I would like to voice my displeasure with the CDs that the MS&U section chose to review Wednesday (“‘Grinch’ updates classic,” “Manson stresses music over shock” and “Blink-182 brings back punk with live album,” SN 11/22). Choosing not to review the Backstreet Boys’ newest CD, “Black & Blue,” is not only unprofessional, but also an insult to pop music fans everywhere.
Vice President Al Gore should concede despite the narrow margin of his defeat. Both Gore and Texas Gov.

In response to Ben Hartnell’s letter (“Bush is winner in lengthy series,” SN 11/20), I have to say I hope to expect more out of my future children’s history teachers than what Hartnell displayed in his very inaccurate and entirely negative portrayal of the U.S.
I am writing on behalf of many MSU students regarding an issue that we believe needs to be addressed.
One fact that was left out of the article (“Dems elect new House leaders,” SN 11/13) is that Rep.
Is Thanksgiving still Thanksgiving without the turkey? Trust me, it is. My turkey-free diet is always a source of fascination, but is under even more scrupulous examination during the holidays, when I am the only one without a piece of the roast beast on my dinner plate.
I’m writing to express my concern over two programs which were sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ on Monday and Tuesday.

In response to the Robin Sanborn’s letter about this year’s election being one for the history books - that may very well be the case (“Election is one for the history books,” SN 11/17). But the real problems are overlooked and the wrong things are being glorified.

The State News strikes again. I read in Wednesday’s State News that Ruth Hubbard would be visiting MSU’s campus to give the McPherson Professorship lecture on “How the Genome Became the Book of Life” Thursday night at 7:30 p.m.
I’ve recently been reminded of why I get so excited for the holidays. One of my cousins is pregnant so the whole Schewe clan - 40 people strong - gathered for a co-ed baby shower.We spent some time together as we celebrated the future arrival of a new cousin and it gave me a taste of the holidays ahead.Thanksgiving always was such fun because it meant my siblings would be coming home from college and we would be making a pilgrimage to Detroit for the annual feast with the extended family.
As a history intern at a high school, the recent presidential election has become quite a “teachable moment.” We have scrapped our lesson plans and used the past few days as an opportunity to teach our students about the Electoral College and the election process.
The Black Student Alliance’s approach to prevent conflicts at on-campus events will be an effective means of obtaining peace for all students.At its first town hall meeting Thursday, BSA proposed eight community standards, including limiting events to MSU students only, having zero tolerance for interruptions and enforcing rules against loitering.In addition to only allowing MSU students to attend these events, BSA also plans to improve crowd control and deny admission to those who have previously caused conflict.BSA wants to establish annual town hall meetings so black students can voice opinions and share ideas with student and administrative groups.BSA has worked with other organizations, such as the MSU Department of Police and Public Safety, National Panhellenic Council, Coalition for Multicultural Education and residence hall black caucuses after recent outbreaks of violence occurred at events sponsored by black student organizations.Concerns have heightened after at least two fights broke out at Campus Center events this semester.
