Drop cell phones, enjoy surroundings
As I walk around campus following the return of students, I am reminded of the reach of technology whenever I hear a cell phone go off.

Setting up the new pad in 6 easy steps
With Welcome Week - or Welcome Weekend, as it was - over, 40,000 students at this university are slowly recovering. Hangovers are being drowned in bottled water.
COMMENTARY
Tax cut plunders surplus
Less than a year ago, we told each other it didn’t matter if we elected George W. Bush or Al Gore and then proceeded to make sure we’d never be able to tell who actually got elected - thus saving the trouble of having either one of them as president. Unfortunately, George W’s daddy’s friends on the Supreme Court handed him his daddy’s old job, screwing people out of the “neither of two evils” situation. Seeking to legitimize himself as the rightful heir, George W.

Distracted
Some members of MSU’s undergraduate student government have a plan to enable students who feel underrepresented among the university’s leadership. At the Aug.
COMMENTARY
Knotts admission worthwhile debate
In response to the large number of letters regarding Eric Knott, I agree that none of us were there, so we don’t know exactly what happened.
COMMENTARY
Bike registration is mob-like scheme
The MSU Department of Police and Public Safety is running a protection racket.At the beginning of every year, the DPPS sends out a bulletin saying that all bikes on campus must be registered for a fee of $2.

Culture feeds sinister cycle of food merchants, weight loss fads
If I had retained all the weight I have lost during the last millennium I would probably weigh a cool 10,000 pounds.

Reader gets red at Trowbridge Road
I was happy to see the Trowbridge Road extension completed until I traveled that route Monday and Tuesday.
COMMENTARY
No mistake
Something must have touched the heartstrings of MSU’s parking enforcers during Welcome Weekend.
COMMENTARY
Recruits often kept despite problems
I agree with you in your disgust of the Eric Knott situation (“Cold reception,” SN 8/15). But before you lavish the University of Michigan with “high praise for their discretion and selectivity in choosing their players” consider the case of Kelly Baraka.
COMMENTARY
Smell of money drove U to Knott
I am disgusted officials would recruit and give a scholarship to Eric Knott. They obviously have no sense except a sense of smell for money.While admittedly I don't know the whole context of the comment Coach Bobby Williams made, but to say it was a “university decision” is ridiculous.
COMMENTARY
Say cheese!
The cameras, provided by the university to document the graduating Class of 2005 in connection with MSU’s 150th birthday, gives freshmen a chance to explore campus and find the many stories that accompany buildings, gardens and monuments. The sight of freshmen running around campus looking for that perfect shot reflects the pride we hope they show in their university. It also helps get them more accustomed to campus.
COMMENTARY
Players admission insults students
Shame on MSU, shame on the athletic department and shame on the trustees. Eric Knott's admission and scholarship is an insult to alumni, current students and the community.
COMMENTARY
Vegetarian column unfair, uninformed
I have two things that I’d like to comment on from Rishi Kundi’s column “Humans have earned spot at the top of food chain” (SN 8/23), which states his case against vegetarianism. First, I’d like to point out a discrepancy in his argument.

Singles no longer :) with regular dating scene
If you’ve been a somewhat regular user of an e-mail service, then you’ve probably received them.
COMMENTARY
Perceived rank
The review’s 2002 edition of “The Best 331 Colleges” hit bookshelves recently with good news and bad news for MSU.
COMMENTARY
SN lacked facts in Knott case editorial
As aspiring journalists you should remember what is taught in class and stick to the facts when reporting (“Cold reception,” SN 8/15). Leave the speculation to the tabloids. The little known facts in the Eric Knott case point not to rape, but at worst to sex between an eighth grader and a high school junior.
COMMENTARY
Donate furniture to charities, not curb
A suggestion to students now changing residences, and something to consider for later in the year to others: When semesters change and students move out of their houses and apartments many put usable furniture they no longer need out to the curb with a big “free” sign attached.

Freedom of speech requires all views be heard - even if wrong
I’ve always considered myself a sort of maverick of the First Amendment. “Congress shall make no law...” Y’all know how it goes - at least you should.
