Stop eating at corporate chains
Because of an excessive amount of online bagel trading, Bagel Fragel will be closing down (“Bagel Fragel to close down,” SN 4/19). Just kidding.

Sun is more than just light - it provides life
It’s not just light. And it goes far beyond warmth. Past the beautiful MSU women (all of you) who take off their winter coats, and the flying balls and Frisbees orbiting the residence halls.
COMMENTARY
Column displayed much ignorance
To say the least, it is unsettling to know such ignorance displayed in John La Fleur’s column exists (“ Institution of marriage is for heterosexuals,” SN 4/20). In fact, it makes me want to vomit. His definition of marriage is a “union from which children are born.” First of all, marriage is the union of two people.

Life after college is right around the corner
On Wednesday I received something in the mail that was scarier than my Verizon Wireless cell phone bill.Well, maybe not that frightening, but it certainly gave me chills.
COMMENTARY
Institution of marriage is for heterosexuals
I wonder how many readers of this column would object to the legal recognition of incestuous relationships, including states allowing a person to marry one of his/her first cousins or even a sibling. I do not refer to those relationships in which one person forces another to engage in sexual relations with a family member.
COMMENTARY
Original messages were offensive
In Tuesday’s paper, Michonne L. Omo stated in her column that the students who had altered existing Campus Crusade for Christ sidewalk messages were inconsiderate and disrespectful by changing statements like “Jesus loves you” to “Jesus wants you” (“Message shouldn’t have been tampered with,” SN 4/17). However, the original CCC messages were as offensive to non-Christians as the altered ones were to Christians.

As a former graduate assistant and a graduating doctoral student, the upcoming unionization election will have little impact on my life.

Police infiltration hinders critical dialogue
It’s too bad this is my last column.My education here is over and my stint in the college newspaper theater is drawing to a close.

More honesty
New developments make it evident that MSU officials were acting in the university’s best interest when they approved an undercover investigation of a student group.

Ticket U
An increase in student season tickets for football is not a big deal. A full-season student football ticket will cost $99, $16.50 a game, for next season, up from the $84, $14 a game, charged for the last two seasons.

Infiltration caused loss of respect
On March 27, Students for Economic Justice met with the president and administration in its continuing struggle to get MSU to cease its utilization of sweatshops.

COMMENTARY
Increase in ticket prices isnt right
I am writing in regards to the MSU Athletic Department’s decision to raise football ticket prices for the upcoming year (“Football ticket prices increase,” SN 4/16). I don’t believe in their philosophy that in order to create a more competitive football team, more money needs to be raised through ticket prices.
COMMENTARY
Players left for more than money
I was disappointed with Keith Dunlap’s column in The State News on Monday (“Richardson, Randolph must really love money,” SN 4/16). I don’t believe Dunlap has put himself in the shoes of either Jason Richardson or Zach Randolph and looked at the world through their eyes.

Grad union should answer questions
During the past few weeks, a lot has been said about the Graduate Employee Union and whether we should let them come to the bargaining table.

Message shouldnt have been tampered with
You can’t help but notice them. Every day the sidewalks of campus bring to you another message courtesy of your friendly neighborhood campus group.
