women, some no older than most college students, are going off to fight a war against a faceless enemy - an enemy that fights from and hides in the shadows. We’ve seen this coming since Sept.
I have heard many references to Pearl Harbor over the past few days and many have expressed concern over future terrorist attacks.
As I slowly put myself together early Sept. 11 in preparation for my morning class, I received a phone call telling me to simply turn on the TV.
Picture this: You stand in the middle of a classroom and voice an opinion the majority of your fellow classmates disagree with.
Sept. 11’s violence against our country fills us all with mixed feelings of shock, fear, outrage and even anger.
I don’t want to write about Sept. 11’s tragedy. I don’t want to write about the pain, loss, devastation and disappointment.
On Friday, the Board of Trustees could speak for the first time about last year’s undercover police investigation of a student activist group.
U.S. flag sales have soared thanks to the surge of patriotism that has flooded our nation after last week’s terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington.
For the second time in the past year, I opened up The State News MS&U section to see another 19 Wheels show being promoted by the paper (“19 Wheels to play at Rick’s,” SN 9/13). As a long time fan of the band it is nice to see it get coverage in their hometown.
I am deeply saddened by the recent events in our country. I strongly believe now is the time to rally together to fight against this act.
Quite literally, the dust has not settled. The southern tip of Manhattan is still bound by an oppressive cloud of vaporized gypsum, marble, ash and concrete.
If money can be an indicator of love for this campus, MSU President M. Peter McPherson’s heart must be as big as his wallet. How big is that?
Any person who would intimidate or harass our Muslim neighbors is, in effect, declaring their support of Osama bin Laden.
I think it is great plans are being made to make the campus a better place for 2020 and thereafter, but aren’t there some smaller steps that could be taken now? Parking has been such a problem on this campus and even though the new ramp was installed off of Trowbridge Road, it doesn’t help commuters who have class on the other side of campus.
This letter is in regard to Monday’s headline, “War or peace?” (SN 9/17). We are already at war, even though it has not been officially declared by our government.
Sunday was a very difficult day for me. It was a day I never thought I would see: a September Sunday without the National Football League. I wasn’t sure what to do with myself. After talking with my parents and my sisters on the telephone, I decided to do what I always do on Sunday.
Your article commending the efficient job done by stadium security during the first football game (“Greencoats regulate fans,” SN 9/10) is anything but true.
Plain and simple, this was an attack on America and its citizens. All of us were targeted Sept. 11.
Students may have noticed new equipment in the library and computer labs. The new equipment is the result of $202 million raised by the university from donors during the 2000-2001 budget year.
